What Happened? (Ziall & Lirry Fanfic)

Chapter 7: Little did he know I love him too.

Zayn POV:

I woke up to a pounding in my head, what happened to me? I look up and see three blurry figures standing above me, Liam, Harry and some lady. Wait, that wasn’t just some lady, that was Niall’s mom.

“Listen here young man, I am sorry I hit you with my purse but I don’t want you near my son, you’re no good for him. Look at what has happened already, he is in the hospital because of you!” she said.

I sat up a little shaky at first but I caught my balance. “Yes, I know, I know how you must feel. I had never told anyone before today that I love him, and if I could take everything back I would in a heart beat, I just can’t lose him, I love him too much. I swear when he wakes up I will spend every second of every day trying to make it up to him!” I cry out, tears streaming down my sunken in cheeks.

“Are you sure? You would do anything for my son?”

“Anything in the world”

“Fine, you can see him”

“Really? I thought you would hate me eternally?”

“Hate is a strong word Zayn, let’s just say I wouldn’t mind hitting you with a heavier purse next time”

“Oh…”

When all was being settled between Mrs. Horan and me a person in white attire walked up to us.

“Are you the friends and family of Niall Horan?” he asked.

“Yes” everyone said at once.

“He is in stable condition and is recovering nicely, he should be out in a few days time. Also he is awake too, you can go see him in his room.”

Those are the words I have been waiting forever to hear. I bolt up and run to his room, his pale body is tucked in under the sheets with one arm out for an IV tube. As I walk closer to him the floor squeaks and he turns to see me. He looks down at his arm and then up at me and begins to hide it under the sheets, I need to see what I did to him. Harry and Liam soon walk in followed by Niall’s mom who as soon as she sees us tells the boys to come back in a few minutes because all three of us need to talk.

While Niall is still struggling to hide his cuts I grab his hand and flip it over to reveal something so terrifying I could never stand to see it again. On the inside of his arm there was a name carved into his skin, one name four letters, and it spelt my name, Zayn.

Niall POV:

I hear footsteps coming closer to my bed, maybe it’s my mom? I turn over to see the last person on earth I would expect to see in my hospital room, the infamous Zayn Malik. What the hell was he even doing here? Why would he come see me? Then I remembered something, my arm, it had his name on it. I rustled the covers trying to hide it but he grabs my hand in the process to reveal what I was trying to hide. I look up at his face and I see his eyes starting to water, he falls to his knees while still holding my hand, tears pouring down his face, he cared, he really did care about me. Not to long after that I see Harry and Liam leaving and my mom sitting down on a chair giving me that “we need to talk” look. I guess it would be nice to talk, I think I should tell Zayn the truth that I like him, wait no, that I love him. I need him to hear that and my mom, maybe it will make things better, it’s worth the shot though.

“Niall honey, we all need to have a little talk, and I want you to listen closely to what Zayn has to say, ok?” my mom said calmly, I nodded in response.

“Okay, here goes nothing…” I hear him mumble to himself.

“Listen I understand if you hate me and never want to talk to me or anything ever again. But please hear me out. I am sorry, truly sorry for everything I ever did to hurt you or make you cry, I never knew any of that could come to this, it scared me so much. It scared me to think I could lose you..”

Lose me? He never had me in the first place what was he even talking about?

“I guess what I am trying to say is I hope you can forgive me, I don’t want to be someone who ends lives, I could never live with myself if that happened, what I am getting to is that as hard as it may seem to believe I actually like you. Wait, no I don’t like you, I love you. I love you more than a friend, more than family, I am one hundred percent in love with you Niall James Horan, and I will do anything to make you feel the same about me. All I am asking for right now though is if you can forgive me, I have talked to Harry and we are ditching Louis, we don’t want to do this to people any more, so what to you say?”

I look up at him with gleaming eyes and a huge grin on my face, Zayn loves me, he really loves me, little did he know I love him back.

“I forgive you, of course I forgive you. But on one very strict condition”

“I will do anything”

“You and Harry have to have lunch with Liam and I very day, also every Friday we will have a movie night, and finally we all have to go the Pride Parade this spring, deal?”

“Deal” he said and with that I pulled him down into a hug, he lifted off of me not wanting to crush me in my fragile state, and let me stare into his eyes, they were full of hurt, guilt, love and happiness, and with that he leaned down again, but not for a hug, but to place one delicate kiss on my pink soft lips.

“cough, cough! Get a room!” I heard my mom say as we break apart giggling.

“We are in a room mum, maybe you should leave the room!” I say jokingly to her.

“I will do that, I’m going to go get Harry and Liam okay?”

“Take your time Mrs. H” Zayn says.

“In that case I will go run to get them” she said as she bolted down the hallway.

As soon as she left I turned to Zayn.

“Kiss me again?” I asked looking into his warm golden eyes.

“Of course” he said, as he bent to touch our lips together. I look up to see a grinning Harry, and confused Liam and my heinous mother who is laughing at there expressions. The boys come over to say hi and comfort me while my mom watches us and takes pictures on her phone.

I am happy, for once I am truly happy. I have my best friend by my side, my two new friends, and my mom, really what more could I ask for?
