Fool If You Think It's Over.

And I don't mean to be selfish
But my heart breaks every time
That I see you smile
'Cause I know that it's not me
Who brings it out of you anymore

You found somebody new
You put me in the past
I don't even know if our memories will last
But If By Chance it doesn't work out with him
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

It was a little after four in the afternoon on a very rainy Friday morning when Louis got the call that changed his life forever. Or at least it changed life as he knew it so far.

He had just come in through his back door after having done some food shopping down at Waitrose, sodden wet from the rain and cursing the miserable London weather, struggling with the bags as he tried to push Clifford away from welcoming him back by jumping on him and covering his face with licks when his mobile started ringing and vibrating in the pocket of his sweats.

'Down Cliff come on lad gimmie a moment,' he told the over excited dog as he tried to move Cliff off him. He managed to close the door with his foot, dump the grocery bags on the kitchen counter and fish out his phone. As he went to swipe the phone to answer the call, he was greatly surprised to see that it was Harry calling him. Harry? He swiped his phone.

'Harry,' Louis said into the phone not bothering to hide the smile in his tone or the surprise.

'Louis hi,' Harry said cheerfully and Louis smiled wider. Harry was his best of the past ten years. They had met during their audition for the X Factor and they had hit it off immediately. When Simon Cowell had put them together in a boy band, their friendship blossomed and grew and they had been tight ever since. For the first few years, they had been in a secret relationship but stressful circumstances had pulled them apart. Still, they had by some miracle managed to remain friends.

'Haz how are you?' Louis asked as he pulled out a chair and sat at the kitchen table. Since they had decided on taking a hiatus from the band five years ago, all five of them had drifted apart more than career wise. At first, they all had tried to keep in touch with each other as much as possible except Zayn of course but they had all made career moves taking on their solo careers and in between recording and releasing new albums, promos and touring, there wasn't much time left for them to meet up as much as they wanted to. Not to mention having kids took up the rest of any free time that was left. Now sitting in his kitchen on this rainy morning, Louis realized that he had missed Harry a lot.

'I'm good Lou,' Harry said. 'How are you? It's been a while since we last spoke.' Louis grinned.

'Yeah I'm sorry about that. Things just keep popping up you know how it is and I've been working on my album,' he said softly.

'Yeah?' Harry asked and Louis could detect the excitement in his voice. Harry had always been incredibly supportive of him and his music and after the hiatus started, Harry had encouraged him to release solo material. 'I'm so happy to hear that Lou. How's it coming along?' Louis smiled to himself when he heard Harry call him Lou.

'Eh still in the early stages you know, early as in the writing process and putting down melodies. You know how it is. The whole process takes time. Not sure where I'm going with it yet but I found a good team of people to work with even though other stuff keeps getting in the way like legal shit that seems to keep putting me off from releasing it.' Harry caught a hint of frustration in Louis' voice. He knew well enough about his legal battles.
