Being soulmates with someone is something that cannot be described with words. Their love and bond are meant to be permanent and never broken.
Well, most of the time.
When Harry and Louis discovered they were soulmates, all was right with the world. They built a life together where they looked forward to their future; full of excitement, happiness, and most importantly, love.
However, sometimes life gets in the way and distracts said bond from growing. There's nothing anyone can do but let it go and hope for the best. They could only hope they'd be able to live their life without their other half. Occasionally, they may be able to find themselves together again eventually.
Harry and Louis have been divorced now for two years. They haven't seen each other since it was made official. There were many factors that pushed them towards divorce that were perhaps obvious. Harry still felt blindsided at the time; however as he looks back now he should have seen it coming.
So, when Zayn called Harry one morning to ask if he was willing to participate in a video for Buzzfeed, he said yes. When he found out that video entailed seeing Louis for the first time in two years, he didn't know what to think.
Harry's just returned from a six-month volunteer Healthcare program in Costa Rica and he had worked with local doctors to help the disabled and ill children. It had been a last-minute decision to join the program, it hadn't even settled with him before he hopped on the plane and endured the almost six-hour flight to the Central American country.
Harry didn't even have time to relax and adjust being back home in Los Angeles, before Zayn had asked to be up and in front of a camera. His childhood friend has been working for years at Buzzfeed right out of college and since the company started. Although older than most who work for the company, he still fits in with the young adults. Now, he's mostly involved with their YouTube channel. He helps with the several videos uploaded to their almost eighteen million subscribers. It is absolutely insane to think about.
Before his six-month trip, Harry sometimes found himself in some of the videos, participating in the several challenges that they've come up with.
This time is different however because it's going to involve Louis. And since Harry has no self-control, he quickly sends out a text to Zayn that's he's willing to do it. He doesn't even think about the repercussions of his rash decision because this means he's going to see Louis.
It's been two dreadful years of feeling alone. When he gets up in the morning, he is alone. From the time he gets home from work till the time he leaves, he is alone. It's been two years without someone to come home to, someone to banter with or make snide remarks at the trash reality shows they watched. It's been two years of not seeing or holding Louis, his soulmate.
Harry isn't allowed to complain though. There is no one to blame for this pain and heartbreak but himself.
So, when he walks into the Buzzfeedstudios this Saturday and finally gets to see the loveliness that is his ex-husband and soulmate, he can't breakdown.
Yeah, it's easier said than done.

Filming for the Buzzfeed video is a mere day away from happening and Harry is not panicking in the middle of a random bar.
He omitted from inviting anyone because he simply wants to be alone in preparation for the day ahead. Alcohol seems to be the perfect means. It appears the bartender notices Harry's gloomy state when she heads over to his side and hands him another whiskey sour.
