AN: This date is very important to me. It's the day my dad died. I was about the age of Lottie so in this chapter, her character is based on me.

Harry's POV
We are all eating breakfast together. Well, not all. Dan left really early today to go to Jay so Louis and I are getting the little ones ready for school. It is only three days until Louis's first solo performance at the X-Factor final
Today is the day of the school picknick. We are all excited for Lottie since during the picknick is also her graduation from elementary school.
We decided that Gemma, Louis and I will be accompanying the girls and Ernest during the picknick since Dan wants to stay with Jay. Jay has gotten pretty bad the past week so we too, will all go to Jay after the picknick. Lottie, Fizzie, Phoebe and Daisy still have school in the morning so we will only be joining them at 13.00.
Louis, Gemma and I are preparing our dishes for the potluck picknick. Since we will be there with nine people from which seven of us will be eating, we have to bring our fair share of food. Gemma and Louis are making several kinds of pasta salad while I'm making my famous chocolate brownies. I'm baking a lot but I'm will let one tray at home to take to Jay afterwards.
We are all in the car on our way to Jay and Dan. Earlier during the graduation Lottie's class came one by one down the stairs in t-shirts that were like dresses to them. I'm sure they would fit Louis perfectly. They all had a t-shirt with a picture from their class on it. When they came at the bottom, they all got a mug with the logo of the school on it.
After that, they all gathered at one of the walls of the school playground and each spray-painted their template they made during art class with graffiti on the wall. Lottie had made a peace symbol template and one of her best-friends one of a horse. After everyone was done, the picknick officially started.
Jay's POV
The kids have arrived and we are eating the brownies Harry baked earlier today. They are delicious but I was only able to eat a few bites. It costs a lot of energy to swallow. I don't think I have much time left.
The kids were talking about the picknick and about how Lottie was a graffiti artist now because she had spray-painted on the wall. They showed Dan and I the video of Lottie coming down the stairs and accepting the mug and her diploma. She was still wearing the t-shirt which reached until her knees.
It is almost time for dinner and the kids really wanted to go to Nando's but Louis wanted to stay a little longer with me.
So, Dan took everyone except for Louis to Nando's and Louis and I are cuddling in me. I think he knows, it's almost time for me.
Louis and I eat some leftover pasta salad from the picknick. It is really good but it's difficult to swallow.
After we ate Louis and I cuddled again in my hospital bed. My eyes are slowly closing. I really like spending time like this with him. It's how it all started. Louis' dad didn't bother to come to the hospital with me when I was about to give birth and he left the day Louis and I were coming home so it was just Louis and I and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
'We'll end just like we started. Just you and me and no one else. I will hold you where my heart is. One life for the two of us' I say just before my eyes close completely and a forever darkness comes over me.
Louis' POV
'We'll end just like we started. Just you and me and no one else. I will hold you where my heart is. One life for the two of us.' Mom says before closing her eyes and I know what she meant. I wish it was me instead. I start crying and I keep hugging her.
Lottie's POV
Phoebe and Daisy already went to bed a few hours ago, Fizzy is just went to bed, I am watching TV with Harry and Dan is on the phone in the kitchen. Louis isn't here yet because he wanted to stay a little longer with mom.
Suddenly, Dan comes back in the living room with tears in his eyes.
'Hey, can I talk you two for a second?' Dan asks.
'What is it?' I ask.
'Well, Louis just called. Mom just went to heaven. Would you like to go there to say goodbye?'
It is like my brain isn't functioning. I can't process anything.
'No, I want to stay here. Are you going?'
'Yeah, Harry can you come with me? Louis asked for you.'
'I want to, but I don't think it is a good idea to leave Lots alone right now. I can ask Gemma to come here while we go pick up Louis. She offered to help here anytime we needed her.' Harry answers.
'That would be a huge help. I would like to go to them as soon as possible.' Dan says.
'Okay, I will call her now.' Harry says and he goes to the kitchen to call.
I feel useless. It's like I'm paralyzed and I can't feel anything. The only thing I can focus on is the TV.
I'm lying-in bed. I'm supposed to be sleeping but I can't. I think it is around 22.00 but I'm not sure. The door of mom and Dan's room is open and so is their window that looks over the garden.
I can hear Dan, Louis, Harry and Gemma talking down in the garden so I go downstairs. When I open the garden door, I see Louis and Harry in one of the hammocks, Dan in one and Gemma in the third one.
Suddenly my mind begins to process everything. Mom is never coming back home. I'm never gonna see her again. I go Dan, sit on his lap and I begin to cry in his shoulder. Half an hour later, I'm so emotionally drained that Dan carries me upstairs to my room. Tomorrow we will tell all the others.
Louis' POV
Harry is already in bed. Before I'm gonna lay next to him, I take my notebook and write the few sentences down mom said right before she closed her eyes forever.
We'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I will hold you where my heart is
One life for the two of us
