Can't Get Enough - One Direction Fanfic

Chapter 3 - Scandalous Behaviour

Zayn’s POV:

I woke up in a haze, sunshine glistening into the room as a result of the half open curtains and the news broadcasting through the TV. I pulled myself up so I was sitting upright on the couch. I looked around at what I thought was the deserted lounge room, wondering where everyone was, pondering on the fact that it was so quiet until my gaze averted to a figure sitting on the single seater couch. His sunlit brown eyes skimming through the Mac he had perched on top of his legs, while he took a rather large bite out of his giant cookie.

“Liam, where are the rest of the lads?” I questioned still drowsy. Liam looked up in shock, taken back a bit by my words.

“Oh your up man, I didn’t even realise. Um anyway the others decided to head to Nandos, I chose to stay here with you, don’t worry though they said they’d bring us something back so it’s all good.”

“Okay cool. So watcha been doing? Twitter?” I asked scratching the back of my head.

“Yeah and reading some emails, kinda boring but I don’t want my inbox to fill up.”

“Completely reasonable” I said a smile forming on my face. I decided to change the channel I wasn’t a big fan of the news. I picked up the thin black remote and flipped to the cartoon channel; SpongeBob was on. Nothing made me happier than watching my favourite talking sponge. Liam smiled at me then returned to reading his emails and tweets.

*“You’re making me claustrophobic” “What does claustrophobic mean?” “It means he’s afraid of Santa Claus” “HO, HO, HO!” “Stop it, Patrick! You’re scaring him!”*

I started cracking up with laughter, even though I had watched this episode almost a million times it was still always funny. “What the Hell?” Liam barked now standing after placing his laptop on the coffee table quite harshly.

“What’s wrong Li? Did twitter crash or something?” I asked sarcastically. Liam started to pace the room repeating the same questions; ‘How could someone do this? Why would someone do this?’ I then changed my tone realising that something actually was wrong. “Liam!” I called, that got his attention, he immediately stopped in his tracks and looked me dead in the eyes.

“Thank you. Now what’s wrong? What happened? I felt myself tense up once I had finished the sentence, fearing what his answer might be.  

“HEY GUYS WE’RE BACK AND WE BROUGHT NANDOS!” Niall chirped as he, Harry and Louis walked into the room carrying take out bags that read; Nandos. As they got to us the smiles on their faces faded.

“What’s going on?” Louis inquired in suspicion.

“I was just about to find out, Liam?” I stated gesturing my hand towards Liam as a signal to get on with it.

“Well guys you might wanna put the food down and take a seat, this is big.” The boys did as they were asked and then joined me on the soft, plush couch. “Okay so I got an email for management just now informing me that apparently someone has leaked photos of the five of us at a party where Zayn, Harry and Niall are doing Cocaine.”

My heart froze on the word COCAINE.  I had never been ten feet near cocaine so the idea that someone had photos of me doing it came as a shock. I knew what that stuff did to you and there was no way I was going to do that to myself.  A million thoughts were running through my mind when Harry spoke, “This is bullshit right? Wait, what am I saying of course this is bullshit we have never done drugs and we don’t plan on doing them!” The anger and rage in his voice was clear and visible as you could almost see the steam cascading out of his now bright red ears.

“I’m with Haz on this, this is totalling bogus, and where did the person even get these alleged pictures of us anyway? I bet you they’re photo shopped!” Niall added the same anger emerging on his baby like face.
