Hope's P.O.V
I woke up in Louis arms, and all of a sudden a bunch of sadness hits me when I realize what day it is.

It had been two years. Two years since my parents died. Two years of being alone. My eyes started to water a little bit, so I got out of bed and went to the restroom. I calmed myself down, but I just didn't understand why this had to happen to my parents. They were such good people, always doing things for others.

Last year on this day I sat in my bed crying the whole day, but I couldn't do that this year. I took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

I went back to the bedroom and Louis was already out of bed. I put on some sweats, and a sweatshirt. I left my hair down, and walked out to the living room.

"Morning babe." Louis said kissing my cheek.

"Morning," I said and gave him a small smile.

"You okay?" He asked examining my face. Him just asking if I was okay made me want to burst out in tears but I held it in.

"Yea I'm fine. I'm gonna go outside to get some fresh air, for a couple minutes." I told Louis.

"Okay....if you need anything let me know." He said. You could tell he knew something was wrong by his concerned voice. I quickly slipped on my vans and went on the porch, sitting on the stairs we had out there.

My eyes started to water, and I just let the tears roll down my face. This is the first year I couldn't go to my mom or dad's grave, due to it being in America. I was still crying when out of the corner of my eye I saw Louis sit next to me. I tried holding in my tears, once he sat next to me. I didn't want to drag Louis or anybody into this. I could feel Louis staring at my red puffy face. I looked down at my hands and bit my lip to keep it from trembling.

"You can cry in front of me, I don't care." Louis said in a soft voice looking at me. Just hearing him say that made me start crying harder. Louis wrapped his arms around me, and I scooted closer to him putting my head on his chest. He rubbed my back, and whispered soothing things into my ear while I cried.

Louis really didn't know how much he meant to me. I couldn't imagine my life without him.

I had finally managed to calm down, and had my head laying on his chest.

"I love you." He said kissing my cheek.

"I love you to." I whispered.

"Do you wanna go back inside?" He asked me. I nodded my head, and he helped me get up. I kept my head down while walking in. I was kind of embarrassed for breaking down in front of Louis. Louis lead me to the living room couch and we sat down. He turned on the tv, and I laid down against him. A couple minutes passed before Louis spoke up.

"Are you okay?" Louis asked me.

"Yea," I said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. From his voice, I could tell he wanted to know, and I did owe at least telling him since I cried on his shoulder for about 20 minutes.

"Today was the day I lost my parents." I told him quietly. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.

"I'm sorry." He said giving my lips a soft kiss.

"Thank you, for always being here for me." I told him.

"I know I'm not always the easiest person to be around, so thank you." I said. Louis smiled at me.

"You're perfect just the way you are." Lou said in my ear. I gave him a kiss on the lips, and he deepened it before pulling away.

I laid my head on his chest, and Louis started playing with my hair. About ten minutes later Louis asked if I had a hair tie. I took one off of my wrist, and handed it to him. When he was done putting it in my hair, I ran my hand over my head and felt a perfect braid.

"You can braid?" I asked Louis in surprise.

"Growing up around girls your whole life, you pick up a few things." Louis said with a sweet smile. I smiled and laid my head back on Louis.

"Do you want something to eat? It's going on 1:30." Louis asked me. I shook my head no and and Louis sighed.

"You should eat something babe." Louis said.

"I'll eat later, I have a headache." I told Louis. Louis motioned for me to sit up, which I did. He then laid all the way down, and motioned me to lay on my side next to him. I laid down and instantly felt more comfortable. I closed my eyes and slowly felt myself drifting to sleep.

I felt soft kisses along my jaw, and I opened my eyes to see Louis hovering above me.

"Did you sleep well?" Louis asked with a smirk.

I nodded my head and pulled Louis down next to me, cuddling into his side.

"I ordered a pizza that should be here soon." Louis said.

"Thanks." I whispered. Louis started running his thumb over my cheek making me close my eyes and lean into his hand. He pressed a soft kiss to my lips, right as there was a knock on the door. He sighed and went to pay for the pizza. I got up and stretched before walking to the kitchen and taking a piece. I sat down and Louis sat across from me. We ate in silence, and devoured the pizza since both of us hadn't ate yet today.

After we were done we went back to the couch and watched tv. We eventually both fell asleep, tangled together.
