CHAPTER 20

<<Zayn's POV>>

<<The next day>>

That night, I slept in Niall's chambers. Me bed was too messy. We had the maid come in and clean it. I'm pretty sure the Harry knows what happened but he seemed totally chill with it. When I awoke, I realized it was still before the sun. I needed ta get used to the I didn't have ta get up so early. But I was fucked so hard that when I went up to the bathroom, I wobbled and I was walking side to side. Me arse was so sore, but it was so worth it.

I sat on the bed, watching Niall sleep. He never really cared for the comforter so he only had a thin sheet over him. I traced me fingers over each of his landforms on his face. he looked so innocent and young. I'm sure I'm gonna age early because of the shitty things I had to do as a young lad. I bent doon and lightly rubbed me nose on his. Even though he was asleep, he smiled. I love his smile. It's one o' his most attractive features. I'd do anything to keep that on his face. Then I heard him moan.

"nnnggg, yeeehh," Niall moaned. I chuckled. I knew what he was dreaming aboot.

<<In the hospital>>

<<Louis' POV>>

I sat in the hospital room, Niall had us in our own private room. I mostly slept on the divine nearby, but right now, I was sitting on the armchair next to Liam. Liam was asleep, with lots o' medications and other things. I felt as if time were ticking away. I looked at him. He was me love o' me life. I looked at his jaw and I remember how his smile lit me life up. He was definitely better fed now and the circles under his eyes went away. He was cleaner after a few baths. Last night, I got some food at a nearby tavern and we ate like kings. Or like Niall. If he eats anything like the feast at the ball, that is.

I couldn't sleep. Last night, they sent the lab requests and I hoped there may have been some hope o' savin' Liam. Or prolong his life. How can I live without me love? He had been through so much shit. Can't he deserve at least a year o' freedom? He lost his parents, he lost his brother and now, he's going soon to be gone. He moved in his sleep and I smiled. As if on cue, he smiled. I love that adorable smile. His dimples and eyes are so cute. I touched one o' his cheeks with a finger and lightly gave him a kiss. One o' me tears landed on him. I felt a finger brushing me tears away.

"Baby, stay strong for me, please." Liam begged. His eyes fluttered opened and his smile vanished. I looked at his old clothes on the floor. He clutched me wrists.

"Boobear, please, thank ye for all that ye have done, but now it's the doctor's job," Liam said, he was trying to comfort me! It should be the opposite.

"I should have saved ye long ago, I'm so sorry," I apologized

"Ye can't change the past, but ye can change the future, please promise me something." Liam begged

"Yes, anything, babe," I replied. I would go to hell and back for him.

"Promise me that ye will forgive everyone who has hurt us, let them know that I forgave them. And please, make sure that this never happens again," Liam pleaded. He looked as if the bed was a quicksand and he was sinking. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
