Opposites ~ n.h (rewriting)

Chapter 7: Why did you save me?

"Shit." Is all I manage to say as I kneel down beside him to see where the blood comes from. I lift his shirt and immediately see that the blood is gushing out of a deep wound in his abdomen. Why did he come to my place to get help? How does he know where I live? "What the hell is going on, Luna?" Zayn rushes out of his bedroom, down the hall to see who is laying on the ground. "Call 911!" I shout in his as I try to put as much pressure on the wound as possible. "Zayn! Wake the fuck up and call the fucking ambulance! Harry!" Zayn is in a trance and slowly the blood drains from his face. "What the-" Harry sprints out of my room. "Shut up! Call 911 and get Zayn out of here!" I focus back on Niall. He's pale and I know there's not much time. "Zayn, let's go." Harry stays, grabbing him by the arm as his phone is pressed to his ear. "Yeah, we have a guy laying in our doorway and he's bleeding to death. Can you please get us an ambulance?" I hear Harry say. He sounds impatient as he answers all kinds of questions. For a brief moment Niall opens his eyes. "Niall? Can you hear me?" I ask him. "Hmm" Is all I get from him. "Niall, I need you to lay still and stay with me okay?" "Hmm" I can hear he's getting weaker. "Niall, come on. You can do it. Just stay with me." I practically scream in his face. "It hurts." He moans. "I know, I know. Just try to stay still." I wipe the sweat off his face with his shirt. Sirens are heard and soon enough the ambulance has arrived and they're carrying him away. 

"Wow, that was something." Harry says, plopping down on the couch with a sigh. "Yeah." Is all I say. "How did you handle that so well?" Harry asks. I give him a look. "I'm a Med student, dork. I get this all the time, plus, this is just some basic First Aid shit." I notice Zayn sitting in the corner, his face still pale and not saying anything. I walk up to him. "Zayn, what's going on?" All he does is look at me, anger flashing in his eyes. Why is he angry?  "He deserved it." He speaks. I gasp. What the hell?! "Zayn, you don't mean that." I say soflty. "Hell yeah, I do." "Zayn, why don't we all go to bed and see if we can visit Niall in the morning, okay?" Zayn just nods, and disappears into the bedroom. "Let's go, Harry." I say, turning to him. "How can you sleep after this?" He asks, clearly surprised. "Because I'm tired and I still have school tomorrow." I state, dragging him into my bedroom.

 I wake up the next morning with a heavy headache. Deciding to skip school today, I take an Advil and crawl back in bed. "Hey, don't you have school today?"Harry asks from beside me. "I'm staying home. I have a killer headache, I want to talk to El since she has a day off and I need to visit Niall." I explain, already getting out of bed at the thought of how much I want to do today. "Wait, who is El?" Harry asks. Really? Out of all the questions he could have asked he asks who El is? "Eleanor is a friend, you know her." I say as I quickly get dressed. "Oh, miss Eleanor Jane Calder! Yeah I know her." Harry winks. "Stalker much?" I joke. Harry raises his hands as if it's not his fault. "I'm going to see if Zayn is awake." I walk out of the room and knock on the door at the guest bedroom. "Coming." Zayn says, his voice sounding sleepy. "What is it?" He smiles as he opens the door. "I'm going to visit a friend, so you can stay here with Harry and I was hoping that when I come back we could visit Niall?" I ask him. "Uhm, yeah sure. Have fun at your friend's." He smiles and closes the door again. I grab a granola bar and eat it on my way to El's flat. 

