Chapter 26

EVIE”S POV:

“-Are you willing to admit to these allegations?” The police officer asked, his tone not nearly as harsh as I had been expecting. I think he felt bad for me. I hadn’t put up a fight when he told me exactly what me test results had proven, what I already knew was true.

“Yes, I am.” I said, lifting my head and looking him in the eyes.

“And you are willing to commit to the schedule that we discussed; the fine, a driving ban, and a certain amount of hours of drug and alcohol awareness classes? We would also suggest setting up weekly meetings with a therapist. That is mostly for your own benefit.”

“Yes, I do.”

“Very good, I am going to speak with your aunt, she being your legal guardian. If you could just wait here for a few minutes?” I nodded, sitting down in the hospital waiting room.

Was that really it?

I was astonished, I had been expecting much worse. I mean, the things I had agreed to weren’t good, and this accident wasn’t going to just go away. But really, I felt relieved. Yet, the guilt I felt was still present, I didn’t see that going away anytime soon.

I sat and waited until Zoey was finished talking with the police. She walked into the waiting room, taking the seat next to me.

Neither of us said anything for awhile, we just sat in a deafening silence.

“Is Zayn going to be alright?” She asked.

“Yeah, I think he is.”

“Does he know about this?”

“Yes.”

“And he let you get behind the wheel of a car?” Her voice rose in volume and emotion, she turned in ehr seat towards me. I looked up at her, seeing shock and anger in her eyes.

“No! He didn’t know until I just told him. He had no idea. We haven’t been seeing eachother… until last night.” She let out a sigh of relief.

“I don’t want to discuss this in detail right now. Not here. But you should know that Will is outside. He was frantic when he found out what happened. I think he want’s to see you.”

Now it was my turn to be shocked. I stared at Zoey, unable to form a sentence. Will was here? He showed up? He cared?

“W-Where?” I stood up quickly, running in the direction that Zoey pointed.

“Right outside those doors.” I saw the faintest of smiles on her face.

I threw open the double doors, immediately seeing Will sitting on a beach to my right, his hands covering his face and his elbows balanced on his knees.

“WIll?” He jerked up, staring at me, relief washing over his face.

“Thank god.” He breathed, getting up and taking three long strides, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. He held onto me tight, not seeming to want to let go any time soon.

“I’m so sorry, Ev. I’m so damn sorry…” He repeated words similar to these, and I just hugged him back.

“I’m alright. We’re all gonna be fine…” After a few minutes, he loosened his grip, looking down at me with concern.

“You have some cuts on your face, did they check over you?” He held me at arms length, looking over my face.

“They did. And I’m okay. I promise.”

“I was so fucking scared, Evie. I don’t know what I would’ve done-” He stopped himself, again covering his face with his hands.

“I know, I know…”

“I can’t lose anyone else.” His words killed me, my heart felt constricted in my chest and I felt tears burn my eyes. His voice was so quiet, I’m not sure if he knew I heard him.

“You won’t lose me. Never.”

“But I coud’ve! Damn it, and it all would’ve been because I was a fucking idiot! I’m so sorry. I don’t know what else to say.” He sat back down and I sat next to him on the bench.

“You don’t need to apologize, Will. It happened, we’ll get past it. But, can I ask you something?” He turned to me.

“Yeah, of course, anything.”

I took a deep breath. “Will you come home. Please? I miss you, so does Zoey. I hate always worrying about you. Plus, it’s like, really boring without you.” I smiled and he grinned, hanging his head and chuckling.

“Yeah, I think I can do that.” He ran his fingers through his hair, taking a deep breath. “You know I love you, right?” I felt tears again, but held them back.

“Yeah, I know. And I love you too.”

ZAYN’S POV:

It’s been two long days of doctors, tests, visits, and lying in this damn bed. Thankfully, Evie has been here for every second of it. The nurses have come to the conclusion that she isn’t leaving, as many times as they ask. She slept in the chair the first night. But I felt so guilty for making her do that, I convinced her to sleep in the hospital bed with my last night. We laid there together for a long time, sometimes talking, sometimes not. She had her leg wrapped around mine (the one not in the cast) and one arm around my waist, the other holding my hand. She explained to me what’s been happening to her lately, and I told her over and over that I didn’t blame her. But I don’t think she could get past it, she still blamed herself.

“I was thinking… maybe I could stay with you for a little while when they let you go home? No offence, but I don’t think Niall would be very good at taking care of you.” I laugh, because just the mental picture of Niall attempting to play nurse is hilarious.

“I’d love that. If you don’t think Zoey will mind…” I’m not sure how she was reacting to this whole thing. I had only seen her once, and she seemed quiet, but not angry.

“I think it’ll be alright. Plus, if I don’t take care of you, who will?”

“That’s true. Because i’m simply not capable of taking care of myself.” I joke, she just giggles. “You know I appreciate everything you’re doing though, right?” I didn’t want her to think for a second that the last few days, everything she’s done, the way she’s been feeling, is going unnoticed.

“Yeah, I think I sort of owe you.”

“You don’t. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you for it.” Her grip around me tightened and for about the millionth time since the accident, I thanked god that she was alright.

“Babe, let me take your bag.”

