Zayn P.O.V

I laid down on the picnic bench while Liam went to go get a doctor. I sighed.

"Hey Zayn-o, why the long face? Still sick-o?" Louis hovered over me. I nodded. "That can't possibly make you that un happy. What is it? I let you talk for a change." Louis smirked.

I sighed. "I don't think my stomach actually hurts. Like -"

"It's bubbly?" Louis cut me off. I nodded, smiling to myself. Louis smirked the biggest smirk I've ever seen. "I knew you'd like him," Louis looked behind him, "I TOLD HIM!" He yelled. I laughed and sat up.

Harry and Josh were looking in his direction with thumbs up.

I couldn't help but blush.

I was released from the hospital wing with a random officer escorting me back to my cell.

I just had a heavy fever. I was okay after a few hours.

"Alright, goodnight Zayn." An Officer said as he locked me up.

I sat down on my bench and stared into the grayish darkness. I watched Andy do push ups with one arm.

"Soooooooooooo," Louis sang, "did the nurse find anything wrong?" He asked. I nodded. "Just a fever." I shrugged.

"And the stomach thing?"

"Bubbly."

Louis slipped through the bars. "So does that mean..." He looked as if he were gonna pop like a balloon.

I smiled and nodded.

And then Louis exploded. "YAY!"

"SHUT UP LEWIS!" An angry sounding Josh yelled. "Fuck off Joshua." Louis snapped back.

"Anyway, what's your next plan?" Louis asked urgently. I raised an eyebrow in question. "My next plan? I didn't even have a plan in the first place." I shrugged, laying down on my bench.

"Wait, so being a whiney bitch then having Liam carry you as a bride wasn't a plan? Wow, it must come naturally for you. Now wonder in your in the top prison facility." Louis said. Zayn raised an eyebrow. "This couldn't possibly be the top -"

"Believe, my friend. It may seem easy to break out of, but that's what they want prisoners to think."

"But didn't you-"

"Ya, but never out of the building itself."

I sat up and stared blankly at Louis.

And I was beginning to think Niall was the confusing one.

"So you like Liam, I know how you could figure out if he likes you back... if you were interested." Louis said, sitting - too close for comfort - beside me.

I shot him a really? glance. "What? You could've said no." Louis shrugged. I chuckled. "I would like to hear what you have to say." I said. Louis smiled goofily and jumped up.

"To know if he really likes you, is to show I'm at your lowest and weakest point that makes you look ugly," ugly? Me? Please, "So we just need to make you look like garbage."

Is he legit right now? He couldn't possibly think that this would actually work, right? I don't think Liam is like that... right? He's caring and sweet and wouldn't diss them just because they have a pimple on their face or a large nasty battle scar.

"Liam couldn't be that shallow... could he?"

"I don't know. He's a dude."

"But your also a d-"

"I'm gonna go to sleep now, g'night."

Midnight rolled around and I couldn't help but think over

Louis's words. I mean, how will I get myself hurt?

I looked across my cell into the grayish darkness with a black blob doing push-ups.

If Andy just gives me a scratch... that should probably do it.

I looked at my cell bars. I walked up to them. I turned to the side and sucked my stomach in and slipped through.

Oh my god I'm out. I could leave and get Zendaya and bolt and...

Liam.

I sighed. If only he didn't exist, I'd be gone.

"Psst," I looked behind me, "what the hell are you doing?" Louis whispered-yelled. "Garbage." I whispered.

"ZAYN NOT SMART! THATS NOT THE WAY!" Louis whispered loudly. I shrugged.

Andy could just be a big ole softy.

I slipped through his cell bars. I walked right up behind him and tapped his shoulder.
