2: Have You Seen Him?
Sirens blared outside of Niall's bedroom that night.
"Code 684, missing teenager, Code684, missing teenager..."
The entire night police ventured out to search for him.
The net morning when Niall woke up his mother was on the phone.
"This is the third time I've gotten this call and I've told you three times I don't know where Zayn is nor do I care! Goodbye!"
Niall's mum slammed the phone on the table.
"Mum..." Niall groaned walking in the room while rubbing his eyes, "Who was that?"
"The police..." his mum sighed, "That obnoxious Zayn boy is missing. Maybe it's a good thing."
"Wait..." Niall ran up to the counter, "What?! When did he go missing?!"
"Last night...his drunk-ass parents reported it as running away. Blimey, who knows what his parents were up to."
"Drunk?!" Niall said trying to take all this new information in.
"Yes, they were arrested soon after, accused of child abuse."
"Child abuse...?" Niall squeaked.
"Niall dear don't worry he's not our problem!"
Niall stood back and stared at his mum.
"I've always hated your personality y'know? Not you, just your personality, and your opinions!"
Niall slammed the door to his house and ran away from his house, not caring that he was only in his pajamas.
~Louis~
"Hey loves..." Harry said sitting down and smiling at two girls.
"Ick..." Louis mumbled walking away. You could probably tell that Louis was gay, and in love with Harry. But he was much more busy with calling every girl he sees 'The One'. Louis was quite relieved when his cell phone rang and he could exit the room.
"Hello?" he said.
"Louis Zayn's gone." Louis' friend Niall said.
"Wait...what?!" Louis said, "Harry get OVER HERE!"
"I'm coming..." Harry mumbled.
"Well come faster!" Louis said.
"I'm sorry Lou, I thought she was the one..." Harry smiled, "Tara..."
"Yeah like the other 15 girls you met..." Louis muttered, "Anyway, Zayn's gone missing..."
"Oh god I'll tell the girls I have to go." Harry said.
"Niall he has no idea how much I love him..." he whispered in the phone once Harry had left.
~Niall~
"Gotta find Zayn..." Niall whispered whipping out his phone and dialing Louis.
"Please pick up..." Niall pleaded listening to the dial tone.
"Hello?" Louis picked up on the 5th ring.
"Louis Zayn's gone." Niall said in a rush.
"Wait...what?!" Louis said, "Harry get OVER HERE!"
"I'm coming..." Harry mumbled over the phone.
Niall rolled his eyes at Harry's behavior. Harry had been pretty distant since he discovered girls, and sex. Niall and Louis were both bisexual, so they hated Harry going on and on about how sexy certain girls were.
And anyway, Niall was in love with Zayn.
And, Louis was in love with Harry who sadly, didn't feel the same way.
Not like he would know.
"Niall he has no idea how much I love him..." Louis whispered.
"Eh, don't worry Lou, who knows? Maybe he'll come around."
"Aha no he won't." Louis sighed, "He's too into...girls..."
Niall chuckled at Louis' gagging sound.
"Just get him and meet me at my house." Niall said.
"We should go to mine..." Louis suggested.
"Right, my mom's a homophobic..." I muttered.
"Have you told her yet?" Louis asked.
"No! And she won't be happy to know who I like..." Niall groaned.
"Why do your parents hate Zayn so much?" Louis asked.
"Look, can we worry about Zayn here?!" Niall said trying to bring Louis back to the main problem.
"Sorry, I'll get Harry and you come to my house, and we'll try to find him."
"Alright..." Niall said. Tears were falling out of his eyes quickly. He was worried for his friend.
"Niall I can tell you're crying. We'll find Zayn I promise."
"Okay Louis...bye..." Niall hung up the phone and sighed.
He didn't know what he was going to do without Zayn.
~Zayn~
*FIVE MONTHS LATER*
"Who's up next?!"
Two people got up and ran out of the locker room. Zayn sighed and rubbed his face with his towel that was around his torso.
"Malik, you ready for the next round?" the man asked.
Zayn sighed and nodded.
"You've only been here for awhile, and I know this is your first fight. But just remember why you came here; to channel all the anger out into that ring."
When the man walked away Zayn reached into his duffel bag and pulled out the key-chain that Niall bought him for his birthday. It had been five months since Zayn last saw his friends, Niall in particular. He missed them greatly, but he had to leave. This was where he belonged.
