Falling For My Teacher

16: We're Gonna Be Friends

16: Broken Leg

"This sucks," I sighed as my dad wheeled me out of the hospital. "A broken leg is the last thing I wanted." 

"I know sweetheart. It's no fun. But Mr.Horan said they will hold the play until you are better," he replied. 

"Y-You talked to N- I mean Mr.Horan?" I asked, more like stuttering. 

"We did. He said had some things he could bring over for you," he replied. "Since you wil being doing some home schooling until you can function with your crutches of course. Also he seemed very worried that he has offered to come and tutor you." Niall actually worried. He is worrying about me. A small smile tugged across my lips. He still worried about me. "Ryan?" 

"Sorry what?" I asked, snapping back into reality. 

"I wanted to know if you wanted me to pick up some of your favorite chinese food," my father asked as he helped me into the car. 

"I just want to go home and sleep. "

The soung of rain hit the window softly as I woke up. The tv ran soflty in the background as I laid in my bed. I don't know exactly what time it is but it fells like I have been sleeping forever. Seriously. 

I was about to call for my parents when my balcony door opened. It scared me slightly until the figure was more clear to me. "Zayn? What are you doing?" 

"I heard you were hurt," he replied with a shrug. "I wanted to know how you were doing. I wanted to see with my own eyes." He lookd somewhat stressed. 

"I'm better that I was two days ago," I nervously laughed. Zayn took a seat on the end of the bed, trying his best to not hurt my leg. "Why didn't you come through the front door?" 

"No one is home," he replied. "I waited awhile outside and no one is here." 

"That," I giggled. "Or because it's one in the morning." 

"That could also have something to do with it," he chuckled. He looked down at his hands then up at me. "I was really worried." He took his backpack off, pulling some things out. "So I brought some things we could do. As you know... Friends." 

"At one in the morning?" I giggled. 

"What's a better time?" He said as he changed my tv to the AUX output so he could plug in his phone. We're Going to be Friends cover by Keaton Stromberg started playing. "I also brought some board games, my ukulele, and many other things!" 

"You're a crazy kid Zayn," I laughed as he tooke more things out of his bag. He pulled out christmas lights and pictures. 

"I thought maybe I could give your room a make over," he smiled shyly. "I don't know. I just know you will be in your bed for some time so it never hurts to change it up a bit." This kid was seriously crazy. 

"Go ahead," I smiled towards his direction. He took off his snapback, placing it in his bag as he took out the light and more pictures. He began to rearange things in my room as he placed pictures in random places. In the end when he stepped away from the wall the pictures spelt a saying. "Love Without Limits." Why did that sound something that I needed right now?

"I know things Ryan," he said quietly. My heart stopped. "I'm not going to say what but I know you aren't happy. There is no limits to love. Whether you are a few years apart, same sex, anyone Ryan. There are no limits." He laid in the spot next to me. 

"So what your saying is I could date an old guy and that would totally be okay?" I questioned. 

"Okay that would be a little weird," he replied with a chuckle.
