I Love You (L.S)

~9~

Louis' P.O.V.

"Harry, I gotta tell you something."

He glanced up at me stuffing the fork full of burrito into his mouth.
"Hmm?"

I cleared my throat.
"I'm on my man period sorry."

"Oh haha, but seriously what's wrong?" He set his fork down and waited for me to respond.

"Well.....I may be, ummm, a virgin." I looked down trying to hide my "shame".

"Awe Lou, it's okay. We can wait until you're ready if you want." I smiled at him grateful for his understanding. I got up and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him.  I felt a tickle on the bottom of my foot and I started laughing. I looked down to see Archie nudging my foot so I stood up.

"Wanna take a walk?" I walked to the living room and opened the closet to retrieve Archie's leash.

"Sure." I heard the clanking of dishes and figured Hazz was putting our dishes in the sink. I hooked the leash to Archie's collar and headed outside.

Harry's P.O.V.

The door clicked shut and I grabbed my shoes slipping them on.

"Wait, Lou you can't leave yet!" I stumbled out the door, nearly falling. I heard Louis chuckling.

"I wasn't going to leave you, I was making sure Archie went pee." I hid my face trying not to show the blush that started to appear.

"So where are we going?" I looked down reaching for his hand and intertwined our fingers.

"To where we first met of course."  I smiled looking up at him. We haven't been to the café in awhile.

"Sounds lovely." We walked down to the café where we saw Niall leaned up against the wall scrolling through his phone. You don't usually see him outside when he's at work.

"Hey Ni!" Louis said as soon as he spotted Niall. He handed me Archie's leash.

"Lou, you're back!" Niall ran jumping into a hug.

"Man I missed this place. Sorry I couldn't come into work..."

"It's completely understandable. I'm sorry for what you had to go through mate." They broke the hug and we stood for a moment until deciding to take a seat. The café finally got tables for people to eat outside so we went to the nearest one.

"It's fine, I'm just happy to have lived and to be with my lovely boyfriend." He leaned up against me resting his head on my shoulder.

"Wait you guys are dating now?" Niall set his phone down in front of him. I nodded.

"Congrats guys!" Suddenly Louis' phone started to ring and he stepped away to answer it. I continued chatting with Niall, but was cut short when Lou returned crying.

"What's wrong babe?" I tried to look him in the eyes, but he would turn away.

"My mom won't have the kids anymore, my dad took custody of them while they went on vacation." He lifted his hand to wipe away his tears, but it was no use.

"I'm so sorry Lou, it'll get better though. I promise."

"No, you don't understand. I have to leave. I can't stay here. I can come back once everything is normal again, but for now I have to help my mom." By now tears were streaming down my face.

"So what does that mean?!"

"I promise I'll call every night and text you all the time. We can still be together, but I just won't be with you." He looked me dead in the eyes as he said that. I knew he wasn't lying.

"We'll be together again someday, right?" He nodded his head.

"I promise. I love you Harry, goodbye."

I kissed him for what would be the last time. When I had to break away I finally said the painful words.

"I love you too. Goodbye Lou, I'll miss you."

With that he started to walk off, our hands slowly departing from each other until my hand finally dropped to my side and I was left to cry on Niall's shoulder while Archie nudged at my leg.
