Happy Fudging eighteenth birthday MAGS!!!!!
*53 days BeFoUr*
” A little to the left. Yes. Yes. No! That’s too left! Can you ever do something right?!” Rachel stomped on the ground resembling a toddler. Zayn sighed heavily. He was questioning everything in that second. From his pathetic existence to why he was standing on the uneven ladder trying his best to get the decorations on the wall as per Luna Rachel’s request. He didn’t know why he agreed to be her PA but she was known to be persuasive so it wasn’t really his fault. It wasn’t like he hadn’t ever helped in the preparations. In fact, he and Liam used to find ways to make the ball even better than the previous year. Granted, not everything they planned ended well but still it was fun.
A small smile flashed on his lips at that thought but it went away as soon as it came.
” Luna Rachel, maybe we should start from the other side and gradually get to this end.” He suggested.
” No, that’s just all wrong.” She groaned throwing her head back. Zayn wanted to roll his eyes. Since the last hour, everything Zayn did was ‘just all wrongggg‘. And even though he was quite a patient person, he was starting to lose it.
” But that end is a bit…” His right hand found his ear. ” reachable than this one. ” He pointed to the lower end of the front door. The full arch was actually a bit hard to decorate as he couldn’t quite reach the middle part.
Rachel placed his hand on her hip. She narrowed her eyes before giving him the meanest look possible.” Did I ask your fucking opinion? Just shut up and do what I say!” It didn’t really help that Luna hated him with a passion. Maybe that’s why she choose him to be his personal assistant. The dots were connecting in his head but he knew it was far too late to do something about it.
” Yes, Luna.” A heavy sigh escaped him as he turned to look at the arch of the door a good head above his own.
He was about to jump a little to reach up and get the flower chain attached to the tip of the half cylinder when he heard a familiar voice. ” Luna Rachel, I can do this part.” Harry. Zayn gave him a grateful smile wanting nothing to do with the cranky lady and the defective ladder.
But of course, it was too much to ask.
” Did I ask you to do it?” Rachel’s voice was contained but hinted annoyance. ” No. Zayn is going to do it.” The silver-haired lad frowned at that. What was that about? Harry was way taller than him and he was almost perfect for the job. Why wouldn’t she want his help?
” But that’s too high…” Harry started saying but was interrupted by the Luna raising her hand to silence him. Zayn saw an incredulous expression pass Harry’s features but he was able to school them before the lady could notice.
” Don’t you have things to do, beta Harry? Isn’t it time for my mate’s lunch?” She batted her eyelashes. Zayn wanted to pout but he couldn’t even do that.
Harry’s eyes flickered to Zayn and then to the space above his head.” It is but…”
” Beta Harry we’ll be alright you should go and check Alpha Liam.” There was a finality in her tone. Harry looked bummed but nonetheless he nodded his head.
” Okay.” Zayn gave him a little smile assuring him that it was okay and he appreciated that he tried to get him out of his misery. He was just unlucky and that was it.
” Now more to the right.” The urge to let his eyes roll back to the point they refused to come back was real but he was a good person and it was rude to roll his eyes at people. ” Just a little. Stop swaying.” She was just tempting him to murder her. He wasn’t swaying, the stupid ladder was.
He turned to look at her before saying. ” Can you please hold the ladder, Luna?” It was a long shot but he was desperate.
” What? No. I just got my nails done. Now stop whining and get to work.” She looked at him as if he had grown out another head. He sighed before turning to look at the wall that suddenly looked sinister. He almost accepted that he was going to fall and die at the hands of the stupid decorations but maybe he shouldn’t have been thinking that because that’s exactly what happened next.
He tried to stretch himself and reach the top of the door and when he was close enough his feet left the ladder which unsurprisingly collapsed leaving him in the air for the second or two. In those moments he wished he could fly and avoid what was coming for him but when the ground embraced him, he was too distracted by the pain to think anymore. Someone was screaming in pain but it wasn’t him. He hadn’t gotten to that point yet. All he could do was lay there motionless in the crippling pain the hugged him from the back.
” Oh, Lord! Zayn!” Harry leant down to get to his friend. He was almost up to the double stairs when he heard the crash and even before he got there, he knew what had happened. Rachel was screaming bloody murder while clutching her hand but what got him was that she was quite far away from where the ladder was laying. How had she gotten hurt?
” Zayn, Can you hear me?” Louis was there, in front of him. Zayn was conscious but very unresponsive. His eyes were glazed. His face scrunched up in pain.
” What happened?” Niall’s accent was stronger due to concern.
Harry didn’t know what to say for a second. He hadn’t even realised that there was a crowd gathered around them.” He fell.”
” What are you doing? Can’t you see I’m hurt? Take me to the infirmary.” Rachel’s piercing voice made a lot of heads turn. Harry wanted to tackle her and punch the daylights out of her. He had tried to avoid this but that witch wouldn’t let him. Only if she weren’t a girl and the Alpha’s mate, the consequences wouldn’t have been pretty.
” Yes, Luna. Get him to the infirmary.” Louis directed Niall, who scooped Zayn up in his arms but not without a slight whimper from the smaller lad. ” You should go Liam’s looking for you.” Harry nodded at his mate before getting up. In a daze, he walked up the stairs and towards the Alpha’s room. He was relying on his feet to do the work because his head wasn’t in the best place at the moment.
He didn’t bother to knock.” Sorry, Alpha Liam.” His words were sluggish and detached.
Liam gave him a slightly irritated look, his hand thumping on his lower back.” Where were you?”
” Um…I was…Zayn he fell…” That was all Harry could say. He came back to his senses a little as Liam’s eyes widened and his face paled.
” He what? Zayn?” He tried to confirm. Harry knew that Liam and Zayn had a little history but the details were still unknown to him. The concern on Liam’s face made him curious for a second.
