Harry's POV

When we arrive at the hotel Zayn is running in and out of his guest's room. Over the past hour we've been here i've seen a doctor with a stand and rolling boxes. Just a little over five minutes ago a machine started beeping. Zayn won't let us see inside the room and he never stays still to answer any of our questions. All we know is that the guy's name is Evan and he's different. Different how? Gay? Deaf? Loud? Maybe he's the opposite of Zayn and is bouncing off the walls the whole trip. This is the first time Zayn has had a plus one on the tours, usually he flies people in for a show but they never travel with us like my sister or Louis'. The fact that he raised his voice at Niall last night was evidence that he was nervous and serious about the situation. For now i just want to know what all the fuss is about.

For the time being we sat in the hall chatting while our luggage is being brought up and our rooms are being cleaned. Lou sits across from me and throws bits of popcorn at me as i throw left over nuts from the plane. Zayn's phone goes off and he practically jumps over us as he runs to the elevator. "Excuse me if you don't mind standing when they come back up we don't want anyone falling." The doctor says and i stand next to him as they wait for Zayn to get back. I introduce myself to him and shake his hand, i try to ask him for information but Zayn has put a lock on him too. The walky talky on his side sends an unfamiliar voice loud and clear telling him they had to stop at the third floor and start up the stairs. Next to the elevator Paul stands and i walk down the hall to the guys and they ask what i've been asking and all i can give them is an I don't know.

We pass by the room Zayn's been in and out of the whole day and our smell senses burn from the disinfectant. Tubes and machines are sprawled around the room near the bed and black suit cases fill the side wall and i take note that there are 2 beds. "We're coming!" We hear Zayn's voice and the doctor starts running towards us to the room. Shushing us all Zayn comes in running- with a body? We move to the opposite wall and look in confusion.

"Zayn you're going to make me puke slow down." The person in his arms mumbles and he slows to a quick walk. They pass us and the smell of hand sanitizer almost makes me cough. A woman in blue scrubs runs up behind them.

"She has 5 more minutes of air, i don't care if she pukes get her in there." She orders and Zayn starts to run again and we all stop our stare as they disappear in the room.

"Well that was something." Niall speaks up and everyone goes back to what they were doing. We end up inching towards the mystery behind the door and press our ear to the walls. 

"Stop snooping." Lou throws another popcorn at me and it distracts me and the floor is once again trashed by us. Throughout the moment we hear laughter and 'ouch'es from the room and the beeping started again and Zayn yelling a few times. Zayn walks out with a smile we haven't seen in a while and goes to his room.

...

After we finally get settled in our rooms we are all called downstairs for dinner. Just as the elevator doors are closing Zayn finally comes out and opens the door to the other room and i lose my only chance to get all my questions answered. I sit next to Gemma and Lou as we watch Louis and Niall go back and forth from the buffet and the table making a pile of plates full of food. The doors open and Zayn walks in and not alone. The nurse that was once in blue scrubs is now in blue jeans and a polka doted t-shirt. But what catches my eyes and probably everyone else is the person Zayn is rolling in by wheel chair. A girl i see clearer has a grey beanie, a dark grey sweat shirt, black jeans and converse. A water bag hangs on the pole connected to the chair and a clear tube runs across her face under her nose.

Zayn takes her to the buffet line and i secretly watch as she points to the food and Zayn fills her tray. Zayn smiles at her and she smiles back. They play around as they go through it and Jean stops them at the end and they start to talk and out of nowhere Jean laughs. Now if you don't know Jean is apart of the never smiling/laughing part of management and takes all this a little too seriously. They head for our table and i can see everyone silently panic. "Guys." Zayn says as he removes the chair and she slides in next to me.
