Louis’ POV:

I ran out the house, into the howling wind and rain. The rain lashed down cold and fierce and I could hardly see where I was going, hot angry tears spilling down my face.  I ran in a random direction not caring where I was going because all I wanted was to get away, far away where everyone was safe where everyone was human.  I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice where I was running until I hit the stranger full pelt knocking us both to the ground.

“Ooof” The stranger’s breath was knocked out of him. I scrambled to my feet and held my hand out so that I could help him up to his feet. “I’m so sorry” I gushed as I helplessly rubbed at the mud and grass stains that were now all over the stranger’s black coat and jeans. The stranger chuckled softly and captured my hands in his own, “Hey stop doing that, it really doesn’t matter” I looked into his brown eyes that were hidden under his hood and a mop of brown hair and nodded. He smiled, lighting up his features and without a word he took my hand and we walked in silence the nearest coffee shop.

The warm air warmed me up to the bone as we settled into a booth and the stranger shrugged off his big coat before looking at me properly and my breath stopped and my heart stuttered, and skipped a beat. I breathed deeply as my vision swirled and pixelated as I looked upon the face of Liam Payne, my childhood best friend.

He was meant to be dead.

*******

I was awoken by a sweet smell under my noise and I blearily opened my eyes to a worried looking Eleanor sat on the side of my bed gently sponging my forehead with an ice-cold towel. The sweet smell was wafting in steam spirals from the mug of tea on my bedside cabinet. I smiled weakly as Eleanor wordlessly dropped the towel in the bowl and gathered me to her chest, gently handling me as if I was a delicate china doll that could be easily broken. I wrapped my arms around her too; breathing in her familiar comforting smell, and running my hands through that long brown hair and kissing that flawless cheek, all attributes reassuringly normal and human.

After a little while of quite chitchat Eleanor left the house to go back to University and I gently propped myself up against the pillows and reached to lift the tea up and nearly spilled it in surprise for there was a note with my name in the familiar scrawl of Liam Payne. And with shaking hands I picked it up so that I could read what a dead man could have to say.

To Louis,

Long time no see huh? I am real, don’t worry you weren’t hallucinating or imagining things in your time of need, I just needed time to realise who I was and what I was before I could tell anyone especially you that I was alive. I’m sorry that I felt the need to fake my death, I had to get away from that life-sucking town and I suppose at the time doing what I did felt like a good idea but I know that now it really wasn’t.

I am staying with a couple of friends at the moment I only met them about a year ago, but Lou their good to me and I really am grateful to them for what they have done for me; Their possibly the best things in this world along with you and your mums signature cookies. I think just what I m trying to say that I am sorry for not being there for you with what happened with Stan and the rest, I’m sorry for “dying” and leaving you in a world where you feel alone and I was your tiniest ray of sunlight.

But, I think, I think that Louis you have got so further in your life without me being there. I have seen you and you have that smile on that really meant that you were happy the one that you only used to share with me and your family, and you have that smile because of Zayn and your new friends, but mostly its Zayn. You may not know it but I can tell from the way that he looks at you, that you really are his total world and that he would never hurt you. You may choose not to believe but I can read people well, and when I look at the way Zayn looks at you it’s like he’s seeing you for the first time.

You don’t have to believe let alone trust me but if you don’t choose to overlook whatever problems Zayn has or may have you are making a grave mistake and that will take a massive toll on your future.

Overlooking what I did to you, and what I made you feel could you ever forgive me? If you do ever find the heart me at me at the old tree in the corner of the school field at dusk tomorrow night, alone.
