I reach down and run my finger over the blood on my body only to realize that it's not mine. I was not shot. When I look to my right, I see Ben on the floor, bleeding helplessly.

This is Ben's blood. I feel disgusting.

I will myself to stand and quickly make my way to Harry. Liam, Niall, and Michael are already around him.

I get down on both knees beside him and quickly look over his body to make sure that he wasn't shot. Hot tears spill from my eyes, but I couldn't be bothered to wipe them away. I just let them fall.

I can see that he's still breathing, but it's jagged and quick.

"He's not been shot." We all turn our heads at the voice in the corner of the room. It's Zayn. He holds a handgun in one hand.

"Did you shoot Ben?" I ask, getting angry because that was Harrys job and he better not have stolen it!

"No. Harry did, but I think... Chris, I don't think he's going to last. You need to say your goodbyes." Zayn says and my heart is too broken to hate anybody right now. I turn around to see that the boys are just finishing up their goodbyes to him and he's got his eyes lazily open. He's barely conscious. I've got this feeling of helplessness. There's nothing I can do to save him now because he's too far gone.

I grab his hand and it stays flaccid in mine. I turn to everyone.

"Can we be alone?" I ask and they all look a little worried, but they allow me the opportunity to say goodbye in peace.

They walk out together and I'm left with a dead Ben, and a soon to be Harry.

I look down at his face and all I see is the most tragically beautiful soul. He's done so much bad in his life and so many people have let him down, but I can't see all of that right now. All I see is beauty.

"Harry... It's Chris." I choke out and begin to cry a little harder knowing these may be my last words to him.

"Before you, I was convinced that no one would ever love me. No matter who they were, I thought that I was going to be alone forever." I say and I feel his hand twitch slightly in mine.

"But I love you! I care about you Harry Styles. I don't care about the horrible things you did, or the horrible things that happened to you! You are perfect to me and, I can't let you go."

"I thought I had seen beauty in this world through murder mysteries and binge show watching. But the only time I truly saw beauty in this world is when I looked into your eyes. And the only time I knew what love was, was when you were near and I got the chills."

He lets out a few coughs and his eyes shut completely.

"Harry! No, please. I'm not ready." I say and grab ahold of his shoulders.

"Harry, answer me. Tell me all of this was a lie! Make it better, please. Don't leave me like everyone leaves me." I sob into his chest and I feel his heartbeat slowly decrease in speed.

It's time.

"I love you." Is the last thing I can get out before his chest stops trying to hold onto him. It falls to a complete stop. His eyes shut tightly and I witness his very last breath.

And just like that, he's gone.

I never got to tell him that he was the reason I continued to try harder every day. The reason for the only adventure in my life. He was like a rainbow at the end of a really horrible rain storm.

Much like a feather, he was lightweight, and nobody saw how he really was affected by the things that they said to him. But inside, he was fighting a battle against those words that litter his chest.

Harry was too pure for this world.

But I never got to say that to him. And as I'm sitting here beside his now lifeless body and disappearing legacy, I realize I should have told him this sooner.

The tears spill from my eyes uncontrollably as I run my fingers gently along my name that he'd carved into his skin. I'm sure wherever he is, he is as clear as a summer sky.

I press a chaste kiss to his cheek and place my head against his chest.

"I'll never forget you, Harry."

*The End*

"Alright! Perfection. Actually I could do some editing here and there." I say to myself as I look of the stacks of papers in front of me. They are not yet ready to send off to be published.

I reach down to grab my pen, but my phone ringing snatches my attention. I look on the desk and see a picture of my mum across the screen. I pick up the phone and place it to my ear, leaning back in my chair.

"Hello, mum! How are you?" I say.

"I'm great love, what are you up to?" She asks me with a tone I'm all too familiar with.

"I've finished my book! Well, I still have to edit and such. But the rough draft is done." I say and I hear my mom start cheering and telling what I'm assuming is my father.

"Oh love! I'm so proud of you. This is your dream! Have you thought of a name yet?" She asks and I look down over the scribblings and words that I've poured my heart into.

"Psycho." I say and smile.

"Well that sounds lovely, how does it go?" She asks, but some police sirens coming awfully close to my apartment complex cut off the rest of my moms sentence.

"Yeah, there's some police here I guess." I say as they blare outside. I stand from my spot on my desk and slowly takes steps towards the door.

"Mum, I can't hear you, I'm going to have to call you back." I say and I don't bother hearing her response.

"Everybody remain calm. Lock all your doors and windows immediately, there is an unidentified murderer around the perimeter. Remain calm!" I hear from a megaphone outside my apartment.

"No bloody way! This isn't happening." I say in disbelief and my eyes widen. I run to my window and quickly lock it. I than run to my door and go to lock it, but it swings open and hits me in the face, sending me back against the wall.

I fall to the floor and my heart drops to my stomach. It's like my book is coming to life. This isn't real. I must be dreaming this or something!

But when I look up and meet a pair of green eyes, I truly believe I have lost it.

"Harry?" I say out loud and the man's mouth hangs open in shock. Mine does the same.

"How the hell do you know me?" He spits and reaches for his knife.

"You have no bloody idea."
