I had long forgiven Zayn after the first voice mail. I turned my phone off for the week and only turned it back on to call Harry. What happened next seemed like a blur. My mum was driving my home and i had gotten a call from Louis. I let it go to voice mail and that was going to be on the of the biggest mistakes I ever made. I was now in the same hospital room with Louis and Zayn’s parents. It was silent besides the silent chatter of his parents. Louis informed me when I got here that it was his third day like this and should be waking up soon.
“I’m sorry for causing this Lou.” I whispered.
He didn’t even have to tell me, I knew it was my fault, I caused this. Louis rubbed his eyes, showing he was tired and glanced over at me.
“It’s not your fault.” he mumbled.
I could tell by the look in his eyes he was blaming himself too.
“Louis its not your fault either.” I assured him.
He smiled weakly at me, but I could still sense the doubt he had. His head drooped and began to bob, as he fell asleep. A few seconds later his head jolted up and he began to palm his eyes.
“Lou, go to sleep and I’ll call Harry to come pick you up.”
Lou just nodded weakly and rested his head on my shoulder. I pulled out my phone and dialed Harry’s number.
“Hey Li.” Harry said excitedly.
“Hey Haz.” I whispered.
“Why are you whispering?” he whispered mockingly.
“Can you come pick up Lou from the hospital?” I asked.
“The hospital?!” Harry shouted.
“Yes, the hospital.” I cringed.
“Why is Louis in the hospital?” He asked worriedly.
“For Zayn, he was admitted three days ago?”
“Fuck.” Harry cursed.
That was the last thing I heard before he hung up. I adjusted Louis head to where I could hold Zayn’s hand and still have his head sitting comfortably on my shoulder. I squeezed his hand and stared at his face. It now had more color then when I first arrived and for that I was grateful, I took it as a sign that he was getting better and closer to waking up.
Zayn’s father cleared his throat and nodded towards me and his mum gave me a tight lipped smile as they left the hospital room. They probably left to get some food, they’ve been here longer than I have and this is the first time I’ve seen them leave.
“You’re too gorgeous to be looking like that.” a groggy voice mumbled.
Tears spring to my eyes as I glanced at my beautiful boyfriend lying on the hospital bed.
“I could say the same for you.” I whispered.
“How long have I been in here?” He asked as he sat up in his bed.
“From what Lou has told me, three days.” I answered him.
“Also you might want to call a doctor in here, so they know you’re awake.” I added.
“I will, but first can I have a kiss?” he asked.

The doctors checked Zayn and said he had to stay one more night just to make sure nothing else went wrong. Louis woke up a bit after Zayn and almost squished him to death with a hug and Harry joined, making sure to stay a little bit before taking Louis and leaving.
“I’m sorry.” I muttered after awhile.
“Hey.” Zayn said softly, taking my hand.
“It wasn’t your fault at all. Things happened between us and I obviously did not handle what happened very well. I can assure you it was not your fault.” he said rubbing his thumb across my knuckles.
“So how are you feeling?” I asked.
“Well, since I’ve eaten like ten times better. Seeing your face has also increased how I feel a significant amount as well.” Zayn said with a wink.
I blushed and kissed his cheek. He had finally changed back into some clothes that his parents got from his apartment when they figured out. They said that Zayn should come home and stay with them for awhile, but Zayn denied saying he already has enough Uni work to makeup and that he couldn’t leave Louis unsupervised.
“Liam, I really love you.” Zayn sleepily said.
I smiled.
“I love you too Zayn.”
*H a r r y*
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked quietly.
“Well the last time we talked you told me to leave for sticking up for my friend, so I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.” Louis replied.
“Louis, of course it was a big deal, you know I care for Zayn too!” I shouted.
“You didn’t seem like it when you were insulting him.” Louis scoffed.
I sighed and continued to drive to my house.
“I’m sorry Lou.”
He leaned over and kissed my cheek.
“Lets just go home, so I can take a nap.” He muttered.
“Lou, babe we’re already in the driveway.” I chuckled.
“Oh.” he mumbled, his cheeks turning red.
We both got out of the car and I unlocked the door.
“C’mon Lou.” I said gently.
I took his hand and led him down the hall. He crawled into bed and kicked off his shoes. I kissed his forehead and went back out into the living room. I picked up my phone and was about to dial for pizza when Niall’s name appeared on the screen.
“Hey.”
“Listen, Haz I need a huge favor.” Niall’s tired voice said.
“And that would be?” I asked.
“I need to stay at your house for a couple of weeks.” he mumbled.
“Yeah sure, is everything okay?” I asked.
“I’ll explain when I get there. My plane leaves next Monday.”
“Are you sure you’re okay Niall?” I asked again.
I heard him sniffle and loud rustling.
“I’ll be fine.” he answered.
I kept him on the line making sure to distract him from whatever was wrong, I even got him to laugh a bit. Louis stumbled out of the room a bit after the conversation with Niall was done and demanded we get food.
“What kind of food do you want babe?” I asked.
“Can you make me a grilled cheese?” he asked.
“One or two?” I asked getting up from the couch and heading towards the kitchen.
“Two and don’t forget to make some for yourself.” he shouted.
I got out all the ingredients and put the stick of butter in the microwave so it could soften. I got out a pan and put some of the softened butter in it. Once it was hot enough I put his sandwiches in the pan.
“We should go hang out with Zayn and Liam tomorrow.” Louis called from the living room.
“Yeah, maybe a beach day?” I asked.
“I’ll text Liam and ask.” Louis said.
I flipped his sandwiches and noticed it was pretty burnt on one side, so I knew they would be done soon.
“Liam said he would ask his doctor if it would be okay for Zayn.”
I turned off the stove and put the grilled cheeses on a plate.
“Here ya go.” I said, handing him the plate and laying my feet across his lap as I stretched out.
“I knew there was a reason I kept you around.” Louis mumbled with a mouth full of food.
I rolled my eyes and he smiled sweetly at me.
*L i a m*
“I wanted to apologize to you.” Mrs. Malik said as she sat down next to me.
“W-what?” I asked.
“The way I acted towards you, when we first met, I was horrible. I’m very protective over all of my children, Zayn especially. He went through a lot of relationship issues when he was younger and I guess I didn’t want my poor boy to go through anymore heartbreak. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I’m sorry Liam, you make my boy happy and I don’t know why I couldn’t just let you guys be.” she explained.
“Mrs. Malik, I could never imagine hurting your son, I love him to death. It seems I did just a bit though by overreacting to what happened between us. It honestly kills me to see him sitting in this hospital bed.” I mumbled.
“That makes two of us honey. I’m just glad that he is okay and that your relationship is too. You both are going to have to come home to have a proper family dinner.” she said.
I smiled and nodded.
“I would love too.”
