Voices Numb: Zayn Malik

Chapter 11.

COLE'S POV:

I stumbled through Louis door into his darkened bedroom.

"Cole, what are you doing?"

My legs failed on me and I could no longer hold myself up. I clumsily sat down and my vision went blurry.

"Shit Cole, What the fuck happened?"

Louis ran over to the door and threw it open.

"CAN I GET SOME HELP IN HERE GUYS!"

Through my blurred vision I saw the guys run through the door. I saw them rushing around the room throwing things in a panic. I was propping myself up on the corner of Louis' bed. 

The next thing I saw were the checked pyjama pants of Zayn. 

"Cole, I need you to nod if you can hear me. Ok?"

I slowly nodded my head and he seemed relieved. 

"Guys I think she is going into shock."

He placed his hand on my forehead and then quickly moved to grab the pillows off Louis bed. 

"Cole, I need you to lie down if possible."

I tried to move my body but It was like my brain had just decided to stop receiving signals from my body. 

"Harry, Niall. I need to prop her legs up on these pillows to get the blood flowing more freely throughout her body."

Harry and Niall moved to help me lie down. Zayn grabbed my legs and propped them up onto the pillows. 

"Liam, I want you to go and call an ambulance, tell them she has some physical wounds but seems to be suffering more from shock. I am qualified in CPR but medical help as soon as possible would be good."

Liam ran out of the room to call an ambulance and Zayn ordered the other boys to wait out the front of the complex for the ambulance. When the boys left Zayn turned back to face me.

"Cole, to help in situations like this it's usually best if you loosen any tight clothing."

I didn't say anything but gave him a confused look. 

"Would you mind if I undid your bra?"

His face went a little bit red as he asked the question. I decided to save the boy from suffering in silence and nodded. 

He looked puzzeled as to why i was so silent but as I moved my head he saw the bruises on my throat. His hands were careful tracing the finger marks of Lillian.

He careful supported my back and unhooked my bra with his other hand. When he was done he gently laid me back down onto the floor of Louis' room. 

"Alright Cole, you are going to be fine. I need to keep you talking so stay with me ok."

"Ok." My voice sounded quiet and raspy. It didn't sound like me at all. 

He sat down onto the floor next to me and put his head in his hands, "Thank god for grade 11 Health and P.E huh."

I laughed silently along side him. 

"What happened to you?"

"Zayn, I'll explain later ok."

He nodded, "What's your favourite colour?"

"Do you really not know?" my voice was almost a whipser

"Of course I know but you need to keep talking and stay conscious."

"Ok, fine. It's red."

"What's your favourite food?"

"Ummm banana cake."

"Zayn, Cole the ambulance is here." Liam rushed through the door.

"Cole can you walk?"

I took Zayn's hand and slowly stood up. I balanced all my weight on him and but the time we made it down the stairs he was carrying me.

I was put on a stretcher when the nurses walked through the door but Zayn refused to leave my side.

"Cole, look at me..."

He moved my head slowly to look at him.

"You are going to be fine.. I swear. In fact I promise."

That's when the tears started. Not through the abuse I was recieving from Lillian; not through the flash backs of the moment that ruined my life; not even the moment that I thought I was going to die. But the moment in which I finally understood my feelings for Zayn.

They were so strong that I felt literally overwhelmed. The feeling of wanting something but having no way; not at all of getting it. It was crushing.

I was the second time that night that I felt choked.

The tears were streaming down my face and I could see them streaming down Zayn's as I was carried into the ambulance.

But I guess that's what happens when you look at someone else crying. It's a natural reaction. Nothing more...

Author's note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while guys. I'm actually on a holiday in the Bahama's with my family :) WOO

I was sitting about 6cm away from my computer screen when writing this and I have been attracting some strange looks from people around me in the cafe. Which by the way is the only place within walking distance of my hotel with wifi ...
