Zayn's P.O.V.

I was nearly unresponsive to everything that just happened. It was as though I couldn't really grasp it, and the grip of reality was slowly slipping right through my fingertips. Harry was lying on the floor, groaning in pain, blood seeping through his shirt. Louis stood a few paces away from me, a shocked expression on his face. He looked as though he was completely unsure what had just happened.

That wasn't stopping me.

"You think you can hurt everyone I care about?" I said, angrily. "Well, I'm going to make sure that you can never hurt anybody else."

"I-I...I didn't mean to..." His eyes shifted to Harry, and he took a step back. I took this moment to take full advantage of his weak point. He was scared by now.

Quickly, with no thought whatsoever, I rushed over to him and punched him square in the face. He dropped the gun and quickly came back to his senses, trying to punch back. I grabbed his fist with my own and I punched him in the gut. He groaned, blood escaping his mouth. He didn't let that stop him, as he kicked me in the shin. With a yelp, I fell to my knees.

"You wanna die too?" he asked, wiping some leftover blood from his lips. He cleared his throat and smiled. "I was watching your every move today, you know, and I saw you drop little baby Jasper off at your mom's. At first, I was going to kill all of them, and then you. But I wasn't going to kill the baby. I was going to take him and raise him myself. I don't know about you," he spoke, "but I think I could raise the baby much better than you. I am sane, after all."

"You're not going to get out of this, Louis. Just surrender." I was trying to reason with him, or stall, if you will. The police wouldn't gotten there any second by then. 

"I don't mind going to prison anymore. My mission is complete. I just wanted to show her how it felt to be in as much pain as she put me through." Louis looked down at his hands, which were blood stained. "You know, I started off with a game of cat and mouse. But she was just too stupid." He shook his head. "It really is a crying shame. But in the end, she needed to feel physical pain because mental pain, though she felt it too, wouldn't have been enough."

"You're demented. You deserve to die the same way Perrie did, only you shouldn't die as fast," I said, keeping the confident exterior.

"Eh, like I said earlier; I don't care what happens to me after this. Perrie is dead, and actually, you should be thanking me!" He began to laugh like a lunatic. "Had I not done this for you, she would've hurt you, with me in or out of the picture. It's just in her nature, Zayn. The girl was no good. Why would you want something like that?" He gave me a deadly serious look.

"She loved me!" I yelled at him, tired of his antics.

"No, she didn't. Is that why she left with me the day of her murder? Would you really call that love?" He paced the room. "That is not love. In fact, had she never gone out with me that day, I wouldn't have killed her. She'd still be here. I was testing to see if she would hurt you again, and then you know what she would've done next. She would've went back to you and said she loved you, and then hurt me again. She literally went to you and claimed to love you before doing the same to me. I did us both a big favor, sir," he said, shaking his head.

Just then, the front room's window got busted in, glass shattering to the floor as a gunshot claimed to be the cause.

"Come out with your hands up or we'll be forced to take extreme measures!" A voice announced. 

"Well, Zayn, our time has come to its end." He laughed. "I hope I opened your eyes as to why she deserved to die." He waited a few seconds to speak again. "I'm going to go out there and give myself over to the police because I know I'm wrong, but she couldn't live. Tell Harry I'm sorry." With that, he walked out of the house, and I rushed over to Harry.

"Harry, wake up." I shook him, trying to get him to stir. "Wake up!" I repeated the action before checking for a pulse on his neck. There was one there, very faint. Ambulance and cops began to rush into the house. "Over here!" I gestured to them to come over.

I was pulled up by some cops who led me out of the house with a safety blanket over my shoulders. "Is he okay?" I asked, curiously.

"He's alive. He needs to get to a hospital. There's no exit wound," the officer, Mr. Jones said. I nodded and he walked away. I looked around the neighborhood, and I saw faces of people I didn't recognize, outside of their homes just curiously staring over here to find out what happened. There were flashing lights everywhere, and my eyes fell upon one of the cop cars. Louis was on the inside in the back seat, hands visibly cuffed behind his back. He looked sad; a deep frown on his face, his eyes droopy, and a crease right between his brows.

He was looking around when his eyes landed on mine. He mouthed 'sorry' and I was taken aback. It appeared to me that after everything he'd done, he still had some kind of human in him.

Sighing, my eyes watched as an unconscious Harry was wheeled out of the house strapped onto a gurney.

Searching around the neighborhood one last time, I knew Harry wouldn't be staying here anymore. I thought of the time Harry and I were staying in that apartment, and he was rushing my birthday... Things were so clear then. Now everything was broken, and I didn't think it could be fixed. At that point, tape couldn't even patch up the wounds that were opened.

Tears filled my eyes as I thought about everything that got me to this very point, and I looked down at the paved streets. Tears were streaming down my face, and my chest hurt with a pain I'd never felt before. Only then, was I truly mourning. Not just for Perrie, but for Harry and Caraline, Jasper, my family, and myself. I, myself, was truly broken. Broken beyond repair.

After today, I'd never see the world the same again.
