Imperfect Reality ~ Ziam Fanfic

Chapter 14

I was running. Running as fast as I could. I tried to stop and take a breath, but I couldn't. My heart felt like it was up my throat and my stomach lurched. Then I saw him. He looked beautiful. The light was shining on him, making his hazel eyes sparkle and olive skin glow. He ran his hands through his perfect hair and flashed a smile. He opened his arms wide, inviting me in. I was just about to hug him until...

I woke up panting. After I noticed I was sweating like crazy, I realized I was in a hospital bed. Again. Harry rushed in with worry on his face and said, ''What's wrong?! I could hear you panting and, and-''

I chuckled, ''Nothing's wrong mate I just,'' I paused for a moment thinking about what it exactly was. ''I just had a very interesting dream, that's all.'' Harry looked relieved then noticed all the sweat on my forehead.

''Jesus christ Liam, look at you! You're drenched! Let me go get a towel.'' I held on to his arm, stopping him from going. I smiled and said, ''Don't worry, it's okay.'' I reassured him.

Just then, Louis walked in to the room. His face was bright until he looked at Harry, then trailed down to my hand on his arm. I could see him trying to fight the look of jealousy on his face. I quickly let go of Harry.

Harry seemed like he was oblivious to what just happened and said, ''Hey boobear what's up?''

I raised an eyebrow at Louis and Harry. ''Boobear?'' Louis blushed and Harry gave me a cheeky smile. ''It's what Louis' mum used to call him, right?'' I laughed then quickly covered my mouth as I saw Louis give me a glare. ''Sorry.'' I mumbled to Louis.

Harry and Louis looked at each other then burst out laughing. ''What?'' I said confused.

Louis caught his breath, ''Oh god Liam you looked like a sad puppy.'' Harry mimicked me and said, ''Sorry.''

They both started laughing again. I threw a pillow at them, and they started picking up pillows and throwing them at me too. You know, I  forgot how good it feels. To actually have fun again.

At Lunch

We were at the hospital's cafeteria, eating some lunch. Then I instantly remembered. Zayn. I need to find him. I quickly got up, getting stares from Louis and Harry.

''Where are you going?'' Harry asked with his mouth full.

''I need to go find Zayn.''

''Oh no you don't.'' Louis said, ''Sit down.''

''But-''

''Sit down.'' Louis looked at me so intensly that I had to sit down.

Then after a few moments of silenece, I muttered, ''How did I even end up here?''

''Pardon?'' Louis asked.

''I said, how did I even get here?''

Harry looked at me and said, ''Well, er, you kind started running. We had no idea of where you were running to, but you weren't fully recovered so you kinda collapsed.''

''And we brought you here.'' Louis finished for him.

''Recovered from what?''

''You don't remember?!'' Louis looked at me with wide eyes. I shook my head. Louis looked at Harry then looked back at me.

''You got hit by a bus.'' My mouth dropped open. ''What?''

''You don't remember?!'' Harry said. 

I looked at him and said, ''If I did I wouldn't be asking, now would I?''

''Okay, okay. Sorry. You were running across the street to Zayn and the bus hit you.'' I faintly got flashbacks of Zayn being dragged into the car.

''I need to find him.'' I got up and started walking.

Harry and Louis got up behind me. Louis grabbed my arm, I looked back at him. 

''We're coming with you.''
