Zayn's POV

I'm going to break this door down if it's the last thing I do, I thought to myself. I wonder what happened to Liam? Why was he acting so unusual? And most importantly, why did he lock himself in the bathroom?

It had been silent in there for at least ten minutes now and I decided to take the door down. Tucking my head down as I braced for impact, I charged at the door and it came smashing down, revealing a lifeless Liam. I quickly checked his pulse and vital signs; he had a pulse that was throbbing once every fifteen seconds... way too slow... and he was barely breathing. I quickly called 911 and as soon as I had hung up, sirens came wailing down our small cul-de-sac.

C'mon Li, don't die on me now...

I stayed in the hospital, by his side the whole night through, tears never seemed to stop streaming down my face. I couldn't get that image out of my mind, of Liam, lying on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood and cuts on his upper thigh, a blade in hand... had he been unhappy this whole time? How did I not see it? Is it because I was too consumed in my own problems? This is all my fault...

"Please wake up, Li, please..." I said in a whisper, as tears continued to pour down my face. I never got to tell you I love you...

Thank you for all the lovely comments and not to mention 3.8k reads! :) I really appreciate all you who are reading my works and that you would take the time out of your day to read my book...wow! I can't thank you enough, your comments make my day!

Also, just a note, some people have been confused by this so let me clarify: when I use quotation marks + italics, it means it's dialogue; if I only use italics, it's either said in the person's mind or it's a dream. Just wanted to let you know so that you're aware.

Hope you like the depressing update, hopefully it gets a little happier...

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN NEXT??? COMMENT!!
