The Fabulous Fours: Parisian Pursuit | Book 1

39: The Under-aged

It was a Sunday, and Selena was finally healed. She stayed in the Hospital for about a week, recovering from the bullet wound Fred had gave her. It was a tragedy for everyone but they didn't want to sound like they wanted to be anywhere but in the hospital room with her; it'd make her feel like she was a burden.

Zayn, Joe, and Nick all took turns going out to buy all the food and meals for them. Every meal was different when each person went. For example, when Zayn went to buy the meals, dinner, he'd come back with pasta, garlic bread, and heated pizza. When Joe went, he'd buy a burger for everyone, not forgetting to take their orders so he didn't get them wrong. When Nick went, he bought packs of packed rice, like a combo. And breakfast.

Selena loved them all, she never complained about who bought what, and was really happy they had took turns, meaning that she wouldn't have to eat the same thing about the whole day. No one wants to eat burgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they'd explode!

It was 5:56 PM and they were getting ready to get out of the hospital. Selena was already walking without the help of Nick, and Nick had sworn himself to never ever try to be a gentleman ever again, because he did not like listening to the sound of urine hitting a marble toilet. He never will again.

Nick was out to fill up the forms with Paxton, while Harry and Joe were packing everyone's stuff into a suitcase they bought. Harry had suggested that they should just leave all the hospital stuff out, but Joe had disagreed. Zayn was talking with Selena- well it was only Selena talking about all the KUWTK episodes she watched, and Zayn was just supposed to add in and pretend to know the shows.

The only one he he actually familiar with was Kim Kardashian.

"I don't think they actually eat real food," Selena said, looking up at Zayn, who was completely unaware of the question. "I mean, all I see them eat is like- salad! They never really eat actual food. Is that why they all look like hourglasses and I look like a potato?" she asked him again. Zayn tried to suppress a grin, but Selena laughed, "It's fine, that was a joke. I really do look like a potato..."

Zayn shrugged, "It's probably why I buy all the good stuff for you to eat and not just junk food. Unlike Joe, who keeps buying you burgers."

Selena pouted, "But I like burgers! I mean, I don't eat them a lot- not every day!"

Zayn smirked, he was getting the load of it and was doing it to himself in the mirror now, "I know, but you still eat them. Have you exercised?"

Selena grimaced, "Ugh, don't even get me started on that- I don't even like to walk, let alone exercise! Besides, I don't really care- it's not like I'm going to become a model one day..."

Zayn thought for moment, then said, "Hey, you could be one, you know. You have a nice face, nice curves... You're really pretty, too," he added with a hint of a blush in his cheeks.

Selena blushed; it was the second time Zayn had complimented her, saying that she was pretty. Zayn turned to look at Harry and Joe, who were both leaned over the table, watching Joe play Fortnite. He called over to them; "Oi! You done with the clothes?"

Harry looked over his shoulder, and said, "Yeh, we're done. Anything else we need to do?"

Zayn shrugged, "I don't know-"

The door slid open and Nick came panting in with Paxton. It looked like they were both running. Nick started to tell them urgently, "We have bad news. Fred's gone. The nurses don't even know where he is. They reckon he wasn't fully healed from his wounds yet-" Zayn proudly puffed his chest out, "-but we can't let him leave! What if Axel-"
