Harry stared at the road ahead of him, deep in thought. He silently watched the cars pass by. Different kinds and colors of cars blurred his vision. Some passed by too fast to even be recognized.
Liam drove at a steady pace. He occasionally would glance at Harry to see how he's holding up. He hasn't said a word after their little conversation. He would only engage in small head nods.
"B-but I killed him.... " was all that Harry could say. Liam's face scrunched up as he wiped away the fallen tears.
"You killed him? That's impossible!"
"I- I did...and I feel really bad Liam! I love him! He tried to murder me, what else was I supposed to do? Besides...he fucking stalked me for god knows how long, " Harry wept. He buried his face into his sweaty palms.
"If I could go back in time and fix my decision, I would. I miss Zayn so much and it hurts to know that it's my fault for his death, " Harry mumbled sadly.
Liam shook his head with wide eyes. This was scientifically impossible. You can't kill someone twice. Life didn't work that way.
"If I didn't kill him...and you didn't kill him...then, who did?" Liam questioned horrified. Harry swallowed thickly with a shake of his head.
Zayn couldn't be alive, he couldn't be. No matter how much Harry wished that he was.
"Zayn isn't dead..." Harry whispered.
He was alive. Harry has a chance with him now. A real chance with him. But what if Zayn is the same old Zayn. He can't possibly change within a day.
"When did you kill him?" Harry dared to ask.
He looked up into Liam's warm brown eyes. Liam gave Harry a small smile before taking a shaky breath.
"A few days after Halloween; yesterday actually. He- he told me that he killed Louis. I snapped and murdered him right there, " Liam explained, ashamed of himself for killing someone and getting away with it.
Harry killed Zayn a few days after Halloween.
"Liam-"
"-We shouldn't talk about this right here. I'll call the nurse and see if you can leave, you're coming to my place. "
Harry obliged. So many thoughts were going through his head. So many questions that needed answers. So many theories that needed confirmation.
"Harry?"
"Hm?"
"We're here."
Harry unbuckled his seatbelt and opened up the car door. He stared at the front of Liam's house. Different memories popped into his head.
The moments here with Zayn, them making out in Liam's driveway, the cuddling that would sometimes happen in Liam's bed.
Harry felt warm liquid running down his face. He quickly swiped away the single tear then took a step away from Liam's house. "Your friend is sick! But I still love him!" Harry choked out.
Liam gave Harry a sympathetic smile. He put a reassuring hand on the taller boy's shoulder and gently rubbed it. He then guided Harry into the house, walking at Harry's speed.

"So..." Liam folded his fingers together on the small table, "when did you kill Zayn again?"
Harry looked down at the warm cup of tea placed in front of himself. He couldn't have this conversation with Liam. Liam could possibly be lying, and trying to get information about Zayn's death. Liam was too sweet to kill someone, let alone his best friend.
The younger male remained silent, running his fingers along the teacup. Liam raised his eyebrow at Harry. He understands that Harry is grieving right now, but he could at least speak.
"Yesterday."
"When yesterday?" Liam asked, leaning forward.
"A- around ten o'clock. I fell asleep at 9:17 and woke up around ten. He- he broke into my house and tried to murder me because I supposedly made his heart hurt. I was only defending myself, " Harry whimpered.
His eyes burned with fresh hot tears. This time, he let them fall freely. There was no point in trying to act tough now.
"Impossible. I killed him at eight something..." Liam stated with a frown.
Harry sat there thinking how Liam was so monotone. They were best mates. He's sure that if he killed Louis, he would be sad too.
"Then maybe...maybe Zayn isn't dead," Liam spoke quietly. Harry swallowed and shook his head. What doesn't make sense is that it's impossible to be killed twice. Maybe Zayn was alive.
