Zayn’s Point Of View

I knew what I had to do. This was the only choice I had.

“Ashley, love, I have to go to rehearsals for the band today. I’m sorry, I wish I could cancel and stay with you.”

“No, Zayn its fine! I know I’m not your only priority. You have the band too and you’re going on tour pretty soon and you would need to practice. I will be here when you get back. I love you.”

“I love you too.” I said before I let the hospital room.

It hurt so much to lie to her, but it was for her own good, I had to do this. I went outside to the front of the hospital and called the doctor.

*When the phone call was over*

Okay good, everything is being taken care of. The doctor understood my wishes and I respect him for that. This wasn’t an easy decision to make and he knew what sacrifice was being made. I took a cab home and decided to relax a bit; with Ashley in the hospital I haven’t been home much and never had the time to take a break. Besides I am at “rehearsals.” When I got home I sat down and realized I had the house to myself. Where could the boys be I thought to myself. I haven’t seen much of them either, since I had been at the hospital so much and they didn’t go much, since she got tired out so easily. Without hesitation my eyelids began to close and before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep.

*Three hours later*

I slowly began to rise from the couch and checked the time.

“How did it pass three hours already?” I asked under my breath.

I stood up and stretched out. I need to go visit Ashley, I thought to myself. I called a cab and was there before I knew it. I ran inside the hospital and into her room.  Before I went in, I was stopped by what I saw in the room with her. Niall, Harry, Liam, and Louis were in there with her and they were talking. I decided to listen along so I pressed my ear up along the door.

“How were rehearsals guys?” Ashley said.

“What rehearsals?” Liam asked.

“Zayn was here before and said that he had to leave because you guys had practice today for the upcoming tour.”

“We only practice on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays,” Harry said.

“Then where do you think he went?” Ashley asked.

Everybody looked around as if they didn’t know what to say. Great, I was busted. I couldn’t walk in there now or else everyone would bombard me with questions.

“Maybe it’s a surprise for you?” Niall suggested.

“I don’t think so. Zayn wouldn’t lie about it. At least I hope he wouldn’t.” Ashley said.

I couldn’t tell anybody about what was going on. If I did everyone would protest and the whole thing would end up in mush and that couldn’t happen. I needed this to work. 

“Let’s go looking for him guys; maybe he’s in the hospital!” Louis yelled.

I moved into another room and saw all of them run in different directions. Well that was a close one. I was just about to get out of the room when I noticed that I had invaded another person’s room. It was a mother with her newborn baby. They were all staring at me with their eyes widened.
