Harry POV

Louis looked back at me, he was sitting with his legs dangling in the small pond under the waterfall. His eyes were red and puffy and I could tell that he had been crying. Not like we all hadn't with Liam in the hospital and me and One Direction was truly falling apart. As much as none of us want to admit it, we all are thinking it. One Direction is falling apart and it has been for a while. Its been a long time coming, starting with Vanessa ruining everything a year and a half ago. And Liam and Zayn sending mixed signals to each other until Zayn decided to propose and then Liam going to the hospital and aparently proposing to a girl he definitely doesn't love...? Yeah, it's been a long time coming. I knew the fans couldn't see what was going on, they would be heartbroken, if they weren't already with Zayn getitng married and I'm sure they've already heard about Liam and Jenna because that's Jenna's personality to tell people. So they are already heartbroken and its out job as a band to pull ourselves back together. And we will... eventually. "Hey Lou." I said, trying not to make it awkward towards the fact he was crying a second ago. "Hey Harry." Louis said with a crack in his voice. "Things are tough, I know. It's alright." I said trying to calm him down and reasuure him. "I'm always here, Louis." I told him because I knew that's what he needed to hear. When all I wanted to do was crawl up into a little ball and die. Die because Louis doesn't love me, die because I've messed up my life, die because it seems to be the next thing coming for One Direction. Louis weakly smiled at me and looked down towards the water, analyzing his reflection. I knew he would want to be left alone, but I didn't want to go. So I stayed there next to him reassuringly and put in my earbuds, looking for an escape. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri came on and I closed my eyes, soaking in the lyrics and thinking about Louis. The song really fit the way I was feeling about him, the way I wanted to die and the way I really have died inside. Eyes closed, I let my thoughts wander as the song played on.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone?

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Louis. That's all I could think about. And that was okay. For once I just let myself think about him. It was painful but I knew he was still there right beside me. We may not be boyfriends but he's still my best friend and I still love him. I will always love him. Just like the song says, I have loved him for a thousand years and I will love him for a thousand more. But it's alriht. He doesn't love me, no. But that's something I'm just going to have to learn to deal with. And maybe one day he will decide he loves me too. Maybe. Maybe one day I will show him he loves me. Show him why he has to love me. But I'm not giving up on Louis. I knew that nothing could separate us. I looked over to him and he was still staring intently at his reflection in the pond, obviously worried and thinking pretty hard. "Louis what's wrong." I said finally willing to talk. "Nothing, Haz. Don't worry about it." He said and I kinda stood there in shock. "H-Haz?" I said taken aback by the fact that he used that nickname. He hasn't said it since we broke up. I looked at him and his eyes widened, finally realizing what he said. "I-I'm sorry Harry it slipped... Sorry." He said weakly, tears forming at the brim of his eyes. "No, Louis its fine I like it. Seriously. Don't let that get you upset." I said sympathetically. "It's not that, Harry. I just need a bit of time to think. I will text you later and maybe we could watch a movie or something to help clear our minds from Liam and stuff." He said and gave me a weak smile. I smiled weakly back and started walking back towards my car. I was really worried about Louis and what do I do when I worry? I drink. So that's exactly what I did. I went straight to the bar and got wasted. Maybe Louis texted me... I don't even know. I also happened to lose my phone somewhere within the time I was at the bar and got home safely into my bed, though I don't quite remember why or how. 

Louis POV

So I really have to marry Eleanor. Well, sorta. Basically what Vanessa said is we have to do a ceremony and such but we aren't going to legally be binded in marriage, obviously. She said the minister and everything would be an actor and the rest we have to do. She also said she was going to call Eleanor later and I couldn't say a think to El about it until she called. She also said she picked out a ring and Eleanor would be wearing it around to get it spotted in photos until next week when it would be officially announced. Wow, three proposals in a week... the fans must be going crazy. But I seriously wasn't thinking about that right now. I was thinking about Harry and how i rudly shoved him away before. I got out my phone and texted him, wanting to go see a movie and maybe pretend like it was old times again. Maybe for a moment we could forget about our lives now when we are Harry and Louis of One Direction, the most famous boyband on the planet, and pretend we still are HarryAndLouis, that cute couple that's from that band formed on that show.

Maybe.

But Harry hasn't texted me back and I'm worried.

I drove around for a while until I saw his car parked outside a bar on one of the side streets of London. I went inside to find Harry basically passed out at the bar. "I'm just going to take him home." I said to the bartender who was telling Harry he couldn't have anymore drinks and he needed to leave. 

I took him into my car, deciding to get his car tomorrow, and drove him to his flat. I undressed him to his breifs and put him in bed, him too out of it to protest or even take notice, and I stripped to the breifs too, holding a now crying Harry in my arms as we drifted off to sleep, Harry muttering my name over and over was the last thing I remembered before drifting off.

A/N: So this was a filler I hope you aren't mad. Tomorrow I should be updating too, as promised, so be ready!!!! And sorry the font changed halfway through, idek what happened. And Wattpad is being annoying to me rn so bear with me. Also, I wrote this at 11:30 after a crazy long week with school so it isn't my best. But don't think this is normal, this was a filler everyone. Btw I always put the songs featured in the chapter (and if there isn't one I find one) on the side as well as a cute gif so check that out.
