Nights by your side

CHAPTER 6

Louis was wondering most of the time if Harry would see the note he wrote. She was a bit nervous, sure, but ultimately that was the intention, for Harry to see her.

Harry, therefore, was thinking that he could write more, for him it was a unique moment, he had never had such a private and beautiful moment, much less with someone he liked.

They both had a mutual feeling, they did not have the need to say it to each other, since their simple deeds demonstrated their feelings.

The next day, Niall went to Louis's house, they spent a good time in his room talking and playing until the subject of Harry came up:

- Niall ... can I tell you something?

- Sure, tell me.

- ... Well ... - he was silent for a moment - ... I like someone Niall.

Niall just looked Louis in the eye and said:

- It is not necessary for you to tell me directly, I'm your friend and I know how you are, I've known you for years so ...

Louis looked Niall in the eye:

- So ... if you understand that ... I like ...

- Harry? Sure, you don't know how to hide my friend, the little jokes I've made you are on purpose - Niall said, laughing a little.

- And do you think he notices it? - Louis said, a little nervous.

- Mmmm, you are not as intelligent as I imagined haha, don't you notice that he likes you?

- Me to him? For God's sake Niall, he's an artist, he only hangs out with famous people, do you think he's going to notice me? I'm just a guy who met at a restaurant by chance.

- And do you think he would ask someone else to go out like he did with you? Open your eyes Louis !!! The day you saw him he was running away from fans!

- He said he wanted a friend, nothing more, to spend the days with someone here.

- Ugh, forget it, I won't make you understand, when they are married I want to hear you say that he was right. - Niall said a little serious, since he knew how foolish Louis was.

- Well I like it, until there, nothing has happened or will happen, okay? - Louis said.

- Okay - Niall said, making quotes with his hands - Anyway, you have my support Lou.

- Thanks - Louis said something sarcastic.

They kept playing all day, until nightfall, and Niall knew that Lou would go to 24, so they both left the house, around 10:00 p.m. As they walked at 24, Niall broke the silence:

- Louis ...

- Niall - Louis said laughing.

- You already told Harry about your illness, right?

Louis just kept silent as they kept walking.

- Louis, you must tell him, you can't always lie to him - Niall said a little serious.

- It won't be forever, just how long Harry will be here.

Niall only shook his head in denial, but they kept walking until a car paired up with them, rolling down the window and talking to them:

- Lou !!! Niall! You're going to go to 24, right?

- Harry! Normally you go later, you arrive early - Louis said smiling.

- Come up, it's a little airy.

They got into the car with Harry, Louis in the passenger seat and Niall in the back.

Harry took a small chocolate out of the glove compartment of the car and extended his hand to Louis:

- Here, I brought you a chocolate, I hope you like it, it is filled with cherry, they are my favorites.

Louis took the chocolate and saw as he smiled that it had a small note "Thank you Louis"

- Thank you Harry ... - I remain silent and with my face down.

- Are you okay? ...

- You've given me a lot and I haven't given you anything, that doesn't make me feel good about me ... - Louis was interrupted by Harry.

- Don't even apologize, you have given me a lot of what other people have not been able to give me. - Harry said making eye contact with Louis.

"Mmmm Mmmm" Niall cleared his throat.

- Ah, Niall, I didn't know you were coming, I'm sorry, I owe you a chocolate hehe - Harry said.

- Ah no no don't worry, but I'm hungry, can we go now?

"Yes, of course" Harry started the car, while Louis just smiled.

On the way, the three of them were silent, until Louis saw that Harry was carrying his notebook, with the bookmark in another place.

- Harry ...

- Yes Lou?

- What ... do you use your notebook so often?

Harry made a strange face to which he replied - Well, I use it every day, right now that I'm here I use it when I'm alone, I mean, when I'm not with you haha.

- And do you use it in order?

- huh? - Said Harry.

- Nothing, forget it, forget it.

Harry just shook his head in confusion, but a thought ran through his mind "what if Louis saw what I wrote that time?

Anyway, they reached 24 and the 3 sat at the table known as "Louis's table." They kept talking until it was almost midnight, but before anyone noticed the time, Niall got a call, so he got up from the table to answer it. When he returned from the call he said:

- I'm sorry guys, my mom is coming to pick me up, I don't think it will be late, I was already close, I say goodbye, Louis, see you tomorrow !! Harry, well I don't know when I see you but we will see you! While my mom arrives I will go to pay for my dinner.

- See you tomorrow Niall! - Louis said.

- See you! - Said Harry.

The two of them were left alone at the table, with a slightly awkward silence, until Harry broke it and said:

- Louis, can I tell you something?

- Yes tell me ...

- First of all, I want you to know that what I'm going to tell you had never happened to me, so I'm taking a little risk ...

- Tell me Harry, trust me.

- I ... - Louis's cell phone rang.

- Ahhhh no, it's my mom, let me answer. - Louis quickly turned to the outside and lowered his head - Here I go mom - He hung up the cell phone.

- Has your mother arrived for you, right? - Said Harry, a little discouraged.

- Yes, I'm so sorry Harry, I'm really sorry, do you think you can continue with this topic tomorrow? Actually, I still don't know what it is, but tomorrow I promise, yes? sure, if you can.

- If you don't worry, there will be more time tomorrow, it's Sunday so I can get there earlier.

- Do you think it is at 8:00 p.m.? - Louis said.

- Yes yes, it's perfect - Harry said as he stared at Louis, until he hugged him - See you tomorrow - he said softly and stroking his head.

They broke up, and Louis paid for his dinner, and he went to his mom's car.

Harry just watched him go, he sighed and then Hiram approached him and said:

- Oh Harry, I don't know you well but, that sigh said everything, you should tell him you know, life is short.

- I just wait for the right moment ...

- Well, maybe it's not a matter of the right time, sometimes it can be too late when you want to tell him ...
