*Previously*
Zayn's POV~
After picking open the lock, I burst through the door to see my Mother holding a pistol to Louis' face.

"No!" I shout, running after them. Louis turns his head slightly, looking right at me, so does my mum. I can hear Niall and Liam running not far behind me.

"One more step and I shoot him right here." Tricia threatens.

I freeze. The air felt cold, I could feel the goosebumps appearing on my arms. Would she do it? Would she really pull the trigger. Was it worth risking Louis' life to find out?

"You don't have to do this." I said.

"Oh but I do. You see, I'm not finished yet." She replies.

"Finished with what?" I asks.

"Revenge." She says coldly.

"Revenge for what?" I hear Harry speak. His voice sounds different. Much deeper, and a little raspy. I let myself look over at him for the first time in four months.

"Destroying my family." She says coldly.

I look back at her as Louis throws the gun across the room.

He shoves her & she stumbles, falling against a wall. Harry runs over to me and I open my arms just in time for him to jump into them.

He's much lighter now. He's lost weight, how much weight I didn't know. His skin has lost some of its coloring. I held him tighter in my arms, I missed him so much.

"Louis look out!" Donny shouts, I turn to look at him, as I set Harry down. Donny shoves Louis to the ground and before I could get mad at him for doing that, Richard stabbed him.

Louis screams as cops bust down the door. Not that they had to-since it was unlocked. Suddenly a shot was fired, and Richard's body crumpled to the floor. Donny began to wobble for a second in the air but Louis was quick to get up and catch him as he slowly slid them both down to the floor.

Louis' face was quickly flooded with tears. I don't think I've ever seen him cry before..not like this.

Harry slowly pulled away from me and makes his way over to Louis & places a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it lightly. It was a small gesture..but still, I didn't know what to say..I couldn't even move. I was shocked. I didn't think Richard could actually kill someone.

I watched as Harry stood over Louis. His face emotionless. This wasn't the Harry I knew four months ago, this wasn't the naive, innocent boy I once fell in love with.

I looked away to see the cops handcuff Tricia, and pull her out of the room. She was crying and screaming for her husband..who was now lying dead on the ground.

Richard is dead. Donny is dying. My mother is going to jail. Harry is covered in dried blood and bruises. Louis was crying so hard he looked hysterical. Nick looked like he was about to throw up-or pass out, he was holding his left arm in pain.

We had finally found them...but it wasn't what I thought it would feel like. It wasn't a happily ever after like I thought it would be. We weren't happy, we were devastated. It was like watching our world crash into the sun, and I wasn't able to stop it.

The rest was kind of a blur. The medic's showed up, they rushed to Donny first. Harry had to pull Louis away from him, which only made the screaming worse.

"No!" Louis screams. "You can't take him! Please! Donny!"

"Wait." Donny chokes out, reaching out for Louis, who fought against Harry, reaching out to grab his hand. Donny pulled him close, whispering something to him, and they kiss. It isn't a rough kiss, it's soft, delicate, but full of something..some form of emotion, and it wasn't lust.
