ZERO [ L.T. Fanfiction ]

Chapter 14

Liam must be regretting. What will we do now. Zayn, Liam and Niall have already started inquiring blood banks. I wish, I could do something for my friend. I wish I could donate blood. Wait!

"My blood type is also B negative" I yell.

"oh gosh! Thank you so much! Will you please save my life?" Liam asks.

"What? Are you kidding? What kind of a question is that? Of course, I'll do." I scold him.

The doctor nods and hands over the paper to me. I am signing them and Liam just won't stop thanking me. I will teach him a lesson when everything gets fine.

I hug Zayn and follow the doctors. They take me to Etalie's room. My heart is beating faster and faster. As I enter, I see a huge bed, some equipment and a faint beeping sound.

I saw Etalie lying there, on the bed. Wrapped in bandages. A drop of tear rolls down from my cheek. I can't see her like this. I could see her eye. It was reddish and purple. Rather it was awful to look at. I can't imagine what Liam will go through when he sees her condition.

My hands are trembling. I have been led to the bed which is besides Etalie's. They say that they have to transfer blood immediately, so the donor has to be in the same room.

The nurse walks out of the room. It's just me, a faint beeping noise and Etalie. She is sleeping there, motionless. I am laying down, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I slowly turn towards Etalie. As soon as my eye catches her, I start crying. I felt something that I am unable to describe. Endless stream of tears flowing through my eyes.

"Who thinks you're insane? We all belong to you and you belong to us. With whom will share your problems if not us?"

My mind is playing her words again and again. I shouldn't have let her home alone. I should have waited for Liam to come. I was so selfish.

"I am- I'm so sorry, Etti" I say as if she's listening.

The nurse comes in and starts preparing something. I sob slowly.

"it seems she's close to you." the nurse says.

"yes, she's my colleague and my best friend." I respond.

"it's ok. She'll be alright." she said.

I read her name on her uniform, it's Lexa. She's old enough but seems nice. She injects me with a syringe and a pipe connected to it. She withdraws my blood and it starts filling up in a bag.

She tells me to sleep for a while because I'll feel dizzy after donating the blood. I do as she says. I close my eyes.

It was painful at the start but now it seems fine. I am starting to get some sleep but my mind is constantly worrying about Etalie.

Suddenly, I hear someone's sob. Is it Etalie? I quickly turn my head towards her. She was lying in the same way. Motionless.

My heart rate increased again. I slowly glance towards the corner of the room.

HE'S THERE.

The boy. He's there. How does he know where am I? I feel helpless. I am there in a room with my best friend lying motionless and an unknown man or a boy who appears and does nothing but cries and sobs.

I felt the tears in my eyes. I couldn't move or I'll hurt myself. I couldn't shout or yell. It's a hospital. Etalie is not there too. To share my thoughts and calm me down.

I remember Etalie told me to observe him. I can't.

Suddenly the room starts spinning and everything blacks out.
