PART 23

"Harryyyyyyy open up pleaseeeee" Niall had been knocking on Harry's apartment door. Niall doesn't know what happened between him and Zayn but he's sure that its bad.

Real bad.

No matter how heart broken Harry is, he would never lock himself on his apartment. Harry always say that he's strong when it comes to heartbreaks but not this time. Because this time, Zayn broke his heart, again! Niall sighed as he wiggled the doorknob again "Harry, come on....I thought you're stronger than the heartbreak?" Niall said as he let go of the door knob and knock instead "Zayn is just another person out there, don't let it get to you" when Niall said this, he heard a clicking sound coming from the inside of the door and it opened revealing Harry who's curls are all over the place and he's wearing a plain white shirt and grey jogging pants "Zayn isn't just another person out there" Harry said irritated as he pushed Niall on the side and exited his apartment.

Harry went to his desk and sat on his chair, slouching "Zayn's my person okay?" He added, his voice soft. Niall sighed and slowly approached him "I'm sorry for saying he's just another person" Niall stopped inches away from Harry and he started to fix Harry's curls "And you're still saying he's your person after pushing you away? Again?" Niall asked as Harry sighed and sniffed as he can feel his tears coming in

"You deserved better Harry....I mean, Zayn's a good person but, he doesn't deserved you...look what he's doing to you" Niall said as Harry swapped his hands away from his curls "Seriously Harry, Zayn has issues about himself and he's dragging you along with him" Niall said slightly raising his voice as Harry stood from his seat and walked past Niall and spun around looking at Niall's blue eyes "We've broken up okay?" Harry shouted back as Niall stepped back and stared at Harry with wide eyes.

Niall thought they're only fighting but gosh he's surprised to hear that they've broken up.

Harry looks at his hands before slowly dropping his self on the floor. Once he's on the floor, his shoulders began to shake and he covered his eyes with his hands and started crying. Niall slowly crouched down to him and put his hand on his shoulder, giving him comfort "Oh Harry...I'm so sorry..." Niall softly said "He...he did it again Niall" Harry shakily said "He abandoned me again...just like he did back then" Harry added as he cried some more. Niall pulled Harry towards him as he hugged him. Harry's hands instantly found Niall's waist as he hugged him back and began to cry on his shoulder.

After Harry's breakdown, they're now cross-sitting on the floor just beside Harry's desk "Are you ready to tell me what happened?" Niall asked as Harry folded his knees up to his chest and encircled his arms around them "I thought his hero complex isn't that serious but he pushed me away Niall....he pushed me away" Harry answered as tears began falling again "Liam said something to him that triggered his self esteem....He doesn't even want to talk to me about it" Harry sniffed as he wiped his tears by his hands "I tried talking....I told him I only need him and not 'the hero Zayn' but he pushed me away" Harry swallowed his saliva that's been lumping on his throat "I thought he changed....I thought he's no longer like before...." Niall keeps on listening "This is much painful than back we were at high school Ni! I....I...I can't make myself to hate him just like I used to" Harry looks at Niall with teary eyes as Niall's heart broke seeing Harry

"I love him" Harry said as he cried some more as Niall moved beside him and drape his arm on Harry's shoulders rocking his body and Harry's as comfort.

"Ssshhh shhhhh everything's gonna be alright....you're going to get through this" Niall said as he lets Harry cry on his side "You're strong Harry....you'll get through this"

Louis jogged towards Zayn's apartment. He needed to talk sense to his best friend. He knows that having low self-esteem is not a joke but he will try his best to talk to Zayn and change his mind. Harry's too precious and he believes that Zayn won't be able to resist him. He'd been searching for Harry for years and now that he's got it, and developed feelings for him, he should keep him and treasure him. Louis knows that Harry's a good person and fits for Zayn so Zayn better rethink his actions or he's going to Lose Harry forever.
