Justin saw Tori putting books in her locker and made his way over to her.

"Hey." He greeted, surprising the curly blonde.

"Hey." Tori closed her locker.

"I just wanted to apologize for my behavior yesterday." Justin confessed, as they both walked to class. "I'm just going through something personal."

"It's ok." Tori gave him a small smile.

They got to class and sat in there seats before the bell rang.

As students were still entering the class, Justin was keeping a lookout for Ariana. He found it odd that she still didn't showed up yet. She usually comes on time.

Selena entered the class with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" Tori asked Selena who sat next to her.

"Harry told me he won't be at school today and he won't tell me why. I'm just worried." Selena answered.

Justin overheard them from behind, causing him to eavesdrop.

"Did you ask Ariana?" Tori asked.

"She's not coming either." Selena shook her head. "All I remember is that Harry was freaking out about Ariana running off to meet her dad."

Justin raised an eyebrow. Now that he knows that Harry and Ariana aren't showing up to school, that leaves him to wonder about the boy that been on his mind for the past few days.

So where the hell is Zayn?

He asked himself.

Ariana was in bed, still traumatized about yesterday's event. She couldn't even go to school. It felt like it was all a nightmare to her.

It was all my fault.

That thought kept repeating in her head.

Harry entered Ariana's room with a cup of tea in his hand. He placed it on the night stand.

"Made you some tea." The curly haired boy spoke while sitting on the edge of Ariana's bed.

The little brunette stayed silent. She kept the frown on her face while the memory of last night's event kept repeating through her head.

Harry noticed how traumatized she looked. It reminded him of what happened when he heard about his mom and sister's car accident from two years ago.

"I didn't go to school, because I want to take care of you." He spoke again.

"It should've been me instead of Zayn..." Ariana croaked.

"Don't say that, at least he's alive." Harry said.

"How do you live with it?" She asked, voice full of agony.

"What?" He asked, not understanding what she's asking about.

"You were traumatized before, so how do you make it go away?"

The curly haired boy frowned, remembering his tragic past.

"It doesn't just simply go away. I sometimes still think about it, like it just pops up in my head from time to time. In the beginning I had it really bad, like I didn't want to live anymore." He explained, holding in his tears. "But I know they would want me to continue with my life. It just takes time."

Ariana nodded, understandingly. She felt bad for bringing up his past.

"Zayn's mom said we can visit him at the hospital later." Harry broke the silence.

After school, Justin drove to Zayn's house. He been wondering about the boy all day, wanting answers.

He knocked on the door and Waliyha opened it.

"Justin, right?" The girl in front of him asked.

"Yeah, is Zayn here?" He asked, surprised that she remembered his name.

"No he's in the hospital." She answered.

"Hospital?" He raised his eyebrows. "Why? Is he okay?"

"If he was okay he wouldn't be in the hospital." She said, sarcastically.

He narrowed his eyes at her.

"What happened to him?"

"He got hit by a car."

Justin's eyes widened. He's shocked and worried at the same time.

"Which hospital is he in?"
