Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

14. Safe and Sound

Jessie's POV

"Thank you Patty, for everything!" I hugged Patty as we said our goodbyes. I finally get to leave the hospital today.

"You're welcome sweetheart."

"I'll come visit to see the babies in the nursery and obviously to see you. But mostly the babies." We both laughed as she pulled a purse out the drawer.

"I don't usually do this for patients, but I bought you this purse. And inside is something very special." I dug inside the purse and gasped at the little necklace that was there. It had a shamrock charm at the tip. "I chose the shamrock because you're lucky to have survived with that many injuries."

"Thanks, it's really pretty." I smiled at her as she led me down the hallway, hand in hand. "I wish you were my mum Patty. I've never had a proper mum before."

"If I could, I would love to adopt you as my own. But your eighteen, therefore I can't take you into my own arms." I frowned as we made our way outside. "Be safe sweetheart."

"Mhm, I love you Patty." I hugged her.

"I love you too Jessica." That was the first time I didn't mind anyone calling me Jessica. I smiled at her and searched the parking lot for Victoria. But I only found the boy with a motorcycle, Zayn. After the fight with Harry he actually came back for me. I slowly walked over to him and poked his shoulder. He abruptly turned and shrugged at me.

"Zayn?"

"Get on."

"You're not going to hug me?"

"No, get on." I frowned and got onto his motorcycle, clinging to his waist as he drove off. He drove all the way to his house and didn't even bother helping me off the thing. I ended up falling over an empty bottle of wine. Zayn looked down worried at me but shook his head and went inside. What is wrong with him?

"Zayn, what's wrong?" I rushed in after him, pressing my hand to his chest.

"Nothing is wrong."

"You left me there all alone! Stop lying! Something is wrong and I want to help you!"

"You heard what Harry said! Why do I need to repeat it? You're his property. I only came to pick you up."

"I'm not anyone property! Don't you dare call me property!"

"Well let's just say you're on his reserved list then. I'm not allowed to be with you!" A large gust of his breath hit me. The strong smell of alcohol made me gasp.

"Zayn, you smell." I sniffled, backing away from him. "You did it again!" I started crying.

"Yep, take it all in babe."

"You know what? I was gonna tell Harry that I don't want to be with him! That you've changed and I trusted you with all my heart but no! You had to go and do this to yourself again! I was actually going to choose you over Harry! I can't even believe myself for thinking you could've been the one." I groaned. "I'm walking to Harry's."

"Wait, Jessie!" He grabbed my arm. "Are you serious?"

"Why wouldn't I be! I was serious about your alcohol addiction! I was serious about kissing you! I was serious about being something bigger than just a friendship! But obviously I was stupid for making that decision!" I yelled at Zayn, wiping the tears escaping my eyes. He pulled me close to his chest, kissing my forehead.

"I hate making you cry. It's just that Harry-"

"Don't listen to Harry. Listen to yourself! That's all I want you to be. Not who someone else wants you to be." I sniffled, rubbing his chest.
