Z, Z, Z
"Well, Zayn, the good news it we won't need to do surgery. The plate-cast we're using right now is helping just fine." The x-ray doctor, Carter, tells the injured boy
"Oh good. I-I've always hated surgery.. It terrifies me." Zayn admits with a sigh of relief
"Well, this one would've been minor if we'd of had to do it, but you're lucky." He smiles to Zayn and Zayn smiles back. He likes this doctor much more than the other.
"How's the pain, then? Since we had to get you up and turn you and such?" He asks as he grabs a clip board to right down the good news about no surgery
"Uhm, I mean, it's okay.. Kind of a sharp pain going down my back though. I handle pain pretty well.." Zayn answers slowly
"Well, I can see that. You only winced when we had you moving." The doctor answers as he finishes scratching his signature on the notes so other doctors know the x0ray was legitimate.
"But my leg. It's really hurting." Zayn admits
"Well, that's because your cast is tight.. which, it's supposed to be, but it's squeezing which also makes you itchy" The doctor tells him as he glances down at the white cast around Zayn's leg
"Yeah.. very fuckin' itchy" Zayn grumbles and the doctor laughs a little
"If I find a sharpie, you think I could sign it? I love signing my patients casts. Especially the funny, carefree ones. not the rude, bitchy, ya know.." He tells him honestly and Zayn decides he REALLY likes this guy better than the other doctor.
"Sure, mate. Go on ahead. And maybe let me keep the sharpie so my friends, and maybe my nurse, can sign it" Zayn replies
Carter signs the cast then lets Zayn keep the sharpie and takes him back to the room.. and both the doctor and Zayn are surprised to see Harry and Liam, both losing their shit
"Guys, what's happening? Harry, are you crying? Liam-" Zayn's worried voice gets cut off when he realizes Carter has to help him back into the bed. !!
Once Zayn is in the bed, he finally requests some pain meds for his shoulder and Carter hurries off to get Angel..
"Tell me what's going on, guys." Zayn says, actually worried
"Niall and him got split up at a club. Gemma is with a boy someplace. Harry's phone is gone. Niall's not answering. Harry remembers nothing and they drank an ungodly amount of alcohol last night." Liam explains quickly
Angel comes in and gives Zayn his pain meds and Liam and Harry sit quietly in the chair, Harry on the arm and Liam actually sitting in the chair.
"So, Zayn.. how'd that x-ray go? Need the surgery or..?" Angel asks as she hands Zayn the cup of water.
"No surgery. I'm so glad." He says as he takes the water and sips it after putting the pills in his mouth.
"Good. I would've been worried.. even though it's a minor surgery" She tells him as her face tints red and he just smirks
"This all, or are you good now?" She asks quickly, before he has a chance to say something about her blushing cheeks
"Maybe.. a 'congratulations you don't have to have surgery' kiss?" He asks with a smirk
She rolls her eyes, because he asks this every time, and she holds his jaw in place as she leans down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.
"There. Hope that helped, Z" She says as she grabs her little pill bottles and puts them back in the bag she carries then she let her hand linger on his hand for a few seconds then she excused herself from the room.
