Hide and Seek (ZARRY AU)

PROLOGUE

"Come back here, Malik!" Zayn ran and ran until he made a turn a corner at the street. He's being chased by one of the football jocks at the other school.

Zayn was with his buddies at the cafe when they bumped into their school rival. Louis, Zayn's best friend talks a lot and when he strike a nerve at one of the jocks, they began a riot. And now, Zayn's running fast, getting away from them. He doesn't know what happened to Louis and Liam—his other best friend. They got separated when every thing went downhill from the cafe. As Zayn was about to make another turn, he gasped, it's a dead end.

"Well.....well" Zayn turned around and saw the blonde guy with blue eyes smirking at him and crackling his fist "Isn't this the right timing huh, Malik?" Zayn made a step back as the blonde guy lunged at Zayn, hitting him on his stomach. Zayn curled his body and coughed as he landed on the ground. The blonde guy step aside as the others started to kicked him everywhere on his body. Zayn grunts, covering his head as they keep on kicking and punching him and Zayn blacked out after that.

Harry just got out from the public library.

He just finished his reading for the day and he's exhausted. He wanted to go home and get some good food and rest. He needed his soft bed. He tucked his book on his chest as he crossed his arms and started to walk. He was listening from his earphone when a number of guys came running towards him. Harry stilled as his heart beat fast. What the hell?!

Harry saw the guys came from the alley. And thank God, they just past by Harry. Harry looked at them as they made another turn, out of Harry's sight.

Harry then slowly walked towards the alley and took a peek. The alley is kind of Dark and its not a place to be in the first place. But Harry's instincts are telling him to go further inside and so Harry did. He slowly walked inside the alley, he's battling with himself if he's doing the right thing "Harry, what are you doing?" Harry whispered to himself as he keeps on walking and when he saw a dead end, he stopped. He was about to go back when he heard a moan. Harry stopped his pace as he turned around, as he heard another moan. Harry walked towards the wall and behind the garbage can, Harry saw a helpless boy.

Harry's green eyes widened "What happened to you?" Harry said as he crouched down and helped the boy that looks like his age. Harry grabbed his wrist and his back as he gently pulled the boy up on his back and made him leaned on the wall.

The boy's face is all swollen and he has blood on his cheeks and lips "I'm gonna call some help okay?" Harry said as the boy is now breathing heavily. Harry fetched his phone and dialed 911 "911 what's your emergency?"

"Yes, I need an ambulance at Bleecker St"

"Okay Calm down Sir, can you tell me your name?"

"Harry. Harry Styles. I saw a boy and he's bleeding and Needs to be taken to a hospital"

"Calm down Harry, I got you. Dispatch is on its way with the ambulance. Look after your friend okay? Put something to stop your friend from bleeding okay?"

"He's not really bleeding but there's blood on his head—"

"Just wipe something to get the blood off okay? Help is on its way"

"Okay thank you" Harry responded as Harry put his phone on his pocket. Harry grabbed his handkerchief and wiped the boys blood on his face. Harry wasn't sure why he's doing this, helping the boy. If those guys didn't bumped at him, he wouldn't have ended up here. After minutes, Harry can heard sirens. Harry stood and stepped a little farther away from trash scan as he wave his hands. He saw some policeman and paramedics "Over here!" Harry called out as they approached. Harry stepped aside as the police and paramedics tend to the boy.

"What happened here?" A police officer asked Harry "I only found him like this Sir" Harry answered as he looked at the boy who's now being put into the stretcher "You can come with him to the hospital" the police said as Harry nodded. He didn't know why he nodded. He just wanted to make sure that the boy will be okay.

At the hospital, Harry is waiting outside the ward. He got the boys backpack and Harry's containing himself not to open the bag. But Harry did anyway since he's curious of the boy. He opened it and saw a binder, a ball pen and a cigarette case, so this guy smokes. Harry grabbed his binder and opened it, hoping to find a name. He flip through the pages and looked at his hand writing, huh, Harry somehow can't understand his penmanship. Harry looked at the end of the binder and saw a name scribbled all over the page "Zayn" Harry mumbled.

The door from the ward opened as Harry immediately put back Zayn's binder from his bag and stood "Are you one of the patient's folks?" A woman who wears a white lab coat and has a stethoscope hanging on her neck asked as Harry nodded "I'm Dr. Suzanne and your friend, He's stable now. We already patched up his bruise" The doctor said as Harry nodded "Did the nurse already gave you the information sheet?" She asked as Harry nodded "Fill em up and give it to the counter okay?" Harry nodded and thanked the Doctor.

Harry sat back at the bench and look at the sheet, how will he fill this up? He doesn't even know the boy. Except for his first name.

Or is his name really Zayn?
