Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 33

Zayn woke up with a start, sitting up in bed. What even was the time? His eyes adjusted to the darkness as he looked around him. Harry was snoring beside him, mouth open. It has to be early if Harry the early bird was still asleep. He shivered feeling the coldness in his feet when they touched the floor but he needed the toilet, explaining why he woke up. He found Harry's slippers and wore them walking quietly to the bathroom for a much needed relief.

As he washed his hands he stared at himself in the mirror. Bed hair was not a good look on anyone and he was no exception. When he was done he carried on with his morning routine, and was halfway brushing his teeth before he realised what he's just done,

"What am I doing?" He mumbled. What was even the time?

Whatever time it was he was wide awake now and thought best to check on his children. Their new house is a two storey house, others would call it a mansion as it was massive. Because hello, they have hundres kids. Anyhoo, the bedrooms were split to right and left wings. So, he started on the left wing, where the boys and Yazz's bedrooms were. The boys first, he opened their door they were asleep, closing it slowly, next was Yazz's and she was as well. Asleep. Her hair was all over the pillow, so much of it. She was in need of a trim. Would it be creepy to check on the nanny, probably. He checked on the half of his children, Maddy, Toni and Amelia. The twin girls shared a room and a bed, even though they had separate beds.

Lastly he checked on Amelia, her door was opened to let in the light from the hallway. He could hear gurgling sounds as he came closer to her room. She sounded like she was choking. Rushing in, he switched the bedside light on, immediately his feeling something wet on his hands.

"Shit, shit, shit.." he curse seeing blood pouring from her nose.

Amelia whined at being woken up as Zayn picked her up.

"Daddy.." she calls him that.

"It's okay, Milly.." he managed to grab towels from her closet, blood dripping on the carpet. Somehow he kept calm, cradling her in his arms, making his way to his bedroom.

"Haz.." he rubbed Harry's cheek gently with the back of hand to wake  him. When Harry didn't wake he smacked him across the cheek. He wasn't proud of that, but desperate measures, the situation called for them. Amelia's nose was dripping.

"What..what?" Harry bolted upright waking up, having to shield his eyes with his arm when Zayn switched on the light. 

"Amelia has a nosebleed, Haz.." Zayn sat on the floor, with her on his lap. He tilted her head back, or was he supposed to do that. He's never had a nosebleed and neither had Amelia. "Harry, wake up..open your eyes for goodness sake. I need your help."

"..the light is too bright.." Harry groaned.

"So is Milly's blood, Mr Vampire.."

"What?" Harry maybe got up too quick as he fell as soon he was on his feet, his head made a painful contact with the nightstand, "fuck.."

Zayn would have scolded him for  foul language, but he felt Harry's pain. "Get the ice.." he said.

"It's not that bad..I'm okay." Harry mumbled.

"For Milly, Harry not, you.." maybe Zayn said that too loud, Amelia whimpered. "Sorry, babe. Make a move on, Harry, will ya?" he whisper shouted.

Not liking the sight of blood, when Harry caught sight of the blood, his legs felt wobbly again. He soldiered on, hobbling to Zayn and tripped nearly falling on top of them.

"No, you don't.." Zayn sat up pushing him towards the door, "Get me frozen peas or an ice pack.." he sat Amelia down with towels around her.

Harry however didn't move, all he saw was blood, blood, everywhere. He felt sick, and started to look pale.