“Are you kidding me? Absolutely not.” I had finally been released from the hospital and was able to go home. Evie hadn’t wanted to drive (understandable) so we took a cab from the hospital to my building, where she was now insisting on carrying both of our bags up to my flat.

“Come on, Ev, you’re gonna collapse under all of that.” Somehow, we ended up with a lot of tuff in the hospital room that now needed to be transported, unfortunately she was being stubborn and thought that since I had a broken leg that couldn’t hold my own duffle bag.

“Maybe I will if you don’t hurry your crippled ass up and get inside.” She smiled, lifitng a brow, daring me to come back at her. I knew better, she wasn’t gonna let me touch that bag.

“Fine, let’s go.” I hobbled up the steps into the lobby and made it into the elevator without any serious issues.

Once we were both safely inside the confines of my flat, I barely had time to get my crutches to the couch before I heard Niall barelling down the hall, an excited look on his face.

“You’re back!” He said excitedly, smiling from my to Evie. “Thank god, I was getting bored here all by myself.”

“What about Grace, didn’t she keep you company?” At this, his face alterned, his eyes going to the floor.

“Umm…”

“What happened?” Evie asked, setting both of our bags down and motioning for us to follow her into the living room where she made a big fuss of getting my on the couch and elevating my leg with pillows and getting my a glass of water and dimming the lights so I didn’t strain my eyes or get a headache.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the girl, and she was sweet for caring this much, but being cottled wasn’t what I needed right now. I just wanted to get things back to normal.

“Babe, sit down. I’m fine.” I rest my arm on the back of the sofa next to me, offering up the spot to her. She smiled, crawling next to me and squeezing into the small spot.

“Alright, tell us what happened.” I siad to Niall, who was biting his thumb nail and looking uncomfortable with the topic of conversation.

“I dunno, she just- she dumped me. Flat out. Dumped. It was um, a couple days ago, but I didn’t want to bring it up with all of this-” he motioned to my leg with the cast on it “- going on. But yeah…” He nervously lifted the baseball hat from his head, ruffled his hair, and set the hat back down, which was another nervous habit he’s picked up.

“Ah, shit, I’m sorry mate.”

“Me too, Niall. You guys semeed great togehter, I can’t imagine what could’ve happened. Did she say?”

“No, not realy. Just that she was busy and she just didn’t want to ‘string me along’, whatever the hell that means.” He mumbled, clearly upset but wanting to act like he wasn’t.

“Well, if you wanna talk, you can.”

“Thanks but, I’m not really in the mood. I’ll just, leave you two alone…” He got up, shuffling away and leaving me and Evie fully and completely alone, with no chance of interuptions, for the first time in a while.

“So… How long did Zoey say you could stay here?” I smiled down at her, tucking her close to my side.

“She didn’t really say… but she did give me an extremely uncomfortable sex talk before I left, and that was just all kinds of awkward.” I laughed, kissing the top of her head. “I told her I was pretty sure that wouldn’t be an issue, considering your injuries and everything.”

“Hey, don’t underestimate me. I may not be at my full physical abilities but that doesn’t mean I don’t plan on taking full advantage of haivng you here.” A pretty pink flushed across her cheeks and she snuggled closer to me, which I didn’t think was possible since she was pretty much half on my lap at this point.

“Zayn?” She trailed a hand down my arm, holding onto my hand. “I’m so sorry for everything, the way I acted for these past few weeks… I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

I gripped her hand tightly, forcing her to make eye contact with me.

“Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you. You are perfect. And I know you don’t see it, but I do. And I was willing to wait, I still am if that’s what you need. Whatever you want to do with this, with us, I’ll wait until you’re ready.” After those words left my mouth, I knew a small part of it had been a lie. Because if what she wanted to do was not have an ‘us’, than I can pretty much garuntee that I wouldn’t be okay with that. If that was the case, I would fight with everything I had to change her mind.

“I don’t want you to have to wait. I don’t want to wait either. I just want you, Zayn. That’s all.” One tear had barely fallen from her eye when I brushed it away, kissing the spot it had just been. She looked up at me, firmly pressing her lips to mine, bringing her free hand to the back of my neck,

“I love you, Zayn Malik.”

And just like that, the last few weeks, everything bad that had happened leading up to this moment, all faded away. It didn’t matter, none of it did. All that mattered was that she could look at me like she was right now, and tell me she loved me. This girl owned me, like no one else ever had. She had the power to make me the happiest guy on the planet, or to completely destroy me. Either way, it was up to her.

“I love you so fucking much.” I mumbled, my lips not leaving the sweet spot just below her ear. She let out a breathy little moan, making me lose all my common sense, and I shifted in my seat, wanting to be able to touch her in all the ways I had been thinking bout lately. But just as I did, a shooting pain stopped me, causing me to shudder and wince.

“Oh my god, are you alright?!” Evie’s voice was panicked and she put both hands on my shoulders, forcing me not to move.

“I’ll be okay. Guess I do just need to take it easy.” The thought of having Evie living here and not being fully capable of doing all the naughty things I was dreaming of was a form of torture.

“I think that sounds like a good idea. You wanna go to bed, you look tired.” I just nodded, grabbing my crutches and trying my best to get up form the couch, letting Evie help me and trying to swallow my pride. I didn’t like having to lean on someone. But if it was going to be anyone who I was going to be forced to do this with, I’m glad it was her.
