Fix You

Chapter 2

Neha's Pov

We trudged on into the night until the lights of my house came into view.Zayn held onto my hands like his life depended on it.He looked so helpless and innocent like a little child.As we approached the door of the house I motioned for him to come inside.He seemed so nervous and lost so I literally held onto his hands and pulled him inside.

"Welcome to my home Zayn.This is where I live." I smiled politely at his cute face.

"Thanks but I really don't want to be a bother."

"No you will not be a bother Zayn.Its okay.Make yourself comfortable okay."

"What about your parents will they allow me to be here.I really have never been anywhere except on the streets so I don't want to be a burden." he pleaded with his tearful eyes.

It breaks me so much to see this sweet guy crying infront of me I stood beside him and patted his back gently " Actually i live alone um my parents died when I was very young so its okay you won't be a burden okay."

He smiled warmly at me and that smile I swear it could brighten up someone's bad day honestly his smile was so amazing just like him.
"So how old are you?"I asked
"I'm 22"
"Okay well I'm 18"

"Zayn I think you should change those clothes.I think they are really cold and needs a washing since I see you shivering in those clothes." I said warmly.

"Yeah sure I'll change them." he smiles at me while taking off his dusty jeans and his torn shirt leaving him in just his boxers.I couldn't stop looking at him I must say he was really handsome and cute.

Zayn caught me staring at him and he was blushing and smiling shyly.I realized to stop staring and directed him to the bathroom.

"Just go down the hall and turn right you will see the bathroom Zayn.You can have a hot bath while I prepared something nice for you to eat okay."

He nodded and began leaving for the bathroom.I then rushed into the kitchen to see what to make this poor guy who probably hasn't eaten for days.I pondered on what to make this guy then finally I settled upon making chicken burgers and french fries.
Soon I finished cooking the meal and I set the table and waited for him to finish his bath so he can have a hearty meal.
Zayn finished his bath and soon he joined me at the table.I realized that he had no other clothes to wear.The ones I washed were the only clothes he owned.So now after the bath he was just wearing his boxers and no other clothing since he doesn't have any other.And unfortunately I don't have men's clothing here since its only me and I wear only girly clothes.
"How was the bath" I quizzed
"The bath was good.In fact it was really great.I have never experienced anything like it before.Thanks so much."
"Oh its okay really I'm glad you had a bath"
"Yeah its been so long living on the streets and I never had a bath like that before all I had was a bucket and fetching water from the waterways to have a bath" he said sadly
"That's very sad.I'm so sorry.Look I prepared a nice meal for you so can eat cause its probably so long since you ate a good meal"
"Yeah thanks so much I could never be able to thank you enough.I'm sorry but I didn't caught your name again"
"Its Neha"
"Well thanks so much Neha for everything"
"Its totally okay and you're welcome Zayn and besides that's just me I love helping others that's the way I am.That was the reason why I couldn't leave you outside in this cold night."
"Well you should start eating before everything gets cold" I said while handing him the plate filled with French fries and the chicken burger.
Zayn took the plate and hungrily devoured the food instantly.I just gazed in shock at how fast he finished everything.I bet he was totally famished.
"That was the best meal I have ever eaten thank you"he pouted sweetily.
I nooded and took the empty plate and went to tidy up the kitchen.It was almost midnight now so I decided I will retire to bed now.
"Zayn I'm going to bed now and I think you should get some rest too so you can sleep here"
"Uh where exactly should I sleep?" He asked nervously
I thought about this for a moment before I replied "um Zayn you can sleep in my room okay"
I lead the way to my room and I saw he still had a nervous expression on his cute face.
"So where will you sleep?" Zayn asked while staring at me
"On the couch you can use my bed"
"No no no I can't possibly put you out of your own bed Neha so I'll take the couch and you sleep in your bed okay"
Aww he's just so sweet and thoughtful.But I think I have a netter idea.
"Zayn what about we both share my bed since its huge and comfy.The couch won't be that comfortable and you're going to feel cold sleeping there."
He looked at me with some bewildered expression" I can't sleep there I mean how will we share the bed it just won't feel right and I'd feel bad"
"No its okay we'd share the bed and there's nothing to feel bad about Zayn"
Finally he agreed and climbed into the bed.I sighed as I tucked a huge line of pillows between us to create some sort of barrier and not to invade our own personal spaces.I couldn't help but smile at how this night has been.Firstly I stumbled upon this homeless guy on the streets at night and now here he was with me.I never felt so happy before I was happy that for once in my life I didn't had to feel lonely cause I wasn't alone.I turned and whispered "Goodnight Zayn"
"Goodnight Neha" he relied softy
I just laid there staring at the ceiling thinking about Zayn.And the fact that I helped him.I was extremely happy I did.I heart quiet humming from Zayn.He wasn't sleeping either so he was just randomly humming something.I didn't know what he was humming but it sounds so amazing.His voice was so cute too.
"I can't seem to sleep do you mind singing something Zayn?"
"Yeah sure I will"
He began singing sweet nothings that lulled into the relam of sleep and soon I was drifting off into my dreams as Zayn's sweet voice continued to sing to me.
