Baby, look what you've done to me || L.S AU

XIII.

This is a Sam Smith kind of chapter so the songs are as follows :

-Like I Can
-Lay Me Down
-Stay With Me

"Life is a fragile thing but it is also a beautiful opportunity God has bestowed to us, as we gather here not to say goodbye to our dear friend but rather to celebrate his life. His contribution to this world, the many wonderful relationships he's developed in his short time here.

I remember meeting Steven for the first time, it was a funny story actually, he was the man that took over my company, he bought majority of the company's shares deeming him successor of our firm. Steven was a driven man, he always saw a future where technology would make drastic changes in the way that we live. He was always so positive that someday his research and products would benefit the world and that he could somehow help alleviate the many natural diseases that threaten our frail race.
When Anne passed on-"

Harry kicks his chair to the floor startling the quiet room of people. He shoots up angry giving Mr. Malik a hard glare before bolting for the door. Louis stood in his seat stunned at the sight. He looks over to Zayn who shrugs his shoulders. Louis sat there contemplating whether he should go after Harry. It's been a rough couple of weeks, Harry was finally able to open the hard drive with the help of Louis, the password as he had finally come to know was from the song his mother used to sing him to sleep - "lay down sweet child dream of me tonight, close your eyes and drift away, come back when sun comes out to play" It took a good few days to come up with it but Louis was a smart fellow and he knew it had to be something sentimental to the family.

None of them understood a thing on the database as far as they knew it consisted of formulas and binary codes stuff they teach you in advance physics and maths class and no one paid attention. They knew getting people involved in this circle would be dangerous, the antidote was like gold and if word got out they would cause a whole lot of conspiracy and chaos. For now the formula was tucked safely under Harry's guard, he didn't think Steven would leave him this soon. He had been taking his medication and many of his doctors saw improvement.

It all happened so quick it didn't give anyone time to even say goodbye. Harry was heading back home after his regular morning visit to the hospital, he left his father fine when he got a call on the highway that he should come back to the hospital immediately. Harry was panicking, his phone call rushed with Louis trying to inform him of the situation. When Louis arrived sadly it was too late, he say his boy sitting in one of the plastic chairs outside his father's room, his hand over his face, staring at the floor. Louis felt so helpless seeing Harry this way, he couldn't stop himself once he saw Louis , holding on to him and sobbing into his chest.

"god bless her soul, Steven had made a promise to himself that he would find a cure for cancer, he would end this disease forever" Zayn's father who has been not only a business partner to Steven for years but also a close friend continues to speak from the podium. Louis gets up and quietly exits the room going in search for Harry. He walks down the step of the small church and makes his way on the narrow grass pathway on the lawn.

He spots Harry sitting on one of the benches to the back of the church where the lake meets land. He goes over quietly and sits next to him, his hands rest on his back as Harry is slumped down on the bench much like he was when Louis saw him in the hospital. Harry sniffs and shifts himself so he's half lying on Louis' lap. Louis strokes the boy's hair, he wishes he could take all his pain away, it's hard seeing someone you love in pain and it's harder knowing there isn't anything that would make it better. They sit there in silence, the world around them stops, caught up in the small touches, Harry's ragged breathing against Louis it would be perfect if this world of theirs existed, no pain, no worry just two people in mad love.
