Half a Heart//L.S.

Prologue

Hey I wanted to say thank your for choosing this book! just wanted to tell y'all that english is not my first language and i'm actually not that good at writing, but i thought i could simply give it a try. I'm a huge Larrie stan and simply wanted to write my own kind of Harry and Louis' love story. Like i already said i'm not that good in english, but to write a german story just didn't feel right. So here we are..

By the way, this story gets better in the progress please give it a chance :)

I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes in the whole book, oops.

ps. This is an AU so Louis has/had just one sister (Fizzy) and the others (Lottie, Phoebe, ...) don't exists.

"I swear i'm gonna make you proud." Louis whispered, squeezing the hand of his mum tightly.

Her eyes were closed, and she breathed very slow. He watched her for a few minutes, being ventilated through a tube, her chest rising and falling in slow-motion. He took her wrist in his hand to feel a pulse.

Nothing.

His eyes are slowly filling with tears. He starts to stare at the ceiling, hearing the birds sing outside. He tilts his head towards the window on the left side of the clean and white room. The sky never looked to blue and the sun was shining. He saw a short, little boy with a football running around on the grass, god Louis missed being a kid, having nothing to worry about. 

"Don't cry, you got this" he swears to himself. In slow movements he presses a kiss on his mothers' temple.

"I'll be living one life for the two of us. I love you Mum. Now and forever". He touches her hand one last time before he hears a quiet knock on the hospital room door.

"L-Lou?" a brown haired girl with blue eyes looked through the massive brown door.

"She's gone Fizzy. And i can do nothing. I can just sit here, watching her die. For gods sake i'm the worst son ever, i- i don't know what to do.." he started to panic, tears running down his cheeks.

"I just wish i could see her smile one last time" he whispered under his breath, glancing at his beautiful mother laying next to him.

Fizzy slowly starts walking in his direction, hugging him tightly as she tries to hold back her crying.

"Everything is gonna be okay Louis. Everything is gonna be okay..." She says, squeezing Louis tighter in her embrace. She tilts her head looking into Louis deep blue eyes who were swollen and red.

"I'm always here for you, i promise. We're going through this together, i love you Louis. You're my brother and nothing will ever stop me from supporting you in every way i can. You mean the world for me. I'll never, ever leave you Lou."

She lied.

28 days.

28 days have passed since the other half of his heart was gone.

Since his sister took her last breath. Since she broke her promise. He was a completely mess. His Hair looked chaotic and he had dark circles under his eyes. The blue color of his pupils was almost grey and his skin looked red and irritated, probably because he cried a lot last night.

He barely slept  and therefore it was really hard for him to concentrate. He read a few debts and papers, signed a folder about an old law case and took a few sips from his Yorkshire tea "too much milk" he thought and made a mental note in his head to visit an other tea shop tomorrow.

His thoughts about tea where interrupted by a knock on his door, causing Louis to look up from his desk, that was made out of glass. Still you couldn't see anything underneath because of the tons of paper that where unorganized laying on the surface. His Laptop was on the right side of his table, next to the framed picture of him and his mum when he was 10 years old, holding a big football.

"Come in" he says, his gaze still on the door, made of milky glass. After a few seconds a small, blonde woman stepped into Louis' office, looking at him with her brown eyes like a shy dear. "I didn't wanted to tell you under these circumstances, but I'm pregnant." Louis eyes widened "You are wot...??"
