What About Now || h.s. *COMPLETED*

Chapter 88 - Before You Leave Me

"We don't know," Niall said.

"Then just pull the plug."

"No."

We all turned our heads to the door and there stood Harry.

"None of you are going to pull the plug on my Katie."

Harry entered the room and stood on the other side of the bed.

"Oh, so I'm your Katie now? What happened to that blonde you were kissing in the club, huh? Yeah, I saw that," Katie snapped.

Even if she was dying, she could still be a bit snappy.

"It meant nothing."

"Meant nothing my ass, Harry. You can blame that kiss on you being drunk all you want."

"Katie, calm down," I said.

"Don't tell me to calm down, Zayn!"

I saw her throw her hands up to her head and shut her eyes closed for a couple seconds before opening them again.

"I'm sorry for yelling...but I want Harry out if here," Katie said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"I'm sure it's because you chose to drink over her," Louis said.

I watched as Harry shot a dirty look at Louis.

"Lou is right. Now get out of here Harry," Katie said.

"No. I have every right to be here just as much as you guys do," Harry said.

"No you don't. Katie told you to leave, so I suggest you listen to her," I said.

"You're not the boss of me, Zayn. You can't make me do anything."

"Can't I?"

"Boys! This is not the time or place to start a fight," Liam said.

Harry and I both said sorry and turned our attention back to Katie.

"Why is he still here?" Katie asked motioning to Harry.

"Come on, Harry. Let's go," Niall said as he began pulling Harry away.

Harry tried to fight Niall's grip but he eventually gave in and let Niall take him.

"Lou?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, Katie?"

"I just want to tell you..."

"Yeah?"

"I definitely would have chosen you over Harry if you met me first."

I saw Louis smile.

"And Liam..."

"Yeah, Katie?"

"You hold onto Dani...and never let her go."

"I will, Katie."

"Zeezee?"

Oh no, she was saying her goodbyes. I didn't want to hear what she wanted to tell me.

"Yes, Katie?"

"I want you to pull the plug."

"No, Katie! I can't do that!"

"Please, Zeezee. I don't want to be in pain anymore."

I stared into her eyes and had a pained look on my face. I could see the pain in her eyes but I couldn't do it. I didn't want to.

"Katie...I can't. I won't."

"Liam? Louis? Can you give me and Zayn a minute?"

I watched them nod their heads and leave. I really didn't want them to leave, but Katie asked them to.

"Katie, I can't do it," I said again.

"Sing to me, Zayn."

"What?"

"Sing to me. I want your voice be the last thing I hear before you pull the plug."

"Katie, I'm not going to pull the plug."

"Yes you are. Please sing to me."

I sighed and I knew I couldn't fight with her anymore.

"What do you want me to sing, Katie?"

"Can you sing Moments to me?"

I nodded my head, climbed into the bed next to her and held her in my arms.

"Shut the door. Turn the light off. I wanna be with you. I wanna feel your love. I wanna lay beside you. I cannot hide this, even though I try. Heart beats harder, time escapes me. Trembling hands touch skin. It makes this hard, girl. And the tears stream down my face. If we could only have this life for one more day. If we could only turn back time. You know I'll be your life. Your voice. Your reason to be my love, my heart is breathing for this moment in time. I'll find the words to say, before you leave me today," I sang softly.

I cried while I sang to her.

"I love you, Zayn," she said.

"I love you too, Katie."

I continued to hold her in my arms.

"You are gunna have to do it eventually, Zayn," Katie said softly.

"I know."

"Then quit stalling."

I got out of the bed and looked at her. I leaned over the bed and gave her one last kiss.

"I hope the angels take good care of you, Katie," I said.

I saw her weakly smile. And then I did it.
