one hundred eleven

liam just came out the shower, drying off his hair. after he and niall's escapades, niall told him he was going to harry's house. liam decided to relax a little. he didn't really have much else to do. usually, he'd go to the gym, or find some things in town to do. liam was waiting for zayn to show up here some time soon.

he was still pretty upset about everything, and he wanted nothing more than to talk to harry, but he wanted to give harry time to recuperate and cool down. liam felt bad for him. zayn is one of the nicest demons he knows and he's not saying that because he's his best friend, but generally, he is.

zayn is pretty nice and chill, and all while having a temper, he only ever gets angry when someone messes with the things and people he loves. zayn doesn't love a lot of things, so he becomes overly attached and protective over the few things he does care for. sometimes he can just he irrational, which liam can understand from harry's prospective. he just wishes harry would sit down and talk to him instead of running away. things would be a lot better.

but he knows they'll reunite, true love always find their way back to one another. harry just needs to realize that and stop being stubborn first. after liam dresses in clean clothes, he hears the front door opening and he saunters out of his room to stand at the top of the staircase, seeing zayn running a hand through his hair. he leans over to rest his elbows on the railing.

"look who's back." liam says, walking down the stairs towards him. zayn sighs deeply. "hear from harry?"

zayn shakes his head quietly.

"oh, well niall just went over there not too long ago. i bet they're gonna talk about girly things and feelings and harry will come running back to you soon." liam nudges zayn playfully, trying to lighten him up. zayn rolls his eyes, shrugging slightly.

"sure, liam." he replies quietly.

"oh c'mon, let's go do something. it'll take your mind off things for a bit." liam suggested. zayn shrugs again, nodding his head in agreement. although, all he wanted to do was talk to harry, he had been feeling weird all day, and he just wanted to know if harry was okay. maybe the separation was really getting to him, zayn just felt paranoid not being with him. hell, it was only a week and a half. that wasn't bad was it?

liam didn't know where they were going yet, but he went to grab his keys and put on his shoes. as they were about to walk outside, liam's phone starts to ring. liam pauses, looking a his phone. he sees niall's name flashing across the screen. he briefly tells zayn to hold on, before he answers the phone. zayn stands next to him, trying to listen. liam rolls his eyes and puts it on speaker.

liam can barely begin to talk cause as soon as he puts the phone on speaker, they hear niall's loud crying and shuffling through the speaker. liam frowns deeply, becoming more alarmed, wondering what was going on. "liam!" niall sobs through the phone. his voice is shaky.

"babe, what's going on? why are you crying?" liam asked frowning. he's never seen or heard niall cry before. niall was usually tough and he was nowhere near sensitive, he rarely ever got upset over anything. it had to have been something big to make niall cry like this. niall is sobbing in pure anguish. "baby, what's wrong?" liam asked again when niall doesn't answer.

"h-harry's dead!" niall shrieks. liam freezes, his eyes widening. zayn feels his heart stop.

"what?" liam asked in shock.

"h-harry.... harry and his mum, t-they're both dead!" niall screams. "i- i don't know w-what happened, p-please get over here now! please!"
