The Way Things Work

Chapter Forty Five

"SAM!" Harry called out as he shook the frail door. You were lain lifeless on the other side of the door as you slipped further and further toward your eternal rest. Harry finally brought the door tumbling down and he fell next to your body. "Baby please wake up." He whispered as the tears began falling from his face to your own. Your face grew paler and paler as your shallow breathing stopped completely. "SAM!" He pleaded as he threw each of his legs on either side of you and sat on your stomach. He braced his hands and placed them over your broken heart and began to thrust. "Breathe babe, please just breathe for me. I love you." He choked on the tears as he pressed his lips to yours and flushed his own tender air into your lungs. 

"What the Hell?" Liam rushed toward the bathroom, originally mad at Harry but soon confused by the sight of his attempt to force a breath from your lifeless body. 

"Call an ambulance! Please!" He cried out as he smashed his lips back on yours. 

"NO! I NEED TO SEE HER!" Sarah wailed as Zayn had her restrained to the couch. 

"NO! SIT DOWN! YOU CAN'T!" He refused.

"They want to know what happened." Liam walked back in.

"She overdosed on those damn sleeping pills!"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DOOR?!" Louis stormed into his flat to find two broken doors.

"Not now Louis!" Liam called from the bathroom.

"Louis?" Harry stopped everything. He removed his hands from your chest and his lips from your own and walked out.

"HARRY!" Liam begged but he continued to walk. Liam replaced Harry and started working on you. "Please wake up Sam. We love you, Harry loves you! Please!" 

But your body still remained motionless as your face remained pale and your lips turned a haunting shade of blue. 

"LOUIS YOU'RE A FUCKING BASTARD!" Harry screamed in rage as his fist collided with Louis' jaw.

"What did I do?!"

"You-You-"

"Is this about me kissing Eleanor be-" He said as he stepped forward, regaining him stregnth. 

"WHAT?! YOU KISSED HER TOO?"

"Wait you didn't know?"

"NO! ALL I KNEW WAS THAT ELEANOR CAME OVER AND TOLD SAM HOW YOU SAID SHE WAS FAT, UGLY, UNWANTED AND UNLOVED! SHE RANTED ON ABOUT HOW YOU SAID SHE WAS WORTHLESS AND YOU JUST WANTED TO GET INTO HER PANTS!"

"W-What? I never said that!" He stepped closer to Harry. "All I said was that I didn't think I was in love with Sam! I said that I thought I needed to break up with her!"

"She came down to do the same!"

"Wait, she was going to break up with me?"

"Yes! She was finally mine! She said that she realized maybe she was forcing herself to fall in love! Louis, she was going to be mine again." He whimpered.

"What do you mean 'was'?" Harry and the others forgot that Louis still didn't know what was going on. 

"She is in the bathroom! I think she's dead! She ate all of her sleeping pills!"

"Oh my God! Harry!" Louis took an unstable Harry into his arms as Harry's tears transferred from his eyes to the shirt.

"What if she dies?" He murmured into Louis' shirt.

"She won't, she's strong. Harry when she wakes up be there for her. Let her love you and let yourself love her."

"I-I can have her?"
