So I spent the day , as a mental guy....
It finally was night. I walked outta my tent and went towards Louis , who was tearing , as to my concern, for my mental behavior.

"Louis , hey!" I shouted.

"Z-zayn , um , you aren't asleep?" He wiped his tears with his right sleeve.
"Louis , can I speak to you?" I questioned. This was the perfect time to tell him to send me out of this war world.
"No , Zayn. I have to speak to you. Come , let's sit close to the hearth" he grabbed my arm and dragged me. What does he want to tell me?

We sat on a log. Both of our faces displaying an orange effect , yes , the fire hearth.

Louis stretched his arms over my shoulder and started , "zayn , listen. The war has brought you to a terrible mental condition. In this situation , you cannot participate in the revenge battle." He played with his fists , stretching his lips widely. A sad smile....

"So Zayn , I have discussed with my father to send you away from the camp , for your own goodness. I don't want you to hesitate....promise me that you'll go away." He pleaded , almost tearing , shooting his dilated eyes , directly ont mine.

Am I a friend? My best friend is caring so much of my health , but me ? I'm drama playing...I spoke to myself... " sorry buddy , sorry". Im so f****** mad , I am really.

"Louis , but I can't leave you." I cried out. The words weren't serious , but my tears were...

"But-" his palms blocked my words. He shook his head disapprovingly.

"I promise , buddy , I promise"

We hugged each other. Louis's unique lavender scent , i swear it would haunt me.

I drove my palms on his hairy cheek to his side fringe.
"I lov-e you Louis , I love you" I stammered.

"Me too" he replied.
"Okay , thats enough buddy, get your stuff packed. Tommorow at ten , in the morning , you will leave along with the ill ones. So go sleep." He said .
"Damn! your eye circles are freaking black"his fingers , played with my eyes.

"Who cares Louis , I really don't mind."

"I care , I'm your best friend , okay now that's enough. Go sleep , and oh! Pack your stuff."
*******""""""*******""""""*******""
I woke up in the morning. A single sun ray touching my right eye through a tiny hole at the top of my tent. I sat up , stretching my hands , a slight grin emerging. I'm leaving hell. But I can't bear to loose Louis and Harry. Why Niall and Liam? Such close friends.
I stood up and grabbed my towel to walk outside , with a long sleeved t shirt and a denim stacked under my arm.

I could see Harry washing himself. How cute he looked , when he got himself drenched in water. This is my last three hours with them. Admiration has no limits. I ran to the river side , to see all of them bathing together. I took off my shirt and jumped into the river.

"Hey Zayn , good morning. You're leaving us , aren't you?" Welcomed Liam.
"No , buddy , I was forced to leave. I'm sorry but I already promised Louis." I said , staring at the flowing water.

"That's the best choice , he has taken for you , Zayn. Be proud" Harry passified.

"I know ,but , I can't leave you'll , can I ?" I sadly spoke.

"Zayn, come on. Don't be so sad." Louis sighed , swimming to my direction. "I know it's hard , but you'll get used to it." He assured.
I stretched a sad smile. Not anymore , I'm not supposed to spend my last few hours sadly with them. It's happy hour.

I raced towards them and hit the water till it unexpectedly splashed over Liam. He wasnt surprised. He reacted. All of us together , played a great water game in the river. I saved their happy faces in my mind. Harry's unique dimple , could catch any girl. Nial's eyes , sea blue. Louis's hair and Liam's nose...it's all quite unique.

We almost spent an hour in that river....now it's almost eight.

I wore my clothes , behind a huge sheet , and so did the others.
I thought for a while. I'm no human. How can I lie to my friends?  Friends ? No , brothers....they were so close....I tried hard to keep them happy till the last moment
*********************†*******†***
"Zayn , Zayn , this is it , come out" I could hear Louis's kind voice.

"I'll be there" I replied. I looked at my watch. It read 9:53. I tightened my eyes. Unknowingly , letting tears stream down my cheeks. I grabbed the hand carriers and wore a jacket over my t-shirt.
I walked outta the tent and reached  the Jeep. There was a crowd surrounding it. I could see  Louis waving his hand. I rushed to his spot.

"This is it buddy, our last words-" I cupped his mouth with my palms.

"Why you disappointing me. Are you happy?" I questioned , observing his face , a face that had spent his time , crying.
He gently moved my hand away and started,
"I'm the saddest man on earth but I won't show it out. I love you man , I love you."

I hugged him so hard , that I could feel his spine. I whispered ,
"I know Louis ."

We were tearing, or crying ,  would sound better. I slapped his back and drove to the others , embracing them

Before i could get into the vehicle louis grabbed me on the back

As I turned towards him , he dug his hands into his  pocket , to take out some money.
"Buddy , here you go , exactly , ten lacks." He offered , pulling my palms.

" Louis ,no. I'm not accepting it. I know that it's the money that you've collected for your mom. No thanks let me go." I denied slapping away his offerings.

"If you dont take this , you do know what i would do right. Pls . take it. You'll need it Zayn , trust me , theres no life without money"  He pleaded.

Arguing with louis is useless. I had to accept it.

I got into the jeep . I saw them waving back...a terrible sight. I'm leaving them . the jeep pulled away.......
