Harry stands patiently outside where Niall told him to wait after school. Niall had gone to get Zayn because he's the only person who could take them to Louis.

“He hates us though, why would I want to go look for him?” Zayn frowns, leaning up against his locker.

“Because he's gone off the deep end, for all we know he could be laying dead on the floor in that house because he overdosed.” Niall tries to get Zayn to see eye to eye with him.

“Shit.” Zayn sighs, he had no idea Louis had gone back to his old ways. He missed his best friend more than ever and the thought of him being dead terrified him.

“Okay fine. I'll take you there.” Zayn says and Niall smiles. They walk out to where Harry is and Zayn furrows his eyebrows.

“Is he coming with us?” Zayn asks.

“He wants to try and get back with Louis.” Niall explains and Harry nods shyly.

Zayn doesn't say anything back but gives a nod of understanding.

Zayn walks in front of them as they trail through the frosty town. The sound of Harry's teeth chattering can be heard by anyone.

The walk seems to take forever due to the cold weather and their slow walking. Harry presses close to Zayn when they enter the ghetto neighborhood in fear of the people around.

“You're fine, most people here won't attack you unless you provoke them.” Zayn tells a worried Harry.

They turn a corner and Zayn points to the one house that doesn't look shabby.

“That one.” Zayn speaks and Harry takes one look at it before he starts running for the house. He can hear the faint calls of Zayn and Niall but he doesn't turn back.

Harry knocks on the front door with abrupt force but is surprised when his knocking opens the door.

“It's unlocked!” Harry hollers back before taking slow steps inside.

It's dim and cold inside. It smells of liquor and weed. The smell stings Harry's nose.

“Louis!” He calls out but receives no reply. Harry feels eerily in the house, as if he's all by himself and maybe he is.

Harry walks around a bit to see if he might find Louis. He's not in the living room or kitchen. He's not in the bedrooms or the basement.

“Where the fuck are you?” Harry starts to cry out of frustration.

“Harry.” Harry jumps as he sees Niall and Zayn behind him.

“I can't find him.” Harry says slowly, wiping away his tears.

“Have you checked everywhere?” Zayn asks and Harry shakes his head.

“I haven't checked the bathroom.”

With that they walk upstairs and Zayn leads them towards the one bathroom in the house.

The door is locked.

“He's gotta be in there.” Harry cries. Zayn lets out a sigh and begins to kick the door.

It doesn't take much for the flimsy door to break down and the three of them hurry in.

It's dark and they can only make out silhouettes of objects but everyone in that bathroom can see a limp man laying in the bathtub and a pill bottle on the ground. Harry walks closer before dropping to his knees as he sees the familiar face.

Louis.

He has a full beard on his face and his hair is a greasy, disheveled mess.

Niall crouches down and puts two fingers two where Louis's pulse should be in his neck.

Harry is sobbing as he takes Louis's cold and calloused hand in his.

“Is he breath-” Zayn slowly speaks before Niall starts to shake his head.

“He has a slow pulse.” Niall sighs and Harry's head snaps up.

“Call 999!” Harry cries gripping onto Louis's hand.

Zayn yanks his phone out quickly and calls an ambulance with a shaky voice.

“Please don't die.” Harry repeats over and over again in a whisper. This is all my fault Harry thinks. I shouldn't have over reacted, he would be alive if I just forgave him. These thoughts flood his head.

It doesn't take long for the sound of an ambulance getting closer to the house. Zayn and Niall step out to lead the paramedics inside while Harry stays by Louis's side when they pick Louis up and put him on a gurnee to when they place him in the ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Harry can only worry that this is it for Louis.

Also I strongly recommend reading Victorian Boy by AudreyHornesHeart. It's fantastically written. It's only as if it was written by a professional author. It's a bottom Harry story from what I can tell and is something different from the typical bottom Harry fic. The author is a sweetheart and she also has two other completed fics❤
