Pain and Sorrow

Thursday
Zayn

"Zee?" Louis' voice took me out of my thoughts. "Babe why are you crying?!" He asked with a voice full of concern.

"T-they- we need to go get Safaa!" I remembered as my eyes widened and I jumped out of bed, quickly throwing clothes on. Louis did the same.

"Wait Zayn I don't get it!" I looked at his beautiful blue eyes. They were full of concern. I sighed.

"Someone called me. Mom, Dad, Doniya and Walyhia died in a car accident." He gasped loudly, covering his mouth afterwards. "Safaa is alive. We need to go get her at the hospital." He slowly nodded and took my hand pulling me down the stairs and into his car. He doesn't deserve going through this again. I gave him the address and he drove us to the hospital. I was still in my thoughts, barely able to talk, so Louis talked with the receptionist.

"Where is Safaa?!" He asked.

"Sir, calm down. What's her last name?"

"Safaa Malik." He said in an annoyed tone. His foot was tapping against the floor while the receptionist looked on his computer.

"Room 312. Third floor on your right." He took my hand and ran to the elevator eagerly pressing on the button. When we finally got to the room I was too afraid to get in. What if she was hurt?

"Zee what are you doing?!"

"I-I can't do this Lou'." I said as I started to find it difficult to breathe.

"Hey, babe, it's ok. Sit down here. I'll go check on Safaa. Just breathe. You're okay. You're okay." He assured. He kissed my forehead and knocked on the door.

"Zayn Malik?" The doctor asked.

"No, he's not in state to talk right now."

"So you are?"

"Louis William Tomlinson. Now can I see if Safaa is okay?"

"Um sure get in."

Louis

I entered the room and a mop of black hair jumped on me.

"Loulou!" I released a relieved sigh. She is okay. I carried her, sitting her on my hip.

"Hey princess how are you?"

"I'm tired."

"It's okay munchkin, we're gonna go to bed soon." She nodded and smiled up at me.

"May I ask who you are to the Malik family." The doctor asked me.

"I'm Zayn's best friend."

"I understand." I nodded.

"Um you won't have to take her right? I mean Zayn and I can take care of her."

"We have to see to be sure. I don't think that you have the legal age, correct me if I'm wrong, so I doubt that you are qualified. You have to get a job to feed her, pay for her education, buy her clothes and all of that." He said looking me up and down. I frowned.

"I lost my parents at 8 and since then I live on my own. I already have a job and I'm sure that I make enough money to provide any of Zayn and Safaa's needs. And before you ask, no I'm not some kind of drug dealer. I work part time in a bakery, as a waiter and as a barman everyday. I get up at 6 to go to the bakery, leave at 11 to work at the restaurant and go to the bar from 6 to 11pm. I work my ass off everyday to earn all that money and I've always taken care of Safaa so don't you dare telling me that I am not qualified. I am 100% sure that I can pay for everything that Zayn and her need even if that means that I have to work more and deprive myself. Now what do I have to sign to get out of here?" I sassed. He quickly handed me a paper. Fucking idiot. I signed and left. Zayn was fast asleep on the waiting chair. I smiled fondly and slowly shook him awake. He blinked up at me and smiled when he saw Safaa. She fell asleep on me earlier. I took his hand in mine as he got up and we went back to my car. I slowly sat Safaa in her booster, that I luckily always kept in my car, and fastened her belt, I then went to the drivers seat after closing the door, fastened my seatbelt and drove back to the Malik's property. I decided that I would let Safaa sleep with us for tonite. I carried her to Zayn's bedroom and lied her down. I changed her into a onesie and tied up her hair so it wouldn't annoy her. "You can go to sleep now baby."
