Chapter 6- In the Process

It's the original author here now! Ken might still be able to write a few guest chapters so don't worry! He ain't gonna go anywhere since he sits next to me in class and he's my best friend... ALSO HE'S MA SLAVE

The man with blue eyes ran towards the old lady that was laying on the hospital bed, unconscious.

Ignoring Taylor and Zayn completely, he went on his knees next to the hospital bed and grabbed hold of the old lady's hand.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down his face. He was confused of what has happened but knew it is impossible that the two people in the room besides them had something to do with the incident.

He finally stood up and exclaimed, "What happened to my granny?" It almost sounded inaudible. His voice was low and husky.

"W-we... We were driving on a street with no street lamps and then suddenly she just appeared in front of us, we didn't hit her! She had a seizure..." Taylor explained nervously.

"A seizure? It's probably your excuse!" The man screamed in anger towards Taylor.

She was frightened. Frightened of what was about to happen.

What if he blames Zayn for everything?! What if he gets in jail?! She thought, so scared.

"She's not bleeding anywhere, which means we didn't hit her. You can check with the doctor." Zayn exclaimed in calm.

The man was speechless and he turned around to face the doctor who had been standing in an awkward situation since they got in.

"Is she okay?" The man asked in concern and a bit sadness in his voice which made Taylor feel guilty.

The doctor, finally having the chance to escape from the awkward silence, cleared his throat, "You're lucky your grandmother's alive. If this lady over here didn't give her a CPR your grandmother probably couldn't even make it to the hospital." (Referring to Taylor)

The man felt ashamed of himself. He looked at Taylor then back to the doctor.

"So what happened to my granny?" He asked.

"She had a seizure. It might be because she was shocked by something." The doctor exclaimed walking out as he nod towards the man.

The awkward silence was once regained.

"I'm sorry I misunderstood you. Thank you for saving my granny's life." He exclaimed looking down.

"No, it's fine. We're sorry we didn't see her." Taylor said looking at him.

The man took a deep breath and smiled, "I'm Louis, Louis Tomlinson." And gave Taylor his hand.

She took it and smiled back, "Taylor. Taylor Swift."

Just then the doctor gave the three conscious people a nod and walked out, relieved that he was out of the situation.

And Louis continued, looking at Zayn, though Zayn wasn't looking at Louis at all since he was so tired, "And you?"

Zayn, regaining a little bit of energy, put on a weak smile and reached out for Louis' hand and said, "Zayn Malik."

Taylor could see how tired Zayn was since he was the one who carried Louis' grandma all the way from the car into the hospital at full speed.

She then waved Louis goodbye and her and Zayn both walked out of the hospital and into the car in full silence in the dark rainy night.

The digital clock in the car flashed a green light saying 3.05 a.m. and they continued their silence in the unstarted car.

Zayn ran his hands through his messy hair, didn't know if he should suggest what he was thinking since he definitely did not want Taylor to have a bad impression of him but he realized that was the only way now so he gulped and spoke, "Um... It's getting kind of late now and it's raining so do you wanna just stay in one of the hotels nearby? Besides going back would be quite dangerous since I can barely see."

Taylor looked at him, trying to look casual as ever and nodded with an innocent smile, "Um... Yeah. Sure."

Zayn cleared his throat and started the engine.

He started as he drove, "There's a hotel right around the corner, I was here before when my..."

And then he stopped. His happy face all of a sudden became a cold straight face.

Taylor looked at him, eager of him to continue. "Your what?"

A/N. Guess who is it before continue reading! I wanna know who you think it is! Comment here! ;)

He then immediately stepped on the break and they stopped in the middle of the road as Taylor's body flew front and back again due to the sudden change in speed.

The car rested silently in the middle of the quiet rainy road as the street lights flickered from the outside while Taylor swallowed and stared down at her lap, fiddling with the laces at the end of her dress.

"My best friend. I lost her there."

Taylor gasped and looked up and turned her head to face Zayn who had a strong grip on the steering wheel looking down.

She felt sorry for him and she knew that the girl he lost wasn't just a best friend to him, probably like a sister or more.

"Zayn, I'm so sorry." She said resting a hand on his shoulder.

Zayn took a deep breath and finally looked up, his eyes glistened due to the reflection of light on his watery eye.

"You can tell me about it, I'm always open to listen." Taylor gave him a warm smile.

"I was driving on this very road and she was here with me. It was her birthday actually," he let out a small laugh, "I was taking her to the place where the surprise party was thrown and then I..." He started closing his eyes, "It was raining... Just like this... I guess the car got out of control and we went straight to one of the street lamps and crashed. I hated myself... I don't deserve to be the one alive. When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital and then I found out she was... Gone"

He started crying, so vulnerable, which let Taylor realized she wasn't the most wretched person in the world, there was someone who's experiencing something worse than heartbreak, losing someone you love.

"She wasn't just your best friend, was she?" Taylor asked smiling warmly at him.

"She was... She just didn't know how I felt about her... I can't possibly take someone who's with my brother!"

Taylor was shocked.

Wait, what?

"She was with Harry? W-what's her name?" Taylor asked, eager to find out and hoping it wasn't who she thought she was.

"Lauren."

Holy shit.
