All These Smiles That I'm Faking - Larry Stylinson

Chapter 13 - Harry POV

I woke up when something tickled my nose lightly. I opened my eyes slowly to see caramel brown hair  right in face. I chuckled lightly realizing it was Louis'. He had fallen asleep rather early with his head on my shoulder. After him, Niall also dozed off. I assume that Liam, Zayn and I also drifted off somewhere between the movie because the television was on and everyone was asleep in their former positions. I checked the time - it was 6am on a Sunday morning. There is no way the other lads will wake up before 9. I decided that now would be a good time to slip out to visit Gemma's grave. That way I have the remaining day free to hang out with the boys. I cleaned myself up slightly, pulled on my coat and shoes and visited Gemma. I walked to the cemetery where Gemma was buried. I climbed through the bushes and over the hill where Louis and I had come a few days ago. 

I walked to the cemetery and headed to Gemma's grave. The path was so familiar to me and I can't count the number of times I've been here. I sat on the ground in front of Gemma's grave not caring that the ground was muddy. I sat in silence and let a few tears slip. "Gems I wish you were here. You would be proud. I- I've got myself a boyfriend." I let out a chuckle and reminisced the times Gemma and I would discuss good-looking guys and the way I would tease her when she got a boyfriend. I continued describing everything to her, "My boyfriend is Louis - yes he's the guy I was constantly blabbering about how cute he is and everything. Gems I love him. I've never felt this way before and it's so scary but enthralling. You were in love with your boyfriend, weren't you?  You know I wish that you could be alive, just for a few moments. I wish you could have stayed just a little longer so I could thank you. I wish you could have met Louis. You would have loved him for sure - of course like a brother - I wouldn't let you love him more than that. Gemma you would adore him. He's so like you it's frightening. He is outgoing funny and social but just like you he gave up everything for me. Gemma you know Mum will be joining you soon. Trust me I would be too, if it were not for Louis. So, so many times I wanted to die Gems, that's when he was there for me. He has heard all the songs I've ever written and he almost knows me better than I know myself. It's amazing Gems. I warmed up to him the moment I met him and though I've told you this millions of times, it never fails to amaze me. It was the first time I had ever seen him Gem but I still shook his hand a spoke a bit. 

Gems, I love him and he loves me and I'm shocked by how sudden it all was but it was perfect and he treats me so lovingly Gems it makes me want to cry. I remember whenever, I told you I felt cursed, you would tell me that I'm not. You'd say that whatever bad is happening to me, will one day pay off. One day it'll get better. I think today is the day. Nothing is perfect - Mum's on her death bed, you're gone, Louis and I have just started dating, we're both teacher's and it'll be hard to hide our relationship but Gem's I think today is the day that everything is going to start getting good. Now I'm pretty sure you'll want the cheesy details of how we began dating and about our first date so here goes." I sat for ages telling Gemma about the last couple of days going over every detail. When I was done I felt content and though Gemma wasn't actually here, it was easy to imagine she was. And if there is a place called heaven and she could hear me, she'd be happy because she wanted me to be happy and I finally was thanks to my angel. My Louis.

If Louis never came along and saved me, I would still be faking my smiles and my dimples would be hidden. But Louis came in my life and brightened my world. He kept to his promise  - He never let my dimples disappear. This was just the start of relationship but I can tell we will be together forever.

So... I swear I didn't intend for the book to be so short... I was going to a few more chapters with Anne's death but this ending is so beautiful I don't want to tarnish it...Besides I have a brilliant new story idea and I have it all planned out. For this book I will add an epilogue with different periods of life but it'll be just one long chapter... Please comment and vote.... It will make my day <3
