Tattooed Heart [N.H AU]

Thirty-Three

*Summer's P.O.V *

I slowly opened my eyes and felt a sharp pain in my swollen eye. I looked around my surroundings and I was in a white room... in a bed. I heard a faint beeping and turned to see a machine that was tracking my pulse and that's when I realized I was in a hospital. What the heck? How did I get here? What happened? All I can remember was getting out of school and I was jumped by a couple of men in blac- . My thoughts were interrupted by the door swinging open. A female doctor that looks like she was on her middle 30s came in and said "oh it's good to see you're finally up" she walked over to me and checked some stuff and wrote something down on her clipboard.

When she finished she looked over to me and said "you're hungry?" I smiled and nodded with me head, not able to find my voice. She grabbed a small control what was connected with the bed by a string and I immediately raise along with the bed. She moved a tray with food over to me, turned the lights on and left the room. I grabbed the spoon from the tray and ate the disgusting soup, a cheese and ham sandwich, and Jello. After I finished, the door opened and a doctor came in. I sat up slowly and push the tray over to my right. "Hello Summer, I'm Dr. John, how are you feeling?"

"I'm alright I guess, do you know what happen to me? Why am I here?" I asked him looking at the small room that we were in.

"Well I believe that you collapsed because of loss of blood. You got four stitches on your arm" he said pointing towards my arm that was wrapped around with bandages. "Wait. Who brought me here then?" I asked not remembering a thing.

"A boy with dark hair and with tattoos brought you here" Dr John said while getting up "he's actually on the waiting room. Do you want me to get him?" I nodded in agreement and laid against my pillows. When he left I thought for a while about how my life has changed over the last month. My head snapped up when I heard footsteps. Zayn stood there at the foot of the bed staring at me.

"Hey" I smiled and sat up again. He came over to me with a concerned smile and sat at the end of the bed. "How are you feeling?" he says while looking deeply into my eyes. I shrugged, "I've been better" I chuckled slightly and straighten up.

"Why'd you help me? I don't even know you that well." He flinched a little at my hard question but well it was true, I don't know him that well. I had to ask.

"Why wouldn't I? You were obviously hurt" he says while pointing to my bandaged arm. I sigh, and cover my face with both of my hands. "Hey" he made his way over to me and sat close. "What's wrong?"

I whipped the small tear that was forming on the corner of my eye with the back of my hand and looked at him in the eye. "Is that..." I looked away.

"What?" he put a hand on my shoulder and looked I at him again.

"Something happen while I was with... them." I let out a shaky breath. I tried to cover my face again but Zayn stopped me by grabbing my wrists. "Did they...?" he ask widening his eyes in shock.

"Oh no, no. this guy told me that 'it wasn't over yet', what do you think he meant?" I bite down my lip, I felt a lump on my throat growing. I quickly took a deep breath and whipped the corner of my eye with the back of my hand.

"Well... I don't know to be honest" he shrugged, giving me an apologising smile. He came closer to me and gave me an unexpected hug. I stand still for a moment not knowing what to do, but I snap out of it and wrapped my arms around his waist. I could feel his exquisite aroma fill my nostrils. I jumped as the door open suddenly with a whoosh.

*Niall's P.O.V*

As I parked the car on the Hospital parking lot. I got out of the car as quick as I could. Running through the car park and entering the hospital, I went to the reception. A woman in her 50s was filing some papers as I approach her. Once she notice my presence she put the file aside and looked up at me. "Hello, how can I help?"
