Chapter 30
Emily's POV
It's been a week since the incident. Thankfully all my systems are working fine again. I can finally feel from waist down.
It was awful when I couldn't feel a thing from my waist down. When Ed or Zayn wasn't around, the others would start poking and hitting and slapping my legs. I couldn't react truthfully because I honestly don't feel a thing! The sound it makes when they hit the skin just annoys me.
Of course, Zayn being a protective boyfriend and Ed being an OVERLY protective cousin, they somehow beat them up when they get back and find out what they did to me... in a playful way of course.
I've been seeing less of Jack ever since as well. I really do feel bad for him, I think he feels guilty about everything when it isn't his fault at all!
"Hey... you're awake." Zayn grumbled from the couch.
I shot my head towards him and smiled. "Yeah, just thinking."
"A few more days before you can go home." He smiled as he got up and sat on the edge of my hospital bed.
"Can't wait. I'm just glad I lost 5 machines attached to me" I chuckled.
"Yeah... seeing you attached to those machines scares me." He smiled sweetly but it was a broken smile.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"What? Nothing's wrong. I should be asking you that question." He scoffed jokingly.
"I know you Zayn. Something's bothering you." I pressed in, raising both my eyebrows waiting for an answer.
He sighed in defeat and looked down. "I just... it scared me... everything scared me. It's like the thing I fear the most coming to life. Your line went flat... it scared me because we weren't really in the best terms before it happened. I thought..."
He wasn't able to finish his sentence because I pulled him to me and wrap my arms around him and just let him cried in my arms.
"I love you Zayn. That's the only thing that matters." I whispered.
"I love you soo much Emily. I thought I lost you." He sobbed.
"Shhhh. I'm fine now. We're fine." I mumbled.
I started singing to him this time.
"When I see your smile, Tears roll down my face I can't replace. And now that I'm strong I have figured out..."
I felt him relax under my touch as I kept singing.
"...How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one."
His shaky sobs finally stopped as I shuffled over to give him space and motioned him to lay beside me. I laid my head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close. Thankfully I only have one thing attached to me, just the dextrose.
"I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you through it all, Even if saving you sends me to heaven."
Zayn pulled me closer as he kissed the top of my head. "I love you Emily"
"I love you too." I smiled as I snugged in closer to him, slowly falling asleep in his arms.
"Awww. Would you look at them." A voice cooed.
"I think we should do what we did before." A different voice smirked.
"Don't you fucking dare dump water all over us Louis." I heard Zayn threat.
I started chuckling as I opened one eye.
"Good Morning Cous!" Ed chirped happily.
"We've got some people wanting to meet you!" Liam smiled as he stepped aside revealing two lovely ladies.
I sat up slowly, while holding my stab wound making sure I don't get it stretched because it would just open up the wound again and bleed horribly.
"Hi." I smiled as I hit Zayn on his chest, bickering for him to get up.
"I'm Danielle. Pleasure to meet you." The girl with the curly hair said.
"I'm Eleanor." The other girl smiled, sending me a wave.
"Hi. I'm Emily. Pleasure's mine." I smiled. "Are you guys related to Liam?"
"Oh no, I'm Liam's girlfriend." Danielle chuckled. "Eleanor is Louis' girlfriend."
"Nawwwww..." I gasped dramatically in disbelief.
"Believe it or not, she is." Zayn smirked.
"Are you really?!" I asked.
"Yeah. I am really." Eleanor smiled.
"I'm hurt." Louis pouted.
"Sorry Lou.. I just don't get how someone as pretty as her is dating someone as immature as you." I teased.
"Because he's adorably hot and handsome." Tyler butt in.
"Thank you mate!" Louis burst out.
"Yeah. You're not bad looking, but just insanely immature." I shrugged.
"Just some times." He shrugged.
I was gonna argue with him but I just decided to drop the subject because it's really no use. The argument won't really change anything whatsoever.
"Guess who's going home early!?" Ed boomed as soon as he got in the room.
"REALLY!?" I shrieked in excitement
"Yep. You're free to go home." He smiled as a nurse came in and removed everything that was attached to me.
"You're riding a wheelchair though because you've gotten weak." The nurse smiled as Marcus walked in pushing a wheelchair.
"Your ride has just arrived." Marcus said.
Zayn and Ed helped me up slowly. Wow. I can't even stand on my own! I slowly sat down on the wheelchair, clutching on my aching sides where I was stabbed.
"You okay?" Zayn asked, his eyes were filled with worry.
"Yeah." I lied as he started pushing the wheelchair out of the room.
"CONGRATULATIONS EMILY!" At least 8 people screamed once we got out.
They were holding up balloons and banners. They even have cake for me! I really do love my friends. I looked at each and every one of them with a smile until I my gaze locked on Jack. He looked different, his tired eyes and the circled developing under his eyes. What's he been up to?
I gave him a weak smile before Zayn started pushing me again. I need to talk to Jack privately soon! I think he's really blaming himself for all of this.

Do you think he's hiding a dark secret from Emily that's why he's distancing himself?
