The Good In Me [Ziam]

26

Liam waited patiently sitting next to Louis in the waiting room. He rushed to the hospital after seeing multiple missed calls and texts from Louis hours ago saying that Niall was hurt. It was later that day now, Louis has been waiting in the hospital for 6 hours or so while Liam only got there an hour ago. The moon was out now and clouds were settling in, covering the starry night. The gloomy night truly reflected the emotions the two were feeling at the moment. 

"This is fucking ridiculous" Louis curses getting up from his chair "I've been waiting for too damn long, what the fuck is happening?" Liam grabs his hand before he had a chance to yell at the doctors.

"Lou, just wait. They said they'll return once he's out of surgery" Louis only shakes his head and pulls his hand away before reaching into his pocket and pulling a cigarette out.

"I'm going outside"

"That's your second one in the past hour" Liam comments, not liking the amount Louis was smoking. Who knows if he smoked more before Liam got there.

"And? Is there a problem?" he asks setting the cigarette behind his head while giving Liam an annoyed look.

After a moment of neither of them saying anything, Louis scoffs and walks out the waiting room and into the cold air so he could have a smoke. Liam was worried for him and for Niall but most of all worried for Zayn. He didn't get an explanation of what happened because all Louis said was Zayn beat up Niall then went out for a smoke because he was getting angry.

The wait was killing Liam, he doesn't know what happened, he doesn't know how bad this fight was and he doesn't know where Zayn is. He tried calling him a couple of times when Louis wasn't with him but it always went straight to voicemail. His texts weren't even sending and it just gave him even worse anxiety.

"Are you Niall Horan's brother?" a soft voice asks causing Liam to look up to see a doctor stood in front of him with brunette hair that had grey roots growing out, he had his scrubs on and an exhausted look on his face.

"U-um yea" Liam stutters, unsure if he should be lying right now. Nonetheless he stands up to reach the doctors eye level and prepares for whatever the man is going to tell him.

"Are there any more family on their way?" Liam shakes his head and lets the doctor continue "Okay well Mr. Horan is stable. He is resting at the moment but there was some damage done to his vocal cords"

Before the doctor could go on, Louis comes rushing in, interrupting the two "Shit is Niall awake? Is he okay?"

The doctor looks to him confused then gives Liam as well "He's his brother. We're brothers" Liam explains, continuing to convince the fake story.

"Alright well as I was explaining to your brother. Niall is okay but he is not awake at the moment. There was some trauma done to his head from the constant impact but he will probably experience migraines and possible dizziness which we will prescribe medicine for. Now, his vocal cords were damaged from the pressure, it stopped oxygen going to his brain but luckily we were able to repair it quickly. Only, he will have trouble speaking, he may not be able to speak right away as it could take days, weeks or even months. Considering the damage it shouldn't take too long though he will most likely experience pain in his throat and maybe have trouble breathing but if it becomes too much you come to us right away"
