harry sighs as he thinks back to that dreadful day... and blinks back the tears, threatening to spill over his wrinkled face.

flashback:

harry walks down the familiar lane.
he hurries past mrs. hutch's house, which was now no longer a house, but a mess.

the war has surely taken its toll. harry thinks as he prays to whoever is listening, to keep his louis safe and sound.

unlocking the door of his and louis' house, harry finds that nothing else is out of place. thank god. louis hadn't replied, so he had rushed straight to cheshire. to his home.

but even though nothing looks suspicious, harry has a terrible inkling that something is wrong. too wrong.

its too quiet. no sound. nothing. its like life has come to a standstill. the once merry house, now seems dull and.. and lifeless...

a knock startles harry out of his thoughts. he whips his head so fast, that its a miracle that his neck didn't break.

all his hopes, that maybe louis had gone out for a walk, hell, even grocery shopping, are shattered.

when he sees, that it is not louis, but zayn. he had contacted zayn, when he had finally received louis' letters. zayn hadn't told him anything, no matter how much he asked.

"zayn, thank god. i was fucking terrified! i thought something happened--" harry says, but breaks off into a coughing fit.

there is some time of quiet, when harry calms down.

zayn looks like he wants to run away, but he steps forward. stills harry by a hand on his shoulder, and utters those words which break harry.it kills him. take his breath away.

"i'm s-sorry. harry, he is n-no more. he k-killed h-himself." zayn stutters out. and he steadies harry when he falls to the ground. letting out the most melancholic sobs and wails zayn has ever heard. heart shattering screeches as he mourns over the loss of his love.

"b-but, no! he was s-supposed to wait! to w-welcome me h-home. he can't! he just can't! he can't leave me alone..." harry trails off, sounding completely broken.

zayn couldn't do anything... he himself missed louis, even though he didn't know him. he was a constant in the post office.

flashback over.

harry had never married again, of course. he had tried to commit suicide but, liam, his fellow soldier friend, had unfortunately found him, and 'saved him'.

harry had tried to again, on their anniversary. but he was again stopped, but by zayn.

so he had stopped trying. but he never lived. always reminiscing their loving memories. he visited louis' grave everyday. he even wanted to stay there, but was kicked out by the sweeper.

so, now as he lays on his deathbed, harry smiles for the first time after louis' death. he is going to be with louis. finally.

'after all this time, it will finally be you and i. i love you louis.' harry smiles for the last time, as he lays peacefully. clutching the photograph of their marriage.

i hope you all liked it. it's sad that
miscommunication and jealousy can lead to such great sorrow.
