Addicted To You

Chapter 5

Emily's POV

Maisie was kept in the hospital overnight and was stitched up. They said it wasn't actually that bad. She was only bleeding so much because she had caught a small vein and she passed out because of the blood loss and stress.

Zayn stayed with me and her for the whole night and didn't leave once. I told him that he could go home but he insisted on staying with Maisie. I was starting to think that maybe he liked Maisie more than a friend. I noticed it before when Maisie and Niall were cuddled up. He had a sort of anger in his eyes.

Zayn had phoned the boys and told them what was going on. Niall said he was going to come up to the hospital later but the other boys weren't because they were going to let Maisie go home tonight and they'd see her then.

It was about 3 o'clock and Niall came in, with balloons saying 'Get Well Soon' on them. Maisie was asleep so Zayn told him to be quiet and gestured to Maisie. When Niall saw her asleep, he immediately shut up.

I stood up and walked over to the door. I gave him a quick hug and sat back down. He sat in the spare seat and attached the balloons to back of the chair. We all sat whispering for a while, so we wouldn't wake Maisie up.

She soon woke up though. She was facing Zayn when she woke up and smiled at him. "What are you still doing here?" She asked him.

"Just making sure that you are okay," he answered and smiled warmly. She smiled back.

"Niall's here too," I told her. She instantly looked at Niall. He took her hand and kissed it. She blushed.

"I'm just going to get a drink," Zayn said and walked out of the room, facing the floor.

"Yeah I'll come too, I'm quite thirsty," I said and followed him out. Rushing to catch up with him, I joined him in the elevator. "So, it looks like Maisie and Niall are getting to know each other well, aren't they?" I asked, waiting for a reaction. All I got was a 'mmm'. He was just looking at the floor. "Are you okay Zayn?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm great!" He answered, slightly sarcastically. The elevator stopped at the ground floor. We both walked out of the elevator and towards the café. I walked up to the woman at the counter.

"Can I get a hot chocolate, please?" I asked.

"Would you like marshmallows, cream or both?" She replied.

"Just normal is fine thank you," I answered, reaching for my purse.

"It's alright, I'll get it," Zayn offered, getting change out of his pocket.

"You sure?" I asked. He nodded.

"Can I get a bottle of coke as well please?" He asked. The woman nodded and wadled off to get the coke.

"Zayn?" I asked waiting for him to look at me. His head turned to me. He raised his eyebrows to tell me to carry on. "Do you like Maisie? Like more than a friend?" I continued. He looked at the floor for a few seconds.

He grabbed his drink that the woman had just placed down and walked away swiftly, out the double doors, leaving the money for the drinks on the counter.

I grabbed my drink, smiled at the woman to say thanks and followed him. He seemed to of dropped of the face of the earth. I had no idea where he had gone.

I looked around the back of the building but he wasn't there. I looked in gardens, nothing. He must of headed home. I turned back around and looked around for Zayn once more before giving up and heading back up to Maisie and Niall.

I walked in to the room. Niall had gone and Maisie was left to sleep. I went over to her to check that she was okay and she seemed fine so I just sat down next to her. Just observing how angelic she looked when she was sleeping. Zayn and Niall walked in minutes later.

Zayn's POV

I went into the toilets after Emily had asked if I like Maisie. I did. That was the problem. I went in and looked at myself in the mirror. Maisie would never like me that way, I wasn't good enough for her. And anyways she likes Niall, not me. Niall walked out of the cubicle behind me.

"You alright mate?" He asked. I nodded. Actually I wasn't, I was annoyed with him but it isn't his fault if someone falls for him. I acted as if I wasn't annoyed and headed back up to Maisie with him.

I walked in first and Niall was behind me. I sat down where Niall was sitting before, next to Maisie. Emily watched me as I sat down but I didn't make eye contact with her.

I took at seat. Maisie was asleep so I was careful not to bother her or wake her up. Niall sat next to Emily on the other side of the bed. I could feel her eyes burning a whole in my head. I wouldn't look at her, I was too embarrassed. I just kept playing around with my hands.

Maisie woke up a few minutes after we had come in. "Oh, hey Zayn," She smiled.

"How you feeling?" I smiled back.

"Good, thank you," she replied. "I think I can go home in a bit,"

"That's good then, are you coming back to ours or are you going home?" I asked.

"Is it okay if I come back to yours?" She answered. I nodded and later that day she came home with us.
