<<[Niall's POV]>>

After talking with a few people, I was left alone in the room I was in. I sighed and quietly prayed that Zayn and I will be ok. If I were to die, I don't know how Zayn would cope without me. He has no other friends, no other family members who don't abuse him. If Zayn were to die, I don't know how I would cope with knowing that he was dead.

At least I would have done everything I could. Ugh I should stop thinking about this. Before I knew it, it was 9:00 at night. The nurses left and I rested in my hospital bed alone. The doctors said my parents could visit tomorrow, but I need to get rest. I just sat in the darkness, thinking. Until I heard tapping.

It was coming from the room next to mine. The tapping seemed to come right from where my head was. I turned my head and tapped on the wall. The other tapping stopped for a moment. "Niall?" I heard a voice coming from the other side of the wall. I recognized the voice as Zayn's. "Zayn?" I asked. "I can't sleep" he told me. "Me neither" I sighed.

I put my head up against the wall and heard the faint beeping of Zayn's heart moniter. "Do you feel okay?" He asked. "Don't worry about me Zayn" I said. There was a pause. "What's gonna happen? I don't have parents anymore" he said. "I'm sure everything will be ok" I told him. "But I don't want you to get taken away from me" he said. "I won't let that happen Zayn" I said, even though I wasn't really even sure what was going to happen.

"You're the only person I know who cares about me" he told me. "You never deserved to get hurt. I promise I won't let anyone hurt you like that anymore" I said. "I love you Niall" his breath hitched. "I love you too" I told him. Silence. "Goodnight Niall" he said. "Goodnight Zayn" I yawned. I am going to protect this boy, no matter what.

Fast forward to the next morning

When I was awake, the first thing I saw was my family. My mum walked over to me and gave me a light hug. "We heard what happened Nialler" my dad said. "We're proud of what you did, but you can't be acting so physical towards people, there could have been another way to deal with the situation." My mum told me. Before I could respond, a nurse came into the room.

"Last night we did a few tests and it doesn't seem like he has any broken bones what so ever, but he has a few bruised ribs, and you need to keep a careful eye on this boy" she said. "How's Zayn? What's gonna happen to him?" I asked. "Zayn has similar damage to his ribs, but he should be better soon. His parents are in court and most likely going to jail. For now, we'll put him in a foster home." She explained. "And then what?" I asked.

"If he seems to fit into that home then it will become permanent until he decides to move out" she told me. I hope he'll be ok. "Am I going home today?" I asked. "It's up to you, honey" my mum said. "I want to be with Zayn" I told them.

"I guess if it's alright with Zayn, you could go with him to meet his foster parent" the nurse said. "I want to do that" I said. "Well, you need to rest a bit more. I will go talk to Zayn." She told me, then left. I could hear murmurs coming from the room Zayn was in, and then I smiled at my family and closed my eyes.
