Niall's P.O.V.
"Hey, sshh! It's ok! I'm right here! I won't leave you," I assured her.

She's been this way for as long as I can remember. She'd wake up in the middle of the nights complaining about the voices in her head and how they'd torment her and won't let her sleep. Sometimes she'd just start laughing out of nowhere and then it would become difficult for me to differentiate whether the tears cascading down her eyes were of laughter or was she simply crying. And then she'd scratch her arms till blood started oozing out of them. There would be days when she'd not eat anything at all and just simply sit by her window and stare outside, watching the Sun die, just for the Moon to come out and then the Moon to disappear only for the next morning to follow up. Then she'd sometimes even start pulling her hair out of her scalp.

She was a beautiful girl and seeing her in this condition, hurt and grieved me deeply, but I wasn't gonna leave her. Not now, not ever. Probably because she was my first and only friend, and I hers. She needed me, but, above that, she needed help. Her parents would talk to her about getting psychological therapy, and so would I. She'd argue that she didn't wanna leave this house. She'd scream. Throw tantrums and break stuff, but, I too wasn't gonna back down that easy. I kept fighting and trying to persuade her. I'd even promise her that I'd be by her side at all times. Finally she agreed to it, and I couldn't be more happier.

She'd go to some doctor, Maddison. It would be an hourly session where she'd talk with the doctor about hithe voices in her head and the things troubling her.Everyday I'd ask her how her session went and she'd tell me all about it.

Time passed by real quick with days changing into months. She was showing good progress and I was proud of her.

After a year, I realised that I could no longer contact her. I could never see her nor talk to her now and that's when it dawned upon me that she had completely healed and I had faded away completely, with all the other voices in her head.

A/N: When this idea first entered my mind I got sooooo excited about writing it down and sharing it with you guys. I just couldn't wait for Friday to come so I could upload it. Well thank heavens it's here and hope you guys liked and enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Till next time my imaginers. ✌🏼
