Part 8 - Zayn's Reaction

[Now let’s go to Liam’s point of view]

The last question that Elena asked me really gets me silent. I knew it that soon she would know Zayn is the only one who didn’t like her to be here. I don’t even get it either why Zayn wouldn’t like her. But I can’t say ‘no’ to her.

“Why? What happened? What has he done to you?”

I walk closer to her right side. Because talk about this in a distance is really a bad idea.

“No. nothing. He’s thoroughly done nothing to me. I just feel like he doesn’t like me. That’s all. And I’m wondering why. I thought that you know the reason.”

She continues cutting the onions. Hey! She’s cut the onions so many. I didn’t realize that. “Wait, Elena! You’ve cut all the onions that we need. I think you may cut the tomatoes now. Here.”

I give the tomatoes in front of her. “Oh. Okay. Sorry.” She said. She didn’t look at me anymore.

“Maybe something that you don’t know about Zayn is that he’s bipolar.” I think this might help.

“What?” She eventually looks at me.

“Yeah. At first he can become so happy but a moment later, he can become so moody.”

She looks me in the eyes. I’m worried that she’s thinking that I’m lying. But I’m not.

“I didn’t know about that. Thanks for telling me, Liam. I feel a bit fine.”

“You’re welcome.” She continues cutting the tomatoes. She definitely still looks upset. “but I’ll talk to him later for you. I promise. I’m not sure either actually.”

“Really?” She looks at me again with glimmering eyes. Oh I just can’t. “Thank you!”

“Haha. You’re welcome.” That’s exactly what she wants me to do. But actually I’m so glad she’s finally glad.

So we cook the dinner together. She’s really a good cook. I can see how she handles everything that I give to her without even saying something. Or even complaining. But we do talk about random things. She tells me a lot about her life in the orphanage. She says that in that orphanage, the people there only eat chicken once a month. It was a bit sad but I have no idea why at the end she always says, “I was so thankful because at least I can feel a bit of that.” She just wants to make me want to hug her. Really.

Time for dinner! I’ll just have to serve the foods and it’s all done. Really good that I know all of the lads are in the house.

“DINNER, GUYS!!”

I shouted to all rooms. This house is definitely big and the boys can be spreading to every corners of this house.

Niall comes first and then followed by Zayn. I remember what Elena just told me earlier. That made me see Zayn in a different vision. But he thoroughly looks fine.

Then I hear some screamings.

“LET’S FIGHT THE FOODS!!!” That’s Louis. Running over to here.

“FOR NARNIAAA!!!” Hahaha. Is that Elena on his back? What? Haha. Louis is carrying Elena on his back.

Niall laughs. Then I see Zayn, he just does a little giggle. He doesn’t give me any clue that he hates Elena. So far.

I’m here, watching TV, in the living room, with Louis and Zayn. Louis is on his cell phone, texting, and Zayn is on his iPad.

“Where’s Elena?” I asked to everyone who knows the answer.

“In her room. Sleeping. After I read her a bed time story.” Louis answered casually.

“You read her a bed time story?” Zayn asked. I just wanted to ask the exact same question. Zayn and I look at Louis weirdly.

Louis looks at us both. “why? It’s time for her to sleep. I told her to sleep but she said she couldn’t. Then I told her a bed time story and it really worked.”

I look at Zayn as he looks at me too. We’re thinking the same thought. Well, just let Louis do his works as a good big brother. Then we continue our activities.

“I honestly still can’t believe that we really just adopted a girl in our house.” Louis said.

“yeah. Me neither.” Said Zayn with his flat voice.

“Can you just imagine, when she’s in the school? Her friends were like, ‘my dad is a pilot’ or ‘my dad is a football player’ and then Elena would be like ‘my dads are One Direction!’. Oh I just love if that really happens.” Louis makes a dreamy face.

I laugh at his imaginations. That never came to my mind actually. Zayn chuckles, “like we all married her mom at the same time.”

I giggle. That’s not appropriate actually but it is a bit funny.

“Oh. Excuse me, boys! I get a business.” Louis said and left us alone.

Okay. I got to talk to Zayn about Elena. “Zayn, are you still unhappy about Elena?”

“I just have to get used to it.” He sighs.

“Well, she’s a bit worried about you.”

“What?” He looks at me. A bit surprised.
