He's My Twin

Chapter 3

*Niall’s POV*

The doctor had just walked up to us and we were waiting for what he was going to tell us. I was so freaking scared over a girl that I haven’t known for even a day.

“Well, we have her stable and we had to give her some blood. Right now we have her in a medicine induced coma so her immune system can get used to the blood and not have the antibodies attack it like a foreign object. She should be ok by tomorrow or the next day. Luckily she was found in time to where there wasn’t serious damage done to her brain.” The doctor explained. Trish let out a sob and almost collapsed on the flood. Zayn quickly caught her and earned a glare from me.

“Can we still see her?” Zayn asked. The doctor nodded then was called off for another patient, “I know this is weird but I want to go in first. I need to kinda get something off my chest even if she can’t hear me.” He said. I was still glaring at him as he walked by.

*Zoey’s POV*

With Zayn being back I felt the need to cut again.  All the emotions that I got from him just came back all at once. Even when I talked to Niall it felt that way. The emotions kept piling up on me. I even heard them screaming at each other. Zayn called me a liar.

I had taken a shower but as soon as I got out I made the familiar marks again on my legs and on my arms. The pain wasn’t there this time. I pressed the blade harder onto my skin, hoping to feel something. I felt nothing. I tried it on my legs this time. I pressed the blade harder against my already scared skin; still nothing. I felt myself starting to get light headed. I walked-more like crawled- into my bathroom trying to call for Niall. It didn’t work. I could feel my blood pooling up around me then I felt nothing. I had passed out. I really hope I wouldn’t be waking up this time.

*Zayn’s POV*

I sat in the chair next to the hospital bed that my sister laid in. She was incredibly pale. It was an unnatural color for her. I sighed deeply and finally let it all off my chest.

“I am so sorry Zoey. I have been such a dick to you and you didn’t deserve it at all. I have always been jealous of you but you have always been in my heart. I know that sounds messed up from all the things that I have done to you but it’s true. When we were younger we were really close. I was the one that changed and I’m so sorry. I haven’t told anyone this before but I got a tattoo for you. I told everyone it was for my love of comic books but it was for you. My ‘ZAP’ tattoo. It was supposed to be for you. I had thought about getting it the moment Mom told me you changed your name. I waited almost a year after that instead. I just want to make everything ok again. I want us to be normal siblings. I don’t want us to fight anymore.” I said. I had a hold of her hand the entire time and I felt a twitch of her hand. I looked up, hoping to see her eyes open but they remained closed. I sighed and stood up and slowly left the room.

I walked back out to the waiting room and saw my other sisters and my father sitting with Mom, “Um, whoever wants to go next can go.” I said and walked over to my little corner and sat back down. I shoved my head in my hands again. I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Safaa looking at me.

“What’s wrong with Zoey? They won’t tell me anything.” She said. She had a really sad look on her face.

“She’s just hurt right now. She will be better tomorrow.” I sighed. I didn’t know if that was really true or not but I really hoped it was. She slowly nodded and walked back over to our parents. A few minutes later I felt another presence around me. I looked up and saw Doniya looking at me with a look of pity. Just one look at her and I was crying my eyes out. I put my head back in my hands and sobbed. I almost immediately felt Doniya wrap her arms around me.

“It’s all my fault,” I sobbed, “I’ve always been such a dick to Zoey and now she’s in the hospital. It’s all because of me.” I cried.

“It is your fault but you have to do something to fix this.” She said truthfully. She was never the one to lie straight to your face. I nodded against her shoulder then felt her leave. I looked up and noticed that Mom and Dad were gone so they must be in Zoey’s hospital room.
