Chapter 28: Awake

~Zayn's POV~

Finally my mum was back with from England. Carlos was asleep which was a good thing because then he would be asking about his. . . mother. Elizabeth is asleep aslo. My mum drove me hospital to see Natalia while the girls watched the kids. Natalia hasn't waken up yet. . . . and I'm worried.

"I'm here to see Natalia Weston." I said, to the nurse.

"Room 212." She said. She gave me sticker. I went in the room, seeing Natalia still. . .I guess you could say 'sleep'

"When will she wake up?" I asked the nurse that was writting on the board on the wall.

"I don't know, sir. I'm sorry." She said.

I nodded and sat down. I held her hand and kissed it. For days I've came here. . .hoping she will wake up, feel her soft touch, little cute voice, and that beauitful smile and laugh that I love dearly. I even sleep here 3 or 2 nights here.

"Natalia, baby." I said, as a tear streamed down my face. I brushed my thumb against ther skin. I pulled out a picture of me and her. I put it in her hand, I got up and kissed her head.

"Zayn." I heard my name.

I turned my head and saw Natalia awake. I smiled and ran to her. She smiled and held out her arms. "I've been so worried."

"I missed you." Natalia said, hugging me.

"Me too." I said, kissing her cheek.

Natalia kissed me, I kissed her back. A smile played on my lips. "Zayn. . . "

"Yes?" I asked, pulling away.

"What happened?" Natalia asked.

"There was a shooting in the store, I told you to stay in one of aisles that we were in. I walked away and took out my gun. When approached him we kind of talked until he shot me. You. . . . you must of thought I was hurt or something, so you ran to the front. By the time I got to you. . you were already hit in you're stomach. I had to tell myself that I shouldn't kill this man-"

"Zayn please tell me you didin't. . . ." Natalia said, looking at me sadly.

"No, I took him to the police. When I got back you, I put you're head on my lap. You freaked out a little but I calmed you down. You were scared of dying and you were crying. You asked me. .  .are you dying. I said no but then you said. . .why does it feel like it? I didn't know how to answer that question. You started to cough and you started to cry more. You said, I don't wanna die. . . the amblunce wasn't coming anytime soon so I drove you there. When I was walking with you in my arms, you stopped breathing." I said.

Natalia looked at me, her eyes filled with tears. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I said, smiling.

"Are you still hurt?" Natalia asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. "I'm not really worried about it."

"When I brought you here, I was bleeding really bad and the nurse wanted me to checked but I said, I'm fine. She said, sir please but I said, nurse I know what it feels like to be shot. I'll be fine, I'll live." I said, laughing.

"Zayn, that sounded a little rude." Natalia laughed.

"Well I was pissed off but I didn't mean to make it sound rude. I was trying to tell her that I was fine." I said, shrugging. "I kind of shrugged off the fact that I was hurt and I could of died but I didn't care."

"Why?" Natalia asked.

"Because I was more worried about you than a stupid gun wound. If I had to chose life or death to save you and the kids, I would chose death. I would die for you. I'm not like those other dickheads out there, chosing their life over their family. I love all of you guys and I would do anything to keep you  guys safe." I said.

Natalia smiled. "Your such a caring person."

"Yes. .  .I am." I smiled.

"But then a goof ball." Natalia laughed.

"What? How?' I asked, laughing.

"I don't know." Natalia laughed but then holding her stomach. "But you're my goof ball."

I kissed her lips. "Yes, I know. You're my little flower."

Natalia pulled me in for a other kiss. I don't know how long it was but we never stopped kissing.
