Patient X

Dr. Horan knew that he shouldn't get involved with his cancer patients. Too much attachment. They'll come in for a few weeks to receive the treatment, then boom, they're dead. Which is why it was so hard for him when Zayn came. The black-haired boy was so young, so healthy-looking, that you wouldn't even guess that he was dying. Niall couldn't help but feel drawn to Zayn. He wanted to help him, and now more than ever, he wanted the treatment to work. To save the boy that he was falling in love with.
