Louis' POV *next day*
"Morning Lou" Olivia yawned rolling to face me
"morning" I continued staring at the roof without even givin her a glance
"what's up?" Olivia asked
"nothing" I faked a smile "just tired is all"
saying 'nothing' was a lie but saying 'I'm tired' was partly true because I hadn't slept at all last night. The talk between Harry and I last night was still confusing me
"is this about Haz?" Livvy questioned
"that obvious?" I raised an eyebrow
"Louis you've got to ignore him" she sighed "he obviously doesn't want to be your friend"
"I know but-"
"rise and shine!" Niall bounded into the bedroom "wakey,wakey, sleeping beauties!"
"shut up leprechaun" I threw a pillow at Niall
Niall pouted and threw it back at me, hitting me square in the face
"IM NOT A LEPRECHAUN YOU MEANIE!" Niall threw an absolute strop
"Niall I was kidding" I tried
"I'm not even short!" he snapped "I'm the same height as you!"
"sorry?" it was more of a question
"rrrrr" Niall balled his fists at his sides "no wonder Harry is annoyed at you"
"oh grow up" Olivia rolled her eyes
"yes ma'am" Niall bowed his head "sorry ma'am"
Olivia scrunched her eyebrows together as Niall bounded happily back out the room
"he called you ma'am" I laughed
"shut up"
"yes ma'am" I mocked her "sorry ma'am"
"Louis I swear to-"
"yes ma'am" I taunted
"why you-"
she reached over to grab me but I bolted out of the bedroom. Olivia came running after me and I ran fast as I could to kitchen.
"Harry are you cooking?!" I shouted
I got no response so I ran to Harry and began to pound on the door. I had to open the door myself and I shut it behind me, pressing my back against the wood to stop Olivia from getting in... that's when I realised, Harry wasn't here.
"Harry?" I called out
I searched the room high and low and when I checked his cupboard I saw it was empty. I checked his drawers and under his bed too... not even a hoody was there.
I ran to the window and opened it up, sticking my head out and yelling in a panicky tone
"Harry?!" I shouted outside his bedroom window
I waited. and I waited. and I waited... but he never responded and I never saw him
the bedroom door burst open and Olivia was fuming
"he really left" my eyes began to burn from me forcing back my tears
"Lou?" Olivia's voice softened
"he left me" I let go of the window sill "I-I didn't think he was serious"
"Louis what are you talking about?" Olivia tilted her head
my breathing pattern began to change. I quickly began to lose oxygen and my breaths became louder, as I was desperate for air but no matter how deeply I breathed, my lungs wouldn't allow anything in
"my. inhaler" I rasped
"LIAM GET LOUIS' INHALER!!!" Olivia screamed
footsteps began to go through the house, each one echoing a thud inside my head. soon Niall and Zayn stood beside Olivia watching me struggle to breathe and later than I'd liked, Liam came running with my puffer
I tore it from his grip and pressed down, breathing in each puff if medicated air. I kept going, knowing that this was probably too much but.... I didn't care.
"Louis stop now" Liam battle to get the inhaler back
I key puffing and he finally tore it from my grip
"what's goin on?" Niall asked
"Harry" I gulped "he's gone"
"what do you mean gone?" Liam questioned
"he told me he quit" I let tears fall
"he can't quit though" Zayn said "not without clearance from management, we've all signed a contract that says we belong to them"
"m-maybe he'll c-com back?" I stammered
"they'd never say yes" Zayn smiled "they think Harry's the Jesus of the band"
"right" Liam agreed "he may be gone now but he'll be back. management needs him here, he won't be going anywhere anytime soon"
I wiped my eyes and walked downstairs. I turned on the TV and E! News was on already. I decided to watch just in case but after almost an hour I began to fall asleep
'Rumor has it, that the curly haired ladies man Harry Styles has quit his band One Direction'
I snapped awake and gulped
'earlier this morning Harry was seen walking to management alone, looking quite angry. As he left a fan approached him saying she loved him.But, instead if getting a positive reply from her British idol he shouted at her, claiming she was a nuisance and now irrelevant to his fame!'
