Fallen || n.h.

Chapter 40 (aye turn up)

Niall's POV:

I wiped my mouth in disgust. Amanda had just forcefully kissed me against my will, and just my luck, the love of my life and my best mate saw. I was screwed.

" Let me help you.. " Amanda said, reaching out to help me up.

I pushed her hand away and stood up.

" I never want to see you again, Amanda. " I said in a low growl.

Hurt flashed in her eyes before she turned and stormed off down the hall. Good.

--- 3 WEEKS LATER ---

Jenna's POV:

I sighed as another hour ticked by in the hospital waiting room. I was really scared and worried about Louis. He had not been eating much after Stella left, and no matter how hard we begged him to, he refused.

We where lucky that Zayn found him when he did, the doctor said he was close to death. I surprisingly didn't cry as much as I thought I would, but that was because I had faith in Lou. He was too strong to just give up.

The boys on the other hand took it pretty hard. I think Liam and Harry took it the worst. They couldn't stop crying. I knew Niall was trying to be strong for them, but I could see right through his little façade.

Zayn was in shock, I think. He didn't speak or cry, he just stared off into space. I frowned as Harry let out another strangled sob.

I couldn't take this anymore. I needed some fresh air or this hospital aura would get to me. I decided I should tell Stella.

I got up and rushed outside into the parking lot before anyone could stop me. I found a bench and sat down, whipping out my phone. I clicked her contact and pressed the green call button.

" Hello? " she answered after a few rings.

" Hey. " I said, my voice cracking unexpectedly.

" Jenna? What's wrong? " she asked frantically.

" Stell..ever since you left, Louis hasn't been eating. We're at the hospital..he's really sick. The doctors aren't sure if he will make it.. " I said quietly.

The line was silent a long while before she spoke again. " Jenna..this is all my fault..I should've just forgave him. I'll be there in around two hours. "

" Stell it's not your fault that he cheated on you, you couldn't control that. "

" Well it's my fault he hasn't been eating, and it's my fault for not listening to what he had to say. " she snapped back.

" See you in two hours. " she said before I could reply, and hung up.

I let out a deep sigh and slipped my phone back into my pocket and looked up at the sky. It was a cloudy day, matching all of our moods.

Suddenly, the door to the lobby swung open and Zayn walked out, not even realising I was there. He whipped out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.

" Zayn..I thought you quit? " I asked softly.

He looked down at me and thought for a few seconds. " It relives stress. " he said, his voice hoarse from lack of use.

I nodded. I wasn't going to question him, we all needed to relieve our stress. Some just did it in other ways than others.

" Do you think.. " he said shakily, " Do you think Louis is gonna die? "

I swore I saw a tear fall from his eye as he asked me. If there was one, he didn't wipe it away.
