“Where can I find Louis Tomlinson?” Harry asked the nurse at the front desk at St. John’s Hospital. The woman got up and led him quickly down the hall, around two corners and down another dark hallway, until they finally reached the room Louis was in. Harry slowly walked in, looking around, shutting the door behind him. He dragged his feet towards the hospital bed, staring at Louis with a blank face, hands in his pockets. Louis was unconscious. He got on his knees, reaching his hand over to gently brush the hair out of his pale face, tears starting to swell up in his eyes.
“You can’t leave me, please Lou..” Harry held tight onto Louis’ lifeless hand. “We still have to get married, have kids, start a whole new life.. it’s too soon.. please..” Tears then stream down his face. He’s breathing hard, his heart racing too fast.
“I know you can’t hear me, but please just don’t leave, not now..” Harry looks down, biting his lip hard until it bleeds.
“I shouldn’t have shouted at you, Lou. It’s all my fault.. if it meant losing you I wouldn’t have done anything.. please forgive me.” Harry rests his forehead on Louis’ hand, his entire body shaking.
As he sits there, he can’t stop thinking about how much he loves him. He wants him to wake up and have everything be alright, and go home and watch movies like they always did. But something in his mind told him to stop wishing, that things wouldn’t turn out the way he wanted.
Soon a nurse walks in, a small radio-like thing beeping uncontrollably on her belt.
“I’m sorry, but you need to leave.” She said fast, needing to get to Louis. Harry looks at her, speechless.
“I-I can’t leave h-him.. please l-let me stay..” Harry says quietly. But it’s too late, the nurse stands him up, separates him from Louis’ hand and guides him out with force.
With tears still coming down on his cheeks, Harry stays right next to Louis’ door the whole time, waiting for the nurse to come out and tell him it was okay if he saw Louis again. But then he sees a series of doctors and baskets with needles and bags in their arms hurry down the hall. They race into the room, slamming the door behind them. Harry buries his face in his hands as his heart starts racing again.
“Please let him be alright..” He whispers to himself over and over. He tries to believe it as much as possible, but he can’t. A feeling of fear overwhelms him all of a sudden.
Soon the doctors come out, followed by the nurse. She looks at him with red, puffy eyes, like she had been crying.
“Listen, Harry, he’s awake, but he won’t be for long. He requested that he sees you before he goes.” Harry stands up immediately, his eyes widened.
“What do you mean before he goes?” Harry asks her.
All she does is purse her lips and looks at him right in the eyes, soon walking away. Harry enters the room, shutting the door behind him.
“Louis..” Harry looks at him, then at the tall meter that has his heart beat shown. It’s dark in the room, also very hot. As he touches Louis’ icy cold skin, he lets the tears fall one more time.
“Hello Harry,” Louis says weak, smiling. “Please don’t cry, I’m going to be fine..”
“That’s the thing, Lou, you’re not going to be fine..” He grabs a chair as he sits next to his loved one.
“What do you mean?” Louis raises an eyebrow.
“Their going to let you go soon.” Harry says, sniffling, looking down.
“Go where? Home?” Louis asks him. Harry chuckles, trying to forget all of the pain he was in.
“Something like that.” As he holds Louis’ hand one more time, he brings it up to his warm cheek.
“I want you to know that I love you and.. and that I’m sorry I caused all of this.. you’ve really changed my life. You made me one of the happiest people on this earth. I will never forget you, Louis Tomlinson.” Harry whispers in his ear. Louis breathes harder, his hand shaking. It’s almost time. As Harry leans down to kiss him, Louis can feel his hot breath on his neck.
“And I’ll never forget you, Harry Styles. I love you too..” He whispers back as he takes his last few breaths.
“I’ll see you again, soon. Goodbye, love.” Harry says shakily. Louis smiles, closing his eyes. Harry reaches Louis’ lips, kissing them gently, only to hear the heart beat monitor makes a faint, long beeping sound, with their lips still touching. Louis was gone.
Harry separates from him. He gets up, looking at him one last time. He takes a deep breath. As he heads out the door, he looks back. Memories fill his mind. As he stares at him, he heads back quickly, taking out a picture that was in his pocket of the two of them. He wraps it in Louis’ hand, then leaning down to kiss him on the forehead.
“I love you so much, Boo Bear.”
