I'll fight

(A/N) Sorry it has taken me so long to update, I have been REALLY busy with school! Anyway here it is! The next chapter.... Oh and btw I'm gonna start opening my chapters with a song.

'When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do. Nothing you confess could make me love you less. I'll stand by you.'

-Carrie Underwood, I'll stand by you-

Louis POV

I was just about to head to bed when Liam burst through the door yelling at me to get up and put some clothes on. 'Liam what is it? Why do I have to get dressed?' I said as I was balancing on one leg trying to get my pants on as fast as possible. 'It's Zayn, he was in a car accident!' My body froze and time stood still. Zayn was in an accident? How? Will he be okay? I managed to get a few words out. 'Zayn will be okay right' Liam gave me a sympathetic look. 'I don't know Lou, let's get to the hospital okay?' I nodded and finished putting my pants on with an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

As soon as the car stopped outside the hospital I jumped out and sprinted towards the entrance. I basically crashed into the reception desk failing to slow down. 'How can I help you?' The receptionist said. 'I need to see Zayn Malik,' I managed to get out while clutching my stomach trying to catch my breath. 'What are your relations to Mr Malik?' She asked. Oh crap! There is no way she would let me in if I just said I was a friend and she probably new enough about the band to know we weren't related. 'Umm...I'm his boyfriend.' I said hesitantly. 'Oh okay then, he is in room 283, just up the stairs and to the right,' She smiled as I sprinted off again.

Up the stairs, to the right and....there it was! Room 283, I paused for a minute before pushing the door open and seeing him there. Looking so helpless connected to so many tubes. I walked over to the bed and took his hand. He stirred slightly and opened his eyes weakly. 'Hey,' I whispered with a gentle smile. 'Hey,' He replied softly. Then a huge grin appeared on his lips. 'What?' I questioned curiously. 'You're not wearing a shirt babe,' He replied cheekily. I looked at my upper body, oops! 'I must have forgotten in the rush to get here,' I blushed. Just then the boys walked in.

'Why did none of you tell me I wasn't wearing a shirt?' I asked the boys. They laughed and Harry managed to say, 'We didn't think it mattered that much.' He shrugged his shoulders and sat down ion the sofa at the far end of the small room. The other boys joined him on the couch as the doctor walked in. I stayed where I was, by Zayn's side, not really caring if it made the boys suspicious.

'Hello Mr Malik, how are you feeling?' The doctor asked while looking at his chart. 'Pretty beat up to be honest,' Zayn managed to get out. 'Well you were in a car accident,' The doctor said looking a Zayn who just nodded, signaling that he remembered and was not suffering from amnesia. 'So whats the problem doctor?' I asked. 'Well Zayn has been very lucky by not actually breaking any bones but there are some tests such as white and red cell counts that have come up slightly off,' The doctor explained. 'Wait red and white cell counts that are off, that can mean cancer can't it?' I said worriedly. 'Yes that is a possibility, the test results could have occurred from damage done by the car accident but it is very unlikely and I am more prone to believe that something is going on with you Zayn and it was just a coincidence that you were in a car accident that ended in you coming to the hospital,' he said looking a Zayn with a slight hint of sympathy. 'So what does it mean if I have cancer?' Zayn whispered trying to hide the fear but we all heard it loud and clear. 'Well it could be that this accident was a blessing in disguise that got you to a hospital early ad the cancer has not spread, but I want you to stay positive. Remember that we do not know if you actually have cancer yet.' The doctor said reassuringly.

But it didn't reassure me, what if Zayn had cancer? I can't loose the boy I love! No don't think like that Lou, Zayn's a fighter. I told myself. I turned to the boys, they all looked as heartbroken as me. 'Hey lads, I'll fight you know? I won't give up if I really do have cancer, I have too much to live for,' He smiled looking into my eyes. 'I know babe,' I said getting into the bed and wrapping my arms around Zayn. 'Oh and by the way me and Zayn are dating,' I said looking at the boys. They seemed totally un fazed. 'We know,' Liam smiled slightly. 'How do you...actually I don't ant to know,' I laughed as I rested my head on Zayn's chest.

'The doctor said that they want to keep Zayn for a couple of more days and more if necessary so they can perform all the test, the first one being tomorrow morning,' Liam said as he re entered the room after having a conversation with Zayn's doctor. Zayn nodded and smiled slightly. Obviously doing his best to be brave for me and the other lads. I was so lucky to have such an amazing, kind hearted and brave person in my life and even luckier to call him my own.

(A/N)
