Anne, Taylor and I let out shrieks of horror.

“What d..d…does that mean? Is my baby dying!” Anne wails

“I’m sorry to tell you this but yes”

“NO! God NO! WHY” Anne sobs as Zayn and Liam hold her.


Louis is holding Taylor as is Niall with me as we all fall apart. Everyone is crying as the doctor tells us that father Wimbley will be up soon to give Harry his last rites and say a prayer. I don’t realize it until I look across the small room. The kids are huddled in a corner crying silently to themselves.

“Oh my god Niall the kids” I say

“C’mere guys” Niall hold his arms out to them.

Thomas, Johannah, Liv, Bryn and Olli all run over and grab Niall tightly.

“Is my daddy going to heaven?” Olivia sobs

“I’m afraid so baby. Your daddy is very sick” Niall explains to her

When the pastor arrives we all go to Harry’s room. He is very pale and hooked up to all sorts of machines. We stand around his bed holding hands.

“Lord we ask that you let this man feel no more pain. We ask that you not let him live in misery any longer. We deeply mourn the life we are losing, may god grant him eternal rest, likewise may god lead the family and friends of this man safely along the paths that lie ahead of them..Amen” Father Wimbley says as he rubs anointing oil on Harry’s forehead and splashes Holy Water over him.

When the Father leaves we all say our good bye to him. We go back to Niall’s house to sleep, if we even can. On the way there the kids pass out, so Niall, Louis and Zayn carry them inside and to their rooms.

“Hi guys how wa…”Sophia trails off

“Here love I need to speak with you” Liam tells her

“Taylor I’m so sorry for ruining your wedding day” Anne says

“Oh no love, you didn’t ruin anything” Taylor hugs her tightly

The boys come back downstairs as Liam and Sophia return. Soph’s face is red and wet with tears. Anne leaves to go up to Harry’s room, as for the rest of us we gather pillows and blankets and have one of our epic One Direction sleep overs.

I leave everyone downstairs as I go to Niall’s old room to grab my favorite pillow and blanket. I can hear Anne on the phone.

“No, I want to take him off tomorrow. Everyone that loves and cares for him are already in this house” she says

I smile a little knowing that it is true. Nobody cares for Harry more than we do. I grab my stuff and go back downstairs to find my spot between Niall and Taylor.

“Congratulations momma” Taylor whispers to me

“Niall, I thought I told you not to tell anyone… who all knows?”

All at the same time everyone else says “Me”

Niall grins at me “What I’m a proud papa” he says

The Next Afternoon:

Niall calls to have a 15 seater van sent to the house. All of us girls sit towards the back while the guys sit towards the front. We reach the hospital at 1:45pm and go straight to Harry’s room in ICU. There are a few nurses and the doctor already there waiting for us. A few of Anne and Robin’s friends are waiting as well, luckily Taylor’s mom and my parents are still in town so they are watching the kids.

“Ok Mrs. Twist are you ready?”

Anne strokes Harry’s head and caresses his cheek before shaking her head yes. The nurses disconnect all of the machines except the heart monitor. There are loud sniffles as the beeping from the machine grows slower and slower.

“We’ll leave you guys alone for now, it won’t be long” the doctor says as they leave

Everyone takes a turn holding Harry’s hand and saying good bye. I wait to go last, I take his hand in mine and kiss it. I run my fingers over his cold head and down the side of his face. I place a long gentle kiss on Harry’s forehead as hot tears fall onto his angelic face. I ponder at the thought that I will never see those beautiful green irises or that handsome smile again. I bend down to whisper in his ear.

“It’s ok Harry, just please be strong and watch over all of us.. be brave Harry, I love you”

I pull away and just look at his face, the machine next to me starts screaming as a steady green line appears on the screen. Anne starts to cry hysterically causing all of us to lose it as well.

“He’s gone Mrs. Twist” the doctor says after coming in to check on Harry and shut off the machine.

Two Days Later:

---

The service was nice we were all there. Taylor’s mom and my parents decided to stay a few extra days to pay their respects to Harry and his family. There was not a big burial. Anne decided to have Harry cremated, after the service was over we all met back at Niall’s big house to have lunch. While everyone was chit chatting downstairs I found Anne up in Harry’s room packing his belongings. She is taking Harry and Haylie back to Holmes Chapel in the morning.

“Please don’t be a stranger. I love you and I love those babies too. Stop by whenever you can darling” She tells me as she gets in the car the next morning.

It’s hard to think of a world without Harry Styles. The only thing we can do is take a big breath and learn to be brave, Harry taught us all what true bravery really is and I will carry that with me for the rest of my existence.
