Seventeen

Liam and I convinced Niall and Liz to take Louis out somewhere nice- just so he would shower. I don't think he had showered in a few days, which was only mildly repulsive. They left at 12 and I told Niall and Liz to be at the airport at 2 because he would obviously show up early to check in. Liam and I ordered Chinese takeout (which Louis would be very upset if he knew he missed— no matter what fancy ass steak they had) and put our plan into action.

Z: Hey H guess what? We're all coming to say goodbye to you!

H: All?

Z: Yes, all of us! Be ready mate xo

Harry didn't reply after that, which was understandable; he probably had to take it in that his (former) lover is coming to see him leave.

Liam and I got ready to go to the airport (we all dressed nice since this was Harry's supposed 'goodbye') but I think we all knew Harry wanted to stay. He just didn't know if Louis wanted him to stay. We drove to the airport and found Finley and Niall's car immediately.

"What do we do? Louis wants to know where he is."

"Well of course he does, he's blindfolded," I said monotonously.

"Well what do I tell him?"

"Hype it up and tell him it's a fun surprise."

It took us forever to find Harry's terminal because it was on the opposite side that we parked at, of course.

"Ya know, I don't see why Louis and Harry didn't just talk it out."

"Li, you didn't see Louis earlier... He was such a mess. I'm sure they attempted to talk it out but they are both stubborn as fuck," I sighed.

"That is a very true statement," Liam agreed.

We greeted Harry and impatiently waited for Niall, Liz, and Louis to show up.

Z: NIALL where are you mate?!

Z: Niall call me right now!

Z: Harry's flight is about to leave you need to get here right now

"Liz just texted me."

"What did she say?"

Liam cleared his throat before he read her text outloud to Harry and I.

Liz: Sorry we couldn't make it. Louis found out about the whole plan due to Niall's big mouth. We thought he was in the bathroom but he came back and Niall was talking about going to the airport. Louis tricked Niall into taking him home and locked N out of the house... We tried to get him to come but he doesn't want to talk to Harry anymore. Soz :( Send Harry my best wishes xo

Harry was very sad as he got on the plane. Liam and I watched him board and he waved to us before take off; I felt like a parent watching their child leave the house for the first time. The difference was that Harry most likely wasn't going to come back.

*** (3rd person POV & 2 years later)

Two years later, in the summer of 2017, Louis had stopped thinking about Harry. In 2016 he had watched, more than he'd like to admit, countless interviews of Harry and that's how he kept up with him. At first, his friends believed it was obsessive, but then they quickly realized he loved Harry and wanted the best for him. Sure he had over-reacted to him moving to America- but that was what was best for his career.

Louis had short flings with guys but it was never as serious as him and Harry were. His Youtube career had (finally) taken off and he hit a million subscribers earlier in the year. After him and Harry were officially done, he removed most of his videos and started again. To this day, the video that Louis shot of Harry at the park is still his most-viewed video. He started to work heavily on Youtube but didn't drop out of school, like most Youtubers.

He was getting a steady income from views on Youtube and it helped that he had four other room mates (Niall, Liz, Liam, and Zayn). Niall and Liz were getting married in about a month and Louis was absolutely ecstatic for them. They almost called off the proposal two years ago after Louis and Harry broke up, in fear that Louis would be too heartbroken to attend their wedding but it was exactly the opposite.

Louis was happy for them wanting to start a life together and he respected their relationship. Niall and Liz had moved up in their careers so they hadn't really had time to tie the knot. 7 months ago, they finally secured a wedding date (July 8, 2017) and Liz had it all arranged within the first two months of planning.

Harry also finally became the successful model he had always wanted to be. Louis was happy for him, really. The thing he wasn't happy about, was seeing Harry with all of these other (rich) men. It wasn't that Louis was jealous, he was just concerned that these guys were looking for his money and not him.

"Louis, we have to go to the banquet hall in Florida. Come on!"

Oh yeah, that.

Niall, Liz, Liam, Zayn, and Louis were all stopping their lives to visit the garden (for 4 days) of where Liz and Niall were to be wed next month- just to see if it was 'perfect.'

They booked a direct flight last month from London to Florida and it would only take 9 hours. They all boarded their plane and Louis realized he hadn't been even remotely near an airport in two years, since Niall and Liz tried to deceive him into meeting Harry at the airport.

When they got off the plane they took an uber to the hotel and then the gardens and banquet hall that they would have their wedding and wedding reception at.

Niall looked like such a wreck, Louis had wondered why- until they got to the hall. They walked in and directly after, someone very familiar came in. His hair was a lot longer than he expected, his voice sounded even more deeper than before, and Louis wondered how the hell it was possible for him to grow taller.

Louis had to get out of there. He couldn't breathe. It felt as though that man had taken all of the air out of his lungs, filled the air into a balloon, and then popped it in front of him. He had to leave.

"I-I have to go," Louis said quickly.

Louis rushed to an empty hallway (he was originally trying to find the toilets) and pounded against the velvet walls. Jesus Christ. He had to get out of fucking Florida. He turned around and accidentally bumped into the man that was giving him so much trouble breathing.

"Oops!" Louis yelped.

"Hi."
