How sexy does Harry look in the gif? (;

( Harry's POV )

"See you tomorrow." I let go of him and give him a thumbs up.

He gives me a thumbs up too. "Yeah, see you tomorrow!" He smiles and I wave goodbye and head inside.

I go upstairs and to my room. I take out the papers from my back pocket and sit on my bed. I cross my legs and begin reading his song. I been looking forward for this all night.

Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding.
Fall into your sunlight.
The future's open wide, beyond believing.
To know why, hope dies.
Losing what was found, a world so hollow.
Suspended in a compromise.
The silence of this sound, is soon to follow.
Somehow, sundown.

And finding answers.
Is forgetting all of the questions we called home.
Passing the graves of the unknown.

As reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading.
Illusions of the sunlight.
And a reflection of a lie, will keep me waiting.
With love gone, for so long.

Hmm this is really really good so far. Sounds like a tragic love song. Something sad and honest. I hope I can help him with this. I lean against the bed and reach for the nightstand. I grab my notebook and pen and begin writing down notes on it.

~ What type of rhythm do you want for it?

~ How long do you want the song to be?

~ Tempo and melody

I write some couple of extra notes. I wonder if this song has some meaning behind it. Did he fall in love with someone before? Perhaps I should talk to Mr Payne. He knows about Louis and how he is with his condition. I'll go to the church tomorrow, since its saturday, and see if he's there.

The next day I head to the church in the morning. I still have to see Louis at the train station. Hopefully I can talk to Mr Payne about him. I hope he doesn't tell me to stop seeing him. The way he looked at me yesterday at the bakery, he looked furious and in disbelief.

I head inside the church and Mr Payne is there, standing in the middle along the aisle. "Mr Payne?" He turns around and sees me walking towards him.

"Hello Harry. What can I help you with today?" He takes a seat on the bench next to him. I sit beside him. "I was wondering if we could talk about Louis, if it's okay?" I ask.

"Did you read Louis' song?" He asks. Oh, I guess he knew he wanted to write a song. I thought he was keeping it a secret from him.

I nod. "Yes, it's so intense and tragic. I don't see how Louis can write something so..." I stop. I don't really know how to describe it. It was really something else.

"What you have to understand is that writing is a means of survival for Louis." He says while pinching the top of his nose.

"A survival?" I look at him confused.

He lets out a big sigh. "He's conveying an image to a third party. His past self and future self are two different people. His diary is a means to connect to the future before he disappears. How accurately can he portray himself to another entity? Just like a artist. Louis' ability to write originates from the same creative place."

I try to understand what he is saying but something about it doesn't make sense. "But I don't understand how he could develop an ability like that without a memory." I mean his 13 hour memory interferes with all this.

"Maybe he's naturally gifted. Maybe his body retains something even if his mind doesn't. Maybe it's because he believes that his life depends on telling his story. He's come this far. Let's pray that he finishes what he set out to do." I sit there and try to comprehend everything. All these "Maybes". I hope I can understand Louis. Nobody will ever know what he's going threw. Mr Payne stands up and turns to leave. He stops halfway through the church. "Is that all Harry?" He asks, not turning around to look at me.

I turn around in my seat. "Who are you, Mr Payne?" I know this is random but this is something I always wanted to ask him.

"Who am I?" He turns around to look at me this time.

"What do you do for a living? Why are you always at this church?" I stand up and ask him with an annoyed tone in my voice.

"I was waiting for someone." He says calmly and turns back around and continues to walk down.

"You were waiting?" Who's he waiting for? He told me he was waiting for someone last time I came here. Who could he be waiting for? Is it a love one? A friend maybe?

He stops at the door. He turns around quickly and says "I'm neither a priest or a counselor. But I will give you one piece of advice. DONT. GET. INVOLVE. WITH. LOUIS." He says the last sentence sternly and walks out, closing the door behind him.

I stand there almost heart broken. Not really heart broken because I don't really have that sort of feelings for him yet. But why? Why doesn't he want me to get involve with Louis? I already know about his condition, so...what else is there to know. It's not like I'm using Louis or something. I came here looking for answers but instead I got more questions. What am I going to do now? One thing is for sure. I'm not going to stop seeing Louis.
