Embers POV


"Did you know Liam and Niall are doing it?" I question Zayn as I bound down the stairs to the living room.


He shrugs, "I had my suspicions."


I scoff at his answer and head to the kitchen for breakfast. I head to the fridge and stare at the contents for far longer than necessary before deciding on a bowl of cereal.


After my bowl of goodness is ready, I seat myself at the table and scarfed it down. As I lift my spoon to take a bite, I feel something in my head.


 At first, It feels like a slight pressure; maybe a headache is brewing? I shrug it off and begin to chew again.

Mid-chew the pressure in my head skyrockets until it's nothing but searing pain. I drop my spoon into my bowl, making milk splash and loud clattering noise.


My hands shoot up to my head in hopes that somehow they will help soothe the blinding pain. It does nothing, and the pain proceeds to get even worse.


"You ok?" Zayn shouts from the living room in response to the loud clatter from my spoon.


I can't respond with anything but a whimper, but that is enough for him to sprint over to me in concern. As he runs over to me, I feel myself begin to fall, almost as though I have lost the ability to hold myself up in the chair.


I feel myself hit the floor, but I feel no other pain except the one in my head.


"Baby, what's wrong?" His voice is panicky, but I have no way to calm him down when I'm not even calm myself.


The only word I can get out of my mouth is, "Hurts," As I clutch my throbbing head tighter.


I feel him scoop me up and run outside, but from there, I feel nothing. I see nothing. I hear nothing.


I am terrified.

Zayns POV

I hear ember drop something in the kitchen, sounds like some utensil but just to make sure, I yell a quick "You ok?" too her. 

When I hear a whimper in response, my body goes haywire. I shoot up from my seat and dash over to her, but not quick enough to catch from from falling onto the kitchen floor. 

"Baby, what's wrong?" My voice comes out panicked.

"Hurts" Is all I get in response along with her clutching her head until her knuckles turn white. This is all the reason I need to scoop her up and rush to the car.  I lay her in the backseat so she can stay curled up before hopping into the drivers seat as fast and the fucking flash.

My thumb beats against the steering wheel as we hit another red light. I swear these traffic lights have something against me. I glance back at amber and my panic increases. It looks like she's passed out and I don't know if thats good or bad.

As the light turns green, I immediately continue my journey to the hospital and find myself there in 2 minutes.

I park sloppily close to one of the entrances and rush out the grab ember. I clutch her to my chest as I rush inside of the big white building. 

I am greeted by two nurses who give a confused look. 

"I don't know whats wrong with her" I continue to explain what happened as they rush her back on a gurney. 

"Sir, you're going to have to wait over there while we examine her." The nurse gestures to the waiting room that has become oh so familiar. 

I let out a sigh and decide I should probably call the boys. They are probably so confused right now. 

"Liams phone" I hear Nialls accent ring through the phone. 

"You guys need to get to the hospital, Ember is hurt, Ill explains when you get her" I say before hanging up. I really did not feel like relaying what happened over the phone. 

15 minutes pass and all four boys rush in looking like they just ran a fucking marathon. 

"What happened?" Liam asks without wasting any time. I relay the events of the past half hour to all the boys.

"Fuck" I hear Liams small mumble as he sits in the chair, elbows on knees and his head in his hands. 

Another 15 minutes pass without a word spoken between us when a nurse comes back in the waiting room. 

"Ember Payne?" She calls her name and all five of us jump up at the sound.

"Is she okay?" I ask before any of the others have a chance.

"She is stable, visitors are welcome but she is not awake yet." The nurse waves us on to follow her.

"So what happened?" Liam questioned the nurse. 

"Optical neuralgia, typically caused my trauma to the head" The nurse responds, "Was she in any event that could have caused major trauma to the back of her head." 

We al look at each other and nod. 

"Yeah, we had a run in with her ex, not a great guy." Liam sums up to the nurse and they nod back.

"That could do it," They respond and opens a door that I'm assuming leads to where ember is staying. 

"She is right over there, please press the call button if you need anything," With that, the nurse leaves and we are sitting around Embers bed once again.

"Deja Vu," Niall states which leads a few chuckles from us. Even with the boys surrounding me, and the knowledge that she will most likely be okay.....

I am terrified.
