(EDITING) Under A Lonely Moon

Part Twenty Eight

Zak's P.O.V

My head hurt. Really really hurt.

I opened my eyes and sighed. I was in the damn hospital again. I sighed again in irritation.

'Zak?' Nathan called unsure. I knew it was him because of his smell. And obviously the sound

Of his voice.

'Sorry.' I whispered, but I knew he heard because he sighed.

I felt the bed dip and turned and snuggled into Nathan's side. He was the only other person beside

Nova whose arms I felt safe in.

'What are you sorry for?' He asked as he traced small circles into my back with his thumb.

'Causing trouble again.' I whimpered. I was always bothering them. Now more than ever. I was

So pathetic I was even pissing myself off, which made my mood worse.

I knew I shouldn't be acting the way I was. I knew I was making myself ill, but I couldn't help it.

I just lost all motivation and interest in everything, except my son. He was the only thing that kept

Me going at the moment.

'Zak, how many times do we have to tell you. Your no trouble at all. Now stop beating yourself up

About it alright.' He patted my back reassuringly.

'Okay.' I mumbled. 'But I'll try to be better. Promise.' I snuggled more into his side as he chuckled.

'Okay bud. But I understand why your acting like you are. You miss Nova and I don't blame you

For being worried. Just know we're here for you so you don't have to feel so alone. Alright.'

I nodded, touched by his words. My eyes watered but I wiped them clean. No more crying.

'Morning you two.' I looked up and saw Micky's smiling face, which I returned. 'How you feeling?'

His features turned serious and I knew I was in trouble.

'My head hurts.' I mumbled, trying to hide in Nathan's side.

'I should think so. You're gonna have quite a scar there.' He sighed and sat in the chair at the

bedside. 'Zak you need to start looking after yourself properly. If you don't start eating correctly

I will hospitalise you and you won't leave until Nova comes back. Am I clear?' He growled.

'I-I'm s-sorry.' The tears that I had held back now came and flowed freely down my cheeks. 'I'll

Eat properly. Promise.' I whimpered.

'Zak, don't cry. Come on. I know it sounds like I'm being harsh, but I'm just looking out for you.

Do you understand?' Micky sighed.

I nodded and sniffled. I knew they were all just looking out for me but I just felt so vulnerable and

Scared.

'Good. Your free to leave. Nathan can change your bandage every day so you only need to come

Back if there's any problems and also in two weeks to remove the stitches.' Micky got up and left.

'Come on bud, Kasper misses his daddy.' Nathan laughed, patted my back and stood up.

He held out his hand for me to take, grinning like a fool. I smiled and took his hand in mine as he

Pulled me from he bed gently.

My son was in the living room. I heard his giggles and squeals of joy from down the hall, making

Me smile and hurry. I ended up passing Nathan and dragging him behind me, which made him

chuckle.

'Ricky you'll tickle him to death if you carry on!' Axel was pulling at Ricky's arm trying to tug him

Away from Kasper, who was lying on his side giggling happily.

'What you doing to my poor baby.' I pouted. Ricky looked over at me in surprise. I put my hands

On my hips and tapped my foot on the floor, 'well mr?' He grinned like a moron and pounced off

The floor and tackled me. His back hit the floor as he hugged me tight to his chest.

'God you scared the hell outta me! I'm glad your ok. Can't lose my best bud now can I?' He

chuckled when I playfully hit his chest.

'Thank you for looking after Kas for me.' I said as he stood us up.

I walked over to my baby boy. He looked up at me and smiled a huge gummy smile, clapping his

Tiny hands together above his head. I picked my lil man up and hugged him.

Nothing and no one would touch my baby. Ever. I'd kill them before they got the chance!
