Chapter 37
Broke kids running through the city
Drunk on the subway train
Set free every time you kissed me
We couldn't feel no pain
You looked at me and I looked at you
Like we'd never look away
Broke kids running through the city
Don't let the memory fade
-Call you mine
Zayn and Harry sat in silence after that. Zayn didn't moved back to his laptop for some unknown reasons that only he knows . He sat beside Harry just looking at the blanket.
"It's boring ." Harry finally whined.
"What?" Zayn asked .
"Comfortable silence,it's so overrated. Don't make this awkward. Talk ." Harry said and Zayn looked at him with a confused look.
" I don't want to,you can talk ." Zayn said is a monotone.
"Why is it always me ? Why can't you talk ?" Harry asked.
"Cause I don't have time for useless gossiping ." Zayn said sharply.
"Then go away, I'll call Ashton,I don't need you ." Harry said as he tried to grab his mobile from the Bedside table.
But the problem was that he was far away from the Bedside table and he couldn't move his body without getting the hits of intense pain.
"Yeah sure." Zayn said smirking, he knew Harry couldn't reach the phone.
Harry tried to extend his hand without using his body but he couldn't reach it, he looked at Zayn who was smirking before he tried again,this time moving his body a little only to Whimper and fall on his side of bed.
"Shit. Shit." Zayn said as he quickly pulled Harry up again, Harry leaned on Zayn his head resting on Zayn's shoulder and he silently cried as the pain, started increasing.
"SH..it's fine. You are fine." Zayn said as he combed his fingers through Harry's curls trying to calm him down.
"I was 8 when my friend came to play with me, " Zayn started ,his voice soft and filled with something heavy and sweet. "He and I decided to race till the top of the stairs. We both started climbing and Reached exactly at the same time ,but he argued that he won. I was a short tempered person, I tried to bargain with him but then I lost it and pushed him down the stairs." Zayn chuckled as Harry gasped.
Harry had stopped crying in the middle of the story and was listening intently.
"You pushed him down ? What did you mom said ?" Harry asked not moving away from Zayn's arms .
"Nothing much, locked me the bathroom but then I locked myself in and they had to break the door go get me." Zayn said and Harry was sure Zayn was smiling, he wanted to see it. He wanted to see Zayn smiling, it was like those rare rainbows that filled you with colours.
But he didn't wanted to experience the pain or destroy this beautiful moment so he stayed still ,giggling a little.
"What about that child ?" Harry asked.
"Well, he somehow just got a scratch on his elbow ,lucky me." Zayn said and Harry smiled.
"You were a hard-to-handle type of child."Harry said .
" Yeah...I was a stubborn person. I want what I want, And I don't stop until I get it. Now tell me something about your childhood. " Zayn said playing with Harry's curls.
"I was raised in Cheshire, in a friendly and calm environment. I didn't liked to mess with other people much. I had a few reliable friends though, one of them was Ash. We both used to sneak out of the house at night to go on these walks. Once he told me about this witch who lives on old trees and catches anyone who walks under that tree. So as we were walking back towards my house ,we saw it,there was this girl sitting down on the pavement crying, " Harry said taking a breath and getting more comfortable. He was cold , Zayn noticed that and pulled the blanket over them.
"We being the gentleman we were ,went towards her and asked her why was she crying. But then she started laughing, like this really creepy laugh and when she looked up ,she didn't looked at us but at the sky . We both looked up and we were standing under a tree. I don't remember what happened after that,I just ran, I didn't knew if Ash was there are not I just ran till my house. " Harry sighed.
He didn't said anything after that for a few minutes and Zayn was sure he was asleep until Harry slightly looked up at him.
Before hiding his face in Zayn's chest again.
"Then ?" Zayn asked.
"I called my mom and all the neighbors, Ash was with me luckily and we took them their but there was no tree or girl. My mom didn't believed me at first,they all though it was a prank. But I had nightmares and high fever for 2 weeks and My mom finally believed that I was telling the truth.Ghost are real."
" No ,they are not." Zayn argued.
"I saw her !! How can you say that ?" Harry said with a pout.
"It was all an imagination due to the ghost story and night time." Zayn reasoned.
"But How can I and Ash have same Imagination?" Harry asked and Zayn sighed not knowing the answer.
"Yeah. What happened? Don't have an answer now ? " Harry teased.
"At least I'm not afraid of Ghost like you!" Zayn teased back.
"Really? You are not afraid of them ? They are scary and dead. " Harry shivered.
"What's your biggest fear ?" Zayn asked.
"Death."
"Death ? " Zayn asked confused.
"I mean it's dark." Harry said as if it was a universal fact and Zayn couldn't help but Chuckle.
"Hey! ," Harry whined "what's your biggest fear ?"
"Human beings. " Zayn replied.
"Human beings? " Harry asked confused.
"Hmm.." Zayn trailed off. Harry didn't said anything until Zayn continued, " Ghost, they are dead. And we know that we have to stay away from them,but humans are greedy,mean and selfish. They are scarier than any creature on this planet."
