Chapter 2: Welcome
*Same Friday*
Currently everyone is in the cafeteria with Liam preserving their seat while trying to coax soft words out of  Zayn. But Zayn hasn't said a single syllable since he got here, Harry stared at him from the lunch line, trying to figure out his intentions.

"Jesus can this line go any slower" Niall whines “Actually Niall, I’m not that hungry so I’ll go back to the table" Harry says, his gaze not leaving the two boys at the table. "Does that mean I can eat your food then" Niall asked cheerfully but Harry is already walking to them.

"So Zayn do you wanna eat anything" Liam said kindly but once again Zayn didn't answer. He just stares down at the table and plays with the hem of his shirt. Harry plopped down in the seat next to Liam and across from Zayn "If he doesn't wanna talk you can't force him....it's one less annoying voice" Harry mumbled the last part, Liam slapped Harry In the back of the head "ooh shut up Harry, you were like this when you first arrived"

"But I told you when I was hungry" Harry stated, "True but" Liam said "But what" Harry snapped “I don't even know" Liam said while dragging his hands down his face "That’s what I thought” Harry replied, rolling his eyes.

"Well I need to go get some food" Liam said "Bro! can you get me a juice box while you’re at it" Harry shouted after Liam while the older boy just flipped him off and kept on walking.

"So Zayn... oh" Harry said before he realize what Zayn was doing, "Umm whatcha drawing there" Harry asked awkwardly. Zayn showed him briefly before he continued drawing "Oh umm that's cool who is that" Harry said, interested in the drawing.

Zayn looked at him in a confused look "What?" Harry said, lifting one eyebrow up, "You don't know who Spider-Man is?" Zayn said in a low voice almost a whisper while looking at him incredulously. "Well yeah but..... WAIT you can talk" Harry said, shocked by Zayn’s sudden words and Zayn chuckled.

Niall and Liam return with their food in their hands and Harry looks at them both with a shocked expression. "What?" Liam and Niall said in sync "He just.... never mind" Harry said "You’re so confusing but here's your juice box" Liam said tossing Harry the juice.

Niall hurried and plopped down to eat And Liam did as well, Harry noticed Zayn looking at his unopened juice box " do you want it" Harry said pushing the juice box to Zayn, "Ummm...yes please." Zayn muttered quietly while taking the juice box from Harry. Niall choked on his coke and started to cough loudly and Liam just looked at Zayn dumbfoundedly

"He Said words, after all this time I was spending trying to get you to talk.... all it took was a juice box" Liam said, still shocked. Niall then patted Harry on the back and said "Good job mate".

After about 15 minutes of breakfast they all got back to their room "So your bed is across from Harry's" Liam said while pointing, and Zayn just silently nodded his head "Yeah because you are a late comer, so you don’t have the superior top bunks like me and Liam.” Niall bragged looking as proud as ever. Liam sighed and said “Sorry, Niall has the mental age of a 9 years old so you need to excuse him.”

"Heyy no I'm not"Niall says defensively while crossing his arms and pouting, "Ok Niall whatever helps you sleep at night" Liam says while walking to the bathroom and turning the shower on. Niall then jumps up to his bed laying there with headphones on.

Harry and Zayn just stands in the room awkwardly until Harry randomly says "So umm.... how old are you" about 5 seconds past before he replies "I'm 16" Zayn says while playing with his wrist looking at the ground. Harry then lets out a groan"Why is everyone older then me"he's says annoyed "Oh how old are you" Zayn says quietly.

"What do you mean how old am I" Harry snapped, " oh i thou-" Harry cuts him off " I just basically said that I'm the youngest, I can't be 14 cause that on the other side of the building" Harry spat out. Zayn just stands there scared and shaking, "so how old would that make me" Harry said softer, Zayns eyes starts to water up "I'm 15" Harry says then lays on his bed.

Harry then looks at Zayn from his bed and see that Zayn is standing in the middle of the room shaking and crying. "Oh Zayn I'm so sorry" Harry says apologetic, Harry gets up and slowly walkes to Zayn. " I'm really really sorry" He says again, But Zayn is still trembling in fear not saying anything.

Liam opens the bathroom door with a towel around his waist. "Who was yelling" Liam says while drying his hair with another towel. Nobody said anything, so Liam stopped drying his hair and put the towel down

Liam then walked to Zayn and Harry slowly, when Liam sees Zayn red and covered in tears, Liam looked at Harry with a confused look. "Harry what happened to Zayn" but Harry didn't answer, "HARRY WHAT HAPPENED TO ZAYN" Liam says again but much louder his voice boomed threw the room and spooked Harry.

"I-I-I yelled at him" Harry said softy, Liams eyes got Big "Why did you yell at him", "Because he irritated me" Harry said with his head down, Liam grabs zayn to try to get him to stop shaking, but it just gets worst. "HARRY GET OU-" But Liam was interrupted, not by Harry but by Zayn.

"Please stop yelling" Zayn said with his trembling hands over his ears shaking his head. "Please stop Please" he said again but shaking his head faster. Liam tried to grab Zayn to see if he was okay. But Zayn screamed "DON'T TOUCH ME" with tears streaming down his face. "Stop yelling please stop yelling" Zayn said, but they did stop yelling.

"NO DAD PLEASE STOP" Zayn yelled. Liam and Harry looked at eachother with worried eyes. Niall has woken up from the screaming. Then seconds later Zayn collapse, but Harry catches his head before it collides with the floor.
