Waliyha and I are chatting while we wait on Zayn to bring us back coffees.

Dan is still in the waiting room but popped his head in for a second to say hi . Zayn is taking longer than expected and I suspect he's returning phone calls and answering some on behalf of me .
My phone is dead and I'm waiting on Jules with my charger .

Zayn reappears with a tray of coffees .
"Were you talking to mom " I ask taking my coffee .
"Yep , she wanted to come but I told her not to , and ruby too " he replies
"Thanks , thats all i need is them hoovering around me acting as if I'm on my death bed " I laugh but he just offers me a small smile .

"I think il go see Dan " Waliyha says and I suspect it's to give us space .

"You had me worried sick " he finally says and sits by my side on the bed .

"I'm ok .
I hope I can say the same about the bike thou . I hope it's not a right off" I moan and throw my head back shaking my head .


"Fucken bikes, you shouldn't be on them in the first place . They are death traps " Zayn spits out as he stands up shaking off his obvious frustration .

This is the first time I have ever heard him object to my way of life and his outburst shocks me .

I say nothing and leave him rant if it makes him feel better .

"Ms Carmicheal , how are you feeling ?" The doctor asks as he enters and Zayn catches his breath before sitting in the armchair by the door .

"I feel as bad as I look " I reply

"Your results are In and I have had a look , your knee well you have damaged a ligament which means this support brace needs to stay put and you will need to rest it . You will be on crutches " he says flipping thru my chart .

"Oh really ? How long for I need the use of both my legs as you can imagine " I reply and Zayn scowls at me .
I ignore him .

"Well your rib on your right is fractured so that will need to heel too . Other than that its only cuts and bruises " he smiles
"How long ?" I ask again impatient this time .

"6/7 weeks after a checkup which I will set up for you in London " he replies .

I sigh stretching my head back into the pillow .
7 weeks ? I can't do 7 weeks !

"And after will there be damage permanently " Maxine asks overhearing the doctor she steps into the room .

Zayn buries his head in his hands .

"Not that I can see no , she was very lucky , she could of done real damage " he explains .

I sigh a breath of relief as does Maxine.

"And traveling can I travel ?" I ask
"Travel where ?" Zayn snaps .
"Mexico , I'm not cancelling even thou il spend it hopping about " I reply but Zayn looks at me in deadpan so I scowl back at him .
No way I'm cancelling and I know that was his intentions from the minute I asked .

"Once you take it easy and rest up . No jet skiing or anything " the doctor laughs .

"She won't " Zayn snaps but its aimed at me .

He looks mad .


What the fuck is he mad at ? .....

He gets up to see Wayilha and I think it's a cigerette he's going for instead .
I could do with one now to take the edge off but for the time being I'm stuck in this bed .


I'm laying down resting my eyes while Maxine and Jules rally around me rescheduling my schedule .


Zayn pops his head in to tell me hes walking Dan and Waliyha down stairs to the car park . Dan is bringing Waliyha back down to Bradford while Zayn stays with me I suspect .


"Ok I think she needs rest don't you " Zayn snaps at Maxine as he re-enters my room . She nods agreeing with him.


"I should get back to London , mark is going to write up a statement for the press and Jules will stay to handle anything you need from this end . I can get James here ASAP to you " she asks

"She doesn't need James or jules . She has me And once she's discharged i will have her in London " Zayn says but There is frustration in his tone .

"Il be fine , I don't need jules . She can do what she needs to do from London. Zayn is here so I won't be needing James . I'm in the private ward Maxine I will be fine please " I plead with her and I just want them out , all of them so I can talk to Zayn alone .

I hate seeing him like this when all I want is his comfort right now ....

I miss him and he's right here .
