Niall's Pov:
How can someone hate so much? It's hard to believe we live in a world where people can be so cruel. I knew the gang was nothing but trouble, It'd bring nothing but trouble, And I was right, It did. I don't know the full story, Whenever I ask Liam and Louis tell me not to worry, That it dosen't matter, But it does. Whoever set fire to our home destroyed all the happy memories I had there. Pictures of our parents went up in smoke, Everything was taken, It was like losing them both all over again. I couldn't do anything, All I could do was stand there and watch everything burn to the ground. I'm angry, I'm angry at Louis and Liam, If they wern't involved in the gang that wouldn't have happened. We wouldn't be left with nothing. We had no where to go, No other relatives who lived close enough, Zayn offered us a place to stay at his home. According to him it's the safest place to be, I doubt that.
We've been here for a week and I haven't left the house once. There's always someone watching me, Telling me where I can and can't go. This place dosen't make me feel safe, It makes me feel like I'm in a prison. I wanna go out, But I'm not aloud. Louis and Liam they know I'll go home, They know I'll go back to the house. I sighed as I laid back on the bed in my new room. Don't get me wrong the rooms nice, The beds comfy, And I'm grateful to Zayn for taking us in, But this isin't home. After a few moments of just laying there, Staring up at the ceiling I decided I couldn't take it anymore, I wanna go out. I quickly stood up from the bed and grabbed hold of my jacket, I then opened the bedroom door and began making my way down the stairs.
"Where you off to?" Danny asked as I approached the frontdoor.
"Going out for a walk?" I replied, Danny shook his head.
"You can't do that Niall" He said, I rolled my eyes.
"Why not? I've been stuck here for a week and I wanna go outside, You can't even stop me, This isn't prison" I stated.
"Louis and Liam told us to keep you here and to watch you" Danny informed me.
"And I'm not a little kid anymore I don't need looking after!" I spat. "Look, I saw my childhood home burn to the ground with all the memories of my family inside it, Now I'm being kept here like some kind of hostage, I want some breathing space is that to much to ask?!" I exclaimed, Danny sighed.
"I'm sorry Niall but your not going anywhere" Danny said, Just then the frontdoor opened and Zayn walked in, He examined the both of us for a moment before speaking.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"I'm being held here against my will apart from that fuck all!" I stated before turning around and walking straight back up the stairs, I stomped all the way up to my room and slammed the door closed.
"Niall can I come in?" Zayn asked as he knocked softly on the door.
"Its your house" I replied, Moments later the bedroom door opened and Zayn walked into the room.
"Yeah but it's your bedroom can't come in without asking" Zayn said with a warm smile, I rolled my eyes.
"This isn't my bedroom though, Is it?" I mumbled, Zayn sighed before sitting beside me on the bed.
"It's your bedroom for as long as you want it to be" Zayn stated, I looked over at him and chuckled slightly.
"You make it sound like this is home" I said.
"It is home right now" Zayn replied, I shook my head.
"Then why am I being treated like a prisoner? I haven't left this house since I got here a week ago" I stated.
"I won't lie to you Niall, We crossed some bad people. We don't know if the people who burnt your home down are gonna come back for more, Or if it's over for them, Until we find out who done it your safer here" Zayn informed me.
"And how you finding out who done it? Picking names out a hat?" I said sarcastically, Zayn chuckled.
"Your just like your dad" Zayn said before standing up, He then grabbed hold of my jacket and threw it towards me. "You gonna come for a walk or not?" He asked with a cheeky smile.
"Thought I was safer here?" I questioned.
"You are, But I'm with you so nothings gonna happen to you" Zayn said as he walked towards the door. "You coming?" He asked, I quickly pulled on the jacket and nodded my head, I then followed Zayn out the bedroom. "Danny!" Danny exited the kitchen. "If Lou and Li ask I've taken Niall out for some food" Zayn said, Danny nodded his head and Zayn signalled for me to follow him out the door.
"Zayn, What you said about me being just like my dad, What did you mean?" I asked as Zayn and I walked down the streets.
"Your stubborn just like he was, But your hearts in the right place, Just like his was. I learnt alot from him, He was a great man" Zayn said, I looked down.
"For a while after he died I hated him, I hated him for what he did, What he put us through" I mumbled, Zayn placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Everything he did was for you guys, He loved you all. I know you don't agree with what he did, And the things he done, But everything he did was for his family. Sometimes we don't always have a choice, Sometimes we have to do things we never thought we would" Zayn said, I looked up at him.
"Do you? Do things you never thought you would?" I asked, Zayn sighed.
"Since the day I was born there was an expectation of me. People knew what I'd become before I'd even been potty trained. This life it's the only one I know, It's all I've ever known, I was raised around all the fighting and the drama, Taking over from my dad is what everyone knew I'd do" Zayn explained.
"What about what you wanted to do?" I questioned, Zayn looked at me with a weak smile.
"What I wanted didn't matter" Zayn sat down on a bench. "I love my family, I've always loved my family. Before I knew about any of this I used to spend hours with my mum, Just helping her, Taking care of my sisters" Zayn chuckled. "I remember when I was ten, I was at school one day and a teacher turned around and said to me, Zayn what do you wanna be when you grow up? I said a dad" Zayn smiled. "Then this life came along what I wanted didn't matter anymore, What mattered was being the person everyone knew I'd be" He explained, I sighed.
"You know my mum always used to say, If you don't like something about your life change it, Nothing is concrete" I said, Zayn chuckled slightly.
"I wish it was that easy. Everyone knows who I am, Nothings ever gonna change what I am" He mumbled, I placed my hand on top of his.
"Your wrong" I whispered. "I used to think you were this asshole, I think I got you all wrong" I admitted, Zayn looked at me before smiling.
"Maybe there's hope after all"
Zayn and I walked and talked for what felt like hours. He was nothing like I thought. He was funny, Smart, Full of brilliant advice. Later that night I was laid out on the bed thinking of everything Zayn and I spoke about. The sound of someone softly knocking on my door snapped me from my thoughts, I quickly sat up on the bed.
"Come in" I said, Seconds later the door opened and Zayn walked in, He was holding a big envelope in his hands.
"I didn't wake you did I?" He asked, I shook my head.
"Nah, Louis and Liam ok?" I questioned.
"Both passed out on the couch. Listen I wanna say thanks for listening to me earlier" He said.
"No problem, Anytime" I replied, Zayn smiled.
"I erm, I know these can't replace the ones you lost but I thought you'd like to have them" Zayn stated before handing me the envelope, I raised my eyebrow and took it from his hands. I opened the envelope and inside were pictures of my parents, The moment I saw them my face lit up. "My mum and dad were at the wedding, It's all the pictures that were taken on the day" Zayn informed me, I flicked through the pictures before looking up at him.
"Thankyou" I exclaimed before throwing my arms around him, Zayn quickly returned the hug straight away.
"Your welcome" He whispered gently. We pulled away moments later and Zayn smiled warmly at me before standing up. "I better get going, Night Niall" Zayn stated as he walked to the bedroom door.
"Night Zayn" I replied as he closed the door, I think I had him all wrong.
