Relli’s POV:

I couldn’t feel anything but the sting and burn of my abdomen. It felt like a thousand tiny suns burning into my flesh the minute that bullet broke my skin. After that, my sight was blurry. I heard screams and gasps but, I felt someone put their hands on me. I looked up to see it was a boy, with dark skin tone and black hair, possibly a quiff. His face came closer to mine and I could finally see who it was, Zayn. He was yelling at me, words falling out of his mouth every second. I could only hear him faintly. His face became closer to mine and I could see water in his hazel eyes, but the tears didn’t dare fall down from his flawless orbs. 
Everything was getting darker, my eyelids getting heavier, I was becoming tired, wanting nothing to do but sleep. I remember telling Zayn about the pain, about the drowsiness, he told me not to give in, but I didn’t listen. 

Then, everything was dark.

Zayn’s POV:

When we arrived at the hospital, Relli was immediately rushed into a room. Doctors and nurses were screaming and shouting away, while I was zoned out. Everything was a blur, every noise a mumble, and ever movement feeling like 5 seconds too slow. I followed the garnet to her room. 112. They didn’t allow me in so I stood there, outside the window. Just watching. 

My cheeks were wet and my eyes felt puffy. Tears eventually stopped, mostly because I was all out of water. 

I was watching what was happening, what the doctors were doing. They were sticking needles into her, attaching wires, and other things I wasn’t sure of. I could see the doctor raise his two electric pads and yell, “Clear!”, over the flat line. 

Throughout all of the commotion, I could feel my heart being ripped, torn, and slaughtered into a million pieces, slowly. I pressed him ear to the glass door to see if my hearing was correct. The heart monitor wasn’t beeping. 

“C’mon Relli, c’mon. You can’t leave, just fight, Relli, fight. C’mon, please, please don’t leave me. C’mon, please. C’mon!” I kept saying to myself, getting louder and louder with each word. My fist were pounding on the window as I kept yelling, earning odd glances from the people around me, but I didn’t care. 

I was trying to get Relli to, just, possibly, hear me and listen. Possibly hear my words and fight through. 

Still no beeping. Just that long, flat line. 

“I think it’s time to call it.” The doctor said with high regret. 

“No!” Before I knew what I was doing, my feet moved quickly until I was facing the doctor.
“Please, just a couple more times. Please, just please. Try! You have to try…” I pleaded, begging for him to just do this for me, begging God to give Relli a chance. 

The doctor looked at me with guilt and pity. He nodded his head and continued to yelled clear, pressing the two pads on her chest as she jolted up. 

Beep... Beep… Beep... 

It worked. Thank God, it worked.

“Yes!” I yelled out, tears in the corners of my eyes. “Thank you, Relli. Yes.” I whispered to myself before letting a huge smile appear on my face. I ran over to her bed, and hugged her still body tightly. I kissed her cheek before whispering “Keep fighting. You can’t leave now, I won’t allow it.” And kissed her cheek once again. 

“Excuse me but, we must stabilize her, sir. You can wait outside and we’ll call you once she is fully stabilized.” The doctor said while motioning me out. I nodded my head as I walked out the door and sat on the chair. 

My phone started to vibrate, showing Brina’s and I’s face on the screen. 

“Hello?” I answered. 

“Zayn! Wha-what h-hospital are you at? What’s going on wi-with R-Relli? We-we saw her get into an am-ambulance and the-the guy told us wha-what h-happened. Is she… Is she…” 

I could tell Brina was crying, judging by the stuttering and sniffling on the other line. 

“Brina, calm down. She’s being stabilized right now. It’s gonna be okay, love. We’re at the London Hospital.” 

“We’re coming. Thank you, Zayn. See you soon.” 

She hung up the phone while I continued to sit in the chair, impatiently. 

Relli can’t leave me. I don’t want her to leave. My life wouldn’t be the same without her now, knowing that she’ll never be there. It can’t be that way. 

It’s crazy because it had only been a week in a half but damn, the girl had got me hooked.

