Zayn Malik, dead for 2 days, wakes up in a morgue with a gunshot in his chest. Unable to remember his broken past, he decides to start over working in a bakery with Harry Styles, who's the wisest person and the most horrible joke teller he's ever met.
2 weeks after meeting Harry, his now flatmate, he starts to see things Harry can't see. He starts to see people Harry can't. After his "imaginary friends" lead to the accidental solving of a murder, Zayn and Harry land a job in the FBI where they meet Justin, an agent with OCD that leads to solving crimes, Niall, a supposedly psychic crime solver, Louis who has a gift for reading people, and Liam, who has an IQ of 184. And they all seem to know a little too much about Zayn's past.
But when a serial killer begins to stalk them all, more ghost arrive, less secrets are shared and more are discovered. And Zayn's protectiveness over Liam might just get him killed (, or maybe already did).
NIALL: What in the world just happened? I choked at seeing this girl? And did a spit take when I actually got a good look at her? What the hell is wrong with me?
LOUIS: I turn around because I'm sure that would have made Summer laugh. But she remains silent. Her hands are still doing something with my phone and the stereo. Her face is blank looking at Niall with her eyes slightly squinted. That's weird. Summer has laughed almost every time one of us does something funny.
ZAYN: "But you're One Direction." I hear her mumble. She sighs.
"And that matters because?" She doesn't need to be so insecure around us. She just needs to be herself. I know that's what Niall likes.
She turns around, giving me a look and with her hands on her hips. "Do I need to explain it to you?" She says sassily. Then she giggles turning back around.
HARRY: "Where do you want to go?" The way her American accent blends in with her awkwardness and sassiness is attractive. And it's also funny because Niall hasn't taken his eyes off her the whole time.
Mission accepted. Niall and Summer.
LIAM: I look at him with a smirk on my face. He furrows his eyebrows at me. "What?"
"Summer will be here soon and with all of us busy with our interviews. I thought Niall could occupy her." Zayn squints his eyes at me and comes right up in my face. "What?" I back up laughing a bit.
He backs off. "You're quite the mastermind." He gives me a nod of approval.
SUMMER: Man, how are we living in a world where a normal teenage girl can't fangirl anytime and anywhere? This sucks.
Please forgive the minor bad fanfic moments, such as where they meet, falling in love in a short period of time, and a couple of small character cliches.
