I'm sorry for any typos, I haven't edited it yet... Enjoy!!

Perrie's POV.

When I wake up, I feel the tickling grass beneath me. I also feel the soft fabric of a blanket on my body. Hmm, I don't remember when I got this on me. I do remember I brought it with me in my backpack, but I left it at Claire's hotel, and he took it with him in his bag. I said he could have it, because his shirt was wet. Maybe I stole it from him in my sleep. Yes, that's it probably. I mean, he wouldn't give it to me right? I open my eyes to look at him, and when I do, I'm shocked.

'Oh my god!!' I scream in shock. His eyes shut open and in no time, he sits up. Then a groan escapes his lips. I crawl over to him and gesture for him to lay down again.

'Sitting up only makes it worse, I guess.' I say softly. He nods.

I let my fingers softly trace along the line of his cut, which is now red and swollen. He cringes in pain and he's heavy breathing. I can't help but feel sorry.

'Uhm, I.. I don't know how this could happen.. But it's gonna be okay.' I try to calm him down. Well, actually, I try to calm down myself, because he seems pretty calm, and I seem to freak out.

'Easy, Perrie, easy.' Zayn soothes, 'Get some water, I suggest we have to get it clean.' He says calmly, grabbing my arm. I nod and get up. I didn't even notice I was half on his lap, until now. It probably only caused him more pain. Smart Perrie, very smart.

I quickly kneel down at the stream, and rip the other sleeve from my blouse off. I make it wet again, and also fill the bottle with fresh water, for him to drink. I hastily walk back to Zayn and kneel down beside him. He looks at me and sighs.

'Did you rip off the other sleeve too?' He asks.

'Yea..? Why not?' I ask, not understanding. Why wouldn't I do it, I mean, it's not like I have another choice.

'You also could use the blanket.' He says, pointing to the blanket I've put off me a while ago. I groan and mentally face palm myself. Why didn't I think about that? I could easily use that, because who needs a blanket in this hot summer? I don't and Zayn does neither.

'I'm such an idiot.' I whisper to myself. I hear Zayn chuckle and I can't help but smile. Then I think about his infection and it's really bad, and I can't have any distraction right now.

I clean up, what seems like a sort of pus what comes from the wound and drip a few water drops in the cut. I see his jaw clenching, but he doesn't say anything.

'Tell me if it hurts, okay? I don't want to hurt you.' I tell him softly.

'Okay... It hurts.' He says.

'I'm sorry.' I apologize. I really feel bad for him and I'm mad at myself that I wasn't always paying attention to Clarissa's nurse lessons. If I did, I'd know hundred percent sure how to fix this. Now, I just do something. I'm not sure what I'm doing. I think cleaning up what's damaged first is the most import, then I'll try to fix it.

'Perrie, we don't have all the time in the world, you know? The police will find us soon.' Zayn reminds me.

'Stop distracting me, Zayn.' I tell him, 'Did you bring a first aid kit with you?'

Please say yes, please say yes

'No.' He answers. Damn.

'Uhm, okay, then we have to see what the nature has to offer us.' I say. He nods.

'Stay here.' I demand, as I get up.
