Three days. It has been three days and not a word from Harry. Louis tried going to Harry and Niall's house as soon as he found the note, but no one answered the door. The next day he went back and still, no answer. He called and texted Harry a thousand time but it was hopeless. He asked the others but Zayn and Liam didn't know anything and Niall didn't answer either

When Louis went to Harry's house on the second day, Niall slowly opened the door, but all he said was "Harry isn't home Louis, I'm sorry" and he shut it without another word

The third day Louis wrote Harry a letter and slipped it under the door. He knocked and ran back to his car and drove home

Louis didn't know if Harry would even read the letter, but he had to at least. He could write an entire book about why he loves Harry, but he kept the letter pretty short, just needing to tell him how he feels and how sorry he is. This is what he wrote:

Dear Hazza,
Please, answer your phone, you know that I'm no good alone. All I've been doing is sitting at home on the floor and knocking on your door. I feel like I'm losing my mind, I have this terrible feeling that you want to leave us behind. I'm so sorry for what I said at the restaurant, I didn't mean it. I was jealous and hurt but that's no excuse. I should've listened to you, please, come back to me.
Yours,
Louis

Niall texted him saying he would give Harry the letter, but that was all he said

So it's now the fourth day and Louis went to check his mail. There was a letter from Harry. He quickly tore it open, it read:

Dear Lou,
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It wasn't supposed to end like this. I never really thought it would end. Please move on, forget about me, go live your life as it was without me in it. You can still talk to Niall and Zayn but don't ask about me. I know you'll want to wait, maybe see if I'll come back to you, but I won't. It's best this way, trust me. Just know that I still love you and I always will. I know that it's not fair of me to say, but I mean it. Goodbye.
Yours,
Harry

Louis felt tears burning his eyes. He tore the letter up and threw it away and then drove over to Nialls. When he got there he pounded on the door until Niall opened it

"WHERE IS HE?!" Louis screamed while still crying

"Louis, I can't answer that, I'm sorry" Niall said before shutting the door again

Louis wrote Harry back as soon as he got home. It said:

Dear Hazza,
This isn't right. You know that. You can't just disappear from me without an explanation. You were it for me Hazz, we were supposed to have forever. I can't do this without you by my side. You can't just leave me like this. I love you and you love me and that will never change. You're mine and I'm yours, remember? I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes for you to come back to me. Even if it takes just a minute, or forever. I love you
Yours,
Louis

He drove back over to Nialls and pounded on the door again. Niall opened it and Louis said, "Make sure he gets this. Please" and he walked away

One week later

Louis is an absolute mess. He has barley eaten since he only really did with Harry. He's gone out every night as well. He's ignored Liam, Zayn, and Niall. He hasn't received a letter back from Harry but he checks every single day for one. It's been eleven days without Harry and he forgot how to live without him. He's spent most of his days in bed, sleeping off the night before. He relapsed, stopped taking his meds, and stopped caring about everything
