Will stared him in the eyes for the next few minutes, then their attention got drawn to the door that came open and let in a doctor with Sheila following behind. "I see you're up and obviously itching to go," the doctor said as he got closer to Will while pulling off his stethoscope. Jay stood up and moved aside to give him some space "How're are you feeling? Do you feel hot anywhere or in anyway irritated?"Will stayed frozen in his seat as they all waited for him to give a reply, the doctor glanced over at Jay and Sheila and they gave him a worried look. He gave them an understanding nod and his eyes went back to Will. He leaned closer with his hands rested on his knee and then he spoke in a softer tone."Excuse me for a minute," he said and reach out to get a read on Will's heartbeat but his hand weakly got pushed back as Will finally responded. His eyes searched the ground in a daze and he swallowed back."I need to see them." Will mumbled and shoved the doctor away as he got up.
Just as Will thought the only heartbreak he would have to endure was watching Zayn lie on the bed, with no idea of the moment he would open his eyes or choose to keep them shut forever. The second problem then arose."This is bad." Justin muttered with furrowed brows as they watched the news.Will had just gotten to find out about how president Joe and Miles were related, it was no longer a surprise how Miles was able to get away and hide after his troubles, when he had someone that high behind him. The news about Joe instantly skyrocketed and the whole city was in a turmoil. The president's company immediately went out of business, taking the jobs of millions at all the branches across the world. Like that wasn't enough, partnering companies were beginning to take a hit, and it wasn't also much of a surprise that Zayn's company was taking it the hardest.He'd built up a good relationship with Joe that this was known to almost everyone who had a smartphone or was connected to the int
Will's eyes fell open and his lids blinked tiredly at the strange yet familiar ceiling. Did he fall asleep? The morning light brightened up the room and he swallowed in disbelief as he wondered how he had slept off without rounding up his work. He sat up with a groan and felt the need to fall back asleep.But then he freezes up as he looked to his side and notices the bed that had held Zayn up until the night, was now empty. His mouth fell open and he felt his heart beat in fear, what happened? Where is Zayn?He shot off the bed in question and rushed over to get a closer look at the bed but there really was no one on it. The machines had gone off and the tubes disconnected. "Zayn." The door to the room came open and the moment Will's head came up, his breath seized at the person who now stood at the entrance in his hospital robe.Will's eyes trailed over his face for a moment, then the smile he'd always wished to see got flashed at him. "Will." Will found his tears flood up to his
The next few minutes sent Will down the road of terror as he watched the nurse who had come in get down to pumping Zayn's chest. It didn't take long for the room to hold a doctor accompanied by two other nurses."Please step back."They instructed Will and he staggered back as his heart beat up in his chest. His eyes danced around and he watched them rush into action. What's happening? The doctor read the machine and he rushed down to expose Zayn's bare chest "We're losing him, sir.""What?" Will breathed at the words and his eyes went down to Zayn who was still unconscious. Who were they losing?He watched the nurses take out a defibrillator and as Will watched Zayn being taped up with new tubes, he felt his breathing destabilize anxiously. The nurse giving the CPR stepped aside and Will watched the doctor move closer. "Clear." he pressed a button and Zayn's chest pump up the bed. They repeated their actions and Will didn't know when the tears in his eyes began to fall down his f
Zayn eyes fell open groggily and it took him a while to get used to the heaviness of his eyes. His body didn't feel any lighter, and the day light wasn't being gentle to his eyes.Where is this? he thought and tried to surf through his memories, but he couldn't get anything straight-up. Yet this scene and position felt awfully familiar with the oxygen mask in his way just like when he got into an accident years ago. His eyes remained on the ceiling for a while, then he blinked again.Right!An accident, he was shot by that bastard. So from the looks of it, he must be at the hospital. Then what about Will? and his mom?"Honestly, I really don't know how you handle these people." The sudden voice that came from his side made his eyes shift tiredly to the voice he couldn't forgot even if he were to die and be reborn. His gaze stayed on Will and he found himself falling in love all over again.Will sat on the couch with his eyes focused on the papers surrounding him. He kept from glancin
Will felt Zayn give his hand a light pull forward, and it didn't require much power for his body to follow through. He thought he was over his crying era, but this was the worst he'd seen himself. Was this really not a dream? He felt his body fall in an embrace as he sat on the bed, and he couldn't resist his feeling of doubt still inside him. He sniffled while leaning back, but the minute his eyes met Zayn's, his tears flooded out again. "Zayn!" he sobbed and leaned back in on Zayn who carefully gave him soft pats on his back."I'm sorry." Zayn whispered to him and he felt a kiss pressed on his forehead. His emotions played around in his chest, but overall, he couldn't contain the joy that overflowed inside him.His head came back up again and he still couldn't believe Zayn was awake and staring back at him. His head fell with wavering breaths and he gave Zayn's hand a squeeze again.His head came up for the third time as he sniffled, trying not to break down again at the sight o
Will straightened at the words and he saw Zayn's interest get picked."Heard what?""About your...""Kay!" Will's yell made them both flinch while their heads turned back to him. He had also surprised himself, it wasn't his plan to yell out that loud.""What's wrong?" Zayn asked with widened eyes and Will swallowed"Sorry, I just... I was just wondering if Kay–" his eyes shifted to Kay in silence.Now what?"What did I do?" Kay asked curiously and Will pursed his lips. Then a thought struck him."Marinette wants to see you.""Marinette? Who's that?""My friend, and a nurse here. I, told her about your field and she seemed pretty- interested." he nodded to back up his words and could see Kay falling for it"I mean..." Kay gave a smug "My field isn't an easy one.""You better tell her he's a quack and that she won't get anything useful out of him." Zayn said with the scrunch of his face and Will smiled at him.Quack or no quack, he needed Kay out of the room."Come, we need to go meet
Zayn pulled his hands away from his laptop with a sigh and slumped back against the bed headrest. He reached for the anti-ray glasses on his face and pulled it off before giving his shut eyes a gentle massage. It's been nothing but work all week. He took one final look at the work he had rounded up and closed his laptop shut. "Finally," he breathed. The hand rested on his leg twitched and his eyes fell open to see Will still fast asleep next to him. A soft smile came up his lips at the new habit Will had built up. His hand always had to touch a part of Zayn while he's asleep."Is he scared I'll run away or something?" Zayn mumbled to himself, yet he couldn't help but find it cute. He's been doing that since they left the hospital.Placing his laptop carefully along with the glasses on the bedside desk, he left his lamp on and turned back to Will with a smile. With his head rested on his palm, he couldn't help the butterflies in his stomach as he stared a hole at Will who had let
