"Come to one of us when you feel like doing it again, we'll watch over you Harry," Zayn says genuinely, "we can't lose you too."
That's exactly what Harry did. Whenever he felt lowest or got a burning sensation on his wrists, he would cry and go to the first man he saw at the time. They always made it better, they would coddle Harry, taking his mind off the feelings, trying the best they could. They would rub the boy's wrist and hold him when he cries. At some point after Harry had admitted to wanting to hurt himself, Niall and Liam went into Harry's bathroom and decided it would be best to take anything harmful out of there, along with anything they found in the room while Zayn and Shawn held him, pleading once more as the sensation got stronger that day.
Each of the men would take turns keeping an eye on him, making sure he ate, and that he got out of bed for only a little while at a time, thinking it would do Harry good. Along the road, Harry did start to feel better, starting to get out of bed on his own, not having to be forced to eat "Only a little bit more". Though he still had his very hard days and He would never "get over" Louis' passing but he started to heal, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Shawn stayed by his side the whole time, nursing him back to life as some people would word it.
When Harry was finally strong enough to push himself to want to go outside, they all were next to him, telling Harry just how proud they were of him. They told him as much as they could, they knew Harry needed to hear that, and they truly are so proud of him. He opened up more, spent more time out of his room, he even started going to visit his own family, and soon enough, he worked his way to seeing Louis' family. It hurt how distant he was from them but everyone welcomes him back with open arms, just thankful he was getting better, thankful he came to see each and every one of them because that's not only what Harry needed, but they needed it too.
As time goes on, it got easier for Harry to move with his life, he still has his bad day, and he will always have his bad days but he's growing, he's getting better. Louis was his soulmate, Louis Is Harry's soulmate, both as a friend and a lover. Everyone knew that, so when Harry came to his mates one day, sobbing because he had started to like someone he met at the bakery he started working at, no one was particularly shocked when he started to spew on about how it felt like he was cheating on Louis.
Both Harry's friends, family, and Louis' family had to sit with him, telling him how Louis would want Harry to get back out there, to be happy. It was heartbreaking to hear but Harry knew they were right, though it didn't feel right to start to date someone else so he took it slow, took his time. Everyone around Harry, even Harry himself, was so proud of how far he's come, Harry was himself again.
