 Chapter 11

After Liam's slip up, the whole room went extremely quiet. Niall suddenly started feeling hot and his eyes started burning with fear.

Everyone was agitated, but as his eyes landed on Zayn he got confused. The black-haired man was smiling to himself.

"Oh right, with our schedules we decided we will marry after we get some time. I'm surprised we still work like we used to back in earlier days. I thought we must've been in control now", he sadly stated afterwards.

To say that they felt relief is an understatement. But his words also brought a realization of reality.

Louis forced a smile and others started laughing awkwardly to fill the silence.

"Yeah right! Little mix is still working and going strong", Harry muttered and Zayn didn't catch the lie.

Harry just smugly smiled. He was happy he didn't lie, he just didn't tell him a half-truth. Lying to Zayn was breaking everyone's heart, but it was a prerequisite.

They were once again rescued by Shirley, the saviour, as Louis likes to call her. He just shook his head wondering how he tends to joke in serious situations.

She checked his health chart, gave him some medicine and asked him some routine questions.

The rest just stayed hush. Liam got busy rubbing Trisha's back as she still had tears in her eyes.

After Shirley was gone, Zayn got really quiet which no one expected. They thought he would shower them with questions, he was so excited when he woke up.

But all he did was hold his Mom and close his eyes. They knew he was awake cause he was rubbing his hand on her back. "What's wrong Zayn?", Louis puzzled.

"I miss her", he whined. They told him she was on her way, so he didn't want to pester her, but he still was hurt she was not by his side.

Zayn was staring straight towards Liam, expecting him to answer, who was just one hand away from him.

But Liam couldn't lie, not when Zayn was expectantly looking at him with those attractive brown eyes.

"She has sent you an apology, trust me she is as hurt as you that she couldn't be here. You know how our management is, they won't allow her to leave everything that easily", Louis explained so easily that Zayn believed him.

He also realized that the first time they lied about her departure but decided to stay quiet. Niall proudly looked at the older lad.

He always suspected that he was the best liar among them. He didn't trust himself though, so he decided to stay as mute as possible around Zayn.

But he knew Zayn smelled something fishy, he is really smart. The amount of understanding he was showing in spite of all this, really surprised him.

None of the boys would be so calm and composed right now. Only Zayn has the ability to survive anything forced upon him. Maybe that's because of all the hardships he has faced throughout his lifetime.

Only two people were allowed in his room. Shirley told them that he was recovering physically and soon will be discharged. That's where the real problem would begin for them though.

Harry and Louis decided to stay. They knew Liam and Niall couldn't even talk in front of Zayn without stuttering.

Trisha left for home with Gigi. The young girl was seen staring at the wall when they went out of the room.

Her condition was worsening and she was considering showing her to a psychiatrist.

After hearing Zayn's conversation about Perrie, all her remaining strength washed away. For the first time ever, she wanted to run away from Zayn.

In his room, Zayn was being fed by Harry and Louis. They were trying their best to keep him as busy as possible so he won't ask them any painful questions.

Zayn knew they were lying and hiding about a lot of things. But watching his grown-up mates, still looking at each other with the same love made him stop with the questions. Even if it was a lie, he wanted to live and enjoy it for a few days.

"What's up with your hair Harold?", he abruptly asked and the younger boy looked up with a smile, showing his all familiar dimples.

"Did you like it? I cut them two years ago", he answered with a playful smirk. Louis knew that it was going to be a long conversation so he just got busy putting dishes away.

Zayn gave out a peal of beautiful laughter before speaking, "You look beautiful anyhow babe, but why did you cut it? I thought you had a plan of growing your hair forever!"

"I worked in a movie two years ago, it was called Dunkirk and guess whose movie it was?" Harry excitedly chirped like a small child.

Zayn had the same excitement and surprise in his eyes when he looked at his mate.

"Christopher Nolan!", Harry screamed and Zayn joined him too. Louis was watching the whole scene with a huge grin on his face.

The relationship between these three really messed up as they grew up, Niall and Liam were always neutral but they knew something was odd.

And now they were all in the same room; adoring, caring and loving each other like brothers.

Here, on the other side, Liam and Niall went to meet Shirley to talk about Perrie.

"I think we should try and call her here", the doctor sighed and Liam's eyes grew wide.

"You mean we have to ask her to join our act? She would never say yes to it", the once blonde boy hopelessly stated.

"She is right Nialler, that's our only chance", Liam said while sitting on the window sill of her cabin. He picked his phone and Niall and Shirley joined him as he kept it on speaker.

As the phone was ringing he looked out. The fans started screaming as they saw him so he closed the curtains. If only they knew the real condition. But telling them would only raise panic.

"Hello. Liam?", came a sweet and strong female voice. Niall's heart was beating fast and he was thankful that it was Liam who had to speak.

She already knew about the accident and was worried about Zayn. Without wasting any time Liam explained to her the whole situation. His fingers were crossed and the voice was trembling.

"What do you expect guys? I can't do this. I cannot act as if everything is fine after what happened between us. I'm sorry!", saying that Perrie abruptly kept the phone.

She was in shock and was also crying. She needed some time so he didn't call her again.

"Now what?", Niall impatiently looked at Shirley. She was really composed and quiet throughout the call.

"I know a person who can convince her", she smiled, keeping a hand on his shoulder. She knew this person would convince Perrie and she won't be able to say no.