"Spill." Is all Eleanor says as we sit down on the couch, a cup of tea in our hands. "Well, I went to the movies with Harry and outside Zayn and Niall were having an argument-" "Wait, Zayn was the guy you had a date with and Niall was that asshole kid, right?" Eleanor interrupts me. I nod and continue with the story. " As I said, they were having an argument about Niall not taking any responsibilities and that the only thing he takes is drugs. Apparently he has a little sister he takes care of. Anyways Zayn told me earlier that Niall was like his little brother, and that he would do anything to keep him safe. After the argument I saw Zayn walk away, looking very disappointed. I texted him after the film and he asked if he could come over, but when I arrived at the building he was already sitting on the pavement, his nose bleeding and eye swelling. I asked him what happened and he said that Niall betrayed him and that it was Niall who beat him up. I let him stay at my flat, in the guest room." I emphasized the guest room so Eleanor wouldn't get any filthy thoughts in that little dirty mind of hers. "Harry and him had a little reunion since they worked in a restaurant together when Zayn lived in London. After chatting until late in the evening we went to bed. I woke up from someone knocking on the door. I opened it to reveal Niall standing there and all he said was 'need help' before he collapsed on the floor. He lost too much blood. It looked like he was stabbed or something. So that's basically it." I took a deep breath and a sip of my tea. Eleanor just sat there, her mouth open. "You'll catch flies." I chuckled. "Damn, girl! That is one story to tell." I nodded. "Wait, why aren't you at Uni?" She suddenly asks. "I decided not to go. I'm going to the hospital with Zayn later." 

Eleanor and I chatted for a while when eventually she had to go to Uni and I decided it was time to go to the hospital before the visiting hours were over. I walked in my flat. "Zayn, let's go." He just nodded stood up and followed me to the car. We drove in silence and after 20 minutes - fuck traffic - we finally arrived at the hospital. Zayn walked up to the desk. "Hello Miss, can I ask you something." He said politely. "Of course." The woman smiled. "I'm looking for my friend, he was brought here with and ambulance early this morning, do you have an idea on what section and in what room he his?  We would like to visit him." The woman looked at him sympathetically. "I'm sorry, he's not allowed to have anyone over besides family." "I'm the only family he has." Zayn said. The woman finally told us after a lot of convincing. 

He stood in front of the door of Niall's room, not making any move to walk in. "Do you want me to go first?" I asked. He nodded, walking over to one of the chairs outside the door and sitting down. I opened the door and took a quick peek around the corner to see if he was asleep. He was awake, staring at the white wall in front of him. "Niall-" He interrupts me by putting his finger on his lips and pointing to a chair. There was a small girl curled up in it, fast asleep. I'm assuming that's his little sister. "Niall, I want to ask you something." I whispered, getting closer to the bed and grabbing a chair from behind me. "Ask." He says still staring at the wall. "Why did you come to my house? How did you know where I live?" "I followed Zayn, and hit him.  I asked him where he was going, he said he was on his way to your house. I was mad at him for saying that I wasn't taking any responsibility for my sister. I came to your house because I knew he would be there and I was hoping that he would help me. I was surprised when you opened the door but at that point I didn't care. Why did you save me?" He finally turns his head to look at me. "Listen, you may be world's biggest asshole, and you may do drugs and all that but Zayn told me one night that you were a nice lad and I know how much he cares about you. I knew you had a little sister and I couldn't let someone take you away from her and Zayn." I smile looking at the little girl sleeping in the chair, mumbling something in her sleep. "Thank you, if you wouldn't have opened the door, my little girl would be left alone, with no family." "I couldn't let that happen." We sit in silence for a while. "Zayn is here, I think you guys need to talk." I speak up. Niall nods and I walk into the hall to get him. 

An hour later and I'm here in the hall waiting for Zayn to come out. Occasionally I can hear someone raise their voice  but they quiet down quickly. Finally the door opens and Zayn walks out, his eyes full of anger. "Let's go, I'm done here." He says. I don't trust him righ now. "Zayn, what did you do?" I ask him suspiciously. "Nothing. Let's go." He insists. Oh no, I'm going to check on Niall. "Fine, I will walk." He sighs angrily. I walk into Niall's room and see him, tears rushing down his face."Niall, what happened?" I sit down on the side of his bed. "He wants to take away my little girl." He chokes out. "Ni, are they going to take me away from you?" The little girl asks him, her eyes already filling with tears. "I won't let that happen, baby. Nobody can separate us, okay?" She nods and climbs up the bed, laying in her brother's arms. I smile, Niall seems to take really good care. "Thanks again, Luna. Without you we would've been apart and I would've broken my promise to her." He looks at me. "It's nothing really." I say. We have a quick goodbye and I leave the hospital with a smile on my face. I finally got some answers.

I just want to tell you this. Now the title of this book and the discription won't make any sense, but further in the story you'll get what the title is about.  Hope you like it so far xx 

Something else: I will try to update as much as I can, but school is in the way and I'm not allowed to be on my laptop as much as I used to, but I'll try and update every day.
