   Ȥayn laid on his bed, his eyes staring up at his ceiling, blinking each time they would dry out. His hands were crossed in his lap, feet intertwined with the covers on his bare legs. His boxers clung to his body, his bare torso against his blue sheets. His fingers twiddled with each other, his mind racing with the recent events that have occurred over a short span of two days. His finger rubbed against the bandage that was wrapped around his wrist, the cloth protecting the wound that was beheld there. Zayn winced as he brushed across it, it slightly still hurting. He didn't want Niall to know though, afraid that he would cause the Newborn more grief then he was already in. Being left behind by your parents because you were turned into a creature that humans told scary stories about changes you, drastically. And Zayn wasn't lying when he said he would be there for him, whatever he needed, whenever he needed it, he would always be there. Always.

Zayn hadn't gotten any sleep at all, him laying on his bed throughout the night, his thoughts restless and not giving into slumber. He had promised Niall that he would be there for him, but Zayn still had no idea how. How was he supposed to take care of his turned friend? How was he supposed to constantly make sure that he was OK?

How was he supposed to continue with his feelings towards Niall.

Zayn sighed and turned over in his bed, his hand dangling down and almost touching the floor. Zayn's eyes wondered to his clock on his nightstand, the numbers flashing 7:03 back at him in bright red. Even though he had Niall to take care of, he still also had school. Zayn got up, his body aching and eyes heavy from lack of sleep. He promised Niall yesterday that he would come back to his house after school, and Zayn wouldn't ever forget the happy smile and gleam in Niall's eyes as Zayn told him that. Niall had given Zayn a bone crushing hug, causing Zayn to lose his breathing for a few seconds. But Zayn had to admit, no matter how painful that hug was, it was the best hug he had ever gotten.

Zayn stretched, popping his joints before he headed towards the bathroom. Now all he had to do was start the day off, then he would be able to see his vampire angel.

Once the bell rang, signaling the end of last period, Zayn had taken no hesitation in leaving the school. His teacher yelled at him from behind him, but he ignored it. Niall needed him, and Zayn wasn't about to let him down by being a second late.

In a matter of 5 minutes, Zayn walked up Niall's front porch. His breathing was rapid as he tried to catch it. Walking slowly across Niall's front porch, his feet felt heavy from the sudden speed in motion. Still getting his breathing under control, he knocked consciously on the front door before entering and peering in.

"Niall? I'm back mate, you okay?" Zayn called out, walking across the thresh hold, his hand still on the knob. Zayn looked around through the living room seeing no sign of Niall, until he looked down the hallway and saw a tuft of wild blond hair peering around the corner. The only thing visible was Niall's eyes and up.

"C-Can you close the d-door, please?"  Niall spoke quietly. Zayn nodded, shutting the door behind him with a click. He turned around and looked down the hallway, back towards a now appearing Niall.

Zayn tried not to stare but Niall was just too beautiful to not look at. He wasn't covered in blood anymore, his face and hair scrubbed clean of it. He wore a blue t shirt that looked slightly too big for him, a pair of baggy grey sweatpants that also looked big on his small frame. Zayn also took notice that his arms no longer had bite indentions on them, his skin flawless and smooth as if nothing was there in the first place.
