5 minutes before Liam called Louis, everything was falling apart. How? There is the how.

Zayn's condition was as normal as it could be when Harry left, so Liam decided to give Zayn a visit, maybe talk to him a bit, the doctor said it could help a lot.

So Liam geared up, changed his clothes, and walked into Zayn's room, even after going there almost every day, seeing Zayn like that was still shocking to him, it made him stop and stare every time.

He didn't want to talk too much, to tire Zayn with being talkative, he just wanted to tell him about Harry and everything that's happening around them.

"Hey Zayn, I-" how do you talk to a coma patient? How do you start? "I really hope you can hear me, we miss you so much," he closed his eyes, trying to stop the tears, it was useless anyway though.

"Louis is taking care of Sammy as much as he can, I don't think Sammy likes him that much though," he chuckled, "after 3 days Harry- he- he went home, I don't know if I should tell you this or not," he was really doubting what to say, what if he says something and everything goes south?

"he is not in a good shape Zayn," he lost his control, trying to gulp down the sobs? That was not working anymore, "he needs you to come back, he is losing himself, he needs you to fight this," he looked up, taking a deep breath, putting his hand on Zayn's, "please, he needs you to save him, he is slipping off , I don't know him anymore,"

There was a scary silence, as quiet as it could be with machines working to keep Zayn alive, Liam stared at the heart monitor, how it was showing there was still hope, "he passed out today Zayn, he is that weak," Liam shook his head, he needed to talk to someone who cared for Harry, even though he knew Zayn was not gonna answer him.

And that was when the magic happened, or Liam for a split second thought was magic, Zayn's heart rate raise, the monitor was going crazy, Liam was shocked, yet so happy, he was told it was a good sign before he knew it though, he was ushered out of the room, doctors were rushing in, and then, there was a flat line.

"Liam you are scaring me!" Louis said, eyes filled with tears as he closed the bedroom door to go to the kitchen so he won't wake Harry up.

"it is scary Louis! I wish you were here, it was so bad!" Liam kept on rambling, walking back and forth, trying to calm his nerves down.

"babe, come on, what happened?"

"his heart- his heart stopped-"

That's when Louis lost it, he sat down on the kitchen floor, "he is dead?! What are we supposed to do?! We-"

"no! what? They brought him back! It was so scary Louis, the flat line, the electric shocks they gave him, his lifeless body, fuck me, it was the worst thing I had to witness-"

"you are so bad at giving news Liam, seriously, fuck you, how is he now?" Liam didn't take it to his heart, they were both freaking out so it was understandable.

"he is stable, but we are running out of time," Louis let out a breath of relief, he is stable now, that's all that matters.

"What did the doctor say? Tell me what happened exactly?" Louis asked, whipping the tears off his face with the back of his hand.

"I thought it would be a good idea to talk to Zayn, you know- like- to tell him how Harry was-"

"oh my god, Liam, what have you done," Louis was shocked, he never thought Liam could ever be this reckless.

"you didn't see Harry, Louis, I can't let him lose himself like that- I- I didn't know what else I could do!" Liam tried to defend himself, but deep down he knew they might have lost Zayn forever because of what he decided to do. "the doctor said Zayn probably heard me and he was trying to fight his way back, to wake up, but his heart- he couldn't take it-"

"How are we supposed to get a heart for him, Liam, what if we can't save him?"

They both went quiet, and no one had the heart to talk about what might happen, so they hanged up without saying goodbye.

When Harry woke up it was dark outside, Sammy was awake but quiet, "what have I done to get a good boy like you?" Harry smiled, patting Sammy's head, but the second the dog knew he was awake, he barked, trying to get Harry to play with him again, "not now Sammy, I need to go to Zayn," he hugged the pup to his chest, remembering his argument with Zayn over how Sammy looked more like Zayn than Harry, "I miss him, I miss him so much Sammy," he kissed the dog's head and got up, Sammy barked again, "I'll tell him you miss him too."

Louis did everything in his power to stop Harry from leaving, but no, Harry said he needed to see Zayn again, so he left anyway.

Liam already asked the doctor to keep what happened to Zayn between them, and the doctor knew Harry's condition, so he accepted to keep it a secret, it wouldn't hurt anyone.

"you were supposed to stay home till tomorrow Harry," Liam rolled his eyes when he saw his friend making his way towards him.

"I couldn't stay home longer than that, any news?"

Liam was quiet, for a second Harry thought he didn't hear him, so he nudged him, "oh, no, he is stable," he didn't exactly lie, right?

Harry nodded, "you can go home now, I'll stay with him,"

Liam almost didn't want to go home, after what he had done, he hugged Harry, "what was that for?"

"I needed a hug," Liam smiled and left Harry with his thoughts.

Whenever a nurse would ask him how he was, he would just smile and tell them he was fine.

But the truth was, he didn't even want to be fine, he wanted to be where Zayn was, he wanted to suffer like Zayn was, he didn't want the food they would offer him, he didn't want a bed. Honestly if he could just ask the doctors to keep him in an artificial coma till Zayn wakes up he would have.

He felt like half of him was missing.

Mrs. Archer wanted to talk to doctor Horan when she saw Harry coming out of the men's restroom, he had just washed his face, probably to keep himself awake, "Harry?" she called him.

"oh, hi," Harry smiled, it didn't reach his eyes, no dimples whatsoever.

"do you feel better son?"

Harry felt like he's been saying the same thing for the 100th time today, "I'm fine, yeah,"

She couldn't help but ask, "Then why are you still here?" but she regretted asking as soon as she saw how fast Harry's face changed.

When she saw how it's hard for him to share, "let's go to the cafeteria, you don't have to eat anything, but I can see that you need a break,"

Harry didn't say no, cause somehow, she made him feel like he could trust her like she wouldn't push him to do something he didn't want to do.

Harry didn't think twice to offer to pay for what she was buying when she told him to find a table and wait, he was too distracted.

About 5 minutes later, she came back with some strawberry pie and tea, "hope you like what I picked,"

He would much rather some coffee, but he didn't want to be rude so he just thanked her, he didn't want to eat the pie, but the tea would help his nerves.

Probably.

After some moments of silence, Harry spoke up, "my husband, Zayn- he- he is in ICU,"

She felt like she couldn't breathe for a second, his husband? He is what? 30? Almost as young as her son, Harry continued, "his heart- he needs a heart transplant," he sniffed, putting the cup down, pulling his hair out of his face, "we can't find a donor,"

Harry felt so safe that he started crying, "we just got married, I- I can't lose him," he sniffed, whipping his tears, "I just got him back!" then he covered his face with his hands, he let go of his emotions.

She let him cry, and Harry appreciated her for that, he didn't want to hear stuff like, 'don't worry', 'don't cry, It'll be ok' he was sick of those stupid lines.

He had a couple of minutes till he felt calmer, "sorry for this, I usually have better control over my emotions." Harry chuckled trying to lighten up the mood.

She smiled, "it's ok son, drink your tea,  It'll make you feel better." then she tried to pretend like it didn't happen, she started to eat her pie again.

But her mind? Her mind was a mess, all she could think about was how many lives her son, her baby, could save if she would just accept the donation.

Though, How could she accept he was dead when his heart was still pumping strong? Could the heart of a dead mind save a functioning one?
