It's just a phase
Zayn's POV
I started to get frustrated. Liam, Niall and Husky all seemed extremely down. It disturbed me. Niall usually always looked on the positive side, but there didn't seem to be one, whatever the problem was. The other guys and I were determined to find out what was wrong. Louis especially. We called the others into the lounge room. Only Niall and Liam came down.
'Where's Husky?'
'In her room.'
'Can she come down?'
'No.'
'Any particular reason for that?'
'Yes.'
'Can you tell us why?'
'Because she knows what you're going to ask.'
'Oh.'
There was a long and awkward silence. Harry broke it.
'Guys, what's wrong?'
Niall looked down and Liam bit his lip. I raised an eyebrow.
'Liam, Husky wouldn't want them to know. But maybe they should,' Niall whispered cautiously. Liam nodded. He looked at us.
'Go up there and listen at her door. You might be able to work it out for yourselves.' With that, he stood up and headed for his room, Niall close at his heel. Harry and I stared at each other, and Louis raced for the stairs, in a rush to get to Husky's room. We followed quickly. Louis pressed his ear to the door, and Harry and I pressed our ears to the crack between the door and the wall. I only hear music. Then I started to hear the words.
Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss-Whiskey Lullaby
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night
[1st Chorus]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
[2nd Chorus]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
I started to cry. The song was sad and realistic. But it didn't give any clues into the problem. Harry looked at me with teary eyes. It surprised me. He wasn't usually the emotional type. I suddenly felt a pang of realisation. It wasn't just a sad song.
It was a suicide song.
Louis' POV
I lay on the ground and let the tears flow. I knew what was wrong. Husky was suicidal. I slammed my fist against the floor. Harry leaned against the wall and hid his head between his knees. Zayn ran downstairs. Niall came out of Liams room and rubbed my back. I wiped away all the tears that I could and looked up. Husky's door was still shut. I stood up and placed my hand over the wooden handle. I opened slowly, but it still let out a low squeak. I flinched at the noise but continued to push it open. Husky was sprawled across her bed, her phone playing music on replay. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open. I one hand she had a small notepad. I gently pulled it from her hand and left the room, shutting the door as quietly as possible. I sat next to Zayn on the couch and flipped open the note book. I felt the couch rise and I saw that Liam was sitting beside me. Niall and Harry were standing behind the couch, leaning over my shoulders to get a look at what the notebook said.
You cant hurt me
You cant break what's already broken
I loved you so much
But my heart has already spoken
I gave it all for you
But you watched me burn
I hid away the scars
And that's just how I learn
The blade I keep
The gun I load
Pill bottle open
A deadly mode
Never again
To see the light
Never again
I lost the fight
I didn't mean to hurt you
But my pain wouldn't end
I didn't mean to end like this
With no one to depend
You told me you were there
But I couldn't see you
You told me that you care
But you knew nothing too
I sobbed. My Husky made this. It proved her pain. It proved that we were too delirious to realise. I rocked back and forth, being comforted by Liam, who was also in tears. After a good cry I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. The boys and I quickly wiped away our tears and ran into the kitchen, pretending to be busy with dinner. Harry and Zayn sat at the bench and pretending to be in a very interesting argument. Husky came down and rubbed her eyes, letting out a cute quiet yawn. She saw us and smiled, but it was obviously forced. She turned and went back to her room. We stared after her. Niall shook his head. 'She knows.' Liam gave Niall a worried look and walked upstairs. Harry turned to us. 'I don't think its all as bad as it seems. It's just a phase.' I looked at him in disbelief. A phase. What a load of shit. Nobody is supposed to go through that. And sometimes it doesn't end. A phase does. Niall balled his hands into fists. 'It gets worse before it gets better,' he whispered, low and menacing, and then storming off. Harry turned. 'My girlfriend and I are going out tonight, so you wont need to cook for us.' I nodded, and turned back to peeling potatoes. I had a bad feeling about his girlfriend. I don't know why I just did.
