Chapter 13:
Liam's POV-
It had been 6 months since my diagnosis. I hadn't heard from Erin since that day in the hospital. I missed her terribly, but now, going through what I had, I was glad I hadn't put her through this too. Currently, I had grown a tumor on my liver. Today was the day for surgery. All the boys would be in the hallway, waiting. I was strapped to the operating table. "Ready, sweetie?" a nurse asked. "As I'll ever be," I replied. She stuck my with the IV and the anesthesia ran into my arm. I blacked out seconds later.
Harry's POV-
Today was going to be one of the hardest of my life. I was already in the waiting room, waiting for Liam to get out of surgery. Even though it wasn't scheduled to be over with for another 3 hours. I felt a tug on my arm. "Hey, you okay?" I looked over at Lexie. She was me savior through this whole thing. I couldn't have ever made it without my girl. I kissed her on the forehead. "I will be the second they wheel Liam out." The seconds ticked by. I never took my eyes off the clock. 2 more hours. 1 more hour. Lexie never let go of my hand. Finally, it was time for the surgery to be over. 5 minutes after. 10 minutes after. Niall was already crying. 20 minutes after. 30 minutes after. Lou buried his face in his girl Gabi's shoulder. He was crying, he just didn't want anyone to see. 45 minutes after. It was now Zayn's turn to cry. An hour after. I'd stayed strong. For the others. For myself. But now, the tears flowed free. I feared we had lost him forever. Lexie gently kissed away the tears as they trickled down my face. I could feel part of me dying on the inside. I just knew it. He gone. An hour and a half after. 2 hours after. Lexie and Gabi started crying too. Lexie held on to my arm and buried her face in my shoulder. I stroked her hair gently, the tears still rolling down my own face. 3 hours after. A nurse appeared. She walked over to us. I knew we looked like a mess, all of us crying like this. "Are you Liam's friends?" she asked us. Zayn replied for us. "Yes." "There's something I have to tell you..."
