Caught In The Act

Chapter 4

I looked back at the menu trying to figure out what to eat, while Harry scrolled through the T.V. channels. I decided on a chicken, lettuce, and tomato sandwich and some baby carrots on the side.

There was a knock on the door and the nurse walked back into the room with pills in her hand. I smiled at her and as she gave them to me.

"Thank you." I said. She smiled sweetly back at me.

"You're welcome. Have you figured out what you would like to eat?" She asked and grabbed a pen and paper.

"Yes I have. I am going to get the chicken, lettuce and tomato sandwich with baby carrots on the side." I told her with my mouth watering as I thought of food.

"Do you want anything for dessert?" She asked as she wrote my order down.

"Chocolate chip cookie, please." I smiled and looked over at a chuckling Harry.

"Do you want anything, Haz?"

"No I'm fine, thank you." He shrugged.

"Alrighty then. I will bring this down the the kitchen." She smiled and left the room.

I grabbed my pain killers the nurse had brought me and popped them into my mouth. Grabbing the water I saw my phone light up. I grabbed it and looked to see what it was. A text from Zayn. I sighed and opened it, looking at all of the texts he had sent me before.

Emily I am so sorry! I had too much to drink and it just happened. -Z

Please forgive me. I didn't mean for this to happen. I love you! -Z

Come on, E. I love you so much. Lets talk about this. -Z

My eyes dropped to the one from today.

Emily! Are you alright?! I heard you're in the hospital. Please answer me! We need to talk. -Z

How did he know I was in the hospital? I furrowed my eyebrows together confused. I looked at the missed calls I had gotten from the night before.

7 missed calls from Zayn, 5 from Sarah, and 13 from my mom.

I looked up at Harry who's eyes were focused on the T.V.

"Harry?" I asked softly. He turned and looked at me, his eyebrows furrowed together.

"Yeah?" His voice was quiet.

"How did Zayn know I was in the Hospital?" He shrugged and looked back at the T.V. I stared at him for a bit, then dropped my gaze back down to my phone.

I got out of bed and walked to the window scrolling through my contacts. Once I found my mothers, I decided to call her back. She's probably worried.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Come on mom pick up already. The phone stopped ringing and I froze. I could hear breathing on the other end. Tears filled my eyes.

"Mom?.." My voice was quiet and shaky. A tear fell onto my cheek and slid down my face.

"Emily?.." She spoke hoarsely. I could tell she had been crying.

"Hi, Mom." I sniffled a smile formed on my face. I let the tears fall from my eyes not caring.

"Oh, Emily! You had me worried sick! What happened are you okay?! You know what? I'm coming to see you." She told me and sniffled.

"Okay." Was all I could say. I just wanted her to hold me tight and never let me go.

"I'll be there soon, sweetheart. I love you!"

"I love you too, Mom." I smiled and wiped the tears that had fallen onto my cheeks, then hung up. I turned away from the window and looked at Harry who had a concerned look on his face.

"My moms coming." I smiled at him as another tear fell onto my cheek. Harry smiled with sympathy in his eyes.

"Good." He said. He walked over and pulled me into a long, tight hug. I never wanted to leave his arms. I felt so safe.

***Zayn's P.O.V.***

This is all my fault. It's all my fault Emily is in the hospital. How could I have been so stupid?!

As I lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling, I replayed the events from the night before.

***FLASHBACK***

I bit my lip as Sarah dug her fingernails into my back. I went faster and harder as she moaned.

"Zayn.." She called out my name. Then the door swung open.

"How could you?!" A voice from behind me yelled. I immediately knew who it was and froze. I turned around to find Emily standing there with hurt and anger written all over her face. I looked at the floor where she was standing. She had brought me everything I needed because I had told her that I was sick.. Shit.

"E-Emily. It's not what it looks like!" Sarah tried to explain. Her voice was shaking and I could feel her trembling beneath me.

"Oh, really. So you're not having sex with my boyfriend? Hm?" I could hear the disgust in her voice. Tears were streaming down her face.

"Emily.." I tried to explain.

"I hate you.." She mumbled. Her words made my heart crumble into pieces. She had every right to be mad. My eyes started to fill with tears, while Sarah cried her heart out.

"Emily, please! I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean fo-" Sarah tried to explain.

"I trusted you!" Emily interrupted. "Both of you!" Her eyes went from Sarah to me. I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

"Please, Emily.. Just let me explain." My voice trailed off. Emily wiped the tears away harshly and a look of anger showed up on her face.

"No. I've had enough of you two lying to me. You're a selfish bastard!" She spat at me. I let the tears fall down my cheeks.

"We're done." She whispered harshly then ran off. She said the words that I had hoped would never come out of her mouth.

"Emily, wait!" I tried calling after her, I heard the door slam and I knew I was too late.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

I sat up right thinking about what I've done. I can't stand the feeling of me hurting the girl I love so much. I need to make it up to her..

But how?
