The Story of My Life

"Okay so let me make one thing clear: we're staying here until Liam gets out of the hospital!" Louis carries the bag of clothes upstairs. "I'm sorry Niall, but the security guard said no food upstairs so yeah, I couldn't bring the food."

I shrug. "It's fine." Right now, it seems like the only thing that matters to me is being next to Liam, who is now watching TV. He's so cheerful, that kid, like nothing happened.

"Wow Niall, for once you're not obsessed with food!"

"Contrary to the belief of many, people are more valuable to me than once living things that I consume," I mumble to myself, speaking my mind. Liam suddenly mumbles something out of the blue

"I don't believe that."

"What?"

"That you care more about food than connections with other people." I slowly turn, and find myself meeting his chocolate brown eyes. It doesn't seem like he's joking.

"Don't you think though, that I'm obsessed with food?"

"We all have obsessions," Liam is staring at the TV, but I get the feeling that he's not really watching the movie. "We all have things that we want to do forever. We don't often stop to consider the people around us when we are immersed in this obsession."

I can only stare at Liam in confusion. What's his point?

"Obsessions have a reason for being called 'obsessions.' You feel as if it's a priority above everything else. I admire you for being different from the norm. Everybody says that you're obsessed with food because you're always hungry, but I think it's your metabolism."

He stares intently into my sky blue eyes. "You're not obsessed with food Niall, you're obsessed with connections and people that you meet."

I raise an eyebrow. O. My. Macaroni and cheese. That was deep.

"What makes you think that it's the people I meet I'm obsessed with?" Not that I don't agree with Liam, I'm just making sure that he's not just saying that to please me, like most of the people have done.

"Don't judge me, but I can see the way your eyes sparkle with longing when you see everyone laughing. You laugh along with them, but I'm not all that certain if you feel the same happiness. You fake happiness so that others won't be sad when they see you sad." Liam spoke softly so that the other boys couldn't hear him. He stares into my eyes with a strong gaze, of courage and passion.

"Stay strong, Niall. Stay strong." Liam smiles, and then closes his eyes. His chest stops going up and down, and him face suddenly turns very pale. The boys walk over, and Louis burst into tears. The nurse walks into the room and looks at some computers at the end of the room.

She says, "Liam Payne is officially dead."
