     Harry dropped off his duffle bag with a huge sigh. Taking the first steps into his flat was always the best thing when coming home from tour besides from seeing his overly giddy best friend. 

     Katherine was always smiling and laughing around Harry. He had this weird sense of humor that only Katherine seemed to get.

     Harry decided to unpack and shower before he went to go see her. Surprising Katherine was Harry's favorite thing to do especially when she has absolutely no clue it's going to happen. Harry's known for ruining the surprise or giving it away when he texts Katherine. He just gets to excited it slipped so today he decided not to text her at all. She'll probably be a little mad that he ignored her, but he knew her excitement would make her forget about her anger. 

     Harry quickly unpacked his things and took a shower. He didn't want to arrive too late. Humming his favorite Beatles tune he got dressed and headed out the door. Harry lived almost half an hour away from Katherine, but her priceless face was worth the drive. 

     Once he finally arrived he tried to quietly shut his car door so Katherine wouldn't hear it. Making his way to the front door, he used the key given to him to unlock her front door. 

     She lived in a huge house. It was given to her by her parents when they passed away. She hated staying alone so Harry spent most nights over there when he was home.

     The house reeked and Harry noticed the smell instantly. It wasn't a rotten smell or a dirty smell. It was a very strong smell of alcohol. Harry shook his head in shame at his wild best friend. She was definitely the craziest person he has ever met. Most people label her as an out of control party animal, but Harry sees her true nature. She was a free spirit who didn't want to live by rules of society. 

     Harry scammed the first room to find just what he expected scattered across the glass coffee table. Empty bottle from beer to vodka laid along the living room. He wouldn't have been surprise to find more in other rooms such as the kitchen and dining room. When Katherine got drunk, she got beyond wasted. Sometimes she wouldn't wake up for days and of course Harry was always there to take care of her.

     Harry continued through the lower floor of the house only to find no Katherine, but there on the desk in her study sat a letter addressed to Harry. Being the nosy person Harry was he opened and a smile flew to his face only after reading the first few sentences.

     Hello, turd brain. I wasn't sure if I should write dear Harry like most normal letters, but then I realized two things. One: Who the fuck does that anymore!? Two: This is not a normal letter.
     I writing this to tell you I love you. I love everything about about you from your dimpled smile to your bright green eyes that are always judging me. You never admit to it but I know, pretty boy. I know you are secretly judging me.

     Harry let a loud laugh presenting his presence in the house. He wasn't quite sure what the point of this letter was, but all he knew was that it made him laugh.

     Maybe you're just jealous. I've always been your mother's favorite and you know it. Oh, and just to let you know. You look ugly in jealousy.

     Harry rolled his eyes at his obnoxious friend. "Kat! Just to let you know, I always look hot!" He decided to continue reading the letter before Katherine came running down the stairs to take it from him.

     I love seeing you smile, Har. You have such a beautiful smile, and I love hearing your laughter. You make me happy in so many ways and I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry for what I'm about to do to you.

     Confusion set into Harry's eyes. He didn't understand what Katherine had meant. He didn't care though whatever she will do, Harry knew he would get over it. He always found a way passed the problems Katherine had created for him because that's what you do when you love someone, and Harry loved Katherine more than anything in the world. She was the first and last thing he thought of every day. The love he held for that girl was endless.

     The thought of the pain I will cause you hurts so much. I almost can't bare it, but you know what hurts even worst..   the disgust and hatred I have with myself. I can't stand who I am..   Imagine looking in the mirror ever day and seeing the one person you hate the most in this miserable world. Not even the happiness and joy you bought to me could kill the monster inside of me. Nothing you could've done could've helped me. I just wanted to let you know that it's not your fault. I love you so much and I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Goodbye, Harry.

     That was the moment Harry realized it was completely silent in the house. Katherine didn't coming running down the stairs screaming bloody murder and cursing Harry in every way possible. She didn't rip the paper put of his hands and fuse him for snooping on her private letters.

      He could hear his aching heart stop at every realization that Katherine was no wheres to be found. Harry couldn't even move. He felt paralyzed. His eyes scanning over the last two words. Goodbye, Harry. 

     It was joke, he thought. Katherine was always pulling sick twisted jokes on him. There's no way she would just leave him.

     "Katherine!" Harry tried the letter and took off searching the house. "This better be a fucking joke."

     He looked in every room on the main floor only to find no sign of her that's when he ran up the stairs opening every door that came into his path.

     "Come on, Kat! This isn't funny!"  He walked out of the guest room. A room Harry slept many occasions. The last room down the hall was Katherine's. Harry could feel his heart pounding in his chest with every step he took closer to her room. Fear of what laid behind the doors.

     "Okay, Kat, jokes on me. You can come out now." He expected a very pleased with herself Katherine to walk out laughing at Harry's face. He wished she would've walked out, but she didn't.
     Harry opened the door and looked into the empty bedroom. Everything was nice in neat. There wasn't even a sign someone had been in there. He was almost relieved when he remembered the bathroom.

     Harry walked in and his whole world stopped. "No, no, no, no, no!" Harry ran up to Katherine's pale lifeless body floating in the bloody bath tube. He pulled her out into his arms. He was too late. She was already gone. Harry screamed and cried in agony. "No! Please wake up! Please!"

     Tears rushed down his face as his held her in his arms, rocking back and forth. Nothing could ever stop the pain coursing through Harry. His whole life slowly slipped through his grip.

     Harry didn't even know she was depressed. What kind of shitty person doesn't even know their best friend is depressed.

     "I love you too."


~Okay, so I hate myself right now. It's me, Kristen. Like. What. The. Fuck. Did. I. Just. Write. This was super sad and I tried not to go into details because if you guys read my other one shots, I love going into details and feelings about each character unless I get lazy but that's a different story. I thought of this story while listening to the song Wait by M83 which the link to it should be up on the side of the story. Idk I suck at posting links they never seem to want to work. Anyways to get on with the point you should listen to it. It's an amazing song. I first heard this song when I was watching this multifandom trailer and I loved it then I heard it once again when I watched TFIOS. It was my favorite song for weeks. Give it a listen please. Love you guys.