"GUYS HARRY IS ON!" I shouted
everyone came running down and stood behind the couch, resting a hand each somewhere on me for comfort. they knew I was sensitive
'we're positive that Harry hadn't gone to stop the lock down on Larry Stylinson so the only other option is quitting'
"Management wouldn't" Liam whispered to himself
'soon after Harry's departure he moved in his car to a hotel without any body guards. this can't be good'
"what if they said yes?" I asked quietly
Liam changed the channel, trying to cheer me up I think but that did NOT work
'this just in!' a girl squeaked 'Harry Styles from One Direction has called it quits-'
channel was changed again
'Harry Styles from One Direction has-'
'One Direction's Harry Styles has quit-'
'Has Harry called it quits-'
'Harry Styles-'
Liam sighed with relief at the next channel
'Pince Harry has been up to mischief again' the man said 'he had another nude party with pictures taken, go to www.3News.co.us'
'On the topic of Harry's a woman took over 'it has been confirmed that after three years of music, awards, money, fame and fun. Harry Styles has quit One Direction. I repeat, Harry Styles has quit One Direction'
that was it. that's what crushed me... my best friend had gotten permission to leave and now, there was no One Direction. we were all normal again
"no" Liam pleaded
'we had a talk with Harry's management who claimed that Harry was not happy in the position he currently was and he begged them to let him leave'
"H-how could they say yes?" Niall whimpered
"niall-"
"WE ALL SWORE WE WOULD NEVER LEAVE!" Niall cut off Zayn
"Niall calm down" Zayn hugged him tightly "it's okay"
"I hate him" Niall began to cry "how could he do this to us?"
'basically Harry just came in this morning and threw a tantrum when we said he couldn't leave' management came on 'after a good fifteen minutes of his strop we decided that if he wanted to be free... he could be free. we're not sure why he wanted to leave but he mentioned Louis and the other boys refusing to leave him alone. after he said he wasn't mad at the other boys... only Louis because he picked someone else over his best friend'
Liam gasped
'I'm afraid that One Direction has now broken up' management summed up 'Louis has also quit, so has Liam, and Zayn... Niall hasn't though and if they all can't agree on staying together then we can't force it'
"That isn't true!" Liam shouted
Zayn shut his eyes, he was crying now too. Niall was blubbering and whimpering and Liam had begun to cry softly. I was in shock. my eyes were glassy but not even a stray year left my eyes... I wouldn't allow it. I felt empty already, I would lose all the boys and only have Olivia... that's if Liam would let me keep seeing her
there was a knock at the door. we all prayed it was Harry and he'd changed his mind
"Liam, Louis, Niall, Zayn, Olivia" an unfamiliar voice spoke
I got the door and when I saw Harry's dad my face fell
"I'm afraid you all have to go home as soon as possible" Harry's dad said "I was given your tickets-"
"thank you sir" I took the five from his hand
"I knew someday you boys would leave but... I never thought it would be my son" his dad sighed "and I never thought it'd be because of you Louis"
"is Harry with you?" I asked
his dad nodded and I pushed past him, running to the car. Harry sat in the back and I yanked open the door the dove inside, crushing Harry in a hug
"I'm sorry" I finally began to cry "I'm so, so sorry. please don't go Harry, please"
"get off me" Harry said harshly
"You can't quit Boo" I pleaded "we need you"
"piss off-"
"I need you" my voice broke
Harry looked out the window and gave me the cold shoulder
"you can't leave me Boo" I tried "you can't leave the band... I'm nothing without you"
"Louis I can't be in the band!" Harry shouted
"why not?" I asked
"you've got a girlfriend" Harry whispered
"I know that you like her-"
"I don't!" Harry protested "not anymore anyway"
"then why are you leaving?" I asked
"because. I like someone else" Harry gulped
"who?"
"I can't tell you... or anybody" Harry sighed
"I'm your best friend... I won't tell anyone-"
"Louis leave me alone"
"Harry-"
"Fine. I still like her!" Harry hissed "but she lead me on! she kissed me!"
