The Intern

Chapter 5

It's Saturday and I feel like just being home. I was on my laptop and I was listening to Ed Sheeran.

"And I see fireeee! Inside the mountain..." I was singing until my phone started to ring. It's Sarah.

"Hey there girl!" She said excited. I've been talking to her a lot and I love this girl.

"Hey babe! What' up?"

"So, i'm having a little get together, just girls though, and we are going to sleep here in my house. Niall is working so he's not coming home tonight. Wanna come?"

It will help me get my mind of all the stress. At least i'm not home, where my mom is depressed and my brother is not here.

"Sure!" I was excited.

"I'll pick you up at 7pm. See you later!"

I got out of my room and went to my mom's room. She was locked there since yesterday.

"Mom?" I knocked at the door.

"Yes?" She said between tears.

It breaks my heart to see her like this, but there's nothing I can do anymore.

"I'm going to sleep at Sarah's house. Will you be ok?"

"Yes honey, have fun."

"Love you, mom"

I heard her stop sobbing and her breathing was getting normal.

"Love you too, princess"

I smiled and prepared myself.

*********

"This is Hana, Beth and Nessa. Hana is my sister and the other two lovely girls are my best friends" Sarah said, welcoming me at her home. 

"Nice to meet you girls!" I smiled and they smiled back.

They all hugged me and after all the presentations we went to Sarah's room.

"Sarah told me that you and Zayn are getting along pretty good" Hana looked at me with a smirk on her face.

"Yeah, we could say so" I smiled with the thought of Zayn.

"Beth there always had a crush on him" Nessa said.

Beth blushed and placed both hand on her face. Poor thing! I smiled at her reaction.

"Hey, I understand! He's something special and hot as fuck!"

We all laughed and I remembered another greek god.

"I have a friend that you might enjoy" I said.

On my phone, I went to Facebook and went to Harry's profile. I smiled seeing him with that stupid bandana on his head but he looked good. I showed them and they all opened their mouth.

"Wow" Beth said.

"I knoooow!" I exclamated.

"DIBS!" Hana shouted and they all started to punch her, except for Sarah.

The night was going well. It was about 3am and they were all falling asleep but I had the energy like a chihuahua. I was watching a movie when I got a phone call. It's Zayn.

"Zayn?" I asked.

"I need y-your hel-p" His voice was fainted and he sounded hurt.

"Are you ok? Where the hell are you?" I got up and started to put my shoes on.

"I'm by the ri-ver, near the restaurant we had lunch the fir-st time. Hu-rry, please" 

And he hang up. I started to walk out when a voice called me.

"Jessie?" Sarah said. "Where are you going?"

"Sorry honey. Zayn called and he is needing me"

She looked at me and hugged me.

"Thank you for tonight. Make sure to be safe and take really good care of him."

I hugged her back and her talk was suspicious. Be safe? Take care of him? What the hell?

Sarah's house was near the river, wich helped get me there faster. When I got there, due to the darkness I couldn't see a thing. The lights were weak and I had to try my best to see.

"Zayn?" I shouted.

"H-here" 

I heard Zayn's weak voice next to me and I found him in a minute. I could barely see wich gave me an idea that was useful when I got here, but just remembered now. I got out my phone and used the flashlight. I ponted to him and he closed his eyes due to the light. My heart just dropped and my eyes started to water, making my breathing heavier to the sight of Zayn lying there on the floor. He had blood streaming from his eyebrow and from his mouth. He had a bruised eye and I saw blood on his white shirt. He was really hurt.

"Zayn, what happended?" I cried.

"Don't ask that now. Just take me to my house" His voice was weak.

"I need to take you to the hospital!"

"But..."

"No Zayn, I'm going to take you to an hospital now"

"My car is in the restaurant park"

I tried to lift him up and he was heavier than I thought. I walked him to the car and I placed him in the backseat. Thank God my dad gave me some drive lessons. I started the car and drove him to the hospital.

"Mrs. Jones?" A doctor entered the patient room.

"Yes?" I walked to him.

"Zayn is stable. He just needs to be here for a few more hours to observation but he's going to be fine."

"Can I see him?"

He nodded and lead me to Zayn's room. He leaved me alone and I walked in, seeing Zayn lying in the bed with his eyes closed. I walked to him and he, even with bruises and stitches on his face, looked perfect. I touched the part of his face that had no bruises and he opened his eyes. Those oh-so-perfect hazel eyes.

"Jess?" His voice was really weak.

"I'm here" I hold his hand. I wanted to cry again.

"Hello" He smiled and I smiled back.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"I'm better now" He squized my hand.

We looked at each other and I could feel It. There's some kind of thing between us that I couldn't describe It.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Jessie, I can't tell you. You would not understand and I just can't risk loosing you."

"You are going to lose me if you continue to lie to me."

"You will not accept it" He said with a sad face.

"Try me, Zayn. My life is so full of bullshit right now that even if you kill people I would still be your friend" We both laughed.

"If you run away from me, I will never forgive myself from telling you. I just can't live without you right now" He said.

"I'm not going to run away" I said, slowly.

He took a deep breath and started to talk.

"I'm a thief, Jessie"
