"Niall," Called Harry gently. Niall heard but did not look up. "We are going out to get lunch, do you want us to get you anything?" Niall shook his head slowly, his face contorted with sadness. Harry exhaled deeply and left the room. Niall waited until he heard the front door slam before reaching into his jacket pocket, and pulling out his phone. Niall opened a text message from Harry with the message, "It hurts for us all." Attached to the message was a selfie of him and Liam at Build a Bear.
He threw his phone across the room in anger, as tears streamed down his face. He thought of Liam, his feelings were a confused mix of joy and depression as he remembered the good times. It was like wanting to smile but at the same time Niall wanted to rip open his chest, so that the cavity of where his heart once lay could be unearthed.
In the corner of the room Niall noticed a pile of clothes. At first he was confused but then he realised it was Liam's. In the morning before 'it' happened, Liam was going to
do some laundry, before deciding to hell with it. Niall stood up and took hesitant steps towards the pile.
The item of clothing on the very top of the pile of clothing was Liam's hoodie. It had been his favourite hoodie, Niall remembered. He gingerly picked it up, before hugging it and allowing the remaining scent of Liam to fill his nostrils.
Niall let out a sob, before falling to the floor in anguish. Why must the worst happen to the ones we hold dear? He drew up his knees, hugging them tightly to his chest. Niall felt annoyed at himself. Why had he not spent more time with Liam?
A/N: I hope this chapter is okay, it took me awhile to figure out how to word some of the stuff but I wanted it to be a really (cheesy alert) meaningful one. I have lost people who I love, and I watch as two people I love who have progressive illnesses go from bad to worse. There is no cure for them and it really hurts. I want to try to get other people to relate or understand what it's like.
