Broken

Chapter 4: wait

Louis' p.o.v:.

I nodded to Harry, and he immediately let go of Niall. Almost instantly Niall wailed and reached out towards the source of comfort.

"Nialler come here. I got you," I said, stepping up beside Harry's bunk, where he was sitting.

Niall turned looked up at me as sobs racked his body ad tears streamed down his face. Automatically, my arms locked around his shaking frame. He pressed his face into my chest, and I felt my shirt wettening with his tears.

"Diana, let me be the one to, light a fire inside those eyes, you've been lonely, you don't even know me, but I can feel you crying. Diana, let me be the one to, lift your heart up and save your life, I don't think you even realize, baby you'd be saving mine," I sang quietly, hoping to soothe the younger boy.

Harry's p.o.v.:

As soon as Louis' arms were secured around Niall, I shot out of that room like a cannonball. I felt tears welling in my eyes, which I quickly swiped away, angry that I was crying when Niall needed me most.

I just hated to see him like that. Especially not being able to do anything to help him.

Liam and Zayn were sitting on the couch in the TV room. Zayn's head rested on Liam's shoulder. I sat down on his other side and curled up next to him.

"God damn," I cursed.

"Harry-," Liam started, but I cut him off.

"No, Liam, it's not okay. Niall is in there crying over something serious and I couldn't handle it. I couldn't do it and now he's still upset and it's my fault," I had to stop and take a few deep breaths, willing myself not to burst into tears.

"Hey, Haz, Zayn and I couldn't do it either. You're not the only one," he tried to reason with me.

"That doesn't matter there. You weren't the one that was here when he needed you. I was," I stressed, clenching my fists.

"You went to check on him Harry. No one else did. So in a way, you were here for him when no one else was," Liam tried again.

I sighed. I'm very aware that Liam isn't going to tell me it's my fault. He wouldn't understand. He wasn't the one who found Niall like that.

"So now what?" I asked.

"Now we wait," he said.

I sighed again, realizing he was right and that was all we could do. I laid my head down on Liam's shoulder.

Then Liam leaned his head on top of mine. I scooted a little bit closer to him, seeking physical contact for comfort.

After a few minutes of silence, I heard sniffling and shaky breaths. Liam's crying.

I thought about asking him if he was okay, but Liam was the strong one usually, so I knew he would be embarrassed if I said something.

Oh Niall, if only you realized. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you. We all love you, and your family loves you, and the fans love you. And that's all that matters.
