"He finally fell asleep. I feel so f ucking bad for him. He literally adored Liam so much, he doesn't deserve this s hit" Lauren said, looking at Zayn who had fallen asleep in her arms. "Babe plesse help me take him to the couch, I really don't want to wake him up" she told Normani.
                          
"Okay, but you'll have to explain whatever just happened, I'm still so confused. What did Liam do?" Normani said, still so confused as to what was happening.
                          
"I'll explain once we're upstairs, just help me" Lauren told her girlfriend in an annoyed tone. 
                          
"Okay, okay sheesh. I'll grab his legs and you grab his upper half. He's skinny as hell so he shouldn't be too heavy." she told Lauren, staring at Zayn's sleeping form. 
                          
"True, now let's go."
                          
Normani grabbed Zayn's legs and was careful to not wake him. She slowly lifted them up as Lauren slowly got up. 
                          
Lauren did the best she could to hold up Zayn's upper half by wrapping her arms around his chest while Normani had his legs. They slowly approached the living room and set him down on the couch. Once he was in place, Lauren decided to take his pants and jacket off so he could sleep comfortably. 
                          
Normani left the room quickly to get a blanket from the closet for Zayn while Lauren stared down at her best friend. He had tear stained cheeks and blood crusted knuckles which made her feel sad, she never liked seeing her loved ones like this. She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his forehead. 
                          
"He's knocked out cold, aye?" Normani said as she reappeared in the living room. She walked towards Zayn and put the blanket on his sleeping body and made sure every inch of his body was covered. 
                          
She leaned down and kissed Zayn's forehead as well, whispering a "goodnight zee" as she did. 
                          
Lauren also gave him one last kiss on the cheek and ran her fingers gently across his cheek. She was just wishing he'd recover from the pain he was in. 
                          
"Okay let's go" Lauren said, grabbing Normani's hand, leading her back upstairs to their bedroom.

Zayn slowly awoke as he felt a vibrating noise beneath him, coming from under his pillow. 
                          
He groaned and decided to ignore it, he had a feeling he knew who it was. When the vibration finally stopped, he grabbed his phone and checked the time. It was currently 10:30 AM. He could also smell the delicious breakfast food coming from the kitchen, and could faintly hear Lauren and Normani talking. 
                          
He unlocked his phone and saw how many notifications he had.
                          
30 missed calls from My Darling 
10 missed calls from Andy 
15 missed calls from #1 Mum 
                          
50 unread texts from My Darling 
20 unread texts from #1 Mum 
5 unread texts from Andy 
                          
"Shit" he whispered to himself. He was about to call his mom back until his phone screen went black, his phone had just died.
                          
"Well that's just fucking great" he said to himself. He slowly got up off the couch and noticed he was only in his boxers. He looked for his pants and noticed they were folded neatly on the recliner across the living room. He grabbed his pants and put them on and also put on his shoes that were placed on the floor next to the recliner. After he was done with that, he made his way into the dining room surprising Lauren and Normani. 
                          
"Hey sleepy head, didn't know you'd be awake right now. How do you feel?" asked Lauren, her voice full of sympathy and concern. 
                          
"Like shit" was all he responded with, because truly that's how he felt. Like shit.
                          
"Here, sit down. Lemme grab you a plate of food, you must be starving" Normani said, getting up out of her spot and going into the kitchen. 
                          
Zayn made his way to the chair across Lauren and sat down. 
                          
"Here ya go big boy" Lauren said, handing him a cup of orange juice and two pain killers.
                          
"Thanks Lo" he said, swallowing the pills and taking a sip of his juice.
                          
Normani came back into the room and put down the plate of food in front of him. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, and hash browns were on the plate and ge couldn't be more happier.
                          
"This looks amazing, thanks Mani" zayn said appreciatively as he grabbed a fork and knife and started cutting up a piece of pancake and eating it.
                          
"Look Zayn, I don't wanna pressure you into telling us the full story of what happened, but we're really worried and want to know, only if you'll tell us. I have a feeling I know what it is but I really would love to know the exact details" Lauren said cautiously. 
                          
"I'll tell you guys after I finish eating" Zayn said in a sad tone of voice.
                          
"Fair enough" Lauren said, and they continued to eat their breakfast in silence.
