A few weeks later, I was in my room with Harry. We had fixed things between us after he woke up in the hospital. It was the day of the funeral and I was considering not going at all. It hurt thinking about the fact that she's gone.

"C'mon Louis, you have to go. Lottie would want you there" Harry tried to convince me

"I don't know if I can do it Haz. It would hurt me to see her body being lowered into the ground" I replied honestly.

"Then don't look when it happens. I'll be there with you"

"Thanks love. I'm really lucky to have you"

"You know I'll always be here for you Lou"

We got up from my bed and walked downstairs to my car. I drive us to the venue of the funeral.

When we arrived, I saw mum, Anne, Mark, Gemma, Niall, Zayn and Liam waiting for us. We walked inside and the memorial service began. Mum had went up to say some words about Lottie and Mark did too. When it was my turn to go up there, I hesitated before actually standing up. I think Harry was shocked because he looked at me with wide eyes before calming down.

I took a deep breath then spoke. "Hi um I'm Louis. So um I didn't prepare a speech because um... because to be honest I didn't think I'd be able to come up here at all. Instead, I'll be singing this song I wrote for Lottie after she passed away"

I sat down at the piano and hesitated. I thought about what Lottie would say to me at the moment. She would have said something like 'c'mon Lou you can do this. Don't be a bitch about it'. This gave me motivation and I started playing some notes.

It's been a minute since I called you
Just to hear the answer phone
Yeah I know you won't get this
But I'll leave this message so I'm not alone

This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories playing through my head
You'll never know how much I miss you
The day they took you
I wish it was me instead

But you once told me don't give up
You can do this day by day
And diamonds they don't turn to dust or fade away

So I will keep you day and night
Here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me
Always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own
I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down
Swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us

I could feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every mirror
I know you'll be waiting
I'll see you again

But you once told me don't give up
You can do this day by day
And diamonds they don't turn to dust or fade away

So I will keep you day and night
Here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me
Always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own
I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down
Swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us

I promised you I'd do this
So all of this is all for you
Oh, I swear to god you're living
Through everything I'll ever do

At this point I was in tears and they were starting to rush down my face.

So I will keep you day and night
Here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me
Always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own
I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down
Swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us

One life for the two of us
I'll be living one life for the two of us

We'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I'll hold you where my heart is
One life for the two of us

I went and sat down next to Harry again. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into him. I saw the tears on his face and wiped them off of his cheeks. "That song was beautiful Lou" he said. I nodded in response because I didn't trust my voice to speak for me.

A few hours later

I was laying on my bed with Harry eating ice cream. I always ate ice cream whenever I was sad. Lottie knew that and made sure I had ice cream all the time. That thought made all the sadness rush back to me and at that moment I needed someone. "Haz?"

"Yeah Lou" he replied.

"Can we cuddle and like not say anything you know. Just lay in each other's arms"

"Of course we can love. There was no need to ask" he wrapped his arms around me. I shuffled closer to him and snuggled into his chest, feeling that familiar comfort just from his scent.

"I love you Harry"

"I love you too Lou"

We fell asleep in each other's arms and only woke up four hours later. I woke up after Harry and he was staring at me like he usually does. I didn't even bother asking if he was watching me sleep like I always do. "Hey Louis" he said softly.

"Hey. Can you please stay over? For emotional support" I asked, hoping for a yes.

"Of course. Anything for you Lou" he smiled.

A/N: If this made you cry, I'm sorry and if there are mistakes, I'm even more sorry. I didn't have time to edit this which bothers me considering the context of the chapter but I'm just really busy. The next two chapters are the last ones in the original book but I'm gonna add another two so there are four chapters left of this story. The last two might come out late because I need to think of what I'll write because I have no references at all. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. <333
