Niall couldn't find his fucking charger. "Shit." He was desperate to get his phone back to life, because right before it died, Louis had left a very worrying and cryptic message in his Tumblr inbox.

antarcticmonkeys: Niall we need you rn get on your fuckimg kik I'm leaving tonight

What the hells that supposed to mean?

Niall checked under tru mattress, under his bed (he found some money under there), in the kitchen, between the cushions . . . he checked every fathomable place. He didn't want to keep Louis waiting, and there was only one solution.

He was going to download Kik onto his computer.

Which was not going to be an easy task because he had no space on it (thanks, Ashton fucking Irwin), but he was going to have to delete some of his favorite Ashton pictures, because his family needed him. He was not, under any circumstances, going to let them down.

After a few long, agonizing minutes, Kik had finally downloaded. Niall didn't think he had ever typed faster than when he logged in at that moment. He clicked the group chat immediately, and he saw that Zayn and Louis were talking about. . .traveling plans?

lou: and okay I guess we can all meet up at the hospital? I'm at a stoplight rn which is why I'm texting

z.m: Louis we can't all drop everything and go like you can what am i, with a life, going to do?

lou: do you have a job?

z.m: no but I had an interview later today

lou: oh shit

z.m: but it's like a 40 minute (((note these are not actual times, I made them up))) drive I'll make it as soon as I can

n.h: wOAH WOAH WOAH Wtf is going on

z.m: liam is in the hospital, his sister told us that liam was depressed, and so he had pills. He overdosed on the pills that's all we know. Liam is at the hospital Harry works at.

Niall would remember that moment forever.

That was his moment. The moment where something takes you so aback that you can remember everything you were doing before, and after, and your memory becomes sharper than it already was.

Niall shook his head. He didn't believe it. He read over the message again, and again, and again, but every time he read it it sunk in further.

Liam Payne, the man Niall idolized was now in the hospital. That was irrelevant now.

Liam Payne now became a friend - a best friend. Liam Payne wasn't an idol to him anymore, he was a normal person. A normal person that caused Niall to piss himself laughing, a normal person that didn't demand Niall's attention, but got it regardless.

n.h: this isn't fuckimg happening
