Song Of The Chapter: Clocks by Coldplay

I was at Liam and Niall's house.We were getting ready for the big wedding - everyone was going to be there.

Niall and Liam were matching with full midnight black tuxedos and shiny dress shoes. They had their hair done up nicely. I wore a regular black tux with dark, glittery boots. Originally, my hair was up in a bun but Niall said it looked nice down with a fedora. I agreed but was honestly too anxious to care.

Louis was getting married and I had a slim chance of stopping it. The thought of Eleanor marrying him made me extremely nauseous. She made me nauseous.

"Harry, mate, are you feeling okay?" Liam shook my shoulder.

I turned to look at him and put on a fake smile, "Of course."

He raised an eyebrow, not buying it, "You look pretty pale, though."

I waved a hand and shook my head.

Niall came from the other room and shoved his phone into his pocket, "Hey, guys, we should probably get going soon. Louis just called me; said he heard some rumors about the girls finding out where the wedding is taking place. So we should leave soon, maybe now. He doesn't want us to get mobbed, you know?"

Liam and I stared at the blonde for a minute, and gave a nod of the head.

"I'll drive." Liam said.

We were finally on our way to the church. I was mentally dying, prepared for the worst - never the best. The blond and brunet were sitting in the front while I was seated in the back. My nerves were all over as I watched out the window and rethought about life.

Louis and I used to be so close when we first met. I was the Haz to his boo bear. We were always together. Always. From the moment in the bathroom to now. Louis and I celebrated our birthdays together and had cheesy little dinner dates at home. Went bowling a lot too, both of us were horrible though. He made me laugh when I cried. He made me smile when I didn't deserve it. It was just us against the world. Louis and Harry.

They called us Larry Stylinson.

But Modest didn't let our friendship slide. We were given hell because of it, in fact. Louis and I were basically banned from being together in public and eventually Eleanor showed up. She ruined everything for the two of us - we grew so distant.

Louis was forced to "date" her. And with every day that passed, it was clear to me that Louis was depressed. All his smiles and laughs were fake. So fake. His eyes no longer crinkled like when I made him smile. He didn't like her one bit. I didn't either.

But some how, through all the bullshit, he was so convinced he loved her. He was brainwashed to believe the lies. Louis was so sure he needed to marry her and always be with her. Modest was more than happy to hear that, so they set up the wedding, date, time, everything.

When in reality, I knew Louis just missed being loved the way I loved him, and missed having that special someone. Eleanor was far from being that special someone. Even Louis knew it.

A hand shook my knee and cut off my thought, "Wake up, loser."

"Shut up, Ni." I chuckled, "We're here already?"

"Yeah. You were in la la land the whole time, man." Liam chimed in. I rolled my eyes but smiled.

We piled out of the SUV and checked ourselves to make sure everybody looked fine. I got the shivers when I saw Louis over by the church doors already staring at me. He looked emotionless but desperate at the same time. Like he needed something.

"Hey guys, I have to - uh - talk to Louis really quick." I ran off before they could say anything and walked up to Louis.

"Hi." He greeted, with a small smile.

"Hey." I said softly. Out of nervousness, I glanced up only to see Eleanor glaring at me with her arms crossed through a window. She didn't want me near Louis at all - she didn't want me in her presence at all.

But I can fight fire with fire.

I looked back down at Louis, "You don't have to go through with this. There's still time to back out."

"Excuse me?" He squinted his eyes like he didn't understand me.

"I said you don't have to go through with this. It's not.." I paused, thinking it might not be the best idea to continue talking, but I did, "too late."

"Harry, I love her. I'm going to marry her wether you like it or not. That's just how it is." He sighed and looked down regretfully.

A pang of misery hit me and the world came tumbling down. I said the first thing that came to my mind, "You don't love her. I know you don't."

"Don't do this, Harry, please." I heard his voice slightly crack.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, "I'm sorry, I really am."

Louis tried to grab for my wrist but I pulled away and walked towards the pews and immediately blended in with the others. I looked over my shoulder and saw Louis grazing his eyes over the crowd for me. All I could do was keep my head down and avoid confrontation.

Then the church bells rang five times which indicated that Louis was needed by the priest to wait for his bride.

Moments later, Eleanor walked elegantly down the isle, with Canon in D playing in the background. She found her way in front of Louis and smiled. He smiled back, but from the way his eyes were crinkle-less, it wasn't genuine.

A long speech went on, but I didn't concentrate enough to hear it. Instead, I was focused on how I wanted to be sick and cry my life away. All of my days with Louis lead up to this - him marrying a woman.

The man talking finally caught my attention.

"If anyone here does not agree with this vow of love, please say so now or forever hold your peace." The priest declared.

I didn't agree. I never agreed.

I had to stop Louis' sadness for good.

But shit, that slim chance was becoming even slimmer.

"No!" I shouted and shot up from my seat.

The whole room became silent and all eyes were on me; even Louis'. Two ladies to my left were whispering to each other and I knew in the back of my head I just started the beginning of so much drama.

[a/n: wow okay so this got me so emotional rn. If anyone is even reading this, please let me know how you liked it! <3 -xxlarryschildxx]
