Chapter 28 || • My Niall •

Zayn

I gathered up every strength and confidence I have left to walk closer towards him, he maintained his eye contact with me. Every step I took had sent fear to my whole body, the fear of what may happen if I keep taking steps. The fear of maybe losing him if I won't be able to do things right.

Along the way, I searched for my voice, we needed to talk anyway. I nervously asked the nurses, "C-could you please leave us alone for a moment? I'll take care of him."

The nurses turned their heads back to Niall before finally nodding to my request, they headed to the door as they mumbled their goodbyes. I then realized I was just a step away from the hospital bed, the air was too thick and the silence was deafening.

I can feel his gaze on me, taking in my existence. I had so many things I wanted to say when he was lying there peacefully but now I couldn't even utter a word nor think about what I should say. I wanted to break the silence lingering in this room so I stuttered saying his name, "N-Niall. ."

His face changed slowly turning into a scowl as he opened his mouth to speak, "Why the hell are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Liam?" There was a trace of bitterness in his voice and it wasn't too loud nor too quiet. My heart broke instantly hearing those words, he said it so nonchalant that it seems like I don't care about him and that I belong with Liam which isn't true at anyway because no matter what I belong to him, I'm supposed to be with him.

"That's not true." I said weakly but before I could continue he interrupted me.

"What's not true, Zayn? How the fuck am I supposed to believe that's not true when I saw the both of you kissing with my own two eyes?!" He had raised his voice now, the anger evident not only in his gaze but with his voice and body.

"No, I can explain that, just please listen to me."

"Listen to you?! But how can I?! How am I supposed to listen to you after you've lied to me. You know how much I hated being lied to, Zayn. You're the one who made me feel that way because of you I'm scared of things I wasn't supposed to be."

"Then, tell me what should I do to fix this? Tell me what should I do to make you believe me because what happened? That was a one time thing, it happened just that moment and I can't fucking let that thing ruined what I've worked hard for all my lifetime."

"Nothing! Because right now, Zayn. I don't think I can believe anything you say, even the things you've said in the past. I'm no- Ah!" He whimpered, hands frantically reached for his head as his face became distorted in pain. Worry surged through me and I rushed beside him, I don't care if he's going to hate me for this. "What is it, Ni? Where does it hurt?"

To my dismay, he pushed me away rather too hard but I don't care if it's too hard or not that doesn't bother me at all what bothers me is that he doesn't want me anywhere near him though I know exactly why. "Stay away from me!"

I tried to keep my composure, I wouldn't be able to explain if I cry right now. "Should I call the nurses?" I asked timidly, restraining myself to get closer to him because he'll only be uncomfortable inches from me.
