fighting the stars above

VIII

Mom has been by my side ever since I walked away from Zayn a few hours ago after he confessed he has cancer.

             "You can't walk away from him just like that." mom says, stroking my hair as I lay on my bed, my face emotionless but tears flowing down my cheeks.

                     "He needs you." mom continues "Don't leave him at his lowest point."

                I keep quiet.

                              Mom sighs. "I remember, when you had a severe asthma attack and you were admitted to hospital, Zayn didn't leave your side even once, you know."

        "So, mom? My life wasn't at stake that time," I say, my voice coming out choked and dry "Here, he is..." my voice cracks "He is dying, mom!"

                        "This is a test, Harry. Test of your love." mom says, getting up to leave "Whether you pass or fail, it's up to you."

                 I don't reply.

[ A/N :
       This chapter is much, much better than the last one.
                                  And, I would try hopelessly to make the next chapter a little emotional to try to make you guys cry a little. Or, shed at least one tear. ONE!
    Please vote and comment if you liked the chapter!
                                Love ya!
