This is not the end~ Fourth book in PLMI series

Unstable-7

-Mackenzie's POV-
"Niall." I moaned, waking up from my dreadful sleep.
"Lads!! I think she's awake!!" I heard someone British say. I couldn't make out who was who. I groaned and tried to rolled over, but winced. There was a sharp pain in my foot and in my chest. And, it seemed something was holding me down. Can you catch cancer from someone? I wondered.
"Kenz? Can you hear us?" I heard someone, a girl ask. I slowly opened my eyes and the world spun around me. My eyes were unfocused, my vision, fuzzy.
"Niall. Where's Niall...?" I asked quickly and they all looked at each other. Zayn, Harry, Louis, Bradley, Kendall, Liam, Britt, and Alexa stood in the room. Their faces were blurry and I felt as if I was going to pass out.
"Mackenzie. Niall.....well...he..." Liam trailed and my eyes widened.
"What....what happened to him?" I asked, my voice rising.
"He....." Liam trailed and I looked around the room.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. TELL ME. RIGHT NOW!!" I screamed, thrashing on the bed. Strangely, I was tied down to the bed. Britt began to cry. I must've looked pretty awful. Like a monster. But.....not all monsters do monstrous things.
"Kenz.." Louis trailed and I screamed and thrashed on the bed. A nurse rushed into the room and her eyes widened.
"Sedate her." She ordered the other nurse who showed up.
"NIALL. NO. NIALL. LET ME SEE HIM. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The nurse came at me with a needle and I thrashed, trying to get away. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to. No.
She caught my arm in a tight grip and inserted the needle in my arm. Everything got dizzy.
"Niall. Niall. Niall. Niall." I sobbed into the bed as I begun to get sleepy.
"Niall.....no." I whispered as I slipped away.............

-Liam's POV-
I watched as Mackenzie gave up and sobbed Niall's name into the bed. Slowly, she fell asleep. Britt cried into my shoulder and I held her hand as she cried. Mackenzie is not in good shape.
I know what you're wondering by now. Niall must be dead. He's not. He's just.........barely alive.
It has been a day. Mackenzie was knocked out for that long. The doctors kept her asleep and tied her down to the bed because of her hysterical freak out when the ambulance came. Something about the paramedics being injured or...something. All I know is that she must've gotten pretty crazy.
Niall was unstable when they brought him in. He couldn't breathe and his heart stopped quite a few times. They got it started again, but had to operate.
You see, another tumor had grown in Niall's left lung, as well as his right one. They had to get him into surgery right away. Thankfully, they successfully removed all of the cancer from his lungs. But........the down side is....he still isn't awake.
He's...still unstable. No one knows why. His breathing is never constant and his body is weaker than ever, so it's resisting all the medicine they try to pump into him.
I saw him a bit ago with the lads. He looked, dead almost. His face was white as the whitest snow. His eyelids were heavy and seemed as if they'd never open again. That's what I was afraid of.
As for Mackenzie....well. They said her foot is okay, but she has a lot of emotional trauma. Which...is understandable. Her arms......she must've cut before she went......were infected. They tied her down as a precaution, because of her freak out, they thought she'd still be emotionally unstable. They were right.
As for Jake, Evelyn, Allison, and Trey....well. They caught Trey straight away on the street. They waited for Evelyn to come back tot he abandoned factory and cornered her there, with a fight. Jake....is dead. He was still alive when the police got there, but died as soon as they took him to the hospital. He was shot right underneath his heart, making it a slow and painful death. Which, makes me kind of sad. Even if he did do so many things...to me...to the girl I am going to marry.....no one deserves that. Not even him.
Allison wasn't found, but she didn't do anything that was really against the law except for assault. So...the police didn't search for her.
"Liam!!" Harry practically yelled, pulling me and Britt out the door. I was quickly snapped out of my recap and was surprised when everyone else followed us out the door.
"Obviously this is worse than we all thought it would be. This isn't like the last time. It's worse. We all have to help them in anyway possible." Harry ordered, sounding authoritative.
Britt cried onto my shoulder gently and I grasped her hand tightly.
"Why is life so....cruel?" She asked out loud and everyone got silent. I sighed and slowly led her away from the group. I took her into a bathroom and let her cry on my shoulder as I tried to calm her.
"Why are you crying baby?" I asked gently and she cried harder. "Niall and Mackenzie will be okay. " I assured and she buried her head in my chest.
"I kn....know they will....." she murmured, crying steadily into my chest.
​​ "Then ...what's wrong?" I asked, getting confused.
"I......no one......deserved to....d...die L....Liam....." she stammered and I smiled.
​​​​ "Babe. Sometimes........God lets people die at the right time......." I whispered and she hiccupped like a little girl and looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes.
"Wh....why do I f...feel like t...this? He...r..raped me....." she trailed and I sighed.
"You're sweet. That's why. You love everyone and everything. You can't stand to see other people dying. Jake helped Niall and Mackenzie escape and took a bullet for the both of them. He turned good. ​​​​​​" I finished and she sniffed and kissed me gently. Her lips were hot, but I didn't mind. I don't love her for her kiss. I don't love her for her looks. I love her for her. And she loves me for me. That's all that matters.
"I.....l..love you Li...." she stammered and I sighed.
"Yeah. I know." I said, trying to cheer her up. She laughed through her tears and I brushed back her blonde hair.
"I want to marry you. Right now." She said boldly and I laughed.
"Right here? In a bathroom?" I asked and she nodded.
"With you here.....it would be special." She whispered.
"Start planning my dear. I am marrying you as soon as Niall can stand up. I've already decided. He's gonna be my best man." I said and she nodded, wiping her face. I handed her a tissue and she nodded a thanks.
"You're wonderful." She whispered, kissing my nose.
"Thanks love. " I said as we walked out of the bathroom.