She makes me so… Happy. A smile is always on my face when I’m around her, or even texting her. I would know because the lads tease my about it all the time.

“Zayn!” My thoughts were interrupted by a girl screaming my name. Oh God, please don’t be a fan, I thought.

I looked up to see Brina. She was walking quite fast towards me, only to engulf me in a huge hug. I hugged her tightly, wrapping my arms securely around her waist as she held onto my neck for dear life. I could tell she was crying due to the puddle forming on the top hem of my shirt. I hugged her tighter for comfort, trying not to cry as well but I felt my eyes starting to water again. We were hugging, just holding each other in our arms, for a long time now. I looked up slightly to see Harry. His face looked sad but filled with jealously and envy, he just stood there awkwardly, watching us. Probably wanting his girl back. I didn’t want to pull back, though. So, I didn’t. I was comfortable, I felt safe. 

Brina and I have gotten close, finding out that we’re alike in many ways. She’s sort of became a really good friend of mine. Not quite best friend, but definitely heading in that direction. I open up easily to her, and I don’t open up fairly often. It was pretty rare. 

Brina finally pulled away, wiping her tears as the other started to approach us. 

“Hey… No reason to cry. She’s gonna be fine, I promise.” I said to her as I held my pinky out for a cheesy pinky promise. She giggled a little and wrapped her pinky around mine, giving me a small smile. The action made my heart flutter, knowing that I was making her feel better, just hearing her giggle ring in my ears. 

I gave everyone a hug and sat down, along with the others. We sat in comfortable silence, praying for Relli, until the doctor came. “Relli is stable now but she’s still unconscious. Where are her parents?” 

“They’re in Vancouver. Business trip. They were going to stay for about a month but they’re trying to get a flight coming back as we speak.” Lana said to the doctor as he nodded. 
“Well, you guys are allowed to see her but remember, she’s still unconscious. She may wake up in a few hours, few days, maybe even in a week or two. So be patient.” And with that, he left. 

We all slowly started to get up and walk towards Relli’s room. I sat down right next to her bed, on the right side while Brina and Lana sat on her left. Louis sat on the left side of me, rubbing my back for comfort. 

I took Relli’s hand into mine and caressed it gently, rubbing circles on it with my thumb. I laid my head down on the bed and turned my head to the right so I could have a clear view of her face. She was so beautiful. Everything seemed flawless and peaceful. I wonder what she could possibly be thinking right now. She doesn’t look distressed or in pain at all, just… At peace. 

Brina seemed to copy my actions, but on the opposite sides. We all just sat there, looking at her, worriedly. Lana and Niall finally broke the silence by stirring up some conversation. I didn’t participate much, but still was engaged in it. We just spent that night in Relli’s room, talking. Brina, Lana, and I eventually fell asleep. Me, holding Relli’s right hand, with my head still on the bed. Brina, in Harry’s arms while still holding Relli’s other free hand. And Lana, in Niall’s arms almost at the end of the bed. The others, well, I dunno what the others did or how the slept cause I was knocked the fuck out by then. 

Brina’s POV:

“Wake up. Zayn, wake up.” Everybody has woken up by now, everybody except for Zayn. I was nudging him, pushing him, trying to make him wake up. “Zayn fuckin’ Malik! Wake the fuck up before I wake you up by ripping your balls off!” I yelled in his ear, making him jump up and fall out of his seat, landing on his bum. 

“God, Brina, really? Now my arse hurts…” Zayn said while rubbing his bum. 

“Would you rather I wake you up the other way?” I said, smirking a bit. 

“Oh, no.” Zayn quickly replied before placing his hands protectively over his crotch. 

“Well then stop complaining.” I returned to the hospital couch, plopping down next to Harry and snuggling close to him. 

“Where is everybody?” Zayn said, noticing that only Harry and I were with him. 

“They’re getting us some breakfast from Nandos cause hospital food sucks and well, Niall was craving Nandos.” Harry replied while putting his arms over my shoulders, pulling me closer. 

“Like always.” Zayn said rolling his eyes, obviously referring to Niall and his Nandos. 

