Someone Like Me (Ziall)

Chapter 27

Zayn's P.O.V

"You call me all the way from America to help you and I don't get so much of a hello?" 

Dustin walks into the room, slipping his bag off his shoulder. He holds his hands out for me, I roll my eyes and walk into his hug. From the corner of my eye I watch as Liam looks him up and down, licking his lips. Interesting. 

I pull away first and introduce Dustin to the boys, they all shake his hand, Liam holding on a little longer then the rest. Dustin smiles and winks at him, causing Liam's face to turn bright red. 

I roll my eyes and cough awkwardly, ruining the moment. All heads in the room turn to me.

"Guys, when I was away.. I was in the care of Dustin's family. Dustin here is a CIA agent, and I had the honor of helping him with the shit he couldn't do alone." I tell them, my voice sounding sarcastic. Dustin rolls his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest.

"It wasn't that bad, you got paid a healthy amount." Dustin chuckles, "Now, tell me what brings me here." 

"We need you to trace a number for us." Liam speaks up, "Our friend Niall has been kidnapped."

"Niall?" Dustin turns to me. "The infamous Niall?" 

"Shut up, Dustin." 

"You're telling me you let your boyfriend get nabbed, already?" Dustin chuckles. "I thought you guys would be together for at least a month before your bad luck streak kicked in." 

I punch him in his shoulder, tossing a cold glare his way. He rolls his shoulders and cracks his knuckles, before pulling out his laptop. 

"Hand me your phone, Zayn." He holds his hand and I place my phone in his hand. He puts his glasses on and checks it over and sighs. "Dude, I just got this for you like four months ago, why is there a giant crack in the screen?" 

"He just threw it against the wall yesterday." Liam perks up again. 

"Liam, shut up." I turn to him pointing my finger in his direction. "I know your secret."

Liam blushes and stutters out. "W-wha-what secret!?" 

Harry and Louis chuckle and shake their heads before sitting on my couch. I smile at Liam evilly and nod towards Dustin, who is already tapping away on his computer. Liam blushes even darker and hustles over to the couch with the other boys. I stand over Dustin's shoulder, watching as he works.

I get impatient and start pacing the room, then I go out to my balcony and light up a fag. It feels like hours pass, until Harry comes out and sits on the bench next to me. 

"We will find him, Zayn." Harry says, trying to be reassuring. I grumble and turn to him.

"I know, but do you realize what they can be doing to him right this second?" I say, throwing my hands in the air. "Josh is there, he could be raping him! His father could be beating him, his brother could be standing there watching with a smile on his face, and who the hell knows what that Dawn bitch is doing! Niall just started getting over his insecurities and his past, and now this bullshit!" 

I didn't even realize tears were falling until Harry caught one with his finger. He pulls me into a tight hug and lets me cry into his shoulder. 

I need to find my Niall.

Niall's P.O.V

It feels like days pass as I stay in this cold, dark room. 

My father would visit me once in a while, using me as a swinging punching bag. Occasionally, Josh would watch, sometimes ever record. 

Josh would visit me alone sometimes, blindfolding me and raping me. He would whisper dirty things in my ear, like : "You can pretend I'm Zayn." "I bet Zayn isn't as big as I am." "Zayn can't make you react like this."
