Chapter Fourteen-PartTwo

I stared forward to the road, as Zayn drove fastly through the busy roads. Was I nervous? Obviously I was, Harry, my close friend Harry, was in the hospital and I didn't even have a clue.

Naima told Zayn that she had called and texted me, but I didn't respond. What kind of friend was I? I was paying so much attention to Marlon, that I didn't even notice that my best friend needed me. I hated myself for that.

Sighing, I turned my head and watched Zayn. He was really trying, but should I let him talk? He came to the studio, got into a fight with Marlon, and had gotten kicked out, but still, he came to get me so I could get to my friend. Was I being too harsh? Should I have let him explain himself? I should've let him explain. Once we got to the hospital, and everything with Harry was okay, and I talked with Naima, I would talk to him, I thought to myself. 

I turned my head from him and rested my head to the window, watching the plain, grey roads. I closed my eyes and turned my thoughts off. 

When I woke up, the car was still, parked. Straightening up from my slouched position, I looked up at Zayn to see him smiling at me. "Lets go" he said. I nodded and opened the door, getting out. 

I walked silently towards the hospital and opened the door. Zayn followed behind me, not making a sound. Once we stepped into the elevator, the level of awkwardness seemed to increase by the seconds passing. "I-uh…what floor?" I asked him. He looked up from his shoes and stared at me. His eyes burning into mine, as I watched him silently. I stood there, waiting for an answer, but didn't seem to receive one. "Zayn?" I asked him again. He shook slightly, before fixing his posture and saying, "Eight." I nodded as I pushed the level eight button. 

The elevator started to move, and my uncomfortable nature lessened. I leaned into the wall with my elbow. I heard Zayn cough so I turned my head to him. He was watching me intently. I smiled to him, and he smiled back. "Zayn" I started. His eyes glistened at the mention of his name. I smiled at that. "I've been thinking, and I was wondering if maybe when things calmed down and everything with Harry got better, maybe we can…talk" I started fidgeting with my fingers. 

I looked up and Zayn was in all smiles. His eyes bright, and his teeth white. I smiled at him. He stepped forward, but stopped when the elevator door opened. "After you" he said. I stepped out and waited for him. We stared to walk towards the nurses desk when he spoke again, "Scarlett, I would love too. That's that I have been waiting for all this time, to talk to you, and to explain everything." I nodded, as we arrived at the desk. 

"Hi" I smiled at the nurse sitting behind the desk. "We're here for Harry Styles, he uh—" my voice cracked. "He was in an accident a few hours ago" Zayn finished for me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I smiled at him. 

 The Nurse nodded before turning to the computer. "Room 816"  The nurse said, more to Zayn than to me. Her eyes roamed from top to bottom, and I felt myself burn with jealousy. I scowled at her, and Zayn turned his focus from me to her then laughed as he understood why I was scowling. 

 What is wrong with me? I thought to myself. Im not even with him, why was I jealous of a simple stare from another woman? Because you love him! A voice said in my head. Love him? You've got to be kidding me. Ha! It was probably because of all the chaos going around us. I shook my head and followed Zayn toward Harrys room. Zayn slowed his pace and before I knew it, he was walking beside me, elbows touching. I felt a shiver run through my body and closed my eyes feeling at ease. What are you doing! Screamed a voice in my head. I opened my eyes and noticed we had arrived at the room. Okay Scarlett, you can do this! Just go in there, apologize, and support your best friend.
