The final goodbye| L.S

0.2| the final straw

The floor creaked as he stepped forward. A small hunched up figure lay on the bed. Rays of light bounced off the walls their  light illuminating his pail skin.

"It's time to wake up, harry," Louis whispered.

He stumbled into the room and walked to the figure. It hurt to see him like this. Two long locks of hair lay on the side of the pillow. Tears slipped out of his emerald green eyes.

"Harry?" Louis asked.

Harry grabbed Louis's arm and pulled his beside him.

"No," Harry replied simply, knowing the question he was about to be asked.

"Zayn is coming today," Louis said as Harry snuggled into Louis their bodies molding together.

"Does he know?" Harry asked, Louis shook his head, " we have to tell him" Louis replied.

They lay in silence until the moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Louis walked out and Harry heard the door open and the familiar sound of zayn's voice.

~~

Harry took a deep breathe and walked into the room.
Zayns head snapped up and he ran forward enveloping harry in a warm hug.

"H-harry," he whispered tears welling up in his deep brown eyes.

Zayn stayed quiet until Louis changed the subject to soccer. They laughed and joked for hours.

Zayn was making dinner with Louis in the kitchen. As Harry lay on the couch.

As Zayn reaches for the pan above Louis's head the sleeve of his jumper lifted revealing a mark. Then Another mark. Marks dotted over his arm.

Louis fell to his knees.

"Zayn, what are you doing to yourself?!" Louis asked tears streaming down his face.

Zayn looked at Louis his body shaking.

"I saw the pills, the blue ones but are you really...." Louis asked.

Zayn nodded his head. " I'm not happy, I feel alone in a room full of people, I feel unhappy at the happiest times, I feel.... empty".

They looked at each other for a moment in silence before Louis said, " promise me, promise you won't do anything again, for Liam please".

Zayn looked into Louis's eyes guilt filling up his body.

He nodded "I promise,"
Louis didn't see zayns hands as he said it.
His fingers crossed like a child.
Zayn hated lying.
But he hated life more.

~~

It began to grow dark and Zayn left.
He hugged the boys goodbye and walked out of the door.

The two boys didn't notice Zayn walk up the stairs of the apartment complex instead of down.

They didn't notice his car in the driveway the next day.

Because little did they know, they would never stare into those sad brown eyes ever again.

~~

Tears spilt down his angelic face.

"It's all my fault," he whispered.

"No it's not, the scars on his arms meant more than I thought, the hurt in his eyes meant more," Louis replied.

"I'm the reason for the hurt, I was the final straw," Harry said.

"No you weren't, cancer was the final straw," Louis replied shakily.

The room quietened as the slim brown coffin was walked through.

~~

The tree shook free the pink blossoms as they flew around the yard.

The shovel clattered into the ground the sound echoing in the poor boys ears.

Liam lay in front of the slim brown coffin his tears disappearing into the soil.

Liam couldn't think straight. He couldn't see straight. He needed the one person who understood him. One day, soon, he would have him again.

Harry lay against Louis's chest, Louis's arms wrapped around his small waist.

The flowers drifted down and landed in the remainder of harry'a hair.

They watched as the coffin was lowered into the soil.

"Goodbye Zayn," Louis and Harry whispered.

The next morning. The tree fell.
It's flowers  falling softly onto the dug up dirt around the coffin.