“They’re also getting us spare clothes.” Harry said. 
Suddenly “Alone” by Trey Songz started playing. That was my aunt’s ringtone. Well, the one I assigned her. I started dancing along to it, moving my head and shoulders subconsciously, which Harry didn’t seem to mind at all, then realized that I should probably answer her. 

“Hello, aunty?”

“Brina, are you still at the hospital?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I forgot to tell you but we got invited to a Desi (Pakistani) function today and everybody really wants to see you.” 

“Oh yeah, uh-well, when is it?”

“Well, it’s about 12:30 now and it starts at 3:00.”

“Oh okay. Well, I’ll be at the flat at like… 2:30.”

“Okay honey, see you then. Send my regards to Relli, I’m so sorry. I hope she gets better.” My aunt said with remorse in her voice.

“Yeah, me too. Love you, aunty.”

“Love you, too.” I hung up the phone and looked over to Harry, who had that what’s-going-on look. “My aunt got invited to this Desi party thing and it starts at 3:00 and I gotta go.”

“Desi?” Harry asked.

“Desi means Pakistani, basically. It’s just shorter and easier to say.” I explained.

“Oh, okay. When does it end?”

“Oh, I-uh, didn’t ask her.” I chuckled. “but it probably will only be for a few hours.”

“Oh alright. Well good, I don’t want to be without you for long and it’s good for you to get out a bit, considering this whole situation.” 

“Yeah.” I gave Harry a slight smile and kissed his cheek before glancing over to Zayn. He looks so sad. He really needed to get out. Suddenly, I got an idea, being the genius that I am. “Zayn, why don’t you come with me? You need to get out of this hospital for a bit, forget about things for a little while.” He looked over to Relli before answering. 

“Uh, yeah… Sure. Might as well get some other surrounding besides a white, depressing hospital room.” He smiled a bit then returned to Relli. The way he looked at her was just so… Sweet. Like she’s the only girl in the world. Like, it’s his number one mission to make her happy or even just put a smile on her face. Relli on the other hand… She looks at him like she’s confused. Confused between him and Niall. Yeah, I know that she still likes Niall but I’m glad she’s not doing anything about it cause Niall is Lana’s. And Lana is Niall’s. Well, kinda. Lana still likes Zayn but I’m glad she’s letting Niall in more, giving him a chance, he deserves one. 

Just then, everybody walked in with our clothes and food. Thank the lord, I was fucking starving.

“Foooooooood!” I screamed as Niall gave us our bags. 

“I know right, I’m God damn hungry!” Niall screamed back as I high-fived him. 

“Niall, you’re always hungry.” Louis sassed at Niall as Niall blushed a bit. 

“Yeah, okay, that’s true.” Niall said before sitting down beside the large table. 

We all ate our food, talked and laughed a bit. Everyone was brought into a good mood after breakfast, even Zayn. As everyone was about to change into their clothes I realized that Zayn and I had to go pick our clothes for the Desi function. 

“Zayn, we gotta go!” I said, getting out of Harry’s grip and heading to Zayn. Harry frowned slightly causing me to roll my eyes as I grabbed Zayn’s hand. I could still see Harry frowning so I gave in and kissed him sweetly on his lips. I felt Harry smile into the kiss, making the already existing butterflies grow even more insane in my stomach. 

“Oh, get a room, you two!” Louis yelled, making me pull away. Harry glared at Louis and Louis started to laugh. I just shook my damn head and chuckled. Zayn gave Relli a quick kiss on the cheek before returning to me. 

“See you later!” Zayn and I yelled before getting into a taxi. 

“So, what was your ringtone back there? When your aunt called?” Zayn asked, eyeing my phone. 

“Oh, it’s called ‘Alone’ by Trey Songz. My aunt actually chose that ringtone for her. I have personalized ringtones for everyone.” I replied. 

“Ooooh, what’s mine?” Zayn smiled widely, and creepily. 

“‘Nobody’ by Rich Kidz.” I said, nudging his shoulder with my fist.

