Forever the one (A Larry Stylinson Fanfic) L.S PART 1

Chapter 30 Louis

Flashback to Louis POV prior to Luke arriving to see Harry in previous chapter

Louis talks to Luke

We have dropped Evan off at my moms, ready to sit down for the evening and hopefully have a calm adult chat. I walk through the door Luke following behind as I head for the kitchen and switch the kettle on. I lean against the counter awaiting the kettle to boil as Luke goes up to shower after football. Chewing on my thumb nail, I know exactly what I want to say, what I need to say but how to do it is a different matter entirely.

I walk into the living room popping the teas on the table as I wait for Luke. I walk over to the photos hanging on the wall reminiscing how life was so simple back then, just me and my boy. I remember feeling back then that I id always be alone that it would be me and Evan forever just us too. Then Luke came along, I had known him for a while and happened to bump into him one night when out with Liam and Zayn.

We exchanged numbers and initially we just met up odd times as friends. I was still very much heartbroken over Harry and I was no way looking to form any kind of new relationship although I always got the feeling Luke wanted to be more than just friends. 

That first year after Evan was born was so tough, having a newborn and trying to navigate life and open a new business I really didn't have time for anything other than friendship. Luke was a great support to me through them times though and by the time Evan was two we were texting regularly, friendship had turned to feelings, we went on dates and yeah, the rest is history.

I pull a photo down off the wall looking at it. Luke had captured the picture when we went on a coffee date, the first time I took Evan with me to meet him. It's one of my favourite pictures, me and Evan captured in the moment laughing, a time when I finally thought this is going to be ok. Luke bonded with Evan from the off.

I feel the tear slip down my cheek. I know I love Harry; he is my future, but I can't forget Luke and what he brought to mine and Evans life at a time when everything was so dark and grey. I know it's been hard for him and no way does his actions justify that, but I don't hate him for it. I'm sad for us that things have ended this way but there is no way on this earth now I can give up Harry now he has returned, he's the love of my life, he has re-ignited a desire I've not felt in a long time, a passion that I've never even been close to feeling with Luke. I didn't even realise it was missing from our relationship until Harry retuned and now I've had a touch of that feeling back I can't let it go and if that makes me selfish and the worst person on earth then that's something I am going to have to live with.

I feel Lukes's arms snake around my neck as he places his head on my shoulder

"What you Looking at?" I lift the photo to show him as I subtly move out of his hold. I can't let him hold me like nothing is wrong when I know i'm about to break his heart. He eyes the picture smiling fondly at it
