Chapter 24

Zayn's POV~~~

"Where ya going mate?" Niall said as he walked up to me with a sandwich in his hand.

I frowned at him, taking my hand from the knob. He gave me a confused look. I turned to face him.

"We are going to see Sarah. Go tell Harry and Liam and meet me in the car." I opened the door, walked out and closed it behind me.

My shoes made clicking noises as I walked down the paved driveway. I heard the door to the haouse close and faintly made out three sets of footsteps following me. Liam ran ahead of us all, unlocking the car and climbing into the drivers seat before Harry could.

Niall clambered into the passengers seat, but only because he tackled Harry first. In the end, I was in the backseat with the curly haired lad. The drive to the hospital where Sarah was staying didn't take long, and we were all happy to get out of the stuffy car.

Harry and Niall bounded happily up the stairs while Liam had to follow them so they wouldn't break something....or eachother. Anyway, I took the elevator to the floor Sarah was on. By the time I actually got up to her door the other three were waiting.

I smiled apologetically before reaching over and knocking softly on her door. We waited, but no response. Liam ushered me forward, so I opened the door. We walked into the room expecting to find Sarah asleep in the hospitals uncomfortable bed, but we found the opposite.

Sarah was asleep, yes; but she wasn't in the hospital bed. She was curled up to someone else on the couches pull out bed. Harry sucked in a breath for some reason. Niall squealed, while Liam just smiled. I, on the other hand, was frozen.

Louis was the other person on the bed with his arm wrapped around Sarah's waist and his cheek pressed to the top of her head. She was resting with her hair over her left shoulder, her arm drapped across Lou's torso, and her head on his right shoulder.

The love coming from both of them was strong. So strong, a blind man could've seen it. That's what hurt me. It made my heart hurt to know that we leave on Saturday. Today's Thursday. We have to leave for tour again soon.

She's going to either be furious when we leave, or a crying mess. Honestly? I prefer the angry Sarah to the crying Sarah. But both versions make me even guiltier. Talia is leaving her, Amy is leaving her, and now we have to leave her.

I've got to stop thinking abot it though. If I keep fretting over it, I'll break down in tears. I saw from beside me, Harry pulled out his phone and aimed it at the two snugglers. We heard the annoying click of the camera.

Harry slid his phone back in his pocket. Deciding not to wake them up yet, I turned and ushered the other lads out of the room. Liam turned to face me, a worried look on his face.

He pointed twards the closed door to Sarah's room, "That's not good. Whatever they are, is not good."

"Why isn't it good?" I asked.

Liam ran his hand through his short hair, and sighed. "If they are a thing, imagine how much more pain she will be in when we leave. When he leaves."

Niall, Harry, and I all groaned at the same time. I rubbed my temples in realization. Sarah must really love him if she is cuddled to his chest. She loves me and I've got to leave. She loves Amy and Amy is going to leave. She loves Lou and Lou has to leave with me.

Everyone she loves is leaving. Sarah is going to be torn apart.

Amy's POV~~~

Two days left.

At least I haven't gone yet. It's obvious that my sister needs me here as long as possible. She hasn't realized how rapidly everyone is dissapearing from her life. When she does finally see it though, there is no doubt that it'll be chaos.

Hopefully I'll get to see Zayn again before I face the envitable. He was always closer to Sarah than me, but he will always be like my older brother. Maybe I could get the nurse to bring me ice cream. Or maybe she could find Zayn for me!

Ice cream first.

I twisted around in my uncomfortable hospital bed so I could reach the call button. The IV in my arm shifted slightly as I turned back to face the telly. I flinched at the slight pain throbbing in my head. Doctor Shult said the tumors may cause headaches. She wasn't wrong.

This slight pain behind my skull isn't nearly as bad as the others I've been having. Finally, a short nurse with bright blonde hair walked into my room. I didn't really rememer her name. Demi? Destiny? Desirae? I'm going to go with Blondie.

"What'cha need Amy?" She asked.

I smiled, "Can I have some chocolate Ice cream? And could you find Zayn for me?" I asked.

She nodded before grinning and walking out the door. I'm not sure what kind of show was on, but I do know that the nurse took exactly ten minutes to bring me my ice cream and one person. He gave me a confused expression as he followed the short nurse into my room.

I shrugged and glanced to the blonde lady handing me ice cream quickly. He gave me a slight nodded, telling me that he understood what I was hinting at. She gave me a small wave right before she closed the door.

Zayn looked at me with a questioning eyebrow raised. I grinned at him, patting the spot next to me on my bed. He sat down slowly.

"I need to talk to you about Sarah." I said around a spoonful of ice cream.

He nodded and pulled his legs up to sit crisscrossed. I sucked in a calming breath.

"I can feel it Zayn. Don't ask me how I'm sure, It's just a feeling. My last day is Saturday." I whispered.

Zayn gave me a look filled with fear, hurt, and anger. Why is he angry? Maybe I should ask him what's wrong? I'll do that.

"Are you okay Zayn?" I asked quietly. He shook his head, no. "What's wrong?" I questioned.

When he looked up at me, I saw his eyes were glassy and his lower lip was quivering slightly. He looked like a sad puppy. His brown eyes shining with guilt and unshed tears. I nodded my head, telling him that he could cry.

He did. I watched as he broke down. In my years of knowing this boy, I've only ever seen him cry twice, this being the second time. The first was when he found Sarah and I on his doorstep one night. Our dad had hit Sarah across the cheek which left a red mark.

Sarah had grabbed me and an emergency bag from under the steps, and she ran us over to the Malik's house. Mom was off on business, leaving us alone with dad. Zayn cried because he saw how we were soaked from the rain, Sarah's red cheek, and my trembling form on her hip. It crushed him.

Now, he was crying for an unknown reason. I'll make it known then.

"Why are you crying Zayn?" I asked.

He hiccupped once. "I-I-I...W-we st-start tour a-again Saturday."

I stared at him, shocked. So the day I die, is the same day the boys leave. Sarah is going to lose all of us on the same day.
