Again, we take the same road, two days in the same clothes
And I know just what she'll say if I make all this pain go
Can we stop this for a minute?
You know, I can tell that your heart isn't in it or with it
~~~~~
"Fuck" Was the first word Claire mumbled as she woke up
She blinked, trying to rid herself from her sleepy daze and frowned
She looked to her right and frowned seeing Niall
"Why do you look like someone died?" She joked and winced
But Niall didn't smile, instead he looked even sadder
Claire's eyes immediately widened "Shit. Who died?"
~~~~~
Zayn was sitting on the floor still, he was quiet, his head was dropped back and his eyes were closed
The tests on the other kids came back negative, but the doctor needed to wait for a safe time to put Stella under the anesthesia
And once it was safe, she was wheeled away
Liam looked at him before he looked at Louis he jogged towards him and grabbed his elbow and frowned
"Can we talk for a bit?"
Louis nodded, he gave Darcy to Harry and followed Liam outside
"What's wrong with Stella?"
Louis blinked "Zayn didn't tell you?"
Liam shook his head "What did you and Zayn talk about?"
Liam blinked then frowned "I just realized we didn't talk about much…."
Louis sighed then gulped "So…. You don't know that Stella has a heart condition?" Liam's eyes widened "You don't know that she needed a heart transplant or that any wrong move to her chest could lead to her in an immense amount of pain and an artery to close up?"
Liam blinked and shook his head
"You do know Zayn was taken by Brian for 55 days around that time…. Right?"
Liam tensed and shook his head
Louis sighed "You both have a lot to talk about…."
~~~~~
"Claire-"
"Shut it"
She limped but arrived to the waiting room in one piece
She saw Darcy asleep on Harry's shoulder, Trisha and Yaser holding each other, Isaac rubbing Derek's back, Theo and Liam quietly talking, Louis and Liam were leaning against a wall and Stiles was sitting while looking at his hands and tapping his feet on the floor
She then spotted Zayn, sitting with his back to a wall with his eyes closed
She walked towards him, telling her pain to suck it up before she reached
She patted his head and he turned his head up to look at her
She smiled but he just looked at her
"You're supposed to be resting"
Claire shrugged "I learnt from you, love"
Niall cringed "I tried to stop her- I promise I did"
Claire waved Niall off and sat on the chair closest to Zayn
"What do you have there?" She said, nodding towards the lump on the inside of Zayn's jacket
Zayn opened it, revealing Connor asleep with his head on Zayn's chest
