Hope

Chapter 1

This is a sequel to Not Normal so I suggest reading that first.

Three boys were running through some sort of secret hideout. There were alarms blaring as the boys were running. They had to find a way out, but they heard footsteps and voices getting closer from all directions. They were surrounded.

Ok, I know this doesn't look good and I'm sure you've probably guessed who the three boys are. Harry, Liam, and me, Niall. I know last you left off with us, Harry and I weren't in the best condition. Let's rewind a bit, so you can know exactly what happened.

Liam was in the kitchen of the cabin he started renting. It has been two days since everything happened. He had gone out to buy clothes for Harry and Niall and changed the two boys after they moved in. He's not sure if either of them would be comfortable with that, but he couldn't leave them in their superhero suits. Harry has been completely unresponsive, despite how minor his injuries looked now. Niall had healed him, but he still hasn't woken up yet. Liam is worried, though, because Harry needs to have some water soon, but the boy is completely unconscious. Niall, on the other hand, is a different kind of worry. He's had a high fever since they got there. He'll wake up briefly, but when he does, he's not really there. He's not really aware of his surroundings whenever he wakes up. Liam knows that it's probably fever dreams and hallucinations. The older boy takes advantage of those moments, though, to give him water and sometimes tries to get a couple crackers or chips in him so he at least has some food.

Liam was eating some macaroni and cheese that he made for himself. He bought some food also when he bought clothes for Harry and Niall. Liam also knows that they're going to run out soon and he's running out of the money he had saved. He's going to need to get a job, but he also doesn't feel comfortable leaving the two younger boys in their current states. Once he was done eating, he put the plate in the sink and walked towards the rooms that the other boys were in. He kept their doors open so he could hear if anything happened. He stopped by Harry's room first and noticed there was no change. He then proceeded to Niall's room and saw the blonde tossing and turning on the bed. Liam sighed as it appeared Niall was having another fever dream, but it wasn't one that would wake him up. He sat down in the chair he put next to Niall's bed and started running his fingers through Niall's hair to try to calm him down. He could feel that Niall's fever was still high. It worried Liam that he couldn't get Niall's fever to break. He's been constantly putting cold rags on his forehead but nothing. Liam really wished for some sort of improvement with either of the boys.

Meanwhile, Harry had thought he heard somebody walking around. He slowly opened his eyes, but whoever it was was gone. He looked around and realized that he was in some place he had never seen before and the clothes that he was wearing weren't his. He tried to remember what happened. His brain was foggy at first, but it started to clear and he remembered fighting Louis and losing badly. He slowly sat up and looked down at his arms. There were only minor burns, but he knows Louis had burnt him badly. He didn't know why, but he had a sinking feeling in his stomach because he knows his injuries should be worse. He knows that he should probably be dead. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood up. He was surprised by how much his legs felt like jelly. It was like he hadn't been walking in a while. He slowly walked outside of the bedroom and noticed the door in the room next to the one he was in was open. He slowly walked to the door and was shocked at what he saw in the room. His best friend was lying in the bed with Liam sitting next to him. "What happened?" he asked and was surprised by how soft and raspy his voice came out. Now, he was questioning how long he was out.

Liam whipped his head up when he heard a voice and gasped when he saw Harry standing at the door frame. He jumped up and ran to the curly haired boy wrapping him in a tight hug. "I'm so glad you're okay," Liam said honestly.