But then he remembered about the current situation.” Yes, he fell. Luna was making him…”
” Is he okay?” Liam’s tone was urgent. Suddenly it felt like Harry wasn’t supposed to see it. This side of Liam that held sheer concern. It felt personal. Harry was about to tell him that he doesn’t know but the Alpha prince was already out of the door and running towards the infirmary. Harry followed him.
When they reached the infirmary the pack doctor, Dr Daniel was standing there.
” Alpha Liam, Luckily you’re mate isn’t…” He started to say when the brunette was close enough to him.
” No… How’s Zayn?” Liam was panting. Harry was too. The doctor gave him an odd look before starting to speak again.
” He…He is hurt. I mean the fall was harsh and I can see a bit of swelling but nothing is broken, thankfully.” Harry saw as a very noticeable wosh of air passed Liam’s lips. The alpha prince leant down and clutched his knees, trying to restore his breath.
After a few seconds, he came back up and Harry thought he was going to ask about his mate but that didn’t happen.” Can I see him?”
” Yes…They’re in…” And then they were rushing again to get to the emergency room. Liam was the first one that went in and by the way, his body tightened, Harry knew that what he was about to see couldn’t be that good. And it wasn’t.
Zayn was curled up on his side, looking even smaller and fragile. His face was pale and there was an IV sticking out of his thin arm. Probably for pain, he thought. Rachel was at the other side of the room, her lips turning into a bright smile when she saw Liam.
But it went away when the alpha prince completely ignored her and walked up to his former friend. He let his hand pass through the silver hair, a dreamy expression on his face. ” Are you okay?” There were quite a few people in the room and almost all of them were looking at the interaction between the former friends.
Zayn tilted up his head before mumbling out.” I’m sorry, Alpha Liam. I hurt Luna, I’m sorry.” Harry watched as Liam’s hand stopped in Zayn’s hair, his body going stoic in seconds. And then they were just looking at each other, emotions thick in the air that surrounded them. Harry averted his gaze to his mate who was looking at the pair with a knowing look on his face. He was sure that Louis knew something that nobody else did and he just had to get it out of him.
” Liam!” And the moment was broken by the devils incarnate herself. The future prince snapped out of the amber eyes and looked over to his screaming mate. Slowly, he retracted his hand away from Zayn’s hair before moving to the bed on the far corner. Harry moved with him.
” Rachel?” His tone was far away, his eyes glazed over.
” I am hurt! Can’t you feel it!? Can’t you feel my pain?!” She screamed making Harry cringe while not even affecting her mate in the slightest.
” Is it your back?” It came out as a whisper as he placed his hand on his back as if it was hurting him. Harry frowned at that. Luna Rachel didn’t hurt her back. He couldn’t say for sure because he wasn’t there but she was holding her hand, not her back. Harry watched as something changed in her expressions.
” Yes, Now take me to my room.” The words were rushed. Liam sighed before taking her in his arms and walking towards the door.
“I’m sorry Luna Rachel. I’m sorry Li…Alpha. I’m really sorry.” Harry’s heart broke a little as Zayn pleaded in his broken voice. Liam’s steps faltered but he didn’t stop to spare Zayn a glance. As Liam walked out of the door, the youngest of the pack curved more into himself as if trying to disappear.
Harry didn’t know what was happening around him but he was certain that there was something they were all missing.
Something way too important.

*That Day*
Zayn chuckled as he remembered that day.
” What you laughing at?” He shut the journal abruptly as his mother made her way towards him.
” Nothing.” He lied trying to hide the brown notebook under his blanket but his mother had already caught him and it was of no use.
” Is that Liam’s journal?” She sat down at the edge of his bed taking the journal out of his hands as gently as possible. Coincidently the same entry opened up and Zayn was ready for a scolding session about how he needs to get the attachment out of his head and focus on getting better. However, nothing of that sorts happened. Infact quite the opposite. She laughed out loud and Zayn’s heart warmed.
” I remember that. You guys were such trouble makers.” Zayn laughed at that. It was true. They used to turn the entire pack house upside down while finding some ‘hidden treasure chest’. ” You know what let me get some soup for us and then you could read some parts of it to me. I want to see if I remember all of it.” Zayn merely nodded at that.
As she left the room he though to himself, maybe they had finally realized that the only way he could go back to being his happy self was with Liam.
But was it too late? He didn’t know.

Okay ideky but ziall was the only thing on my mind when I heard this town. I need to get myself checked. And if the journal is too blurry I’m sorry my mum took my phone and my tab has the worst camera ever. If it’s unreadable tell me and I’ll try to fix it.
This update is in the honour of my best friend Maggie’s eighteenth birthday. She’s craziestfangirl98 here on wattpad…
You know how much I love you Maggie! Okay, I literally don’t know where to start. I mean there’s just too much to say. I thought I had had enough of friends and people before I met you. Life was either black or white, mostly black tho. But then you came around and there were all these colours that surrounded me and I admit at first I didn’t know how to react to that and I was kinda overwhelmed. But then you showed me a part of life that wasn’t miserable and I just couldn’t get enough of it. You always say I keep you grounded and that my voice calms you down. Well just the simple thought of you keeps me sane. I swear whenever it’s going down I just think of what I’d want you to do and it just gets better. You’ve been keeping me afloat the last six months and I love you for everything that you’ve done for me. Six months doesn’t seem that much but it feels like I’ve known you forever. I call us soul twins because I haven’t came across a person who had such an understanding with me. You always know what I’m feeling and you’ve got all the right words to say and this is just a little part off the things that my heart holds for you. I love you Maggie!
Anyways Tell me what did you guys thought about the update and what do you think is going to happen next?
