-NIAM-

-SAD-

Liam lay in his bed. He was a little woozy from the tubes coming out from his body, and the bright white walls weren't helping either. But he didn't mind, the tubes were keeping him alive. And while he was alive he could still see his Nialler.

He ran a hand over his bald head, he was developing another headache. As much as Liam wanted all of his headaches to go away, they wouldn't. No painkillers or morphine would take away what he had. Liam had been diagnosed with cancer a month ago, so there was always the chance he would live. But in all honesty, Liam only wanted to live for Niall. Cancer was just another part of life, he thought.

Hearing a knock on the door, Liam instantly perked up. It was most likely Niall, he promised he would visit today. Niall was Liam's boyfriend of two years, and Liam had been thinking about proposing for awhile now.

A nurse burst into the room, oblivious to Liam's constant headaches.

"Someone's here to see you Liam! I think his name is Niall," she winked happily. Liam, and the other patients were grateful for her optimism.

A short boy came into the room, but he wasn't blonde. His head was shaved, brown roots already starting to grow back. He came straight over to Liam, giving him a long hug. A Horan hug, to be exact.

"Wow Niall, you look different. I like it," Liam rasped.

"I shaved my head for you Liam!" Niall happily said.

Liam giggled. "Twinsies!"

By now both boys were giggling, creating a different atmosphere in the room.

The door opened again, Liam's doctor poked his head through. Smiling nicely at Liam, he turned to face Niall, who was making himself comfortable in a small chair. "Um, Niall? Meet me in my office please?"

"Sure," Niall smiled. He looked back at Liam. "Be right back babe, I've got a surprise for you," he winked.

Liam looked back at him, pleading with his eyes not to let Niall leave him. The last few days at the hospital had been rather lonely. Niall was the only one that had visited him these days, his family and other friends had taken a quick break to go home and recollect themselves.

To Liam's dismay, Niall had just ignored his look and followed to doctor. When he entered the room, the doctor took his seat and gestured for Niall to take his.

"The latest test was, not what we expected," he said. Niall looked at him with a worried expression. His head was flooding with questions.

"Why? What? Is something wrong?" he paused for a second. "Is he going to live?"

"I'm sorry. What we found, that the cancer is spreading faster and faster. His immune system has already given up. It's only a matter of hours. We meant for you to come earlier, but-"

"No!" the doctor was cut off by Niall's hysteric scream.

"I'm so, so sorry..." The doctor reached over to touch Niall's shoulder, but he pulled away from the touch. He pulled his knees to his chest, in an attempt to make the bad things away. This was all a dream, he thought. Liam couldn't possibly be dying. His boyfriend... the boy he loved... the boy everyone loved...

"It's overwhelming his body," his voice quiet with sympathy evident in his voice. Eveybody cared about Liam. Nobody wanted him to meet his end this way.

"What can we do?" Niall whimpered.

"There's nothing we can do at this point," he said.

Niall didn't want to believe it, but it was true. All the things he wanted to do with Liam. Start a family, tell the world, marry him... And then Niall remembered. Paying no more mind to the doctor, he raced to Liam's hospital room, tears streaming down his face and clutching Liam's surprise tightly.

Back in Liam's room, things were starting to get cold. Or mabe it was him, but Liam was freezing. His breath was getting short and the headache had changed into a painful migraine. He wanted to sit up, call a nurse, but he couldn't. It would require too much energy, the enery that Liam didn't have. His lungs felt like they were closing. He made one last attempt to sit up, only resulting in the room becoming blurry. Liam couldn't think anymore, he was confused and hurting.

Liam was beginning to give up. As soon as he rested his head, a familier biy burst into the room. His cheeks were wet with tears, and behind them was an adorable shade of red. Liam figured that that was what he was going to miss most about Niall, when he blushed.

Niall knelt beside him. Liam only saw out of the corner of his eye that Niall was holding a ring. Liam's breath was beginning to slow.

The words that next came out of Niall's mouth was muffled, but Liam knew exactly was he was saying. He wanted Liam to marry him. He wanted Liam to be a part of Niall's life, even if Liam's was over. He only wanted to tie the knot with him, so he was forever a part of Niall's existence. But the sad thing was, that Liam's cancer had already taken the boy. His last breath was wasted as Niall muttered his last few words to Liam, words that Liam would never even hear.

"I love you, please answer me Liam..."
