Just Bestmate

Chapter 7 - New Memories

Liam POV

Later on, a doctor came in.

Me and Harry went to him.

"The surgery was a success. We removed the damage tissue and the clot."

These words meant nothing to me at all. I didn't understand them.

"When will he wake up?" I asked.

"Probably in about 3 hours."

"Can we go see him?" I asked.

"Give it some time, but yes."

I nodded, "Thank you." I said.

He nodded and left.

Harry looked at me and smiled. Than he hugged me tight.

I hugged him back.

"Zayn's okay." Harry whispered into my ear.

"Let's go check on Niall." I said.

He nodded and we went to Niall's room.

Niall was asleep in a bed. He had an IV in his arm.

I sat down next to him and lightly shook him.

"Niall." I said.

His eyes fluttered open.

"Zayn?" He muttered.

Hearing his name made my heart drop a little. I don't really understand why.

"No, no Niall its Harry and Liam." Harry said.

He opened his eyes fully.

"Oh. Hey." He said softly. "How is he?"

"He's out of surgery." I said, Niall smiled.

"Does he like... Remember?" Niall asked.

"We don't know yet." I admitted looking down and frowning. Suddenly the reality of it all hit me. Niall put his arm on my shoulder.

"He'll remember." He said assuringly.

I nodded slowly.

"Hey maybe I should've passed out." Harry said.

We looked at him, "Why?" I asked.

"Look at this comfy bed Niall got!" He laughed, "I slept on the fricken floor!"

We all laughed.

"Speaking of sleeping on the floor, we should wake up Louis."

Harry nodded and left. I stayed with Niall.

"You okay?" I asked Niall.

He nodded slowly. Than teared up.

"I'm sorry Liam. I should've drank water like you told me. I was just... I don't know... And I didn't..."

I pulled him in tight.

"No. No Niall its okay." I said.

"Really?"

"I'm not mad." I said.

We pulled away and he wiped his tears.

"Dammit." he muttered. "I hate crying."

"I know." I said ruffling his now fallen hair.

He laughed. "Can you go get a nurse? I'm about to rip this out of my arm." He said pointing to his IV.

I nodded and left.

Okay. Ones okay. Only one more to check on.

...

ZAYN

Someone's here.

Someone else. He's talking to me.

What's he saying?

Zayn? That's sounds better than zany.

Do I know him? Wait is he crying?

Why is he crying?

Did I die? Am I dead?!

No I'm not dead.

Wait I know his voice... I remember it.

I remember this guy. Maybe he's the one from my thought?

I hope so.

Wait his name is Liam? That's sound familiar...

Yes Liam! Liam Payne!

Wait how do I know that?

Wait Liam... Liam my best mate. My bandmate!

I'm in a band?

Yes I am!

Oh my god Liam! Does he think I'm dead?

I fought hard to get to the surface. Clinging to all my new memories popping up.

Slowly I felt myself regain my body again.

I slowly started to fell Liam's hand in mine. I closed my fingers around his hand.

My memories flooded back in. I felt the warmth of his hand.

Than I slowly tried to open my eyes
