Into The Darkness. (Completed)

Ch.16-Reactions.

~*Louis POV*~

"I have.. Leukemia.."

****************************

"You what?" I quivered.

"Leukemia, Lou." Harry uttered. I looked at everyone, Darcy just sat there on Liam's lap while he soaked it all in. An eery silence settled upon us as we took it in. Harry..? With Leukemia? It doesn't make sense in my mind, why would someone like Harry, someone as great and special as him have this? It doesn't add up to me, but this is the real world and stuff like this happens, to the best of us.

"Please guys, say something." Harry practically whimpered. It broke my heart, he was my best mate. Harry has been there with me through everything.

"I-I, Harry, you're gonna be alright.. Right?" I questioned.

"I'm not sure, mate." Harry said uncertainly. I looked over to Lilah, her eyes were glued to the ground. I couldn't even begin to think what was going on in her brain. Everyone was so quiet, a pin could drop and you'd hear it. Harry closed his eyes, clutched his stomach and grunted.

"What's wrong, mate?" I asked worried.

"I'm just hungry." He said truthfully. Darcy giggled, I looked over at the little girl. She seemed to lighten the mood, because everyone got up and hugged Harry.

**At Dinner.**

"What would you all like?" The waiter asked. I really didn't want to eat, knowing my best friend could die. So I only asked for a water to help calm my stomach. I had a terrible headache and honestly, I just wanted to get drunk and pass out. Everyone else seemed solemn and sad, especially Lilah. Her eyes stayed glassy throughout the meal, no one really spoke besides Darcy. I couldn't take it anymore, I stood up and ran to the bathroom. I made sure no one was in there and slid down the wall, my head in my hands. Tears wouldn't come out, I was happy for that. I wouldn't have a red streaked face.

"Lou?" I heard Zayn say from outside the door. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I wanted to be left alone, at least for a little while.

"Uncle Boo?" Darcy's little voice said. That's when the tears came, I ran my hands through my hair repetitively, trying to calm myself down. I wiped the tears away and opened the door. Darcy was standing there with Zayn, I picked her up and held the little one close. She reminded me so much of Harry, if he dies.. How am I supposed to face Darcy?

"Uncle Boo, stop crying.." Darcy whimpered, trying to wipe the tears away with her little hands. I tried my best to quit, and finally I stopped. Darcy smiled and kissed my cheek, she's a cute one.

"I love you Uncle Boo!" She cheered.

"I love you Dede." I whispered.

"C'mon, Lou. It's gonna be alright, are you ready to go back?" Zayn asked. I nodded and placed Darcy to her feet. We walked back and sat down, everyone probably knew about my little breakdown, but they didn't say anything; because they were all on the verge of tears. Especially Lilah. She had a pained expression, whenever anyone would say Harry her eyes would well up. But she coughed to cover it.

"Well guys, I think we're gonna head out." Harry said. The painful dinner was done finally. I got up and waved goodbye, as well as everybody else.

~*Harry's POV*~

I want out to the car with Lilah and Darcy, sliding in I started the engine.

"Harry? Should you be driving?" Lilah pondered.

"I can drive, I'm fine!" I snapped. I was so stressed out. I looked over at her, she had placed her head in her hands, sobs racking her body.

"Lilah I-. I didn't mean to.. I'm just stressed." I uttered guiltily.

"But that's the thing! Harry, you're not fine! You're NOT!" She yelped.

"I'M SORRY THAT I'M NOT FINE! I'M SORRY THAT I MIGHT LEAVE YOU GUYS! I'm sorry!" I shouted. I ran my hand through my hair about ten times. Lilah had stopped crying, she had her head laid on the window with an expressionless look.

"You're leaving us, Daddy?" I heard Darcy's little voice from the backseat.

"No baby, Daddy's gonna stay right here with us." Lilah said softly.

"I'm sorry, baby." I whispered to Lilah.

"It's okay, I love you Harry. Don't ever forget that.. Ever." Lilah begged.

"Never." I promised.

**At home**

"Alright, Darcy's in bed." I said. Lilah nodded and shrunk into the duvet. I crawled in next to her and pulled her into my chest. She turned around so she was facing me, her big blue eyes looked into mine with tears in them.

"Don't cry." I begged.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you more."
