I woke up with a pain in the bottom of my stomach, it's weight pulling me down. I groan and look around to see Zayn clutching on my arm. His snores filled the room and I shook him awake, his throat vibrating.
"Huh?" Zayn shouts and he sees me and frowns, biting his lip.
"What?" I ask, pulling up my eyebrow.
"You lied." He grumbled, placing the razor on my leg. I remembered it instantly. I starved myself and then I attempted to cut, but only to let Zayn in. Thank god I did.
"I lied?" He nodded, sitting up. He walked around a bit before leaning against the wall, looking out the window. I looked beside the bed, a meal sat there. A sandwich, an orange, and a muffin sat there.
"Eat." He says simply and I obey his command, worrying how he'd react to what had happened. I watched him watch the traffic for a minute before turning to the little meal beside me. "Why'd you lie?" He asks, moving away from the window.
"I didn't want you to worry." I mumble, opening the bag that held the sandwich.
"Amber.... No matter what you don't and do tell me, I will always worry about you. I want you to be happy and healthy. You shouldn't of lied." I took a bite of the sandwich, it's bland flavors running over my taste buds.
"I'm not worth worrying...." I trail off looking down at my sandwich.
"Dammit Amber!" Zayn shouts, slamming his hands down on the table. I cringe, looking up at him. "You're worth everything to me!" He shouts, veins popping out. His face softens before continuing. "I-I love-" Zayn is cut off by a nurse opening the door.
"Hello Amber! Hope your feeling okay!" She smiles, and looks at our frowning faces at her. "Did I interrupt something?" She frowns, expecting my medical shit.
"No." Zayn grumbles, stomping out of the room.

A week later I was out of my room but yet my mom was still in the hospital. Our hometown church raised a fundraiser, over 25K was raised. I walked around the hospital with Zayn, occasionally chewing on the stale gum in my mouth.
"Okay your turn." Zayn squints at me, the sun bright and blinding. It wasn't usual but hey, I needed a walk with Zayn to clear my head.
"Do you want to go to college?" I asked, stuffing my hands in my pockets.
"Yeah I want to but I'm not sure if it'll work out. Okay.... Do you have a crush on anybody?" Oh shit. Zayn could NOT know that I had a crush on him. No no no. But I couldn't lie, he knew instantly when I lied.
"Uh yeah." I mumble, looking at the ground shuffling my feet in the dirt.
"Who is it?"
"It's-" I'm interrupted by a round of gunshots.
