two ghosts (l.s)

Chapter 12

Harry's POV

"HARRYYYY!" Olivia screeched when I entered the kitchen and got up from her chair so fast that it fell over.

"Hiya Livie girl." I smile as she wraps her small arms around my waist. One thing I know about Olivia is that she doesn't hold grudges and I am thankful for that because I couldn't bear it if she were mad at me still.

"I missed you Hawwy." She says in her baby voice and looks up at me with puppy eyes. I love this girl so much my heart aches for her. I've never told her that though.

"Hey Olivia can I tell you something?" I ask her kneeling down so I can be at the same level as her.

" What is it Harry? " She asks confused. I take her hand and lead her to the living room away from Jason and Charlotte who were looking at us whike cooking in thw kitchen.

"I just wanted to tell you" I take in a breath. " I love you Olivia. I love you so much even though I never say it I do. So effing much. " I say effing so she won't cuss at me for saying a bad word. When I finish I have tears in my eyes and so does she.

"Harry I know. I mean you made it quite obvious." She giggles and I poke her sides " I love you too Harry. Even though I say it all the time" she fake rolls her eyes and crosses her arms in front of her " I love you a lot. You may not think the same but... to me, you are family Harry. You are my brother. " She says and I wipe a tear away from my eyes. She is too pure for this world.

" Come here little one. " I say and pull her into a tight hug. We hug until Jason finaly calls us for dinner. I kiss both her cheeks before taking her hand and we walk into the kitchen.

The next day I get up early exited to see Louis. I quickly get out of bed and get dressed.  I run downstairs and kisss Charlotte, who is sitting in the living room reading a book, on her cheek before running out the front door.

I get to our spot under the willow and sure enough he is laying there his eyes closed soaking up the not so warm winter sunlight that shines through the willow leaves. I lay down next to him and plant a small kiss on his lips.

"Good morning Lou." I say and smile as he opens his dreamy eyes to look at me.

"Good morning curly." He sats and runs a hand through the mess of curls on my head. I laugh at the nickname and close my eyes. In this moment i feel happy. Content for once in my life.
Louis rolls over on his stomach and rests his head on my chest.

"I want to talk to you today." He mumbles into my chest.

" Okay, talk. " I say and look down at him. He sighs and lifts his head.

"I'm sure you have questions about me being... well like this. Dead. " He hesitates a bit at the end. I nod my head and he takes in a deep breath.

"When my car crashed into the tree time stopped. Everything around me froze like if I was under a spell or something. " He frowns." My heart stopped beating, my lungs stopped working my blood stopped moving around in my veins, everything inside me became still. But... I wasn't dead. I could feel, I could here everything happening around me but my heart wasn't beating. I found that I could walk through the flames without getting burnt, but it still hurt. I ran away from the car until I reached the stream. I went in with my clothes and everything to get the smoke and dust off. When I came out I felt exactly like I did before the crash. I felt normal. I decided to wait for someone to pass by with a car so I could get a ride back to the city but hours past and no one showed. I took my phone out and tried to call the cops but my phone was out of battery. It was almost dark when the cops arived and I was so glad that they finally found me. " He lets out a shakey breath and my heart clenches and I know what's coming next. I put my hand on his back and gently run my fingers up and down to calm him.

"I waved at them and got up from where I was sitting a few meters away from the burning car. They didn't see me though so I went over to them. I started to tell them what had happened but to my horror they walked straight past me to the burning car. The fire engines arrived minutes later and put tha fire out. I stood there in shock as the firemen looked around the car for my body. "I am right here" I screamed at them but the didn't hear me I tried waving my hand in front of one's face but the just kept on looking. I was devastated. I was standing right there next to me but they could not see me. I was howling at them but-" his voice breaks and I feel his pain.

" You don't have to continue Louis. It's okay." I tell him and hug him tightly to me.

" You have to know. " He insists. "They left me there and there was nothing I could do about it. I waited for days for my parents to come by and look for me themselves, but they never did. Eventually I gave up and embraced the fact that I would never see them again. I was dead, but I was still there. Like a ghost roaming around the woods, my only company the animals. I was so lonely for years. And then you came. The day I saw you for the first time you looked so scared and I was in complete shock realizing you could see me! I don't know how or why you are the only one, but Harry I am so glad you came inti my life... well death. " He gave a small laugh at the end and I found myself tearing up at his words.

"Louis." I say and lift his chin up so he can look at me. "As scared as I looked that night I am so fucking glad I met you. I've never had a friend, let alone talked to anyone for more than ten years. "

"Friend ?" Louis asks with a sly smile.

" You know what I mean."  I say rolling my eyes at him.

" No actually I don't. You don't go around kissing your friends the way you kissed me last night. " He points out.

" Well then what are we? " I question a smile forming on my lips as he gets up on his elbows to look at me.

"Boyfriends?" He suggests smiling like an idiot now and I realize I'm doing the same.

" Sounds good to me." I bite my lip and he boops our noses together.

"Awesome." Louis smiles and then leans down to kiss me and I am lost in him.
