(Zayn's POV: The next morning Sunday)
I was discharged from the hospital at 8am this morning. I felt worse now than I had before I checked into that bloody hell-hole. I spilled my guts out to Liam last night. He scolded me for lying to Briar in the first place. I knew that would happen since he is considered the "Daddy" of the band. I knew going along with Louis plan to use our nicknames would backfire somehow but, at the time, we couldn't risk the media attention and assumptions of possible drunk driving being the cause of out accident that night. Just to clear things up, the weather was to blame... we drink responsibly. Regardless of past decisions, good or bad, I should have been truthful to Briar.
"Hey Paul, can we get some food before we get to the hotel? Hospital food isn't much for satisfying hunger." Liam asked from the back seat of sedan.
"No kidding. Where to?" Paul responded.
I had been in my own little world when Paul's monstrous elbow nudged me.
"Where do you wan to go?"
Automatically the voice inside my head screamed Briar's house but, luckily I stopped my mouth from saying the true destination I desired.
"Doesn't matter. Where-ever Liam wants to go." I mumbled.

(Briar's POV: Sunday morning)
I woke up bright and early to check my phone for missed calls and unread text. Needless to say I had neither. I was actually surprised I was up so early considering I didn't sleep worth a damn due to the possible realization I had. Could Zayn from One Direction and the guy I was, more or less, crushing on be the same person? How possible could that be? I wasn't for sure but, I damn sure was conflicted. I could hear Ella talking to someone. I got up and peered around the corner from the kitchen.
"Thanks."
"No, thank you for the number. You have a great day, Ella." the UPS man said as he handed Ella a box.
"I didn't know UPS delivered on Sundays." I announced as I rushed over to her with excitement.
"That's what I said. David said he was paid to deliver this today." Ella said, shaking the package vigorously.
"Who's it for?"
"Ummm... Sleeping Beauty?" Ella responded, cocking her head to the side like a puppy does when it hears a strange noise.
A smile stretched across my face and a light chuckle escaped my full lips, " That is from Lou and DJ."
"Well... Open it!" Ella anxiously shoved the box into my hands, "Open it!"
It was extremely light in weight and was no bigger than a pencil case.
"It's probably a bracelet or some kind of inexpensive jewelry." I said whilst opening it delicately.
" I don't care if it's a piece of paper that says I.O.U., open the dang box!" Ella rushed.
I laughed at how impatient she was and how it was pure torture for her to watch me take my time opening the box. Convinced I had tormented her enough, I opened the box.
"It's a... piece of paper." I said, highly amused.
I unfolded the paper to find 3 concert tickets. Tickets to see One Direction on August 22nd.
