On the Run (Zayn Malik fan fiction) [UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING]

Chapter 7

~Chapter 7~

Heather's POV

I was really tired, Zayn was right next to me and he looked really worried. I grabbed his hand and he jumped. He had been in his own little world and I took him out from there, I actually found that pretty funny. He smiled at me. I looked around the hospital room. It was a private room, away from the public. I did not like hospitals. Not since the last time I was in one. Just before the memories of that day could surface the doctor came into the room.

"Miss. Fields you have a concussion. You need to be very careful and you have to rest a lot today."

"Am I allowed to go back to my hotel and rest there or do I need to stay here at the hospital?" I asked.

"You can go to your hotel" he replied. 

"No, you're staying with us!" Zayn said.

"No I can't, you've already done enough" I replied.

"It would be better if you had people around you to keep an eye on you. It might be a good idea to head back to their place." The doctor responded

"I guess you're coming then," Zayn said with a smile.

We finally got out of there and were back to the house. All the boys were grouped in the living room waiting for our arrival, it appeared. 

"I am so sorry to worry you, this doesn't seem like a great first impression" I stated in an attempt to lighten up the mood. They chuckled lightly but still looked worried. 

"We are all just glad you are okay, go rest" Simon stated.

Zayn walked me to his room and told me to lay down on the bed and relax. He stayed by me for a while. It looked like he wanted to talk to me or ask me some questions but was too afraid to ask them. I looked at him, he had his head in his hands. I felt my heart beating faster banging on my rib cage, I had so many butterflies in my stomach, it even started to hurt a bit. He looked up and I froze. He stared at me and that just made the butterflies even worse. 

"What happened Heather? Why did you faint? Was it because of that phone call?" He asked me.

"I don't know I guess I was in shock from the conversation I had and fainted." I sighed at the last part because I knew he would want to know who it was and what was the news that put me in such a state of shock. I wasn't ready to tell him, not yet. I needed to know him better so I can  trust him with something so sensitive. 

"I know that we haven't known each other for that long, actually it has only been a day, but I really want to know you better. I know that you probably don't trust me enough to tell me who it was you were speaking to, let alone what about, but I am here if you need anyone to talk to." Zayn said.

I was in shock. He literally said everything that I was thinking. He cared enough to give me the space and time I needed. 

"Thank you, Zayn, for understanding. It's hard for me to let people in you know? I just have a hard time trusting people," I said.

We just looked at each other for a while and then Zayn stood and said "I think I should leave, to let you get some rest. If you need anything just yell" he said.

"Okay, thank you so much, Zayn," I said with a smile.

He smiled back and got up to walk out the door. As soon as he closed the door I cozied up in his bed and looked up at the ceiling while sleep took over me.

Harry's POV

They had been in the hospital room for quite a long time, I was nervous. I really wanted to know what happened with Heather. I was pretty mad and I guess jealous when she called Zayn and asked him to come with her on the ambulance. When they both came back to the flat, the way they were standing together had me feeling the same wave of jealousy from before. Zayn had taken Heather upstairs to his room for her to rest. I decided to go into the kitchen and get something to drink to take my mind off of them. Simon decided to go get us some food and said that he would be back. After about 20 minutes Zayn finally came down with a small smile on his face. I felt my teeth gritt together. I quickly tried to relax them so that no one would notice. Zayn sat down on the couch and just sat there for a bit.

"How is she mate?" Liam asked

"She's fine she's sleeping in my room right now," he replied. "Where's Simon?" he asked.

"He went to get food" Niall stated. Right at that moment, the door flew open and in came Simon with a bag of food. Niall's face lit up and he ran to the kitchen to get some plates and stuff. We all went to follow Niall into the kitchen to start to eat. 

THUMP! 

We all looked at the ceiling as if it were see-through. Zayn had a very worried face on.

"Zayn!" we heard Heather scream. Zayn shot up from his seat so quickly he almost knocked the table down. Once again I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach which can only be jealousy. I started to clench my fists at that because of how badly I wanted to be the one she needed. 

Heather's POV

I woke up from a really bad dream. I was so scared. I tried getting up but instead, I fell right to the floor and I hit my head again. Everything was spinning again but a bit worse. I heard the door open and I felt strong arms help me up onto the bed. My head was throbbing.

"Thank you" I murmured.

"I think it would be best if you stop hitting that head of yours," Zayn said.

"I know," I said with a small laugh while rubbing my head.

"How did you fall?" he asked curiously.

"I just woke up from a nightmare I was having and I stood up. Except as soon as I did, I fell to the ground."

"Oh. Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked.

"Not really," I replied.

I looked up to his eyes and he nodded but kept his eyes on mine. I quickly blushed and looked away. When I turned to see him again he had a small smile and was blushing too. I couldn't have done that maybe he just felt bad for me right now. It seems impossible that a guy like him could ever like a girl like me. I had a sad smile on my lips and my eyes were starting to water so I quickly looked up until my eyes calmed down and the tears left my eyes, hopefully without him noticing. When I looked back at Zayn to check he had a confused and sad look on his face.

"Are you okay?" I asked him

"Yeah just fine. Are you going to sleep some more or are you coming downstairs with me and the rest of the lads? We have some food as well, you should probably eat" Zayn asked me, he had a sad smile on his face.

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea" I replied. Zayn helped me off the bed and I almost fell, yet again, but he caught me before I could. He wrapped his arms around my waist to catch me, I felt this electric shock go through my body. He tensed up just like I had. Could he have felt it too?

When we went downstairs the guys looked up at me and they all had a smile on their lips.

"HEATHER!!!" Louis yelled and embraced me in a bear hug. Everyone got their turn to hug me and then they got me some food. I didn't want to eat but Zayn was right. I needed to get something in my system. When I looked up from my plate I noticed that Harry was looking at me and when he saw that I noticed, he looked away and his cheeks turned a little pink. I was confused but I decided that it was nothing and shrugged it off. Everything was weird for me right now.
