ZIONS POV:

The time was late as the sky was still a significant black hue, I pulled into our driveway as I looked at aria for the first time since bringing her back she was fast asleep her head tilted on the side resting against the window as she looked weak and broken, my heart sunk at the image that lay in front of me how could someone so pure and gorgeous still hold such embrace even when her dress was torn, knees scratched and cuts on her legs I stopped the car slowly as Edwin spoke softly from the back
"You should stay with her she needs you"
With that he left the car to the door I sat in silence for a few seconds before backing the car out and driving to arias house I parked up and got out of my seat I opened the door with the code as I didn't have my keys and shoved the wedge to hold it open
I walked back over to the car to pick her up holding her legs and back bridal style I carried her into the house shutting the door with my left leg behind me the lights were all off as I carried her up to her room I laid her down as she shuffled in her sleep, I tried to stay as quiet as possible as I took off her shoes and mine placing them at the end of the bed

"Caleb" she whispered as I turned around to be seen with aria awake on the bed I made my way over to her as a tear slipped from her eye
"Shushhh I'm here aria I came for you" I whispered brushing her dark hair through my fingers we hugged for a long time or what felt like in forever her heartbeat was irregular as I could feel it thump against my chest
"Relax" I said softly
"I know I I just can't" she said hesitantly
"Your heartbeats really fast aria" I said muffling as we were still hugging
"So is yours" she said letting her hand go up to my neck
" are you scared" she asked which took me by surprise
There was a long pause before I could even answer
"No aria I'm never scared not when I'm with you" I spoke finally as she let go of me...

"I feel disgusting Zion I need to shower and get dressed" she said liking down at herself
"Here come I'll help" I said grabbing her hand leading her to the bathroom
I ran the hot water which made the bathroom steamy as I helped her take off the murky slip dress she stripped easily as she stepped into the bath I got the loofa and put on a little shower gel making sure I kissed her cuts so it didn't sting I helped scrub her body and washed her hair before helping her get out with a towel
She laughed for the first time in what felt like forever as I peeked up watching her wrap her body in a fluffy white towel
"What" I said laughing
"I feel like I baby" she giggled "I can't even shower myself you know you didn't have to help" she said stepping out the bath
"Come here" I sat rolling my eyes setting her down on the bed I grabbed the aid box and took out the antiseptic with a cotton ball
"Well you know how this goes aria" I said playfully dabbing the alcohols onto the ball
"Nooo Caleb that shit hurts I know" she squirmed
"Babe you have to have this on I ain't letting you get more sick" I said seriously
Her face went soft as she watched me pull the ball closer to her skin
I dabbed it lightly on her knees and various cuts on her legs  as she winced slightly at the the pain I put a bigger plaster on the bigger cuts
I looked at her as she looked in pain her gaze fell on her arm as I noticed the bruise that was made on the top of her left arm just at that time I remembered seeing her stumbling across the yard with the off white bandage wrapped around her arm I snapped out of my thoughts as I held her arm slowly
"Zion it hurts so bad" she wept looking  at it I felt bad as I would switch places with her within seconds
"I know baby wait" I spoke remembering the bottle of morphine I kept from last time I had pain in my rib
I grabbed it and took a spoon
I gave her some as she drank the spoon

I let her get dressed as I jumped In the shower too I felt better showering as I scrubbed my body and washing my dreads once I got out I saw her laying in bed sh looked at peace as I got in beside her I put her phone and mine on charge as it switched on I looked over at mine when I saw I had 56 missed calls from Brandon, Austin, nick, char,  and many texts from multiple people too
I left my phone as I sunk my head into my pillow looking over at aria she was fast asleep

THE NEXT DAY
ARIAS POV:
I shuffled in my bed as I slept peacefully for the first time in days my cuts stung as I moved as my body felt rigid I saw Zion walk through with basketball shorts on and a hoodie as he held a tray of food I smiled at him as he walked over
"Call me the best boyfriend on the planet but I just made you some breakfast andddddd got you meds" he said happily
" awww" I spoke as I leant up to place a kiss on his lips
"So eat up and I'll let you know high medication is fo what I went to the medical store earlier and they gave everything" he nodded pulling out his phone
I bit into the toast as he laid next to me I gave him a bit as he put his face forward to have some
"I really appreciate this Zion" I said putting the toast down looking at him
"Aria baby shut the hell up I love you so this is a given and eat the toast" he laughed kissing me all over
"Okay okay" I said

3 HOURS LATER

I got dressed in a hoodie and my gym leggings as I walked slowly down the stairs I decided to watch some tv as I grabbed some strawberries to snack on I flicked through the channels until I stopped at the local news
"Two alleged former gang members were found dead at the scene of south bank dessert in California at 5 am, reports suggest the killer rafael Mahmoud, 21 killed his partner in crime known by the name of psycho our investigators have been live on the scene all morning believing that the gang specialised in the kidnappings of young females aged 14-25 to be sold on the black market magistrates court have spoken about the case issuing a life sentence of prison life for those who had part taken in the crime" I watched frozen on the tv screen as they showed pics of raf I had no words knowing that Zion killed them both made me silent but was I being selfish to not say anything I switched the tv off before sitting in silence on my couch

Zion came downstairs as he sat next to me
"How are you feeling" he asked looking into my eyes intently
"Better a lot better" I said with a faint smile
"Well I don't know f this is the right time to tell you but I think you'll be mad if I don't but jezmaries in hospital" he said pausing as I widened my eyes I covered my mouth in shock remembering that it was raf who shot her
"OH MY GOD JEZ" I cried
"Aria I had to tell you but don't worry she's in good care nick was with her in hospital and she's recovering fast" Zion spoke quickly at once
I gathered my emotions as I wiped my tears
"Come here" he motioned with his fingers pulling me into a hug
He looked down at me as I looked up at him
"Everything's gonna be fine okay" he spoke Zion's words seamlessly always calmed me it was like he had a drug in his voice that had a magical effect on my nerves but no one other than him knew me best and I knew we would stay by each other's side .