“Lemme hear!” He said while whipping out his phone and calling me. The song started to play and Zayn started to dance awkwardly, cause me to clutch my stomach while laughing uncontrollably. 

“Wow Zayn ,you really can’t dance.” I said between giggles. 

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” Zayn said as he nodded in agreement, playfully frowning.
We arrived at Zayn’s flat first as I picked out a nice purple shirt and black slacks. It was kinda chilly outside so it was appropriate. Even though I’m pretty sure the function is inside, but you never know.

“Here, wear this. It’s perfect.” I said while handing him the clothes. 

“Alright, babe.” Just then, Zayn took off his shirt and pulled the purple one over his arms, still unbuttoned. I stood there and gawked at his body like a thirteen-year-old girl, admiring how nice his body really was. “Oi, checking me out, are we?” Zayn said while giving me a cocky grin.

“Wha-pssh no.” I said, feeling my cheeks start to burn. God, make it more obvious, would you, I thought. 

“It’s alright, I’m pretty sexy.” Zayn smirked. 

“Shut up and put your clothes on, child. I swear, you Pakistani men are so vain.” 

Zayn started to button up his shirt and I caught myself staring again. Zayn looked up at me this time and didn’t say anything, just smirked and laughed a bit, shaking his head. I rolled my eyes and got up from his bed, heading for the door. 

“Hey, where are you going?” Zayn yelled out.

“Out of here because you’re changing!” I said, turning around and crossing my arms over my chest. 

“I don’t mind! Honestly!” Zayn exclaimed as he finished buttoning his shirt. I shook my head and leaned against the door frame. He took his pants off, smiling, and quickly put his slacks on before approaching me. “See? No harm done.” A smirk appeared on his face and I noticed he was really close to me so I stepped back and headed for the main door yelling

“Come on, now, don’t wanna be late!” Zayn quickly caught up to me and we both got into another taxi. Thank god there were no fans outside his flat. 

We arrived to my flat and I quickly headed to my room to grab some clothes. I explained everything to my aunt about Zayn coming and she happily agreed. I could see Zayn looking around my room, being very… Intrigued. 

“Like my room, Malik?” I asked a bit cheekily. 

“Yeah, it’s pretty cool.” He said nodding. “What’s this?” He held out my sketchbook and was about to open it. I panicked, not wanting him to see my sketches.

“Uh no, don’t open that!” I screamed as I snatched the book out of his hands. He looked a little scared and a little embarrassed. I chuckled awkwardly. “Ah-don’t be embarrassed… It’s my sketchbook and it’s really personal. Kinda like my diary. Only Lana has seen it.” I said, placing it inside a random drawer. 

“Ah, I see.” He nodded a bit and smiled. 

I quickly got my clothes, ran to the bathroom, and changed into this: http://www.polyvore.com/brinas_desi_function_outfit/set?id=51254348

After I was ready, Zayn, Aunty, and I headed off to the place. 


Zayn’s POV:

After about 45 minutes of driving, we finally arrived to the destination. I thought the drive would be awkward, considering that I didn’t really know her aunt but we actually had good conversation. She was truly a lovely woman. She was actually nice to me. I thought she would hate me cause, well, I’m a boy. Pakistani parents and elders can be really strict and stuff, you know. 

When we arrived to the function, Brina literally ran into this one girl’s arms and gave her the biggest hug I have ever seen anyone give while screaming, “Holy shit! It’s ma main desi bitch!” After they pulled away from what seemed like a million years, she started giggling and laughing immediately. It was so cute. She was so cute. And a little bit insane. Well no, exactly, she’s completely mad! But she looked absolutely beautiful as well. I just adored her. But, I adore Relli as well. It just feels so right with Relli. Like, it’s how it’s supposed to be. Maybe Brina feels the same? She was checking me out when I was half naked… But then again, I was half naked. Maybe that’s why she was looking, just her teenage hormones kicking in.

“Zayn! This is Huda! She’s literally my best Desi friend. I always hang out with her when I’m in London.” She exclaimed while she waved her hands around Huda. 

