Three Way Relationship

21 - Something's Wrong

Zayn's POV

After having Justin bathed, dressed and on the couch so he could rest, I was almost exhausted.

I wasn't going to stop making sure he was comfortable and okay, though.

I wanted him to see that this was real, and that he's okay.

He's different from when I saw him last, and that's not his fault.

I swear if I ever see Andy again, there will be nothing stopping me from killing the bastard.

"He's been stabbed pretty badly in the spine..." Taylor mumbled as he tended to the unconscious boys wounds.

Zeke told us the wound was over a week old, so Taylor said there was a possibility it could be infected.

While Harry, Louis, Liam and Zeke helped Taylor out, Niall and I tended to Justin's needs.

He was asleep, but we knew he was still uneasy.

I grabbed a spare blanket and wrapped it around Justin as he slept.

Niall sat beside Justin, careful not to knock Justin in any way.

I sat near Justin's legs, sighing.

"How bad is he, Zayn?" Niall whispered, his eyes glued to Justin's face as he slept with furrowed eyes.

"He's in a bad condition..." I admitted, "I think maybe he needs some therapy if it gets any worse." I swallowed.

"Will it get worse?" Niall looked to me.

I shrugged.

I really didnt know.

Justin is in that position of not being able to tell that we're reality.

So, he could be stuck at a cross road on what's fantasy, and what's not.

"First thing in the morning, we need to call the police and get some things sorted." Taylor said as he packed up the first aid kit away.

"How's Justin?" Liam asked, walking over to us.

I shook my head, "Not good."

"What do you mean?" Louis walked over with Harry.

"He's not exactly believing we're here..." Niall sighed.

"What's that mean?" Harry asked.

"He thinks we're not real." I stated, clearer.

"Oh, well what do we do?" Liam asked.

"Convince him we're real somehow." I shrugged.

"Be careful, its a delicate situation right now..." Taylor said, joining the conversation.

I nodded in agreement.

I glanced over at Zeke and the boy - we should really find out his name -.

Zeke was sitting against the wall, looking down at his feet.

He seemed depressed, but I wouldn't blame him.

Justin is pretty bad, and what's happened to Justin, has probably happened to him as well.

"We should get some sleep..." Liam sighed, laying on a mattress.

Harry and Louis went to a mattress behind the couch, cuddling up to each other.

"Uh, Zeke, there's a mattress and blanket right there, you can sleep there, okay?" Taylor smiled.

Zeke nodded, before slowly crawling onto a mattress a few feet away from him.

He laid down, instantly closing his eyes.

I watched as Taylor got in beside Liam.

I smirked, I know they're doing stuff together.

I sighed, turning my attention back to Niall and Justin.

Niall laid beside Justin, gently rubbing his arm up and down.

I squeezed between Justin and the back of the couch.

We're lucky the couch went out a bit further than normal couches.

I draped an arm over Justin and onto Niall, pulling them closely.

I just hope in the morning Justin would realize its really us.

That this wasn't an illusion played by his mind.

Justin's POV

Gripping my hair, he pushed my face into the mattress with force.

I groaned in pain as my lower area stung and burned.

I felt like I was being ripped apart.

I tried screaming out, just for him to stop. Nothing came from my mouth, aside from sobs and whimpers.

He pulled me up, ripping my hair almost off my head.

I squirmed as much as I could, trying my hardest to get away from him.

"Stop! Its okay!" He yelled, holding me in his arms.

I let out screams and sobs as I kicked my legs, and swung my arms as defence.

I wanted to be free, why wouldn't he let me go?

"Stop, please!?" He begged, but I wasn't falling into it, he was going to hurt me again....

Niall's POV

we woke in the middle of the night to Justin thrashing around in his sleep, crying.

Zayn immedietly pulled him into a hug, trying to soothe him,

But Justin began screaming and thrashing around more violently.

It woke everyone up.

I scrambled off the couch, terrified.

What was happening?

Why was Justin freaking out like this?

Zayn didnt know what to do, other than to hold him and just keep trying to calm him down.

"Its alright, Justin. Its okay, its just me." Zayn said, hugging him closer.

None of us knew what to do, he was literally throwing kicks and punches in all different directions.

"We need to pin him down before he hurts himself!" Taylor suddenly said.

I swallowed, shaking my head as my eyes blurred with tears.

"Ni, grab his arms." Harry instucted.

I couldn't.

I can't.

I shook my head again, rushing to the bathroom and locking myself in there.

I can't deal with that, I-I can't watch him while he's like that.

It scared me...

He was freaking out.

I broke down in tears, blocking my ears when I could still hear Justin screaming.

What if we can't fix him?

Author's Note; So.. Justin's just had a melt down :/

and its just going to get worse...

Poor Niall :(
