A feeling of hot burning fire in my forehead was what made me wake up. The light was so bright that is stung my eyes, and had to close them again instantly. I noticed there was a figure in front of me, but I still didn't know who it was. I also noticed that I was laying somewhere comfortable, and as I moved my hands slightly beside me, I realised I was on a sofa.

"Dion, can you hear me?" The voice sounded soft, gentle and familiar, yet it still rang loudly in my ears and was unable to recognise the voice.

I frowned at the pain as I brought my hand over my eyes, and slowly fluttered them open.

Harry Styles' face came into focus and suddenly the memories flooded back. I had fallen down against Zayn and had bumped my head against his chin.

I quickly leaned forward, trying to see if Zayn was anywhere near me, but a violent shot of pain suddenly burned deeper on my temples that it knocked me back down again.

"Careful there," Harry whispered as he extened a hand to rest on my upper arm. His touch was warm but firm as he held me down. "You need to rest,"

A loud bang against a door made me squirm in pain as Liam's voice called soon after, "She's awake!" And he banged the door again, before it squeaked open.

I saw Harry suddenly draw his hand back in seconds and had it rest on his thigh again, as Zayn's concerned face suddenly came into frame.

"Babe, you okay?" He muttered as he took in my pained expression. I noticed Harry get up from his seat and Zayn take it, as he leaned in to rest an arm next to my face. "I'm here," He breathed and offered me a happy smile, which in turn made me smile too. "I was bursting and quickly popped to the toilet, I told the lads to tell me the minute you awoke... How're you feeling?"

My eyes were now fully open and I saw Niall approach the sofa along with Liam and Louis, they smiled at me and I faintly smiled back as I told Zayn that my head was hurting.

"Your mam called while you were unconcious," Louis said as he came to sit on the coffee table beside Zayn. I saw how Zayn shot him a look I didn't quite get the meaning of, before turning to look at me, his features softening immidiately.

"We thought she'd be concerned so I answered and told her what happened, I hope you don't mind..." My mind suddenly went into a frenzy thinking about Zayn on the phone to my mum. He told her what happened; I suddenly panicked at the thought of him telling her what we were doing. However, as though Zayn had read my thoughts, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I told her you were hugging the boys goodbye, and Louis came a bit too strong and accidently bumped his head against yours,"

I noticed his tone sounded worried, as though he knew the lie would make me apprehensive.

"I took one for the team!" Louis suddenly chuckled, and I saw Niall shake his head as he tried hard not to laugh.

"Your dad's coming to pick you up," Liam's voice then interrupted sounding slightly nervous. I then took in all the boys' expressions as they too looked a bit worried.

"My dad?" My voice broke as I asked again. My dad was going to freak out. Seeing me, having been unconcious in a room full of attractive boys, was bound to make my dad see stars. No wonder they were all worried.

"He insisted..." Zayn added apologetically, as he gently brushed my cheek with his thumb. "You'll feel better soon-"

"Here, drink this," Harry's voice suddenly interrupted Zayn as he made his way towards me, holding a glass of water.

My eyes darted towards Zayn and I noticed his jaw tense as he remained quiet. Niall had extened a hand to rest over Zayn's right shoulder and squeezed it lightly. As Zayn saw the fear surfacing in my eyes, he calmed down and I could see it took all his strengh to remain so as he added softly.
