Chapter 18

Liam's POV

I sat and held Louis as he continued to cry in his sleep. This whole situation sucks. I wish Harry told us before he went to surgery. I just wanted to say goodbye. Now, that will never happen. He's gone.

I started to tremble and hung my head. I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks. Harry is gone. We aren't One Direction anymore. We have to put a funeral together. Does Anne even know? This is so much to handle. God I hate everything!

I looked up at Louis to see him staring back at me. He reached up and wiped one of my tears away. He burrowed his face into my chest and gave me a hug.

"Liam, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! I'm so sorry Liam. You lost your best mate because of me. I lost Harry because of me," he wailed into my chest. I stroked his hair and held him close.

"Louis don't you dare say this is your fault. He loved you more than anything Lou. I should have saw this coming. Nothing is your fault. You're healthy and alive!" As I said that his face started to go pale and he hurled himself off of me. He found the nearest garbage and emptied his stomach into it. I got up and rubbed his back comfortingly. "Your body has to get used to Harry's heart. Everything will be okay Lou."

He finally stopped throwing up and made his way back to the bed. I held him close once more and he passed out in my arms. I looked up and saw Zayn and Niall smiling and hugging. What happened? How are they happy?

I sat and watched them move around outside. They had the biggest grins on their faces. They weren't alone. They were talking to someone. What is going on? I slowly picked Louis up off my body and set him down on the bed. He didn't stir at all. I walked to the door and left quietly.

"Guys what's going on? Why are you so happy?" I asked them.

"HARRY IS ALIVE LIAM!" Niall yelled as he hugged me.

"Wh- What? How?! We have to tell Louis!"

"NO!" Zayn interjected. "It's going to be a surprise for him. Everyone has to act like they don't know Harry is alive. He is in recovery right now. Do you wanna go see him?" I nodded my head.

Niall pulled a piece of paper from his back pocket. "He's right down the hall! Room 211!" We all bolted to his room. I managed to get ahead of the other two, so I got there first.

When the others caught up, we went in together. Harry was sitting up in his bed looking extremely confused. He was observing his hands, then his curls, and then the scar on his chest. He looked up and saw the three of us standing there. His mouth dropped.

"Liam? Niall? Zayn? How-" My eyes started to tear up and I ran towards him crying.

"God damn it Harry! Never ever do that again!" His arms wrapped around me, and I felt Niall and Zayn join us.

"Harry we missed you so much!" Zayn added.

"I'm so sorry guys. I truly am. I just wanted to save Louis. I'm sorry. I love you guys so much." I didn't let go of him. Niall and Zayn told him what happened with the new heart and that they aren't telling Louis yet. Harry will do that himself.

"You are doing so much better than Louis. He threw up twice today. Maybe you will get out of here sooner than he will," I told him.

"How- How is Louis?" Harry asked.

"He's a train wreck to say the least. He doesn't stop crying and then he throws up. He keeps blaming himself." Harry looked so broken as I told him this.
