Snippet #2346395

Not long after he'd been placed into his room, Zayn had awoken and the tube that had been in his throat had been removed. He was now sitting in the bed, his legs covered with the scratchy hospital blanket. He still couldn't believe that he'd gotten alcohol poisoning. He'd only wanted to forget his sorrows and now look at him. He was in a hospital, the guys trying to make sure that the reporters didn't find out what room he was in. He couldn't have asked for better friends. Instead of asking Zayn why, Jay and the twins had only hugged him tightly when he'd awoken. They'd told him glad that they were that he was alright. The three of them had left Zayn alone in the room, left alone in his thoughts. He was glad that Jay hadn't called Sarah. Hailee didn't need to see him like this. She never would if he had any say in it. As he thought about what he'd done the night before, Zayn couldn't help but think how selfish he'd been. He had so many people that depended on him and all he'd been thinking about was getting rid of his momentary pain. He gave his handsome head a small shake. He would try to do better in the future.

As Zayn was lost in thought, staring off towards the far wall, the door to his room opened. He paid it no mind, thinking that perhaps it was one of the guys. “Hello, Mr. Spicer, I’m Billy, I’ll be taking over for Miss Amy. She got called away. Is there anything I can get you to make you more comf-“ said a female voice. “Comfortable.” Zayn quickly turned his chocolate eyes upon the female. She was quite pretty, Zayn thought as he eyed the girl. He watched as she went about her job. Had they not told her who he was? That was strange. He was sure that it was the talk of the hospital. He wondered if he should tell her, since once the reporters figured out who was the nurse taking care of him, would begin to pester her. “You know, as ironic as it is, today is a pretty okay day to end up in the hospital. Apparently, some celebrity is in here. There’s a throng of reporters outside. Maybe you’ll get put on TV if you get well enough to leave before they do.” Billy said, smiling at him. "Just trying to make light conversation… but seriously, can I get you anything?” Zayn thought for a moment. Did he need anything? "Perhaps a glass of water?" he softly asked. He was still feeling a dizzy and was hoping that some water would help with it. Just as he asked Billy for some water, the door opened again and shut very quickly. Jay had managed to sneak back into the room and Zayn was sure that it had not been easy. He smiled apologetically at his friend. As if not noticing Billy, the bass player began speaking. "Zayn, this had better be the last time you are in the hospital. It's insane out there. Luckily, Brody and Cody are amazing at keeping the camera on them. You know how they are. They love the attention almost as much as you do." Zayn laughed at his friend. He wondered if Billy knew of their band and if so how would she react to finding out that he was the reason for all of the trouble. Jay seemed to pay the girl no mind at all, continuing to speak. "They're all like, 'How's Zayn? Did he OD? What does this mean for Pillar of Society?' I mean really? Reporters are fucking stupid.They can't even let you get better before trying to bombard you." Jay gently sat down in the chair that was near the hospital bed.

It was obvious to Zayn that his friend was stressed and it was all his fault. He would have to find a way to make it up to the band. "Oh, this is Billy." Zayn said, motioning towards the nurse. "Billy, this is Jay." Jay smiled at the girl. "Pleased to meet you, Billy. Thanks for helping take care of this idiot." he said. "Sorry that I've cause you so much trouble." Zayn said towards the girl. He meant it. He had not meant to cause such problems that night when he'd began drinking that night.