“Nice to meet you, Huda. I’m Zayn.” I held out my hand for her to shake and she happily obliged. 

“I know.” She laughed. “I’m a fan.” She said. Quite calmly, too, might I add. 

“Ahhh well, vas happenin!?” I said, a bit crazily as she giggled. Huda was cute, quite fit. She was petite but taller than Brina by an inch or two. She had straight, dark brown hair that reached just below her breasts. She had a nice smile and pretty eyes. Long eyelashes, like Brina. But Brina’s eyes were beyond compare. 

Brina, Huda, and I had a long, and very funny, conversation until she had to leave. Brina greeted other old friends as well, she introduced me while they were very calm and collective. It was impressive. Usually girls start screaming, crying, even faint a couple of times. I like this. This… Cool and collectiveness. It was nice. Until some random girl came up behind Brina. 

“Well lookey here… It’s little Ms. Brina with Zayn Malik. Why is a guy like that,” She pointed to me, winking. “with a girl like her?” She finished, pointing to Brina. 
She was blonde and had two little minions by her side, snickering at her words. I had to say, she was a hideous looking whore. Face plastered with makeup, blonde hair with dark skin, which is never a good combination. And her dress was much too short and westernized for a Pakistani event like this. Actually, it was too short for any event. 

“Alaina, what in the mother of all hell do you want?” Brina said, looking slightly annoyed.

“Nothing to do with you. I came for Zayn cause, well, he is one fine piece of ass.” She said, twisting her damaged hair around her fingers. Brina started to snicker and shake her head. 

“What makes you think he wants to know a bimbo like you? Your dress is riding up your ass, your boobs look like a plastic surgery gone wrong, your face looks like a 7-year-old art project, and your hair looks like a cheap wig from Walmart that’s been brushed far too many times.” Brina sassed. I couldn’t help it, I started to burst out laughing. Laughing so hard, I was clutching my stomach to every word she said. Brina joined me but I don’t think she was laughing at her words, but at my reaction to them cause she said, “Zayn, look at your face!” between her laughs. We finally caught our breath and stood up, only to face a pissed off Barbie. 

“Whatever, boys don’t say that in the bed…” Alaina said, proudly. Brina started to snicker again. 

“Of course they wouldn’t say that, they’re too busy fucking you. The reason they go for you is because you are easy. Eeeeeeasy. You’re like a sex drive thru!” Brina put her hand to her ear, as if it was a phone. “(Girl Voice) Hello, what would you like today sir? Everything on the menu is free. (Guy Voice) Uhm yes, I’d like a handjob with a side of 69. (Girl Voice) Coming right up!.” She put her hand down as she looked at me, while I started to laugh off again. Alaina scoffed as she came up to me, and just as I thought she was about to slap me, she gave me a piece of paper and walked off. Ew, her number, I thought. 

“She gave me her number…” I said, waving the piece of paper around. 

“Ewwww. Burn it before you catch her AIDS.” Brina said before grabbing it and ripping it to pieces, throwing each piece into the air. 

We continued to walk around and talk to her other friends before they left. We stayed longer than the rest of people because Brina’s aunt was having fun and we didn’t want to ruin it. We started to walk along a park. A really pretty park. Lots of trees and bushes, little kids running around, and the sky was perfect. Blue and purple, with a hint of white that belonged to the clouds. The sun was peaking through the clouds, giving a beautiful light. I’m glad there was no paparazzi to ruin it. I wanted to enjoy this. 

“So, how much do you like Relli?” Brina said while we walked hand in hand. It was just a friendly gesture, holding hands, nothing more, even though the fluttering in my abdomen could disagree. 

“A lot. I just… Need her to wake up. I need to see her smile so I can know everything will be alright.” I said honestly. “I also think Niall likes her…” 

“Why? He’s dating Lana…” Brina said, looking into my eyes now. 

“I know. It’s just the way he looks at her sometimes. Like, he’s confused. Like, he wants to know what it would be like, to be with her. But he looks at Lana like he truly treasures her, which makes me wonder what he really wants.”

