Fighting the fears

Chapter 10- wake up.

Chapter 11: wake up.

Alex's P.O.V.-

I wake up around 4 in the morning and find myself asleep on Niall's chest. I smile at the thought of being in his arms. I then realize I woke up because some one is screaming.. It seems to be close but it's not Niall.

"Get away!!"

What is that... I need to find that scream. I put my phone light on so I don't wake up Niall with the brightness of the rooms light. I walk slowly and the sounds stop.

"Noo!"

There it is again... Slowly but determined I walk over to Zayn's bed, he's not there. As I tread for the door I hear it again... I carefully twist the knob trying not to make to much noise. I find myself following the noise to the main room. There it is. The noise is coming from Zayn.

I quietly make my way over to the screaming body on the couch and find him asleep. He's laying in his boxers with no blanket and she's shivering. I take my hand and press it against his forehead. He's burning. I move my hand to his cheek. Freezing. He's sick. Poor baby, sick and having a nightmare. I have a mini battle with myself deciding whether to wake him or not and then decide to as soon as he screams again. He's breathing is very heavy so I instantly thought to shake his shoulder a little to wake him.

"Alex?" Zayn practically trembled as he woke.

"Yeah I'm here are you okay? Your burning and you were screaming." I ask while I kiss his forehead lightly and bend down to be eye level with him.

"I don't feel well and I'm cold." He says a little to shyly.

"I think you have a fever sweetie.. We need to get you to bed. Let's go."

"Oh-uhm... I really don't want to get Niall sick... There's a spare room here too."

Of course there is.

"Okay let's go there." I grab his hand and use my body to support him as I drop his hand and reconnect it to his waist.

As we walk into the spare room I see the huge bed and connected bathroom. It's beautiful. I walk over to the bed and help Zayn under the covers. I sit next to him and gently play with his hair.

"Alex.." I hear as I get up to go back to bed.

"I thought you were asleep sorry!" I said, slightly guilty and sad that I was going to leave him alone.

"Stay with me?"

"Yeah of course, let me get you another blanket first."

"In the closet." Zayn whispers just loud enough for me to hear.

"Here you go." I lay the blanket on top of the cute sick boy and walk around to the other side of the bed and get in.

Next thing I know Zayn is still shaking from being cold and I scoot closer to him and he wraps his arm around my upper waist. I flinch at the surprise and don't bother to move it. I like it there. I feel safe. I allow myself to snuggle into him and start to feel his cold body heat up.

"Thank you Alex." Zayn says calmly and gives me a weak squeeze.

"Anytime love." I say.

Following that, I hear his soft snores and his steady breathing. He's asleep and I'm slowly drifting. I relax my eyes a little more knowing he's okay and drift off completely.

(A/N- okay I'm so sorry for the waits and I'm losing views... Ugh I just can't always find time to write... I hope you enjoy this part and I'll try my best to update within the week... School is incredibly soon and I've been preparing for it like crazy! Sorry again and thanks to anyone who reads!)
