Just Friends

Chapter 56

Bleep... Bleep... Bleep...

"Nurse, she still hasn't woken up. Are you sure she's okay?"

"Sir, we gave her quite a lot of medication after her procedure. She will wake up once her body wears it off."

"But she will be okay?"

"She will be fine my dear."

Oh, God. Where am I? Everything was still black but I was more than aware of the voices talking around me. I attempted to move but my body felt heavy, almost restrained.

"Will she be in pain?" A male voice asked.

"We can't be sure until she wakes up. Let's hope for the best. That's all we can do in this situation for now."

I listened to the voices carefully and realize I recognized the man's voice perfectly. It was the voice of a man that I would walk through fire to see. It was Zayn.

"Why did this have to happen?" I heard him say, a light sob in his voice.

No! Don't cry. I tried to say except my lips wouldn't move. But, as he continued to cry, I found enough strength in myself to open my eyes. My eyes scanned the room over once, taking in the scenery around me. I was in a hospital room hooked up to some wires and tubes. Five large bouquets of roses sat lined up on a small table in the corner of the room along with a few 'get well soon' balloons.

I rolled my head over to my right where the crying was coming from. My eyes landed on Zayn who was hunched over in a small chair, his face resting in his hands.

"Zayn?" I managed to croak out. His head instantly snapped up at the sound of my strangled voice. My heart instantly breaking at the sight of his tear stained cheeks and sad eyes.

"Oh my god." He quickly rushed over to my side and took my hand in his. "You're finally awake. Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm just slightly confused."

"The most important thing right now is that you're okay and not in pain."

"What the hell happened to me?" I asked, gesturing down to the needle in my arm and multiple bruises.

"Your dad attacked you and you went unconscious from lack of oxygen to the brain. He was trying to drown you when I came inside." He explained.

"I should have known he would pull shit like that." I mumbled.

"No, this isn't your fault Megan. None of it. I should have been watching closer. No, I should have gone in with you. None of this would have happened if I-"

"Shh." I hushed him before he could get worked up. "Everything is okay now."

"Yeah I guess so." He said, his eyes unsure.

"How long was I out?"

"A little over a day."

"Fuck! The concerts." I groaned.

"Don't worry about those. They are already re-scheduled and sorted out. The fans understood completely."

"That's good I suppose. Where are the others?"

"They are all in the waiting room waiting for you to wake up."

"Even Niall?" I asked.

"Yes. He's been checking on you every hour."

"Do they know you were at the hotel with me?"

"Yeah they ended up finding out. That was an interesting one to explain." He said with a sliver of humor in his voice.

"Well I'm glad everything worked out then."

"Uh, yeah."

"What happened to my Dad?" I asked, slightly remembering the policemen who had taken him away.

"He's going to be locked up for a long time." Zayn said, his jaw tensing. "For the rest of his life if everything works out as planned."

I nodded, not sure exactly what to say. It was a lot to take in at the moment.

"Do you remember anything that happened?" He asked me.

"I remember little bits and pieces of it. I mostly remember the pain but I do remember you coming in to save me." A smile formed across my face.

"It was nothing." Zayn joked causing me to laugh lightly.

"You said you loved me." I whispered once our laughter died down.

"I have for a while now." He admitted, squeezing my hand.

"And you never told me?"

"I thought it was best at the time."

"Oh my God, Zayn. You can't just keep something like that from me!"

"Shh. Calm down now. We can't have you getting worked up here." He leaned down to kiss me on the forehead. "All that matters is that you know now."

"I love you."

"And I love you." He smiled.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting our touching moment. When it opened, a man with grey hair and scrubs stepped inside my small little room.

"Ah, Megan you're awake. Good, good. My name is Doctor Kendall. I've been monitoring you since you've arrived."

"Hello." I greeted him awkwardly.

"How are you feeling?"

"Strangely tired but well." I admitted.

"That's normal. The medication we gave you after your procedure was very powerful. You will probably feel more awake once it all wears off completely."

"Um, excuse me but I had a procedure?"

The Doctor and Zayn quickly exchanged glances but both didn't say a word.

"Uh, hello? Somebody please tell me what is going on." I demanded.

"I take it Zayn didn't inform you of everything that happened once you arrived here at the hospital."

I turned my head to look at Zayn who was staring at the floor, refusing to meet my gaze. "No, apparently he didn't."

"Uh, well during your attack you received some pretty heavy blows unfortunately. It caused some fatal complications."

Fatal complications? But I was fine.

"I'm not following you."

"There is no easy way to tell you this Megan." He started to say, and suddenly everything clicked.

I was fine. But my baby was not.

"I'm afraid you have suffered a miscarriage, Megan. I'm very sorry for your loss." The Doctor said.

And that's when I started to scream.
