Niall's Pov:

I hear a thud from upstairs. Immediately, I think of Harry. I dash upstairs to Harry's bedroom as fast as I can.

I knock on the door. "Are you okay?" I ask him frantically.

No response.

I open his door and look in. Inside, I find Harry lying on the ground with a piece rope around his neck and a stool afar from him. Stunned, I don't know what to do.

I shout the first thing that comes to my mind. "HARRY!" I run to his side. I kneel next to him. He's breathing thank god!

He turns over and groans. "Niall. Please leave."

"No! Im not leaving your side! Ever again! I don't want you to try and kill yourself ever again!" I tell him.

"Everything's fine." He tells me unconvincingly.

"No its not!" Tears finally begin to form in my eyes. "I almost lost you!" I sit him up on his bed. "I demand you tell me whats wrong right now so I can fix it and make it better! I want to help you." I plead.

"Well maybe I don't want help!" Harry stands up. "Just leave me alone!"

"Harry!" I grab his wrist. Under his shirt, I can feel cuts. He turns back towards me and writhes in pain for a moment. Feeling terrible about hurting him, I jump up from the bed and hug him. Reluctantly he hugs back.

I sit him back down on his bed and put my arm around him. He leans his head on my shoulder. "Now, can you tell me what happened?"

Obviously upset, he cracks. He pulls his phone from his pocket and unlocks it. He pulls up a conversation with Lou. "Read." He says.

Louis: We cant do this anymore.

Harry: What do you mean?

Louis: Us. Management suggested the idea of us spending less time with each other. I agree with them.

Harry: We can work something else out.

Louis: Sorry. I love you. It was fun. But we cant be in this relationship anymore. Its just not worth it.

Harry: Louis, please.

Louis: Sorry. I hope you're not too upset about this.

Harry: Im not.

Obviously Harry was upset. "So you and Louis..."

"We were dating secretly. For quite some time." Surprisingly, Im not that shocked. You could always tell Louis and Harry had sexual tension towards each other.

"Did anyone else know?"

"No one. Management tried their best to keep us away from each other fearing that Larry was real. Little did they know, we were." He admits. "Me and Louis have been going through a rough patch lately. We told each other everything. We were really close to each other. He told me he started having feelings for someone else a couple days ago and it broke my heart. I should have seen it coming."

"Im sorry Harry. I had no idea. Is that why you cut yesterday?" I ask him.

"It is."

"Im so sorry Haz." A moment of silence appears. "Im glad you told me instead of keeping it inside yourself the whole time." I told him.

"I guess. I just wish I succeeded. I don't know how I can be around him now. Its going to kill me inside."

"Well, Ill be here or you. You can always talk to me." I tell him.

"I just might. Can you promise to never hurt me like Louis did?"

"I promise." I stand up and he follows. We hug. It lingers for a moment but the embrace doesn't last long. I look him in the eye. "Everything's going to be okay now. I promise." The color has returned to his eye. I grab his hand. "Come down to the kitchen. I'm going to make you chicken noodle soup."

"Thanks." He grins. "Can you please not tell any of the other boys about any of this. Please?"

"I promise."
