Conflicted Love <3

~Chapter 7~

Zoey's P.O.V.

I swam to shore keeping Zayn and his kiss as my motivation. I was tired my body was aching. Pain everywhere. I had to focus on my goal to help Zayn. Once I reached the shore Marissa was there. She was my bestfriend but also a cop. I guess Zayn had called her before going in after me.

"Marissa!! I'm so glad to see you!!", I said shaking. I was freezing but I tried not to acknowledge it.

"You have to save Zayn!! He's out there with that Psychopathic Bitch!!!!", I said loosing control. Marissa tried to calm me down while getting her officers to go into the water. They were prepared with wetsuits and weapons in waterproof compartments. I saw them all leap into the water. These weren't just regular officers they were something else but at the time I couldn't find the right word. I was focused on the people going to save my one and only true love when a nurse came to me.

"Would you mind coming with me we have to make sure your alright and get you dry", She said in a sweet voice. I listened and followed her to the ambulance. I didn't even realize all that was going on until now. There was two ambulances a couple of police cars and one huge metal van which probably contained the special officers on their way here.  I sat there with a blanket the nurse gave me. She was taking my temperature at the time. She checked me out and said I was fine besides some bruises and scratches here and there. I thanked her and stayed waiting for what seemed ages. I just wanted Zayn to be okay if something had happened to him I wouldn't know what to do. I was slowly drifting off when I heard screams. It was Sarah she was being taken out of the water by four to five policemen. She was crazy. I had almost totally forgotten that Zayn  was also un there with her I ran to the police officers.

"WHERE IS ZAYN!!!", I screamed. My eyes were starting to tear up and my heart was starting to ache I couldn't stand this it was too much to handle. Eventually they had to inject me so I would sleep. I felt myself drifting into an unwanted sleep not being able to do anything about it.

*The Next Day*

I woke up with the sun coming in through my blinds.

"What happened?", I started to mumble to myself. In an instant I remembered everything the date the walk.......the attack. I shrieked and began sobbing not being able to control myself. Then I realized where is Zayn. I rushed into my closet changing quickly then to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then my hair. I put it into a ponytail I grabbed my phone and my small clutch and ran down the stairs. Just as I was about to open the door I heard Marissa.

"Where are you going?!?!", she asked shocked.

"Where do you think genius to see my boyfriend!!!", I said soon regretting the sarcasm.

"I'm sorry Rissa I'm just really worried I won't be fine until I see him.", I said looking down. Marissa being as understanding as she is pulled me into a hug. She knew that I was hurting not just physically but emotionally too.

"I know you're anxious to go see him but you have to eat first. Okay?", she said pleading almost.

"Fine", I agreed nodding my head. Marissa made me the hugest breakfast ever. She made bacon, eggs, waffles, pancakes, and French toast. I couldn't resist eating a little bit of everything. I sort of ate when I was feeling a certain way at times. It was a bad habit. I finally finished and so did Marissa we cleaned up the kitchen but the dishes in the dishwasher and finally took me to see Zayn. My heart shattered when we reached the Hospital. I couldn't believe he was actually her and it was slightly my fault. We got out of the car and walked into the cold hospital. I was glad that I was wearing a hoodie. If I hadn't I would probably have been shaking. We walked up to the lady at the desk who was currently making a phone call and gave us the 'please wait " finger. When she finally hung up I was freaking out bubbling with anger. She took forever on the phone and all I wanted to do was see my boyfriend. Marissa seeing hoe angry I was asked the lady politely what room Zayn Malik was in and if we could go see him. She gave us the directions to his room and we were off he was on the 3rd floor room 305. When we finally got there a doctor was leaving. I rushed into the room Marissa waiting outside knowing I would like my privacy. I walked in as quietly as I could. It was hard seeing the love of my life laying there injured. I walked over to him found a chair and sat down. I grabbed his hand thinking he was asleep. Turns out he was awake. 

"I was expecting you Love", he said chuckling a bit trying to sound like nothing was wrong.   

"Are you okay?", I asked.

"Yes I'm fine just a mild concussion nothing to worry about a couple bruises and scratched here and there", he said nonchalantly.

"Fine!? You have a mild concussion Zayn", I said not trying to be too harsh. Zayn simply pulled me down into a simple passionate kiss. I never realized how much he actually meant to me. If I had lost him I don't know what I would have done.

"Stop thinking babe", he said noticing my saddened features.

"I'll try", I said leaning on his shoulder. He pulled me into the bed with him even though I refused. I rested my head on his chest making sure not to hurt him. He simply held me tight brushing through my hair with his fingers. I soon drifted off and so did he.

Zayn's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of machines beeping and about a million people swarming the room. I didn't have to guess where I was I already knew. The Hospital. The last thing I remembered about last night was my head going into the freezing water. I don't know what happened after that. I had a terrible pain in my head. The doctors and nurses realized I had woken up. One of the nurses came over to me smiling.

"Hi my name is Anne. Are you feeling any better?", she asked.

"A bit. but my head hurts.", I managed to say.

"That should be normal. You have a mild concision, but no worries we have medicine to make you feel better", she said. This lady is way to perky I thought. She injected my pain medicine into some tubes then left. I laid there most of the doctors and nurses have left seeing that I had woken up. I suddenly remembered everything that had happened last night. I freaked. I couldn't do anything but lay there looking at the ceiling remembering everything that happened. I needed to contact Zoey. Now. I searched for my phone but couldn't find it so I called one of the nurses in.

"How may I help you Mr.Malik", a different nurse said.

"Umm would you happen to know where my phone is I need to call someone", I said hoping she did.

"I'm sorry but you're not aloud to use any electronic devices for at least a week.", She said apologetically leaving. Fuck I thought to myself. How can I go without at least sending her a text. I was going to go out of my mind but I guess I couldn't do anything. I laid there hoping she would come visit me soon. I hadn't realized what time it was until I looked at the clock. it was now 12pm. She must be sleeping I thought. I guess I should get some rest too I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and soon drifted into a deep sleep thinking of her. When she finally came to see me it was about noon. I was so happy to finally have her and she was okay. She came in quietly thinking I was asleep so I let her think that. I tried to keep her from worrying about me but failed. After a small chat I pulled her into the bed her refusing to as always. I held her tight brushing her hair with my fingers. We soon fell asleep in each others arms. A couple of hours later we were awoken by a doctor a nurse and Marissa. Zoey immediately tried to get off the bed once she saw the people but I simply wouldn't let her. She finally gave in and gave me the 'I hate you but I love you' face. I chuckled and kissed her forehead. Finally the doctor a nurse came over and explained to both Zoey and I that I would not be allowed to leave the hospital until tomorrow. Zoey was crushed when she heard that. She was now standing beside the bed holding my hand. I squeezed it letting her know everything was gonna be okay.

"Don't worry nothings wrong we just want to keep him one more night for observation to make sure we didn't miss anything.", he said trying to make Zoey feel better. He nodded at both of and left along with the nurse.

"So I guess you're gonna be stuck here", Marissa said trying to lighten the mood.

"I guess so", I said laughing a bit.

"Don't worry I heard the food isn't that bad", she said laughing at her little joke.

"But look on the bright side Zayn you're really rocking that hospital gown", She said laughing even harder than before.

I laughed just before asking Zoey, "What do you think babe do I look sexy in this gown"

"Very", she said giggling kissing me in the lips.

"We should get going", she said to Marissa. I gave her the 'why are you leaving face'. She simply hugged me trying not to hurt me and walked to the door. Turning around she said,"I have to get my place ready, since you are going to be staying with me for a while", and then she was gone.
