Life can be good , it can be absolutely incredible and give you things you could of never dreamed of. But sometimes it was shit, sometimes it ripped away things that you so desperately wanted. It's like the calm before the storm most days .. you never truly know when the storm will hit so you just enjoy the gentle breeze for as long as you possibly can.

Harry knew that better than anyone. Life had given him and taken away from him more times than he could count. Whether it be from losing his parents , to then losing his Nanna , to Amelia in.. and of course his sister, his best friend and the love of his life. But honestly if there's one thing he learnt from it all... it's that nothing can prepare you for losing a child. The unbelievably emptiness you feel , the ache that never leaves .. all of it is unbearable. That's why when he got a phone call from Liam to say Niall needed him and only him. He just knew... he knew exactly why, he could tell from the tremble in Liam's voice and the exhaustion in his breath. His whole world froze and it was as though he had been transported back five years. Back to when he himself had suffered.

He had woken Louis up immediately, his sobs wracking through his chest as Louis tried his best to sooth him. Both of their children sleeping peacefully in the room next door , blissfully unaware of the tragedy taking place.

Gigi had been on a night call luckily and was just about to head the hospital to clock off when she received Louis' message about taking Harry the hospital with her the word EMERGENCY written in all caps. She immediately arrived , still in the ambulance which Harry is one hundred percent certain is against the rules but right now he had more important issues.

He barely had chance to thank Gigi before he was running as fast as he legs could take. Ignoring the looks he received as he choked on his sobs all the way up to the maternity wing. His heart in absolute pieces at the sight of his best friend's husband curled up in the chair of the waiting area.

"Liam!" He sobbed , rushing over to hug the man close.

"Oh thankyou you're here." Liam sighed in relief, his voice barely audible from the rough sobs still hiccuping from his lungs.
"H-he said you'd know that I wouldn't-shit he knew you'd know because you- I'm sorry H."

Harry knew Liam was sorry because of the trauma currently repeating in the younger mind. Liam knew how this ward brought back memories far too close to home.

"L-Liam I-" he paused , trying his best to stay calm. He couldn't process anything. "I-I can't."

"P-please Haz you have to ok? He doesn't want anyone else near him but you.. I-I'm sorry I-" Liam couldn't finish his sentence before he broke down sobbing.

"Fuck.. Li- i ok.. you need me to call anyone? I-I can call your mum maybe?"

"She's on her way.. Ruth has Kaylom- just please , please help him H." He pointed to the door opposite.

The way Liam said that made Harry's inner heart ache worsen. There was nothing Harry could do and he knew that. There would never be anything he could say that would even come close to helping. But he nodded anyway, carefully walking towards the door Liam had pointed the way too.

He hesitated before he finally opened to door. Holding his breath as he took in the distinct smell of bleach and sterilising fluids. He could see Niall's form curled up on the bed. Not moving an inch even as Harry accidentally allowed the door to slam shut.
