Purple Highlighter! (; A Lirry Fanfic :D

22- Tears and Thoughts.

My heart was pounding as I held Zayden's hand tightly. Louis and Niall were pretty much dragging me inside. I still didn't understand why we were here. Harry couldn't be here, could he?

" Why are we here? " I asked as Niall hugged my waist tightly and led me through.

" Harry. " he mumbled. " I'm gonna take him to see Harry. Lou, you tell Zayden. " I let go of Zayden's hand as Niall led the way. I was shaking.

" N-Niall? " I mumbled as he stopped in front of a door.

" Yeah? " He whispered.

" I still love Harry. " I told him truthfully. He only nodded before opening the door. There he was.

Laying lifeless on the hospital bed with that annoying but relieving beeping filling the sound. He seemed to be asleep but his face was pale. More pale than usual.

" H-Harry? " I stuttered as I stumbled over to the bed. I stood there just taking in the sight from up close.

His curls were everywhere. He was really thin. He doesn't look like he's been sleeping for that long though.

I shook him slightly but he didn't wake up. I shook him again but Niall grabbed my wrists and spun me around. He grabbed my hips and looked me in the eyes.

" He's in a coma, Liam. " He whispered. Tears filled my eyes. " We don't know why but, he's been in one for about a month now. "

That's when I collapsed into his arms. I cried and Niall held me close to him. I felt him start walking somewhere but he stilled had me close.

I heard talking as Niall rubbed my back soothingly like he would before I moved. I wish that things were like they used to be.

" Liam? " Zayden's voice called and I felt Niall handing me off to him. I hugged him tightly. " Babe, Shh. He'll be fine okay? Louis told me everything. " I just cried silently into the neck of Zayden.

Please wake up soon Harry.

Zayden's POV.

I watched as Niall pulled Liam away, down the hall. His hands were around Liam's hips.

" Zayden. " I heard Louis say in a warning tone. I turned around to the boy in bright red skinny jeans, striped shirt, TOMS and suspenders.

" Yes? " I asked secretly checking him out. He was good looking but I wouldn't cheat on Liam again. I still feel guilty for that. But I do think that-

" I just wanted to say, if you hurt Liam at all, I will hunt you down and personally beat the shit out of you. Both Niall and I will. Liam is my step-brother and Niall has been Liam's best friend for forever so don't doubt that it won't happen. " Oh. Feisty.

" I won't hurt him. If I do, it'll only be because I'm breaking up with hi- "

" And then you'll get beat. " He cut me off. I face palmed.

" Let me finish? " He nodded. " If I did break up with him, it would be hurting me more because I fell for the boy. But I know he's not happy with me. He is but not as happy as he can be. So if I did, it's so he can get with that Harry dude. " I knew he liked Harry. It was the way he looked at him.

When he told me he kissed Harry, he had this like glow to him. Like he did something he's been trying to do for a while. He was just so happy that night. It was cute.

" How do you know he likes Harry? " Louis asked me confused.

" When you guys came to America, he kissed Harry and afterwards he skyped me and he had this huge smile and glow. And the way the boy looks at Harry. What happened to him anyways? "

" He slipped into a coma one night about a month ago. We don't know why though. And wai- " I heard crying coming towards us and immediately knew who it was. I saw Niall holding Liam close to him and I saw his body shaking.

" Liam? " Niall smiled slightly at me before handing Liam over to me. I held him tightly. " Babe, Shh. He'll be okay. " I whispered. He just cried into my neck. I sighed mentally.

I just wish I could really have Liam as mine. They say if you love someone let them go?

Well I'm afraid to. I know he won't come back to me.

I just want him to love me but, I'll do anything to make this boy happy. Even if it means I have to.

Let him go.
