My Sister's Boyfriend ◾ Ziall [EDITING]

Chapter 24

Hey curlies!

After this chapter I am going to put this book on hold. I won't write any more of this story until my other stories have lots more reads. I'm sorry everyone, but I've had enough of people just reading this story. I have other stories too!

This story is going to have a sad/teary ending so...sorry about that. I'm not going to give away much but...a few people die. Like, I'm so sorry. I really shouldn't be having a sad/teary ending.

Thanks for taking time to read this if you actually do read my author notes.

P.S. Just a short update for you guys. I can't be bothered to do much anymore but cry and try not to cut... Hope you enjoy the update. :)

NIALL

Now that Ash has shown Luke everything, they are perfectly fine. Mike and Cal on the other hand are dreadful. They've been making out any fucking chance they got, and it has been annoying everyone in this house. They are still in their first stage, so it is understandable...kinda.

I mean, Zayn and I haven't done much like that. We've made out like twice, and kissed a few times. That's it. True, we haven't had much time to do anything, but that hardly matters. If he really loves me, like he says he does, he would drop everything else and spend time with me.

I know how selfish that sounds. I just need to spend time with my boyfriend. Ever since we made it official, Zayn has been even more distant than usual. I think it's because he's still worried that he caused me to try again. It isn't his fault at all. It was mine; every single time.

"Ni?" Ash asks. "You alright?"

I scoff. "Do I look alright to you, Ash?"

"Nope. I was just asking, mate."

"I know. I shouldn't have been rude."

"Hey, it's fine."

"No it's not!"

Ash pulls me into a hug. "Everything'll work out."

"It won't. Nothing ever will."

"Hey. You got Zayn didn't you?"

I shrug. "I guess."

Ash pulls back. "What is that meant to mean?"

"Nothing."

"Niall."

"It's nothing, Ashton!"

I yank myself out of Ash's hold and sprint up the stairs. I slam my door shut and go into the bathroom, locking both doors. I fill the tub up and slide into the calming water, knowing what I have to do. I swore not to, and now I'm going to do it.

ASHTON

"Niall!" I yell. "Get your ass out of there!"

"Ashton?" Zayn mumble sleepily. "What's going on?"

"Niall fucking locked himself in his room!"

"He's in the bathroom."

"Was there running water?"

"Fuck!"

"Zayn?"

"Fuckfuckfuckfuck. Fuck!"

"Settle down!"

Zayn sprints back into his room and pounds on the bathroom door, yelling at Niall. There is a slosh and Zayn starts hitting the door harder. I pull him back from the door and kick it, hard. The door shudders and I keep kicking until there is a hole in the door.

I manage to unlock the door and get inside with minimal damage. Zayn shoves me out of the way and runs over to the bathtub. He falls down next to the tub and starts sobbing. I slowly walk over to Zayn and stop dead when I see Niall's pale, prone form under the water.

"LUKE!" I yell. "MIKE! CAL! LARRY!"

"ASH?!" Luke calls. "Where are you?!"

"Zayn's bathroom!"

"FUCK!" Larry yell. "NIALL!"

"Hurry!" Zayn yells.

"Zayn?" Waliyha mumbles. "What's going on?"

"Go, Wali. Now."

"Zayn-"

Zayn looks at her. "GO!"

Waliyha turns and runs out of the bathroom. A door slams and I guess that she ran into her room and slammed the door. Zayn reaches into the tub and grabs Niall's arm. I grab one of Niall's legs and together we manage to pull him out of the tub with minimal water on the tiled floor.

Everyone runs into the bathroom and I see Cal on the phone. He pales at the sight of Niall and continues talking into the phone. It's then I realize that he is calling for an ambulance. Mike is trying not to cry, but is failing miserably. So are Larry and Luke.

"The ambulance is on the way," Cal says quietly.

"What did they say to do?" Zayn mumbles.

"Try to get the water out of his lungs. That's all we can do."

"CPR?"

"How else, Zayn?"

Zayn starts doing CPR on Niall and I watch him. I feel like I am a million miles away and like this is just a really bad nightmare. Most of all, I just feel numb. Like, really numb. I feel like cutting again. I don't want to go back to relying on cutting to keep me feeling alive.

MICHAEL

"Ash?" Luke asks. "Talk to me."

"He's in shock, Luke," Cal murmurs. "Just leave him."

"You're gonna hate me for saying this," I mutter.

"Saying what?"

"That we need Niall right now."

Ash looks over at me, dead flatness covering his face. "He's gone, Mike."

Luke pales. "No. He's gonna make it."

"Look at him, Luke. He's dead."

Cal looks over at Niall and his eyes widen in shock. I follow his gaze and see Niall's chest rising and falling feebly. I nudge Luke and he looks at me before looking over at Niall. He gasps and Ash looks over at Niall, shock covering his face. I walk over to Niall and kneel next to him.

"No..." Niall breathes. "How..."

"Niall?" Ash mumbles. "How...?"

"I hate you, Ashton."

"You're...alive..?"

"No...fucking shit. I don't know how..."

"These two idiots saved your life." Cal teases weakly.

Niall groans. "I...hate you...all..."

"We love you too."

"Ha..ha..ha..."
