ZAYN'S POV
Motionless and lifeless on the floor, my Hope lays.
"HOPE!" I scream, crouchind down on my knees next to her. She doesn't answer me back. Nothing at all. I place my head on her chest, trying to hear her heartbeat, and I do. But, it's so faint. I need to get her to the hospital, or else I'll.. or else I'll lose her.
And I can't lose her.
I carry her bridal style, and head downstairs. I struggle to open the door, but I try anyways. I finally get it to open, then I close it behind me, not caring to lock it. I open the backdoor of my car and lay Hope on it. I go to the driver's seat, and take one look back at Hope. "You're going to be fine, Hope. You're going to be fine," I whisper, assuring myself.
I start the car and drive as fast as I can to the nearest hospital, which was 45 minutes away from my home. Just my luck. At this point, I have exceeded the speed limit, but I didn't care, because I have much more important problems to deal with right now. One of them including getting Hope as fast as I can to the hospital. I don't know what happened to her, or what caused her to faint all of a sudden, but the question that still lingers in my mind is, when did she even faint? Did she faint at night when I was sleeping? Did she faint at the morning? She was close to the door when I found her only minutes ago, so there are two possibilities here; she felt something at night, wanted to come get me, but failed and fainted in the process, or she woke up in the morning, head pounding, wanted to go downstairs to get a pain killer, but fainted before having the chance to open the door. Those sounded convincing, but I won't rest until I know the real problem. Did I not hear anything at all when I was sleeping? I swear I heard a light thud, but I was too busy sleeping my butt off, and I let it slide, thinking it was nothing important. Boy, was I wrong.
Ever since I found Hope, I promised myself that I would do anything to keep her safe. She was minutes away from getting assaulted by a filthy man if I wasn't there to stop it. I can't even think about what would've happened if I wasn't out that night. I take it as my responsibility to keep Hope safe and relaxed at all times. I promised myself that I'll help her find her brothers, even though I know she'd tell me not to, which is why I didn't tell her -I kept it to myself. I was going to help her, whether she likes it or not. I do hope nothing bad happens to her, because I can't fathom the thought of something bad happening to her, at all. It makes my head hurt only thinking about the negative things that could happent to her, causing my heart to ache. Call me a fool, call me an idiot, but I have fallen for this girl. This girl whom I've only known for 2 months, this girl whom I saved, this girl who has found my light in the darkness. She gave me hope once again.
Before she came into my life, I had lots of problems with my family. They wanted me to do whatever the hell they wanted, they wanted their kids to go to university so that they'd be abel to show off in front of other parents. They didn't care about what I wanted to do, what my dreams were, what I had in mind. No, they simply wanted me to do what they wanted to happen ever since I was born. They never thought about what I wanted, and that's the reason why I am now living by myself, away from them. They live in Bradford, but I went to live in London. Although it's still the same country, I wanted to be in a city away from them. I wonder what Hope's parents were like. Did they care about her dreams? Did they want her to become whatever she wanted to become? Were they like my parents?
I was too tangled in my thoughts, I didn't hear a faint whisper come from Hope. I don't know if she even let out a breath, but she mumbled something else a few moments later, and my heart started to flutter. Did she regain her consciousness? We reached the hospital, but Hope still haven't opened her eyes, only mumbling things every now and then. I parked the car, but didn't get out. I took my seatbelt off, and turned my head back to look at Hope.
"Hope?" I ask. I hope she hears me. I hope she opens her beautiful light brown eyes that I've been longing to see.
"Mmm," is all she answers. Oh my God, she's going to wake up soon.
She doesn't say anything else after that, and I panic.
Hope wake up.
You can't mumble things and then just stop, wake up. Please. For me.
I get out of the car and rush to get Hope. I carry her bridal style again and enter the hospital. I go to the emergency room, trying to find a nurse who wasn't busy helping someone else.
"Excuse me!" I shout to one of them.
"Yes sir?" she replies. She looks at Hope, who was laying peacefully in my arms, and her eyes widen.
"Sir, I'll be right back with you. I'll set up a room for her, and we can check what happened with the doctor." I give her a forced smile, wondering what on Earth was going to happen next.
Hope, I hope you're okay.
She'll be fine, a voice in my head speaks. She'll be fine. She's Hope. She's faced more bad things in her life, from what she's told me, she can face this. She can do it, I just know it. Hope won't leave me, no. Not at all.
The nurse comes back to me again, and ushers me to follow her into a room. Another nurse soon joins her to help me lay Hope on the bed. "The doctor will be here shortly, but first we need to make a few checks on her. Would you mind going out of room for a couple of minutes?" one of them says.
"But what if she wakes up in the middle of this, and doesn't find me near her?" I urgently ask.
"Don't worry sir. If your girlfriend does call for you, we'll inform you as soon as possible," she says, not waiting for me to answer. I only nod, making my way towards the door slowly, looking back at Hope one last time before exiting.
You'll be fine Hope, you'll be fine.
