~Harry~ (it’s been a while since we’ve seen what’s gone through his head yeah?)

The second his laughs turned to tears, I immediately held him tightly to my chest. I had never seen Niall cry, not that I could recall anyways, so this was something new to me. I had never had to be the strong one, but now, now I needed to be. He had always been there for me, and now it was time to be there for him.

It was strange seeing him like this, but at the same time absolutely heartbreaking. I didn’t know how to help, and holding him in my arms as he sobbed made me feel helpless. Absolutely helpless. And it sucked, it really sucked.

He was sobbing his eyes out, snot running from his nose, tears cascading down his face, cheeks dusted pink. His body shook with sobs, hands toughing roughly at his hair.

I wrapped my arms even tighter around his rocking body, softly whispering words of reassurance into his ear; begging him to stop crying. My voice broke on occasion because I tried to hold in the tears that had sprung to my eyes at the sight of him completely breaking down.

I wanted to cry, to murder the people responsible for breaking my indestructible Niall, to make him laugh. But, none of those things was possible. Not with the tears violently falling down his flushed cheeks, not when lashing out could push him further away from me, could push him over the edge he was so dangerously teetering on. And there was no way I would risk something like that. Anger was beginning to consume me, but then again so was sadness, helplessness, and the urge to make him laugh again.

After several long minutes of him still sobbing, and the others standing around helplessly trying to figure out what to do, it all stopped. Niall slumped in my grip and I immediately began to panic slightly. Okay, so maybe slightly was a bit of an exaggeration. I was freaking out pretty avidly at this point.

I began lightly shaking him, gaining no response from him and causing my panicking heart to thump harder in my chest. I took deep breaths, knowing now was not the time to panic. I gently lied him down on the dirt covered ground, small blades of grass curling gently around his resting body.

His chest rose and fell slightly with each breath he took, and I sighed in relief. At least he was still breathing. That thought made my chest tighten, but at the same time lifted a weight from my shoulders. He was okay, and that was all that mattered.

I could see the others watching helplessly, Liam fidgeting around like he wanted to try and help but was too scared to actually make a move to step closer. I didn’t really blame him, but he wouldn’t be getting near my Niall anytime soon. Not if I had anything to do with it. Sure I sounded over protective, but he was mine and I didn’t want anyone to take him away from me. I wasn’t the baby, someone he could take care of anymore, and I was terrified he wouldn’t like me anymore. He fell in love with an innocent person, and then I broke, and now I’m not the same. So what if he didn’t love me anymore? What if he didn’t feel the same for me as he did before? I didn’t want to lose him, but I didn’t want to pretend to be someone else. It wasn’t a coping mechanism anymore, this was the real me. And him not liking me, let alone loving me, anymore scared the shit out of me.
