Yours Sincerely, Louis

"He's Proud of You"

2 days after Louis died

Harry wandered around the house, not sure what to do with his life.

There's no way. He can't be gone. He can't.

Harry didn't want to accept the fact that he was gone. He was in such denial that he didn't even tell anyone. He didn't know who to tell first. He didn't know how to tell them. Would he even be able to get the words out?

Louis died.

He couldn't bring himself to say it. But he had to tell somebody. He picked up the phone and dialed the first number that came to mind. It rang 3 times before she picked up the phone.

"Hey Harry! What's up?" Lottie asked from the other end of the phone.

Silence.

"Harry? Is everything okay?" She asked, concerned this time.

Harry cleared his throat as tears began to form in his eyes.

"Louis's dead" he said, tears streaming down his face.

"W-what?" Lottie choked.

"He killed himself 2 days ago. He's gone Lottie. He's fucking gone" Harry sobbed into the phone.

Lottie couldn't believe what he was saying. Her mom, her sister, now Louis. How was she supposed to tell the twins? They're only 16 they can't handle this much loss at such a young age.

After minutes of complete silence, Harry spoke up.

"He's proud of you, Lottie" Harry said quietly.

"What?" Lottie said, holding back tears.

"He wrote me a final letter and he told me to tell you that he's proud of you. All of you for that matter. You three have gone through so much pain that I can't even begin to imagine. And you know what? Louis will always be with you. He's watching over you along with Jay and Fizzy. He loves you so much Lottie. And he will never stop loving you."

"Thank you, Harry," Lottie said, teary eyed, "but he loves you more than anything. You're his whole world. I want you to know that."

"Thanks Lots"

"No problem Haz"

And with that, he hung up the phone.

He was glad that he finally told someone. But he then realized that he had to break the news to the boys. How was he supposed to tell the boys?

And how are you supposed to tell a 4-year-old boy that his dad committed suicide?

Author Notes:

So I decided to give y'all a somewhat heartwarming chapter bc y'all deserve it after the shit show I gave y'all with the last few chapters. Also, let me know if you want me to write the chapter of Harry telling Freddie or if you want me to leave it out. I tried not to include Freddie as much as possible in this fic for 2 reasons. #1 he's a child and that's weird. And #2 I'm a no stunts larrie so I don't even believe that Louis is a dad but I don't wanna start a whole debate in the comments so if you don't like my opinion then let's just agree to disagree. That being said, if y'all want me to write the Freddie chapter then I will. Anygays, that's it for this chapter. Love you all and remember to TPWK :)
