His old music teacher smiled at him as Niall realized he actually wasn't his teacher anymore, which meant there was no need for him to call him "Mister Tomlinson". Then again, he didn't know the guys real name.
"Long time no see Niall." He said walking towards him. "How have you been?" How had he been? He was worldfamous, trying to forget about the past that drove him insane. "I'm okay.. What about you?" He asked feeling slightly comfortable.
"I'm a bit busy, but I'm good. You can call me Louis now, by the way. You're no longer my student after all." He said, as Niall nodded slowly. "Uhm.. I know it's none of my bussiness.. But why are you here?" He looked at the shoes and swallowed.
"Liam couldn't come. He decided he'd come here every year to bring a pair of shoes, but he couldn't come right now.. So he asked me to go for him." Louis explained, knowing Niall cared. Niall was one of the students he had more personal contact with during classes. You had those students who just walked out and the ones who stayed behind for a talk once in a while.
Niall had always been a sensitive one. The one that needed help making decisions, the one that couldn't give up on anything and Liam was no different.
"Oh.. Okay.." Niall said softly, playing with his fingers as Louis decided to tell him. "Liam is in the hospital." The boy looked up straight away looking at Louis in disbelief. "Why?" "Did he ever tell you about his kidneys..?" Niall shook his head no as he frowned only getting more confused.
"Liam has kidney problems since birth.. It first was only one, but now the other one is getting in a bad condition as well.." Louis said in horror, looking sad because he knew he'd soon lose his friend. "They give him ti'll the end of this week.." Niall started to tear up.
"Which hospital..?" He asked with such a cracked voice. This wasn't happening. Liam wasn't dying.. He couldn't be dying. Louis smiled weakly at his reaction as he pointed at the white people not far away from the forest. Niall nodded, fastly put the flowers down and started running like there was no tomorrow, because soon for Liam there wouldn't be.
While running all kind of thoughts haunted his mind. He was thinking of solutions. Wasn't he able to get Liam a donor? He had enough money to make that happen.. What if Liam didn't want to see him? What if he really didn't care? Did it matter? He couldn't just die like that.
Niall was compleetly out of breathe when he reached the hospital as he asked for Liam's room number as he hurried there with his last energy, thinking the elevator would go to slow as he sprinted upstairs. He moved through the hallway on a fast pace. 740.. 741.. 742. He opened the door slowly stepping inside room looking at Liam's sleeping pale figure as he realized he was crying.
He walked to the bed unsure what to do as he decided he had nothing to lose and sat down on the side of the bed, brushing Liam's sweaty hair out of his face, biting his lip as he did so. He wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. What could he say?
He looked around. There was a table next to Liam's bed with a glass of water and a view books on it. He had less then six days to live and he was reading books..? Liam always had been a calm person, but how could he be calm like this. He swallowed when he saw the blocks next to the books saying "006". He was counting his days of living down to the date of death?
The thought made him cry out as he snuggled his face away in Liam's neck as he felt the older man whine softly. "Niall..?" His familiar low voice whispered as Niall just nodded while sobbing into his neck like there wouldn't come an end to it.
He felt the guys arms around him, less strong then normally, yet they were still there and it was all that mattered. "Sshhhh..." Liam hushed weakly, holding Niall close to him.
"You can't die..." Niall sobbed softly. "You can't die.." Oh, how Liam wished to tell the boy that he wouldn't. That he'd live a long and healthy life. That he wanted to be with him again and how sorry he felt, but he couldn't say all of that, because he couldn't make it true.
Liam sighed softly and held Niall untill he finally calmed down, unable to believe he was holding the person most important in his life. The life he didn't care about untill he woke up just now.
If Niall stayed he wanted to live, but life had something else planned, something he used to be okay with and now desperately wanted the exact opposite.
"They won't get me a donor in six days love." Liam said using Niall's nickname. "They will.." Niall sobbed. "I'll pay them." Liam sighed softly. "It's not all about money Niall, other people are waiting too." "Well, screw them."
That wasn't quite nice to say, but could he blame him? He would have said exactly the same when he had been in Niall's situation.
"Please let me try.. I'm not happy without you Liam, I love you so much and I've tried to distract myself when you left, but if you die now I won't be able to anymore and I don't want to go on either.." He cried. Liam swallowed. He had missed Niall like crazy, but he thought Niall would have forgotten him by now, but he had been wrong all along.
"I tried to contact you." Liam said. Niall looked up facing him as he sniffed softly. "What do you mean?" "When you got on the x-factor I tried to contact you, but your phonenumber was out of use, so then I went to your house, but you weren't there either and I even tried to come to one of your shows, but it was selt out and I wasn't allowed to fly during my condition."
If something happend and there weren't nurses around that could be the end of him, which was why they didn't allow him.
Niall bit his lip and sighed softly. "If I had known.." He said softly. Liam looked him in the eyes as Niall looked back at Liam. Without using words they knew exactly what they wanted and leaned in closing their eyes kissing eachother softly. After a while Niall pulled away, opening his eyes as blue met brown.
"I won't let you die."
Guyyssss, I need to share that I got my tattoo today! Now that that's done ;p I'll probably edit all chapters (get all the silly mistakes out of them) when I finished the whole book (;
