You Lose A Family Member

Harry:

Your brother had been really sick for a really long time. He was suffering and it pained you to see him in this state. So the day your parents decided to take him off life support, it wasn’t a huge surprise. Your boyfriend Harry had grown close to your brother over the period of time the two of you had been dating. The day came and everybody was surrounding your brother’s bed. His eyes were shut peacefully and the heart monitor slowly died down. When it flat lined, your mom collapsed into your dad’s arms. Harry started crying as well as he pulled you away from the bedside and into his arms. Your tears soaked his shirt but that wasn’t anybody’s main concern. The doctors came in and covered him with a sheet while the four of you left the room and went into the waiting room. Your dad said he was going to take your mom home so she could relax. You just nodded and they left. Tears were still falling down your cheeks but you weren’t really crying. “Come here,” Harry whispered, holding out his arms. You began to sob and walked towards him. His arms enveloped your body. You could feel wetness on your hair, alerting you that he was too crying. So you reached a hand up and ran it through his curls while he rubbed your back. Eventually, you pulled away. “Can we go home?” you whispered, not trusting your voice. Harry nodded and took your hand. The two of you went to your car and began the drive home. It was silent the whole way except for the slight sound when passing cars drove by. Harry grabbed your hand and brought it to his lips, keeping his eyes on the road. “How are you doing?” he asked as he pulled into the driveway. You didn’t say anything, you just shook your head as the tears kept coming. Harry let out a sad sigh and got out of the car. He came over to your side, opened the door and helped you out. When you got inside, you both went upstairs to change. For the rest of the day, you two spent time in bed just holding each other and getting some much needed rest.

Liam: 

It happened while Liam was at the studio. You were just cleaning up and planned on getting some groceries when the phone rang. That was weird. The number was from the local police. You were confused but answered. “Hello?” “Hello is this (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?” the officer asked. “Uh, yes. Yes it is, can I ask why you’re calling?” you asked. “I regret to inform you Miss, but your mother’s body was found this morning.  We need someone to identify the body.” “Well then how do you know it’s my mother?” you asked, panic rising in your voice. “Her identification was in her wallet. If you can come down ASAP, that would be good.” You were so upset. The caller had no sympathy in their voice and they were getting insistent. “I’ll come down when my boyfriend gets home,” you said, trying to be angry but failing because of the shakiness in your voice. You slammed you phone on the table and went into the living room. You sat down on the couch and tried to process what just happened. Your mother was murdered. You were alone. And you didn’t want to bother Liam because you knew how important his job was. It was going to be a long 3 hours. Eventually, you cried yourself to sleep. You woke up when you heard the front door being opened and your name being called. You slowly sat up to see Liam walking over to you. “Hey sleepy,” he chuckled, sitting next to you. You didn’t reply, you just sat up and rubbed your red eyes. Liam looked over and saw it. “Hey, what happened?” he asked, turning his body towards you so you had full attention from him. The tears all came back as you went to explain. “Liam… my mom was found… murdered… and they want me to identify the body,” you cried out. Liam looked at you with pure terror. He immediately threw his arms around you and pulled you in tightly. You cried so hard. It was so painful to even think of what your mom had to go through. “Can you come with me… please Liam? I can’t do this alone.” Liam pulled back. “Oh, baby… of course.” That was all you needed to hear. The two of you drove to the station and sure enough, it was your mom. Liam had to catch your body as it crumpled underneath your weight. He pulled you to the front lobby where you were crying uncontrollably. Liam sat in a chair and held you in his lap. He was crying too because it pained him to see you like this. You clutched onto Liam as he carried you to the car. “We’re going to be okay (Y/N)… I’m here and I’m not leaving.” For the rest of the drive home he held your hand tightly as if he was afraid to lose you the same way.
