Uncradled Love *A Z.M. AU*

Chapter nine

*One week later*

Zayn's P.O.V.

It has almost been one week since I woke up to pounding head and realised that my left leg and right arm are badly fractured from the accident. SIce then, I was cursing myself continuously and praying to die. Waliyha was always there by my side and Safaa sobbed whenever I winced from pain. Mom brought me food and Dad kept a check on me. Anyhow, everytime I looked at Doniya, she was busy praying for me. I never told them the whole story or even replied to one of their comments and questions. Yes, this is my selfishness.

Everyday, every minute seemed like my last dime and I prayed it to be. I was shattering, the pieces of my soul were falling apart and no one seemed to notice. I just starred at the white ceilings for the whole day, thinking about her, praying for her and wishing her to be alright. Yes, I amditted now that I fell for her. And I fell hard with a loud "THUD".

I loved her, I love her and I always will.

I was doing the same activity of starring at the ceiling when the door bursted open and I heard a high-pitched voice,

"Carrots! Zaynie Boo's here."

That was Louis. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw them. My true old besties. Lou ran to me and Niall paced slowly. Obviously, he was busy eating his double-stuffed Oreos. Actually, practically stuffing them in his big mouth.

"Haaaallo." He said with his mouth full.

"Hey Nialler." I replied smiling for the first time in this week.

"Look Bunny. Zaynie isn't well. I feel bad for him." I heard Louis murmuring.

My head snapped to his direction and there he was talking to the Buggs Bunny on his shirt. I rolled my eyes on him.

"Lou! I have broken an arm and a bloody leg." I said faking an angry tone.

Louis nodded and returned to his Bunny.

"Sorry Bunny. Zaynie has broken an arm and a bloody leg." He patted his shirt imitating me.

That obviously left me in a fit of laughter as Niall eyed with "Are you seriously not feeling well?" look.

Louis' P.O.V.

I talked to Waliyha before entering Zayn's room and I was hurt. I was literally breaking after seeing my best mate in this state. He looked so hurt, fallen and yet depressed. He told me the whole story on my previous visit and I could tell you that the wounds on his soul and heart were way deeper than the ones on his body. Even then, I tried to make him smile by doing stupid things like I always do. But of no use. He just laughed externally just to show he was happy.

"Lou!" Zayn called me, bringing me back to reality.

"Yes Zaynie." I replied with a cheeky grin.

"Did you find Sarah?" He asked with a flash of hope in his voice.

Me and Niall were ordered by him to find Sarah since last week. We tried to talk to her in school and even followed her. But she changed her route everyday. SInce now, we were failing.

"No." I replied looking at the ground.

"Any trace of where she goes after school?" He asked again.

"She changes her route everyday, mate." I replied.

"Calm down, lad. We'll find her soon." Niall spoke up.

My head snapped to his direction in amazement. I mean he never even breathes when he has an Oreo in his hands. And then I understood that his Oreos were finished. Yeah, that's why he cared to console Zayn.

"Hopefully." Zayn replied with a deep sigh.

"Anyhow, when are you getting out of this damn hospital?" Niall spoke up changing the topic.

"I dunno." Zayn answered.

I sighed deep. This was not going to end well. I mean when Zayn Jawwad Malik is serious then you may find your place to hide.
