Met In A Food Truck (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 16

Harry's POV
Today is the day, i'm 100% optimistic that Louis will make it. It's just a simple surgery nothing less, nothing more.
But how the patient feels surely affects the results. I want Louis to be confident again, i want him back..
You see since the day Louis found out about his cancer, he changed i dunno how. But like the way he acts with others especially me, it feels like every sentence he says seems to be more like a farewell, and that's devastating.
He feels like every word is his last, he thinks that i don't notice that but i surely do.
Even when we hug, he holds on so tight to me like i'm fighting to go..
Or when we kiss, the kiss gets to be so passionate and hard.
Sometimes i even recognize a tear or two slipping, but i don't show him i could see them..
  I woke up on my alarm buzzing by my side.
I turned my face towards where Louis usually lays but he's not here. Weird, i'm usually the one to wake up first.
I slid on a hoodie then went downstairs.
Louis was sat down on the couch of the living room with a cross between his hands. Seemed to be like praying?
Believe it or not we've been together for like three months or so but it's the first time i see him praying.
-"please God, make this work.. I- i don't wanna hurt Harry.."
Why me? Why does it always have to be about me?
His words escaped his mouth with a little sob.
-"Lou.."
He raised his head wiping the tears immediately. Oh my god his eyes look so watery and the blue is showing even bluer?
-"Morning Harold"
He never seems to show me his weak side. Even in our worst moments, he's always the strong Louis who never fears a shit. At least that's what he thinks he is.
I shook my head then took a seat beside him, our faces inches away.
-"morning Lou"
He gave me a warm yet weak smile, this smile i swear..
-"what's wrong Lou?"
-"n-nothing.. Nothing Harry.."
I held his cheeks in place then leaned down, our lips crashing.
Louis started sobbing into the kiss, and at that point i lost my shit.
The kiss started to heat, growing more passionate as Louis' tears shed.
I didn't feel myself crying until i felt the taste of salty water.
I pulled away brushing my thumbs on Louis' cheeks, wiping the tears away.
-"Harry, before we go anywhere.. Just promise me that you'll love me the same. Promise me that you won't leave me. And.."
His breath started hitching, i held his hands in mine vanishing the space between us. He then managed to catch his breath again.
-".. And if, if i died Harry, please promise me to visit my grave everyday because they say it's very lonely and dark there and you know i'm afr-"
-"LOUIS STOP!"
I broke down but i soon managed to contain myself again.
-"Louis, baby please listen to me.. It will all be fine alright? Your cancer will go and never come back, you'll be your old secure self again. Please Louis, please.."
Louis then nodded wiping the newly shed tears again. We stood up and hugged tight then kissed softly.
-"lets get dressed, we have a cancer to give our farewells to!"

Louis' POV
Don't even ask me about what i've said earlier. I myself have no idea.
We're on our way to the hospital now and oddly, Harry's driving.
He said something about not wanting me to get nervous or something.
I, i have no clue what will happen afterwards. Will i be cancer free? Or i'll have to go through radiotherapy and chemotherapy?
Trust me they're so hard, and after a while you lose your hair.. I've spent twenny one years growing this now!
-"Lou, what are you thinking about?"
-"my hair"
-"what?"
-"uhh i mean my hair, i forgot to brush it"
-"when did you even brush it before?"
-"uh, good point"
We both laughed trying to clear my stupidity a bit, but then my laughter suddenly stopped.
The same view i've seen like a week ago. The hospital.
-"Alright Lou we're here" i was too into my thoughts repeating themselves again and again that i didn't realize Harry was waiting for me with arms wide open.
-"Louis!"
-"oh yeah yeah i'm sorry"
I got outside the car into Harry's embrace and walked into the hospital.

Harry's POV
I held his trembling body beside mine and walked in towards the cancer department.
God what got us into here..?
-"Harry how are you so sure it's this way?"
-"i've been here before Louis, you know when i came and asked about the treatment."
His eyes grew fonder, then he stopped in the middle of the hallway, catching my waist and pulling me into the warmest hug ever.
-"thank you Harry"
-"Louis, don't even mention it that's my least duty. Now come on before we're late for your surgery baby"
He gave me a warm smile then nodded as we walked again.
We reached that nurse, the same girly shit again.. It's déjà vu .. So déjà vu. Same cup same nail polish yeah whatever.
-"Louis Tomlinson, he has a surgery now"
She looked up from whatever the hell she was busy doing.
-"i believe he's Louis right?"
Oh no well i'm Louis and i said he has a surgery meaning my own self yeah, you're so smart i may say.
-"yeah he is."
-"and you are his friend?"
-"boyfriend"
Her face turned into what looked like a grimace?
Yeah now i figured why i never liked her..
-"so you're gunna call the doctor or what!?"
Louis then pressed on my hand
-"calm down Harry.."
-"alright! Wait a minute."
Yes, she's getting on my nerves again.
We sat down in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor to call Louis' name. Our hands never separating, our eyes constantly locked with each other.
-"Harry, it's getting close. They're setting up my room"
-"only few minutes between you and your cancer dumped. It's getting easier Louis, it'll happen in no time."
Hope, fear, sadness, love. Things his eyes were shining out.
I pulled him into my arms, resting my chin on his head as he mumbled some words into the crook of my neck. It's times like this i get to be happy that i'm taller.
His arms were connected to my waist, and mine were there embracing his back.
-"hey, you two!"
We pulled away only to see that bitch again with the most disgusted face ever.
-"yes ma'am?" Said Louis of course. Like what the fuck Louis? Ma'am!? Seriously?
-"your room is ready in 5"
Louis nodded then she walked away.
I turned my full attention to Louis again.
-"Lou! Good luck baby, all will be great again! Don't let that leave your mind for a second there okay? And your mum will be here when you wake up.. I love you alright? You'll make it no doubt!"
With no other word i leaned in, our lips molding together like always. The kiss was full of love, power. And it was somehow a hope giving.
I walked Louis to the room, and there they told me i can't get in.
Our hands were separated, but our eyes weren't until he was out of sight behind the doors..
Louis' POV
Harry wasn't holding my hands anymore. Instead there were a lot of doctors in here and it's getting annoying.
They were setting up something then they told me to lay down after i wore this kind of hospital clothing i dunno what they even call.
I did as they asked me hesitantly, then a nurse was coming closer with a needle in her hand.
The needle was large. Seriously it looked so scary..
-"uh excuse me ma'am but why is that?!"
She giggled a bit then started talking. It's not funny, you don't have to giggle wiggle. That rhymed! Oh Louis it's not the time for jokes.
-"if you don't take this no surgery can be done then. This will get you completely out of earth. You won't be feeling anything, as if you're asleep but with no sense."
I swallowed the lump in my throat then closed my eyes as the needle was getting into my capillaries.
I was feeling dizzy, the room was getting darker.
Soon all i could see was black.