Somewhere where he could push all those aggravations away, and into his punches.
He ran his fingers over the plastic trinket and sighed clutching it tight in his hands.
"Yo Malik you're up." someone said walking in the locker room, "You'll be fighting another amateur. He's been here for about a year. You cool with that?"
Zayn nodded and put his gauze on over his hands.
"Let's go." he said walking out the locker room, putting the key-chain in his pocket. When they approached the ring Zayn slipped his mouth guard in his mouth and brought his hands up into a defense stance.
"On the left side...we have...Zayn Malik!"
Hearing his name being called was like being called to suicide.
Which is what he hoped he got from this.
Death.
And closure.
Once they announced his opponent Zayn climbed under the rope to begin the match.
"On three...one...two..."
Zayn's breathing was heavy but he was determined.
"Three..."
~Niall~
*7 MONTHS LATER*
Zayn had been fighting for a long time now and Niall had no idea. He thought Zayn was dead, just like the rest of the town. It had been a year and most people were loosing hope. Niall was especially upset because when Zayn's 14th birthday came around the memories of his last birthday came flooding back. The key-chain he bought him, the way Zayn looked at him; It was probably the best day for Niall because he felt his first connection with Zayn. Then he just...disappeared.
"Ni...you haven't gone to school in a month. Dude this is bad." Louis said, "Come on..."
"Hey babe..." Harry smiled on the phone, "No I miss you more...no! You!"
Louis grabbed the phone and threw it across the room.
"WOULD YOU PAY ATTENTION FOR ONE FREAKING MINUTE!" Louis screamed.
"Whoa calm down!" Harry said standing up, "Every time I'm talking to Tara you seem to get totally pissed!"
"BECAUSE...because...b-because..."
Niall could see Louis breaking down slowly. He sat down on Niall's bed and flopped down next to him.
"B-Because..." Louis was still mumbling that word while he tried to sort out his thoughts.
"Because what?!" Harry shouted, "Because you're jealous of me?! Because I can get a girl and you can't?!"
Louis sat up and stared at Harry hurt. He couldn't believe his own friend would say that about him.
"I am jealous." Louis said, "But not of you. Of all your girlfriends."
Louis got up and left the room, slamming the door.
Harry glanced at the door and back at Niall.
"How long has he...been...that?" Harry asked.
"It's not 'that'." Niall stated, "It's bisexual. And it's been for awhile now. While you've been with girls, Louis and I figured out we're bisexual. We've had our interests with girls, but...I've grown to fall in love with Zayn..."
"Wait you like Zayn?!" Harry exclaimed.
"Why do you think I'm not taking his disappearance that easy?!" Niall said glaring at him. He pulled the sheets a bit higher over his body.
"Anyway, Louis came to love you."
"Louis...aw shit why didn't you tell me before?!" Harry groaned, "Do you know how long I've loved HIM?!"
"Wait...you do?" Niall said.
"I kept going out with girls because I had to get my mind off of him!" Harry whispered, "He drives me insane...every time he walks he turns me on."
"You're only thirteen dude chill," Niall chuckled, "Well I guess you'll have to tell Louis now..."
"No! He's so pissed right now who knows what he'll do to me." Harry said.
Niall smiled and rubbed Harry's shoulder in sympathy.
Sirens rang from the other side of town. Niall and Harry turned to face the window, and saw two ambulances driving by quickly.
"Who is that?" Niall asked.
"I dunno..." Harry mumbled.
"I'll tell you who! It's Zayn!" Louis said running inside, "I just got a call from the police! There is this place in downtown London that kids with abusive parents would go to, live, and fight. Zayn got a letter to go there and ran away. He was just fighting awhile ago, and he got injured, badly. The police found the place and arrested the owner, and all the kids are going back to their families, but he's going to be an orphan."
"So that means that he'll be in a home?" Niall asked.
"Yeah, and he's going to the hospital. He has a broken ribcage, ankle, and arm."
"Ribcage?!" Niall said shooting out of his bed, "We have to go see him NOW."
"Wait, the cops told you all of that?!" Harry asked.
"Yeah now let's GO."
"I'll drive!" Harry said running out of the room. Niall pulled on his jacket and ran out the door following Louis and Harry.
