11: In Love for the First Time

{Zayn's POV}


"If you keep letting your heart rate get like that, you're going to start bleeding again," the nurse tells me as she changes my bandage.



AJ giggles from the other side of the room. Andy gives her a stern look and she sticks her tongue out at him. I wink at her when she looks over at me. She blushes deeply, causing me to smirk.


"I know you're happy to see her and happy to be awake, but please," the nurse says, finishing up. 


I look at her and nod. "Sorry ma'am."


She smiles. "It's okay, I understand."


"When can he go home?" AJ asks. 


"Being that everything is okay, I presume today. It all depends on what the doctor says," the nurse tells her.


I let out a sigh of relief, then groan at the movement. I was shot in my side. They just missed my heart by a couple inches. The bullet ended up cracking part of my rib cage. They got the bullet out and stitched me up, but I still have a horrible pain in my side until everything heals. 


"Try not to move too much," she tells me. "I'll go talk to the doctor." She leaves the room and AJ looks at Andy. 


"He's not going back home," she tells him. 


"I know, I know," he says. 


"So, can he come home with us?" She asks carefully.


He scoffed. "Do you really think she's going to let him stay?" he asks. "No offence," he tells me. 


"None taken," I tell him, forcing a smile.


"He can't go home alone, you just said so! She has to let him stay with us!" she argued. 


"Calm down," Andy says calmly. "I'll go call her. Plus we have to wait for the doctor to discharge him," he says, standing up. He makes his way out the door as he pulls out his cell phone.


AJ stands and walks over to my bed. "I'm not leaving here without you. I refuse to let you go home."


I roll my eyes. "I'm a big boy; I can take care of myself."


"You can take care of yourself at my house, where you won't get hurt."


I groan. "Your mom doesn't like me already. She's not going to let me stay in her house."


"Fine. Then I won't go home until she does."
