الهجين القط (one direction fanfic)

chapter twelve

[Nialls POV]

We've been here a week or two now. Just me, Louis, Greg, Paul and Demi. Demi had joined us after two days of being here. Apparently there had been alot of people on her tail. Almost literally. Unlike me and Louis, or even Greg, she's one of the rarest hybrids. Even i can sense that. She's a.. I dont even know what her animal half is. Neither does she. her ears are pointed- more pointed than mine. Like mine, her tail is thin but even longer. Ironically, her furr is black. She has recently dyed her hair black. Now i see why. She said she could feel this building up.

"Zayn and Harry are visiting today!" Louis announces cheerfully, sitting next to me with a grin.

"Great!" I say, grinning just as wide.

Though, sometimes me and Louis dwell a bit too much. Neither of us are sure if we're actually in relationships, or what. I mean, Zayn and i have been closer. Kissing, hugging, having a laugh. But nothing is official. Turns out Larry isnt any more certain. I wish i knew. Demi keeps sending.. Those.. Messages. Im not ashamed to say that if Zayn says we arent dating today, ill take her up. I do like Zayn.. I think.. But i already know im certainly attracted to Demi and if Zayn isnt going to get in the way of that, then so be it. That sounds cruel, but i dont think Zayn actually likes me that way. He kissed me because i almost died. Thats all. Hes been growing more distant, which makes me certain it was a pity kiss.

"Here they are!" Demi announces happily.

She enjoys new company. Its rather adorable, to be honest. Her tail flicks around, her ears perk up and her nose twitches. Im taken off guard when her eyes suddenly meet mine, so is she as her face turns beet red and she quickly looks away.

Its difficult not feel successful right now.

"Hey Niall.." Zayn greets, stood in the doorway awkwardly. "Can we talk?"

"Sure." I agree, getting up. "I need to talk to you anyway."

His eyes finally look up to me, nodding. Cautiously, i follow after him. Its hard not to feel reassured when Demis tail gently flicks against my arm.

"Niall.." Zayn pauses, sighing. "Whatever we have has to end."

"Oh." Is all i can say.

When i shut the door, to give us privacy i knew it was bad but.. Suddenly i feel a bit empty, lost. With Louis and Demi i felt confident; myself. Now i feel alone. Very alone.

"Look, its not like we were together!" Zayn says desperatly. "We just had a few un-mattering kisses. It didnt mean anything."

"No, its fine.." I say quietly, not looking at him. Why do i suddenly feel like.. like this? "Well, uh, i was going to ask about it anyway. Its all been a bit confussing."

"Thats why im stopping this." Zayn says, sounding more comfortable. "But.. I wont be visiting. Itll be easier. So.. Uh.. Bye."

"Wait, what about Harry?" I ask worried, as Zayn pushes past me.

I follow out quickly, as he calls for Harry and heads out. Harry actually comes out, hurrying after him oddly.

"Wait!" I yell, running out. "Zayn, whats going on?"

"Im leaving." Zayn snaps, turning on me when i grab his sleeve. "Ive told you, i dont feel anything for you. None of it meant anything. I felt bad for you. Scared that youd fall back into depression. I thought i was helping."

"Zayn, just explain-" I begun.

"Get off!" Zayn snaps, pushing me. Literally pushing me.

So hard, i end up on my butt, looking up at him hurt. My freaking tail hurts now!

"Zayn!" I exclaim angrily.

"Will you back off now?" Zayn snaps, walking off while i rub my tail sourly.

They soon speed off. What the hell was that? Why would Harry speed off so willingly? He clings to Louis like a lost puppy.

"NIALL!" Demi shrieks from the cottage.

Leaping up, i follow. I hurry even more when Gregs yells join Demis.

"Whats- Louis!"

What the hell? Why does drama always happen to us?

"Wake him up!" I deman angrily. "Now!"

Looking offended, Greg gets water to pour over him. Why didnt he do that sooner? Why leave Louis laying on the floor unconcious? God, Greg, idiot.

Louis awakes with a gasp, looking around desperatly and gasping for air.

"Louis, calm down!" I say loudly, reluctantly grasping his damp shoulders. "Louis, look at me. What happened?"

"Ha-Harry" Louis gasps. "He.. Dumped.. Then.. Drugged.."

"He drugged you?" Greg exclaims angrily.

"After dumping you?" Demi says softer, sadly.

"Somethings wrong here." I direct to Louis, still grasping his shoulders. "Zayn dumped me. It cant be a coincidence."

Louis looked me in the eye, finally catching his breath. Internally, we had our agreement.

"Management."
