I Need You

One chapter closer to this being over guys!!! I love you all so much, thank you for supporting this book. Because of all of you I'm finally confident in my writing and will continue on :)

Zayn's POV

Waking up with my family surrounding me, was surprising needless to say, but what was terrifying was the sound of my mother forcing Liam into a family dinner.

"Mum will you please stop pressuring my boyfriend into family dinners." I groaned out, my throat a little dry.

Hearing my voice everyone stops what they're doing and turn to look at me. "What do I have something on my face?" I say jokingly before my sisters squeal and engulf me in bone crushing hugs. Pain shoots through me but I ignore it just for the sake of them, I haven't seen them in a while.

My mother walks over with dad trailing behind her. She leans over and gives me a kiss on my forehead, running her hands through my hair."It's great to see that you're finally awake sweetie." She says a smile gracing her face while my father rest his hand on my shoulder giving a quick squeeze."Your mother is just excited to finally meet Liam." He says chuckling.

When everyone finally gets their hug in, Niall giving a tearful bear hug and a promise to have a guys night in filled with Ben and Jerry's and superhero movies, Zayn finally looks over at Liam. He's been stuck in the same place since Zayn spoke, a blank look on his face.

"Cameron?"

"Dead." He gives a curt response his stare softening at my sigh of relief.

"So are you gonna stand over there all day or are you gonna come and hug me?" I ask giving a small smile watching as he kickstarts almost like a machine. Quickly he walks over them engulfs me in a hug being mindful of my back.

Pulling back he stares into my eyes his hand coming up to caress my cheek. Leaning down he softly pecks my lips. A bright smile graces his features when he leans away, a whispered "I missed you" slipping past his tongue.

He sits in a chair next to mine as soon as Waliyha asks about my injuries."His back has a few lashes but are expected to heal with minimal scarring, he got shot twice and beaten pretty badly, the doctor was actually surprised that he healed so much in only a week." Liam explains running his thumb across my knuckles where our hands are joined.

"Oh my poor baby." My mother cops out as she grabs my face in both of her hands squishing my cheeks together.

I look over to Niall, he had been awfully quiet and if anyone knows Niall that's an alarm. Niall is never quiet. "Uh guys could you leave the room for a little?" I timidly ask.

"What?! We just got to see yo-" Doniya starts before dad cuts her off.

"He's asking us to leave for a few minutes Doniya he's not gonna disappear." He says sternly before prying my mothers hands away from me pulling her out of the room. Slowly one by one everyone gets up to leave but I stop Niall. "Wait Niall." He turns a look of confusion on his face before he sits back down.

He looks down as the door closes, sitting up pain shoots through my lower abdomen but I get through it with a grunt. Giving Niall a once over he looks tired, bags underneath his eyes and his eyes are red like he's been crying. His clothes are wrinkled and his hair is more tousled than usual.
