Zayn woke up to something wet slobbering all over his face, making him scrunch his nose a little. He moved his face away only to hear soft whimpering coming from beside him. The boy narrowed his brows irritatingly and confusingly before finally fluttering his eyes open. He was met by the most adorable golden retriever puppy staring down at him with soft brown eyes and a cute smile, its tongue ticking out. The tail was swaying from side to side in excitement as he was finally awake, a cute bark coming from the small dog.

There was a big red bow wrapped around the stomach and a pink collar buckled around the neck with a heart chain dangling from it, Zayn just assuming that the puppy was a girl and considering the name carved into the metal chain was Angel. She also had another small pink bow clipped behind her ear.

Angel nudged her cold snout against Zayn's cheek and licked the spot afterward, giving him wet kisses. The boy believed that he was about to melt at the cuteness and he cooed softly, sitting up carefully and picking her up. Her fur was very fluffy and soft, Zayn nuzzling his nose into it and inhaling her sweet scent. Surprisingly, she smelled like Christmas.

He was still a little confused why there was a puppy in his bed until he saw a note on his covers, grabbing it. As Angel licked his chin, Zayn unfolded the piece of paper and read the note, a soft smile forming upon his lips.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart!

Your father and I decided to get you a small puppy to help you with your healing progress and to get back your beautiful smile. Hope you'll love Angel as much as we do already, she's a cutie.

Angel was a therapy dog that his parents bought him. His eyes watered a little at how thoughtful they were and looked down at the little girl, kissing her head. "You've already won my heart over." He whispered into her ear and Angel barked happily, squirming in his arm and attacking him with sloppy kisses.

There have been plenty of times where Zayn would beg for a puppy but his parents often came up with the excuse that they wouldn't have time to take care of one. And that he wasn't responsible yet to take care of a dog. But that wasn't true. He was a very responsible and reliable person. Now, he was just glad his parents finally got him one. He was gonna make sure to teach Angel a lot of tricks that would help her – and him – through a lot of things.

"Oh my gosh, she's so adorable!" Bella cooed in baby voice as she petted Angel, the puppy barking at her and jumping up, wrapping her forelegs around her arm. She was smiling with her tongue sticking out, loving the attention and petting she was receiving from the cheerleader.

Zayn chuckled. "I know." He replied and scratched at the puppy's butt, Angel moving it a bit in enjoyment. He smiled and looked over at his best friend.

Bella had come over an hour ago to check up on him. She even brought him a Christmas present to make him happy which it did because she got him his favorite marvel movie on DVD; Deadpool. She was overly excited when she found out Zayn had just gotten a puppy and now the two were busy snuggling with the small golden retriever. And Angel sure wasn't complaining about that.

"How've you been feeling?" The brunette haired girl asked him as she finally turned her attention towards Zayn. She picked up angel and placed her on her lap, continuing to scratch behind her ears and stomach.

"I'm still in pain." Zayn admitted and leaned back against the headboard. His entire body still hurt and it seemed like the pain was increasing, which was weird. But the pain somehow doubled over night.

Bella frowned. "Gosh, I'm really sorry, Zee." She looked down at the puppy and sighed. "You didn't deserve this."

"Stop being sorry Bella, it's not your fault."

"But–"

"Stop." Zayn gave her a certain look. "I told you this a million times, you didn't do anything wrong. So please stop apologizing. You're my best friend and I forgive you already now please, can you drop it?" He pleaded and looked at her, the girl nodded her head silently. She mumbled a small fine an kissed Angel's head, puffing with a small pout on her lips.

He hated when Bella blamed herself. It wasn't her fault. Sure, she sounded mean when he told her about it but she was mainly right. Yet that doesn't give her the right to apologize for something she didn't even do. He would often tell her that it was alright and that she should stop thinking about it whenever he mentioned that he was in pain, but for some reason, she just wouldn't. It made him sad knowing that she thought it was her fault.

The sixteen year old watched as Bella and Angel snuggled, the golden retriever puppy having already grown on him and her. He smiled at them and sighed softly, carefully shifting in his spot to get into a more comfortable laying position before closing his eyes and slowly relaxing. Before he knew it, he was falling asleep, his thoughts drifting everywhere and anywhere.