“Yeah, I get what you’re saying, I guess.” Brina said before pausing and stopping us from walking any further. “Zayn, you do only like Relli, right? You don’t like anyone else?…” I was still looking into her eyes so I couldn’t lie. I’m a bad liar plus, I didn’t want to lie. 
“Brina… I-I like you, too. I have ever since I saw you in the concert.” She started to chuckle a bit and shook her head. Why was she laughing? It’s not funny… 

She was looking down now. “Harry thought you liked me. Guess he was right.”

“I-I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything.” Well, I regret that. 

“No, no I’m glad you did. Look Zayn, I’m with Harry… And trust me, you probably don’t even like me the way you think you do. The way you look at Relli, and treat her, and follow her… She’s for you. I’m no. I wish I could just prove it to you somehow.” What did she mean by the way I looked at Relli? Was it the way Harry looks at Brina? I couldn’t possibly be…

“Yeah, I wish we could prove it, too. Cause I really like you, or I think I do…”

Suddenly, Brina’s head popped up. 

“I have an idea…” She trailed off. 

“What is it?” I asked, very curious to what she has to say. 

“Kiss me. If you feel something, you like me. If you don’t feel anything, you don’t. Simple.”

My eyes bulged out of their sockets and my jaw hung open. She was giving me permission to kiss her, something I’ve wanted for the longest time. But there was something that popped into my mind, Harry. 

“Wha-I don’t think Harry would like that…”

“He would understand. Trust me. Just… Kiss me.” I didn’t truly know if Harry would understand, because he gets easily jealous but all I know is that I was leaning closer to Brina and now our faces were only two inches apart. She started leaning in, as well. Without warning, I pressed my lips onto hers and started to pucker. Her lips were really soft and warm, inviting. I kissed her gently and felt her kiss back. I’ve been waiting for this kiss for so long and now, it was finally here. The kiss was… Well, it was. It was just there. I didn’t feel anything. No butterflies, no spark. Nothing. All I felt were her lips on my lips. There was nothing. I wasn’t expecting this at all. I mean, it was pleasurable, but then again, all kisses are. But there’s just no magic in it. No Relli. I thought I liked Brina but now… I think I just like her as a close friend. She pulled away and gave me that well? look. “Be honest.” She said, continuing to look into my eyes so I couldn’t lie.

“I can honestly say that… I didn’t feel anything. Nothing. Kissing you just felt… Awkward. Like kissing a best friend that you’re not in love with.” I felt a smile appear on my face and giant relief. I feel like a huge boulder has just been lifted off my shoulders. Relli’s the one I want. The one I need. The only one. 

“Thank God! Now you can focus on her!” Brina exclaimed. “Oh, it’s 8:00 PM already! We should get back to the hospital.” And with that, we grabbed Brina’s aunt and drove to the hospital. 



Niall’s POV:

We’re all here, hangin out in Relli’s room, well, expect for Brina and Zayn. They’re out to a something function. Dezzee or somethin? I dunno. Lana was on my lap and was looking so gorgeous. She’s wearing: http://www.polyvore.com/lanas_hospital_outfit/set?id=51254444
But, something was wrong. I started to think that I may have feelings for Relli. Like, I sometimes wonder what it’s like to be like her, especially when I see her and Zayn together. I mean, I love being with Lana. It’s amazing and she’s fucking incredible but, Relli is also a beautiful girl and I can’t help but wonder if I would like being in a relationship with her more. She looks at me quite a lot. I catch her staring and we make eye contact, that is, until Lana kisses me and pulls me out of Relli-World and back into Lana-World. Or until Zayn kisses Relli. He looks so happy with her. I will admit, it makes so a little bit jealous, but I’m glad because he used to be head-over-heels for Brina. It made us all very worried cause she is fully and only Hazza-Property. We don’t want any problems within the band to be caused by a girl. 

Just then, Brina and Zayn walked in. 

“Ow ow, looking good Bradford Badboiiiiiiiiiiii!” Louis, Liam, and I yelled in unison as Harry nodded with that cheeky, dimpled grin. 

