Zerrie

Chapter 23

Zayn's POV

I didn't know what I was thinking. Going to a bar, take 12 shots of tequila, then drive home? I'm too obssesed with Perrie. I need to stop. She doesn't love me anymore, I shouldn't either. I feel numb almost everywhere. The cuts aren't that bad, it's just that There's too many. Especially with a Heart that isn't mended. I see Louis and Liam enter my hospital room. "I never knew you could get American service in France!" Louis says. "How are you feeling?" Liam says, touching my hair. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY HAIR!" I say, trying to be mad, but i'm too hurt to. Liam jerks his hand out of my hair. He better. I see a face walk in too. The one I've been looking for this whole time. Perrie. "W-why are you here?" I say. "Because, I realized that I shouldn't pretend." Perrie says. I smile at her. "So, where's Niall?" I ask. "He's in the hospital cafeteria. He wants Some chicken." Liam says. "Ah." I say. The doctor walks in with some records. "Mr. Malik, you have 2 more surgeries before you can check-out of the hospital." The doctor says. I look at the schedule. "My next surgery is in 4 minutes." I say,shocked. "Yup." The doctor says, pushing my bed to the surgery room. I wave my hands goodbye."Alright this might hurt but it will be over before you know it." The nurse says, getting the needle ready. I have a phobia of needles. I look away from the nurses face paying no attention to it. I feel it come into my skin. It feels like a pinch at first, but then I feel nothing. I look at the ceiling with the light shining on my face and I give a glance at Perrie, Liam, Louis and Niall watching me slowly fall asleep. But, they don't look happy. It actually seems They're trying to warn me about something. They're pointing at the nurse. I look at the nurse's face. I notice that all the surgery people are unconscious. I finally focus on the nurses face before my eyes completely close. Annira's face is looking at me, slowly going to sleep. Or, am I slowly dying?

I open my eyes. Not in the hospital, but in My wedding. My mother is crying, while my sister is sobbing.I sit down and see myself kissing Perrie. Am I dead? Someone taps my shoulder. She offers me to come with her, into the hall. "Okay, is this a dream?" I ask, before letting her say anything. "Yes. It is." She says, smiling at me. But that smile turns into a straight line. "I'm afraid this dream will appear again. Only not a dream. Life events before you die." She says, all serious. "W-what do you mean?" I say, curiously and worried. "It seems as if Annira put a drug in you to make you fall asleep while, giving you cancer." She says. I almost die of shock. "Yes. Mostly stomach cancer. But luckily, you don't have to lose your hair." She says. She touches my shoulder and walks away. "Hey! Do I die or survive?" I shout. She fades away and so does the setting. All I'm left with is a white wall. I hear a doctor saying all my information on my cancer. I see the light! But just the hospital ceiling light. I see Liam, who fell asleep on the chair and Perrie, fell asleep holding my hand. And Liam, talking to the doctor. "Hey big buddy." Liam says, hiding the cancer papers. "How you feeling?" I look around. "Where am I?" I ask. "Just another hospital room." He says, trying to act like I don't have cancer. I nod and see Liam wake up. "Did you tell him?" Liam says. "Tell me what?" I say, sitting up. "T-that, you have cancer. It spread but, they might be able to cure it." Liam says, almost crying, giving me the papers. Iook at them. How would Perrie react? I look at her and see Niall at the corner of my eye. "Hey mate. I think you heard the news. Here's some food. Eat it before I do." Niall says, giving me some chicken. 

"We're home!" Perrie says, pushing me to the couch, giving me a blanket, and making me soup. "Why are you making such a big deal about this Perrie?" I say. "Because, I want you to be comfortable." Perrie says. "I know that's not the real reason." I say. "Well, I just want you to be happy before," Perrie pauses. "Before you pass away." Perrie says, and starts bawling her eyes out. I go to comfort her. "Perrie, The doctor could find a cure. You just have to have faith." I say, trying to make sure she is as relaxed as possible. She goes back to cooking the soup, wiping her tears off her cheeks. 

It's 3:00Am and I still can't sleep. I'm thinking too much. I shouldn't because I know how much The doctor loves me so he will get me the cure. I see my window open. I close my eyes slightly just enough to fool them that i'm sleeping. But could still see them. I look at thier face. It's masked. But those eyes. Those eyes, I can recgonize from anywhere. They're Annira's. She has A gun. I still don't know why she wants me dead so badly. She points it at me. I see her pull the trigger. My mind is working so hard but it stops. I'm not dead. But I don't feel alive either.
