Taken and Trapped ( One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 22

*Zayn's POV*

I wait in the Family Room with Eleanor and Danielle as we wait for some news on Perrie. In the end the doctors wanted me out of the room. They told us to wait in the family room and someone will be with us shortly, but they haven't. We've been waiting for over an hour and I can't help but feel worry.

I start to tap my foot on the ground as the wait is agonising. The room is silent as no one knows what to say. I stare at floor, thinking. Why would Perrie do this? When did she decide to do this? Yesterday? This morning? A week ago? Why did she have to do it the day we were saved?

The door opens and in walks one of the doctors.

"Are you Perrie's friends?" He asks and we nod. "Perrie is alright. We've made the bleeding stop, but she's lost a lot of blood. It was a good job you brought her in quickly. Another half hour or so and she might not have made it." I sigh in relief that Perrie is okay. If she wouldn't have made it, I don't know what I would have done.

"Can we see her?" I ask.

"Only one person I'm afraid." The doctor tells us. I look at Eleanor and Danielle and they both nod, signalling I can go. I mouth 'Thanks' and follow the doctor to the ER. When we walk in I see lots of tubes around her. She looks so weak.

I walk up to her bed and when she sees me, she smiles.

"Zayn? Is that you?" She asks as if she doesn't believe I'm here and I nod. I take her hand in mine as I sit on the chair beside her bed. I feel a tear roll down my cheek as I look at her.

"Why?" I ask my voice barely above a whisper. The smile she had suddenly vanished.

"I...I..." She says not knowing what to say. I feel another tear run down my cheek.

"Don't worry about it." I say to her and she smiles again. She obviously doesn't want to talk about it, and I won't make her. We sit there in silence just watching each other, our eyes never leaving each other.

"I cant't believe I nearly lost you." I say, breaking the silence.

"Well you haven't." Perrie says, her voice croaky. "I'm still here." I smile at her. I lean down and give her a hug. I feel that she's shaking but ignore it. I just want her in my arms.

"I love you so much." I tell her.

"I love you too." She says and I can feel her smiling. I break from the hug and peck her lips.

"Never do this again." I plead.

"I won't!" She says as she starts to cry also.

"Mr Malik?" I hear someone say behind me. I look around and see the doctor standing in the doorway.

"Yes?" I ask.

"You have to leave now. Miss Edwards needs to rest." He says and I nod.

"Okay." I say and then turn back to Perrie. "See you tomorrow." I tell her and I lean down and kiss her.

"Bye." She says when we break the kiss.

"Bye." I say as I get up from the seat. I walk to the door, but before I walk out I turn back around and blow her a kiss. She pretends to catch it and put it in her pocket which makes me laugh. I turn back around and walk out the door. I head back to the Family Room to tell Eleanor and Danielle the good news.

As I walk back into the family room, Danielle and Eleanor stare at me. I sit down in a chair and they look at me, waiting for the news.

"So? How is she?" Eleanor asks.