-Britt's POV-
Liam has proved again. He never fails to make me feel better. I saw Harry, standing over by the wall, by himself. Kendall was talking urgently to a crying Alexa. I decided not to get in the middle of their newfound friendship and walked over to Harry. Liam didn't follow me, knowing I'd want some time alone with the boy I now call my brother.
I sat down on a window ledge next to him and grabbed his hand in mine.
"You okay?" I asked quietly and he sighed and shrugged.
"I know this sounds.....weird....but none of the guys believe me. Somethings wrong with Zayn. I think he's planning on leaving the band. I know it. I can tell. Please believe me. No one else will." Harry whispered and I put my head down into my hands.
"How do you......know this.......?" I asked and he sighed.
"Well.....I heard him.....not that long ago...on the phone with his family....." he trailed and I sighed.
"You were eavesdropping?" I asked. He quickly shook his head, then nodded, then shook it again.
"Yes.....well.No....I....dunno......all I know is he's thinking about it. I see the signs too. He doesn't seem as.....happy." harry trailed and I nodded slowly.
"Yes......but that's probably because of Audrey."
"No. Not after a year.......He's doing much better than he was. He doesn't draw her anymore. He doesn't talk about her. I think he's finally accepting that she's.....gone." he whispered and I gripped his hand tighter.
"Listen Harry. Don't talk to him about this. It will only make him mad." I ordered and he nodded.
"Yeah. I won't." He whispered, looking sad. "I wish everything could go back to the way it was......when we were all....happy." he whispered sadly, looking as if he were going to cry.
"Haz, that's not the way life works." I whispered and he smiled a little.
"Thanks Britt." He whispered. I nodded slowly and grabbed his face, kissing his cheek. He smiled and I let go of his hand.
"You ever wanna talk....I'm always here." I said and he smiled.
"Yeah. I know."

-Niall's POV-
It's dark. So dark and.....cold. The air was dank and heavy around me.
"Mackenzie?!" I shouted in the darkness. There was no sound. Only the dull sound of crying off in the distance. "Kenz?!" I shouted again, searching through the darkness. Where is my princess? Who took her from me?
I saw a figure through the darkness, huddled on the ground. Her dark hair was draped over her shoulder carelessly. I walked up slowly to it and knelt down next to it, putting my hand on her back. "Kenz?" I asked slowly. She looked up at me and began to cry.
"Niall. I'm sorry. I can't." She whispered. She grabbed my face and kissed me hard on the lips. But...before I could kiss back, she pulled away. She slowly looked down at her arms, at the scars that were strangely all healed. She cried and a tear dripped down to her arm. As soon as the tear hit her skin, her skin burst open. I gasped as the scars began to bleed again. All of them. Every.....single..one that she has ever inflicted upon herself. She cried into my shoulder as she bled. I tried to staunch the flow of blood with my shirt, but soon.....the shirt was soaked through with her dark blood. The blood seemed to....run out and I couldn't get it to stop. I slowly lowered her down so she was lying on the ground. I laid down next to her and held her hand, which was sticky with her blood. It was no use. I couldn't get any of her bleeding to stop.
"Is this....how it all ends...?" I stammered and started to cry. She smiled over at me through her pain.
"I did this.....to myself Niall......" she whispered, her voice incredibly weak as she grabbed my face in her bloody hands.
She gently kissed me and I could feel how weak she was getting.
"I......love......you Nialler...." She whispered slowly, her breathing became short and she laid back down.
"Love, don't." I whispered, sobbing into her hair. "I can't take away your pain." I mumbled in agony. Then, she smiled.
"That's because it doesn't hurt...." she whispered slowly, her lips were red with her blood. Her eyes fluttered a second on my face before slowly......drifting closed.........forever.
