Chapter 17

Sarah's POV~~~

He loves me huh? Didn't think I'd hear that for awhile. Erik was the last boyfriend I had, his tol on my subconcious to big for me to want another relationship. He tore me down, but since then I've slowly been building back up. I was acually almost ready to datae again, until Zayn left without a goodbye.

His disapearance tore me up all over again, crushing my heart and shattering all of the happiness I knew. Okay, that was a little over dramatic I'll admit. It still hurt though! I'm feeling better than I did, the doctors let me out of the hospital the day after Louis confessed his feelings.

Zayn had stationed two seccurity guards outside of Amy's door, claiming that it was to protect her from paps. I just nodded along, not wanting to go into a full conversation while my little sister slept in the room behind him.

He opened the door for me and we slipped into the white room. Amy's pale body lie wrapped up to her waist in thin hospital blankets. I rushed over to her, tears already threatening to fall from my eyes. My younger sister, my Abug is suffering.

I pulled the ugy chair from the corner of the room and sat next to her bed, taking her small hand between my shaking ones. Her skin was cold to the touch, her warmth almost gone. I heard strange choking sound and thought for a moment. That noise was me though, I had started sobbing and Zayn was trying to comfort me from where he sat on the other side of her bed.

Little did he know, that the only person who could make me feel even slightly better; had flown to Doncaster to visit his sick sister. Lottie had come down with strange stomach flu, apparently it was bad enough to hospitalize her for a few days.

Zayn did inform me that she would live through it and just needed to be in the hospital so they could keep her under watch. It was really only a simple bug that didn't want to leave her. I surprised myself by speaking up.

"I don't know how I'm gonna survive this Zayn." I barley heard myself say that, so It shocked me when Zayn responded.

He stood from his chair and moved over to my chair. He lifted me from the seat and sat himself there, placing me on his lap afterwards. My left side was facing Amy's bed and my feet were dangling off the side of the chair.

Zayn was rubbing small circles in my back as I buried my head in his chest. I cried and cried until I finally managed to only let out small hiccups and sniffles. My best friend sat with me the entire time, whispering sweet nothings into my ear and kissing the top of my head.

I felt a few wet drops land on my scalp, but thought nothing of it. Even though I've only seen him cry a few times, it still makes my mind race when he gets that emotional. I looked up into his warm brownish eyes, smiling softly.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked quietly.

I kept smiling and shook my head. "Just thinking about how happy I am to have you as my best friend." I whispered back.

He grinned and pulled me into a comforting hug. Sure I had a plastic arm rest shoving into my spine and probably disorienting me forever, but at least this moment is safe. I pulled away from out moment and stood up on my own, ignoring the ache in my spine.
