The Phoenix- Fall Out Boy

-

Harrys POV

I can hear my heartbeat in my ears.

This is it. The moment I've been waiting for.

My body is weak. I've never not been able to control the way I feel. Touch, it does something to you. It make you see life through different eyes.

The temperature never affected me before, but now I find myself wearing thinner clothing due to the unforgiving heat.

I know I've only got a couple more days in me. Maybe less.

It's time to say goodbye to hello, and hello to goodbye.

I want my enemies to whisper my name when I die. Only then will they know the sound of a dodged bullet.

My bones feel brittle, like at any given moment they may crumble.

I hope that death treats me well. If I fall to the floor and branches grow from me, planting a tree, make it soft. If every leaf is made from glass sharp enough to cut, make it beautiful. If for some reason, somebody else may need me in this lifetime. Cut me down. But do it with grace.

If this is not how it shall be, then I will die in vain.

But I refuse to let any of these issues hold me back from doing what I've come so long to do. Ben deserves everything that's coming for him.

"Come on, Louis. It's time."

"Come on, Chris It's time! Do it for Harry!" Liam whispers to me when we hear footsteps approaching the basement.

The sound of a heavy door being unlocked and swung open makes my stomach churn with nervous.

Never have I ever been so extremely terrified to be "sexy". Please! If there really is a God or something, help me the fûck out dude! Please!

The footsteps approach us and Ben appears with an oddly large smile on his face.

"Do you guys need anything?" He asks and Niall, Liam, and I just stare at him blankly.

"Well, good. Because you weren't getting anything anyways. Bye!" He says and turns around. I feel mad butterflies in my stomach. Okay, here it goes.

"W-wait! Ben!" I shout and force myself to stand up. He stops in his tracks and turns around, eying me up and down.

"What do you want?" He replies in an extremely annoyed tone.

"You." I say and I feel really stupid. This is stupid! This isn't going to turn him on.

But I don't want to seduce him in front of Liam and Niall. For some reason, I can't lose my respect from them. It's too important to me. But then again, this is for Harry.

"Excuse you? Did I hear you correctly?" He asks and walks closer to the metal bars separating us. I walk to him as well and meet him at the bars. I reach through them and brush his shoulder with my hand, gently squeezing his non-existent arm muscles and biting my lip.