“God damn, Brina, you look right fit!” Louis exclaimed, causing Harry to shoot daggers at him. Louis laughed and held his hands up in surrender. 

“Aww thanks BooBear!” Brina said while sticking her tongue out. Louis and Brina both agreed and confirmed with the whole gang that only Harry and Brina get to call Louis BooBear, even though he isn’t quite fond of that name, Brina didn’t back down from the argument, causing her to win. Brina and Louis have also gotten close. They act like brothers and sisters. 

It’s weird how close we’ve gotten with these girls in only a small matter of time. We’re all good friends, to say the least. Brina, Lana, and Relli call me “Lucky” cause of the Lucky Charms guy and the fact that I’m Irish. They call Liam “Lilo” cause they once called him LiLi but he said that he didn’t like it so they all agreed on Lilo, seeing as Liam and Louis are always left without a girl because El and Dani aren’t here. 

Zayn immediately sat near Relli and held her hand again. He kissed her cheek then her forehead before laying his head on her bed. 

“So gorgeous, how was the thingy?” Harry asked Brina while holding onto her as if his life depended on it. 

“Oh, it was really fun! There’s one thing I gotta talk to you about, but that’ll be later…” Brina responded before giving Harry a long kiss. After the kiss, Harry was smiling like a little 5-year-old who just got an award for being a good kid. I swear, those two…
“Aww, little Hazza’s smiling like an idiot again! About time, he’s been moping around all day because he’s missed you so damn much!” I exclaimed as Harry gave me a look, then started blushing at the ground. 

“Aww, now you’ve made him embarrassed! Little Hazza’s embarrassed…” Brina said before giving him, yet another, kiss on the cheek and cuddling back up to him. I held onto Lana tighter before placing a light kiss on her shoulder, making her smile that amazing, princess smile. 

“How was the function for you, Zayn?” Lana asked. 

“Oh, it was great. The people were actually calm and not crazy. Except for this one girl. You guys should’ve been there, Brina totally dissed her. If Louis is Sass Queen, Brina needs to be Sass Princess.” Zayn exclaimed while Lana high-fived Brina. 

“Was it Alaina? The blonde one?” Lana asked. Zayn nodded as she turned her head back to Brina and smiled a bit. 

“You go all Madea on her ass?” Lana said to Brina. 

“Gah, no! I should’ve though. That’d be freaking hilarious.” Brina exclaimed. 

“Madea?” Liam asked as we all looked clueless as hell. 

“You-you’ve never seen the Madea movies?” Brina exclaimed. We all shook our heads, except for Lana. 

“Of course they haven’t! It’s a black person movie!” Lana exclaimed. 

“Once Relli wakes up, we are having a Madea marathon!” Brina concluded. We all cheered and yayed until Zayn told us to shush. We all looked at him questionably. 

“Guys, I-I think I felt her hand twitch.” Zayn said as we examined her hand. 

Twitch. Twitch. Twitch. 

We all got up from our seats and crowded around her. 
Her eyes finally opened and we all yelled “She’s awake! She’s awake!” 

“Wa-water.” Relli said after our little celebration fest as Zayn got a water bottle and held it to her mouth, titling it so she could drink the water. I admit, I wanted to be him during that. But I also want to be here, holding Lana’s waist.

“How are you feeling?” Zayn asked as one hand caressed her cheek and the other held her hand. 

“My stomach hurts.” Relli said, causing us to laugh a bit. 

“That’s because you got shot there.” Liam said as a matter of factly. 

“I know.” Relli said chuckling. She was trying to get up to sit but failed to do so from the pain. Zayn and I helped her sit up as Louis called the doctor. The doctor checked her and told us all that she’d been fine and discharged in a couple of days. Thank God. 

The look on Zayn’s face was priceless. He was so happy, so glad. We all decided to give them their space and get some Nandos cause I’m hungry as a mother fucker on weed. I looked at them one more time through the window and saw that Zayn was kissing Relli. 
Oh, how I wish that was me… But at the same time, I don’t.
