Perfect
Ch.6
-6 months earlier-
I woke up at 3 am. I got up to get a drink, it's not like I was gonna be able to go back to sleep anyway.
The light in Harry's room was off, but I knew he wasn't sleeping. He hasn't been sleeping much, lately. I knocked lightly on the door and opened it.
Harry was sitting in the corner of his room crying with a knife at his wrist. I stood there in shock for half of a second, then ran towards him. I grabbed for the knife. "NO!" Harry protested, much to my surprise. He say there with the knife at his wrist again. His wrist was already bleeding, badly. He had made at least 4 cuts already. "Harry, give me the knife." I said, trying to keep calm. "No!" he yelled. He looked terrified. He looked like if I took the knife from his hands the world would end. "Harry, give me the knife right now!" I said. I started getting scared when I saw the spilt bottle of pills by his feet.
"NO, ZAYN!" he yelled back at me. I managed to grab the knife. Harry immediately grabbed for it. I threw it to the other side of the room and Harry started towards it. I grabbed him and he fell into my arms, bawling. His words were mixed in with desperate sobs. I could still hear every word. "NO! No, no, no, no, no... I want to die... I want to die." he pleaded. The words shot through me. Each one sending a new pain through my chest.
"Harry, you don't want to die." I tried to reason with him. "Yes, I do... She... She loves you. And you love her..." he said through his tears. I was confused. "Who are you talking about, Harry?" I did my best at asking him. I was shaking. I could feel his tears seeping through my shirt. I could see the blood flowing off his wrist.
"Lola... And I love her..." I didn't know what to say. I did have feelings for Lola, but she didn't for me. Right?
Harry looked up into my eyes and tried to hold back a few tears. "Zayn...please just give me the knife...let me do this. I...I can't..." he started to cry, again. "Harry... Harry calm down." I said, trying to comfort him. "But I can't calm down Zayn! I can't! I... I love her... I want her with me every second of the day. And it won't be long before you two get together..." I was so dumbstruck. Not only was I confused on the fact that Harry was in love with her, but that he thought she loved me.
"Harry. You know I have feelings for her, but if you care about her so much... I'll put those feelings to the side." I started. I was in love with Lola. I had been since the moment I met her, but Harry was my best mate. If Harry loved her, then I'd just have to get over myself.
Harry looked into my eyes. His eyes were red and puffy. He was sitting there, in my arms, broken and scared. "Zayn, you...you love her though..." he said. Even when he was on the verge of killing himself over something, he was still so considerate.
"I do love her. But, she obviously means the world to you. And if you love her, then I'll back off. I don't wanna see you get hurt." I said. He looked at me and then at his wrists. They were still bleeding quite bad. "Thank you..." his words were barley audible.
I cleaned out and wrapped Harry's wrist. I helped him To his bed, and noticed the pills again. "Did you take any of these?" I said carefully. He looked down and said "A knife seemed easier...the damn bottle wouldn't open..." My heart broke all over again at those words.
I grabbed the knife and said goodnight. I started to walk towards the door when Harry said "Zayn?" I turned back, "Yeah?" "Can you not tell anyone about this? Please. I don't want everyone to get worried... And she doesn't know I love her..."
After only a moments hesitation, I said "Of course, Hazza." "Thanks...Can you stay here until I fall asleep? I don't want to do anything stupid again." he said somewhat timidly. I saw the scared look in his eyes and agreed.
By around 4:30 he was asleep. I took the knife and walked across the hall to my room. I put the knife under my mattress and sighed.
"That's it then," I said under my breath.
