The man did as told, suddenly putting away all their weapons and congratulating us like we were some sort of heroes. I didn’t understand it, but I wasn’t one to complain. Louis leaned on me the entire way to the compound which wasn’t actually too far away. Guards were station carefully around the perimeter, and you could see the many precautions that were set up so the compound stayed secure. We were allowed entrance only to be met with groups of raggedy tents in clusters. Small dirty children ran around but stopped suddenly seeing the guards. Parents or older siblings hurried them inside small raggedy tents with holes in the material. People peeked out and watched us curiously, but hid as soon as a guard looked in their direction. The further into the compound we walked, the better the housing situations seemed to get and eventually we reached a place where there were brick type houses and office buildings that they had converted into homes. We were led into one of the larger buildings and into a room labeled 1D (sorry couldn’t think of anything else, I’m uncreative like that). We were lead inside and spotted four cots in each of the corners, two small desks in between each pair. There was a closet on the left of the door that we just walked in through and a large window that looked out onto a small garden with beautiful blue and purple flowers. Small, thin drapes hung from a rod above the window hanging limply on each side of it. The beds each had a thick enough blanket and a beat up pillow laying on it but it looked like heaven at the moment.
“This is your room, we’ll have a doctor come in and patch up your friend in just a minute. Why don’t you lot settle in? Supper is in an hour, you can’t miss it- with the bell sounding and all. You’ll have one day just to relax before we put you to work.” He explained fake cheeriness lacing his features. I rolled my eyes at the man and he took the hint, leaving us to our own devices.
“Why did you tell them where Niall was, Zayn? Why did you even mention him?” Liam questioned me, causing me to roll my eyes again.
“The prick deserves what’s coming to him. Just look at Lou’s leg for fucks sake, Liam! Besides if he cared so much for us he would have stuck around. He’s being selfish running away. He’s the cure for all of this, the only cure. Him, running away is cowardly! He should toughen up, stop being a chicken, and help make the cure!” I ranted angrily. I was not the one in the wrong here and I shouldn’t be the one getting yelled at either. I saw something flash through Liam’s eyes but thought nothing of it because it disappeared as soon as it came. There was a loud knock on the door as soon as Liam opened his mouth to retort, and then a grungy looking man walked in wearing a no longer white doctor’s coat. He carried an old leather bag with several random stains and tears on the once lovely material, and small metal points and tools stuck out from the opened top. I watched the man cautiously; he didn’t look like the type to be a doctor or anything but a convicted criminal. But I think everyone looks that way now, maybe he was a doctor before the virus hit and he’s just a little worse for wear now. Living through something like that would do that to a person. He walked closer to Louis, clear latex gloves adorning his hands and even from here I could see how dirty his hands were. Dark rings of dirt resided under each one of his nails, and it seemed his hand was permanently stained in the blotchy brown and yellow tint that littered his hands. When he opened his mouth, into what seemed to be a smile, his yellow stained teeth were on full display and I could see the black outlining his teeth resting right below his gums. When he smiled, a smile almost sinister, one word flashed into my mind: pirate. And not like the hot ones, oh no. The ones that were so dirty that they had a new species of fungus that grew on them; ones that were so disgusting and vile that not even the best shower in the world could remove a layer of their dirt; A pirate that you wouldn’t want to come across, lest he opens his mouth and you die just from the sight. That was what this doctor reminded me of. Nonetheless he cleaned off the wound, wrapping it securely in colorful gauze and left the room with the guard he had entered with. I smiled at the beautiful boy I called my own as he breathed softly, a soft expression on his face. I walked over to the cot, sliding in and sidling up next to the boy with beautiful blue eyes and wrapped my arms securely around his waist. And soon I drifted off to sleep with my boyfriend in my arms, not worried about the stares Liam was sending my way or the blonde that hurt my love.

I was going to add more but decided it would give too much away. SO you’ll just have to wait for the next chapter. Little bit of insight here, and in the next chapter I’ll have more of Niall’s POV.
DRAMA next chapter so look out!
Questions:
Who do you think is in the wrong here?
What does Liam see that no one else does?
Where is Harry and how is he feeling?
And biggest question of the chapter:
