Heaven Sent

Wishes Must Be Granted

    Liam stayed with Louis all night and took care of him. The next afternoon they all had to go see Mr. Tomas, Christopher's Lawyer.
   Dressing in slacks and button up pressed dress shirts with ties on, they all piled into Niall's car and headed to the office.
   They weren't sitting in there long when Hector and Anna Marie came out of a room shaking the hand of a well dressed man who looked really important. Anna Marie came up to Louis crying, hugged him tightly, then walked out of the office sobbing loudly. Hector stopped, he also had tears in his eyes, expressed his condolences, and asked how they were doing. The boys all answered him, except Louis who he also just hugged tight then walked out of the office.
    "Hello, you must be Louis." The important looking man offered his hand to Louis, and he shook it. "I am Mr. Scott Tomas. You all must be Liam, Ed, Zayn, and Niall." He asked as he shook their hands as well, getting all their names right. Like with Liam, he seemed to already know who they were. "Please come into the conference room and we will get started in just a minute." 
   That minute seemed like it took forever, and the boys started to get itchy sitting at the table.
    "What are we waiting for? We've been here almost twenty minutes now." Niall asked Mr. Tomas, getting tired of sitting at the conference table not knowing what was going on.
    "There is one more person and their counsel that we are waiting on. It should not be much longer." Mr. Tomas told them, hoping he was right. "Can i get you all something to drink?"
    "You can give us a clue as to why we are here other than being mentioned in a will?" Ed said rather annoyed.
    "I cannot say until everyone mentioned, is present. I am sorry." Was the reply he got.
   None of them had a clue as to what was going on and they sat trying to figure it out when ten minutes later there was a knock on the conference door and Mr. Tomas got up to answer it. He greeted whoever it was and opened the door wider to let them in. The first to walk in was a short bald older man who was dressed like he was out for a legal fight and right behind him was Christopher.
   Louis almost fell out of his chair while the rest of the guys turned whiter than ghosts, in shock.
    "How in the fuck?" Ed was completely confused.
    "Christopher?" Naill asked not believing what he was seeing.
    "YOU!" Zayn yelled at the guy.
    "You're the guys from the bar, aren't you?" Harry said after trying to place Liam and Zayn's faces.
   Lou picked himself up slowly while staring at the tall, long brown haired, green eyed creature now in front of him dressed to the 9's and sharp as fuck looking. He went over to him and at first got in his face to look at him.
    "Can i help you?" Harry taking a step back from him, asked.
   Louis then got extremely pissed off and punched him right in the face. The attorneys came around with the boys to separate them before Lou got in another shot.
   He started screaming at the person he truly thought was Christopher as Niall and Ed held him back. "How could you? You put me through hell thinking you were dead. I fucking watched you die. You son of a bitch!" Louis launched himself again at the guy but was once again caught.
    "Enough!" Mr. Tomas yelled in a booming voice making everyone in the room stop dead and look at him. "Obviously there's been a mistake, or you all were not told about something. Please have a seat so we all can talk about this in a sensible manner."
   Against his will the boys made sure Louis was sat far away from whoever this was. All of them were ready to jump again if Louis did.
    "Okay now that everyone is here, we can begin." Mr. Tomas said, sounding relieved as he took a deep breath.
    "Mr. Louis Tomlinson, are you present?"
    "I am right here." He said seething as he looked at the ghost across from him.
    "Mr. Liam Payne, are you present?"
    "I am."
    "Mr. Zayn Malik, are you present?"
    "I think i am but i am seeing dead people."
    "Mr. Niall Horan, are you present?
    "Present."
    "Mr. Edward Sheeran?"
    "It's Ed and i am right here."
    "Mr. Harry Styles, are you present along with your attorney, Mr. Rodenbaugh."
   The boys all gasped as they heard Harry introduced but did not dare interrupt.
    "We are both present, yes Mr. Tomas." Harry said and gave them all a very smug smile.
    "Okay then we can get this meeting started finally. As you know you all have been called in here today because each of you have been mentioned in my client, Christopher Styes, last will and testament. His first request was for Mr. Tomlinson to watch the video he had prepared a few months back when he revised his will with me. So if we can all please clear the conference room and leave Mr. Tomlinson alone to do so, then we will all reconvene back in the room and get back to the meeting." Mr. Tomas turned the laptop on the table towards Louis and told him whenever he was ready to press the play button, he then left with everyone else and shut the doors.
    Hesitating Louis pushed the play button and Christopher's face showed up smiling back at him from the screen. He was sitting in what looked like the same room and spot Louis was now sitting in.
    "Hey Lou!" Chris laughed and gave him a little wave.
    "Hey Chris!" Louis couldn't help but to smile back at him.
    "Guess you didn't think something like this could happen huh? I know i told you i will be with you forever and i meant it. But since you are watching this, that means i am no longer there physically. I might be a ghost though so please keep walking around the house naked for me okay."
   He gave a little laugh and made Lou smile again. "I will."
   Chris got serious and looked right at the screen like he was actually talking to Louis. "For that my love i am sorry."
    "I miss you, Christopher." Lou said, touching the screen hoping to feel him one last time.
    "I can however be there to make life easier and in a way, you will always remember me. And no, it is not another threesome, well maybe." Chris laughed again and rolled his eyes. "I know we had plans to go too far away places, eat toasted bugs on sticks, and see the most amazing sunsets all over the world and i hope by the time you see this we have done at least some of that. I am sure you have lots of questions by now as well. Some of them you will find out today and others in due time. There are two more videos after this one but i have somethings i need to tell you before you watch them. I wasn't completely honest with you about who i was and what i did for work, thankfully you have always respected my request of not asking me about it either, but i am sure you figured out some of it by now." Christopher settled back and went into his head. As Louis watched with anticipation as to what he was about to be told.
    "First things first though. Have you meant Harry yet? Yeah, kinda freaky right? I'm sure he still looks just like me too but i was always taller. Hopefully he leaves you alone. Hopefully by the time you are watching this we might have started talking again and being brothers but if not i want to warn you about him Louis. If he tries to fight my will there are plans in place and set in stone that he will never be able to get around, therefore he cannot say a word about what my wishes are, nor can he have them changed in any shape or form without your permission. I am telling you now though, please do not trust him or fall for his bullshit. And if he is still the Harry i know, there will be a lot of it, so just take my word for it. You never meant him and i never brought him up before because after my parents died, a few months before me and you meant for the first time, they split everything they owed between Harry and i equally with both of us each getting fifty percent of everything. The bank accounts, the businesses, and the family company. Oh yeah by the way i am beyond loaded, if you never noticed. I was the one buying the companies and running them on the east coast while Harry took and ran the west coast businesses. The rest of the companies i have bought since then have all been mine and run by the family business as well. One i also own fifty percent of too by the way.
    I will get into that more in the next videos, for now i want to ask that you let me be buried under the willows. Everything is taken care of and paid for, you just need to give them a yes or no answer. If not, then Harry is free to take me back and have me buried in the family plot. They were not my family though Louis, you guys were and i would much rather be near people who loved me and allowed me to be a part of them. The brothers i should have had my whole life, not ones who literally wished me dead. Well i guess he got his wish though after all huh? Ironic, isn't it? Like i said earlier though maybe he has changed but i still wish to be buried near you and the place that has given me some many memories. My Home."
