Angels in Hell (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 63

After Liam came back over crying, Harry and I made the decision to end the date early and comfort Liam. The results were not good as you could tell judging from the tears. We all got changed into comfy clothes when we arrived at the hotel. Liam lays in his hotel bed crying into his hands. I sit on the edge of the bed. My hand rests comfortingly on his knee. Harry sits on the other side, holding one of Liam's hands tightly as he sobs. Zayn comes over to us and sits next to Liam, embracing him in a side hug. And Liam sits between Niall's legs. Niall wraps his arms around Liam's waist, resting his chin on Liam's shoulder.

"What if she doesn't make it?" Liam whimpers. "I'm so worried about her."

"Don't think like that, Li," I whisper. "Remember what I said about thinking positive?"

He looks at me with blood shot eyes. Rubbing his knee comfortingly, we stare at one another closely. He nods and wipes his eyes with one free hand. Suddenly, his free arm stretches out for me anxiously. His fingers outstretch for me, waving me over to him. I smile small and crawl to his side. Halfway sitting on Zayn and halfway on Liam and Niall, I wrap my arm around Liam's waist over Niall's arms gently. I rest my head on Liam's other shoulder. Zayn moves his arms so that it's around Liam, Niall, and me. Liam pulls at Harry's hand.

Harry, like I did, crawls next to Liam and Niall and curls into his side. He nuzzles his head into Liam's chest, still grasping his hand tightly.

"We are here for you, Li," I whisper.

I can feel Zayn putting his head on my shoulder after I talk. I only close my eyes and listen to everyone's quiet breathing.

"I love you, boys," Liam says as we all cuddle closer together.

Everything seems absolutely great right now. Harry and I kissed and he is pretty much my... Boyfriend. I suddenly like that word a lot more now. I feel almost as if things are getting better between Zayn and me. Niall is being very supportive for Liam. Liam brings out Niall's sweeter side. As for Liam, he may be breaking on the inside, but he is one of the strongest people I know. We will help him through this difficult time. Together. All four of us mutter our "I love you's" back to Liam and slowly fall asleep in each other's embrace.

The next morning, I wake to the sound of my phone ringing in my pajama pant's pocket. I pull Zayn's arm off of my waist that somehow ended up there and jump from the bed. Once I get into the hall, I answer, too tired to see who it is.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Louis... It's me," I hear a familiar voice say.

Immediatly, I know the voice and smile big.

"Harry!" I exclaim as I enter my own hotel room.

It's odd to think that I'm talking to alternate universe Harry on the phone, but this universe Harry is in the other room.

"Hi, sweetie pie!" Harry says on the other side.

I can practically see Harry's smile because he is so happy.

"Hey, love. Sorry I haven't called you in a while. I've been really busy with work and... Other you."

"Ooh! Really? What's been happening?" Harry asks curiously.

I smile, wandering into the kitchen area of our hotel room.

"We kissed."

"Oh my gosh! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

"It only happened last night!"

"Oh. Where?"

"We went on a very romantic date that other you planned out for us-"
