Louis + Dylan

16 - The Apology Letter

Louis left this morning to go to work. Olivia took him to work and made sure to take Freddie with her because he needed to vent to his cousin about everything that has happened with him. Dylan wakes up the next morning realizing that Today's the day to make the plea to prove to Louis that he loves him + wants to be with him. While he makes breakfast + coffee, Louis starts walking down the stairs. (Dylan) Good Morning Louis! (Louis) Hello. Do you have your plea ready? (Dylan) Yes! All I have to do is print it out. (Louis) Go ahead + print it out. I'll finish up here. (Dylan) Are you sure? (Louis) If you want me back, go print it out. Dylan prints it out, Louis finishes making breakfast. Coffee is already made. Dylan has the plea printed out + stapled. Louis puts the coffee into his "to-go" cup and leaves to go to work. 

4:00pm

Louis gets home from work, goes upstairs, gets out of his work clothes, puts on some comfy clothes, and gets back downstairs and sees Dylan. Louis pulls up a chair and talks to him. (Louis) Why did you do what you did to me last night? After everything I have done for you, this is how you repay me because I broke up with Harry to be with you because I thought you wouldn't be like him and stab me right in the back, but you did? How could you do this to me? Literally, I gave you rights to be the other father to Freddie because you said that you would love him as much as you love me. But boy was I wrong. I feel like this is a huge mistake. (Dylan) I'm sorry Louis. I love Freddie and I love you. (Louis) I thought I could trust you with not only my heart, but also with little Freddie's heart as well. What happened to my trust after I left Harry just to be with you, I took away the parental rights of Freddie from Harry because I thought you were gonna be the better father for him? (Dylan) First of all, this is not a mistake. You didn't make the biggest mistake of your life by giving me the parental rights of Freddie because I wanted to be the best father to Freddie because he deserves to have the both of us in his life, not just one of us. Louis gets a phone call. It's from Olivia.

Louis: Hey Olivia, what's up?

Olivia: Hey Louis, I was wondering if Freddie wanted to hang out with me + the rest of the family for the night + I'll just bring Freddie back over in the morning. 

Louis: You know what? Freddie would love that because he wants to spend time with his cousins, his aunts, his uncles + everybody else. 

Olivia: Perfect! I'm just now on my way over to your place to come pick up Freddie. 

Louis: Perfect! I'll have him ready to go. I'll be outside with him waiting for you. Give me about half hour because he's just waking up from his nap. 

A half hour later.

Louis is outside with Freddie in his arms ready for his playdate with the family. Olivia pulls up, gets Freddie and they make their separate ways. Louis goes back inside to hear the letter from Dylan. (Louis) Are you ready to present it to me, Dylan? (Dylan) Yes I am! Dylan holds the stapled letter together. (Dylan) Here's my plea, simply titled "The Apology Letter":

To Louis, I am sorry for the way I treated you the other night. You didn't deserve that hurt at all. The day we had that big fight, I couldn't fall asleep at night after the incident because I just couldn't picture my life without you in it. You are the one who I wanna spend forever with. But I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get you back or not to actually get the chance to do that. I'm terrified of losing you because without you, I'm completely NOTHING! I can't do this without you! Freddie means the world to me + I still want to be his second father, But I can't do the co-parent thing because I'll just miss you way too damn much. The last thing I want to happen is.....

Dylan goes to the next page + continues.

(Dylan) You walking out of my life + never my son ever again. I don't want that + I know you don't want that either. I want Olivia back as my cousin as well. Louis, I love everything about you. I miss sleeping in the same bed as you. I want things back to the way we were. I don't like sleeping on this couch while you're all nice + warm in our bed. I promise you that you're the only one I wanna be with. Please don't leave. I love you with all of my heart. I want us back. I know you got a huge decision to make. I'll support you. - Dylan.
