[short, unedited, and not my best, sorry :( ]

Zayn was feeling many emotions at that moment- he didn't really know what, or why his older brother was doing this, all he knew was that Liam was hurt, and he damaged himself.

Zayn was already crying before, and he couldn't help but let out a small wail.

Liam had turned around by then, his eyes widening when he noticed the presence of his younger sibling. He quickly cleaned up, walking out the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

"Zayn?"

"Li hurt!?" Zayn gapes, running up to Liam.

"No, Zayn. I'm fine." Liam assures. He knew he was lying to his younger brother. And Zayn possibly knew that as well.

Zayn watches carefully, biting at his lip before replying, "tell daddy 'n papa-"

"No! Don't tell anyone, Zayn. Everything's okay. Alright?" Liam says, a bit too quickly.

Zayn shrugs, but nods. He hugs his brother's legs before running off.

.

"Daddy! Papa!" The little boy squeals, jumping onto his parents' bed.

"What's up, kiddo?" Niall chuckles, wrapping his arm around him, Harry joining in.

"Hurt, Daddy!" He squeaks, hiding his head on Niall's shoulder.

"You're hurt, baby?!" Harry gasps, quickly holding onto his 'hurt' son.

Zayn shakes his head, causing Harry to raise an eyebrow.

"Li hurt." Zayn answers, just like he did a few minutes ago.

"What do you mean, babe?" Niall questions. He couldn't help but worry about Zayn's information.

Zayn shrugs, playing with his small, short fingers, "see, daddies. Me see."

"Probably something he made up." Harry whispers to Niall, still holding his youngest son close, Niall shrugging.

"I guess so."

Harry smiles half-heartedly, tickling Zayn's sides, causing him to squeal and giggle.

Niall bites his lip but after seconds, he grins softly, enjoying the time with his son.

Liam sighed, shaking his head. He was laying on his bed, thinking about the scene that had just happened.

Why? Nothing goes his way, now does it? No, not ever.

Yes, his parents have changed, slightly. They were nicer, and at least talked to him.

But what he doesn't get; did he do something wrong?

He knows his papa has had a rough past, he gets it. But why does he have to take it all on him? Because he doesn't want him to leave.

It sounds silly. For everyone. Why would Harry make his son hate him if he wants him to stay? He almost laughed.

He just wants his family to be happy. The four of them, together. What went wrong? He doesn't know.

Just when Liam turned fifteen, on the second day after his birthday, it had all started. Yes, it's been year.

Liam should say he was used to it, but he kind of was.

He won't ever get used to the ignoring, the fault, the feeling of a nuisance, not worth it, having his family not be okay.

Maybe, one day, it will all turn out alright.