"quit trying to make me angry with her Harry" I rolled my eyes
"fine!" he spat "but get away from me!"
"you cannot go" I grabbed his collar and pulled him so close to me that our foreheads touched "you promised me you'd never leave me or the others... you said you'd stay forever"
"I changed my mind" Harry lowered his voice
"no you didn't" I disagreed "you lied to us... you lied to me"
"Louis-"
"you can't leave over a girl" I whispered angrily
"I'm leaving because of you" Harry said
"what did I do?" I snapped "I did nothing!"
"it's not what you did" Harry sighed "It-It's what I did to you"
"I don't care that you hit me" I gave him pity
"Louis I can't control my anger... I'm obviously a danger-"
"we love you Hazza" I whimpered "all of us... Liam does, Zayn does, Niall does, Olivia does... I do too"
"yeah right"
"I do Harry I promise" I tried "you're like my big brother!"
"I'm younger than you"
"so?" I asked "you act older than I do"
"that still wouldn't mean-"
"fine, you're like my little brother" I decided "but you see? I don't have any brothers and like Liam said now I've got four but... if you leave I only have three"
"three is better than none isn't it?"
"we all gotta go home Haz" I began to cry "Liam will take Olivia with him y'know? what do I do without her?"
"forget about her"
"I'm already losing you Harry... and Liam, Zayn, Niall" I listed "I can't lose my family... I can't go back to that monster she'll hurt me"
"you don't have to live with her"
"I can't live alone!" I cried "I can't cook, I can't clean... I'm a lousy guy Harry! me living alone is like you being a 40 year old Virgin!"
"too late" Harry gave a small smile
"exactly!" I had to laugh a little
"Lou... I'm sorry" Harry sighed
"I'm going to miss you" I hugged him once more "so much... it's crazy"
"I'll miss you too" Harry whispered
"I'd kiss you but you're a guy" I joked
"we could do it anyway" Harry laughed
"I'm not kissing you" I laughed with him
Harry kissed my forehead and I let my eyes shut. this was really it... he was really leaving.
"alright Louis you've got to get out"
"no" I said stubbornly
in the next fifteen minutes Harry's dad was tugging my ankles while I screamed and cried, hanging into Harry
"Louis let go" Harry struggled
"I don't want to lose you!" I shouted through pain
"I hate you!" Harry shouted
my eyes snapped open in shock, my grip loosened and I was pulled out the car
"I-I" I stammered "h-how could you?"
"I don't ever want to see you again!" Harry shouted
"you're lying!"
"you're a baby and you won't ever grow up" Harry growled
"I hate you so much" I burst into tears "I really thought you were my friend"
"come on Louis" his dad took me back to my ex band members "Harry and I have to leave, you do too soon. you all should start packing"
I sniffled as Harry and his dad drove away
"I can still twitter him right?" I asked
"yeah but... he won't be verified" Zayn nodded "none of us will"
"I can't believe this is over" Niall said quiet as a mouse "I was the first from mullingar to have this happen but... it ended so soon"
"we should all go pack guys" I said "Harry's dad is right, we leave in a few hours"
so we all went upstairs and packed our bags. A black car took us to the airport and we didn't get any body guards. no fans mobbed us but we could tell who was and wasn't a fan by their expressions and parents words. little girls maybe aged three were crying and their parents only called us a band. older girls were talking about us and staring as we sat in the same area as them, waiting for each of us to board our plane
'flight 217 now boarding, please go to gate 7'
"bye guys" I said to Olivia and Liam as they stood up
"bye Lou" Liam hugged me "we'll keep in contact right? through twitter?"
"and Skype" I agreed
"bye" Olivia seemed gutted
"Bye" I hugged her "I'm gonna miss you"
"don't forget about me okay?"
"I love you" I whispered "so much"
"I love you too okay?" Olivia asked "if you're keeping in contact with my brother then you're keeping I'm contact with me too"
I nodded and kissed her hard. this could be the last time we're face to face and I wanted to make the most of it.
"bye" I whimpered when they both walked away
I sat down and noticed Niall and Zayn were holding hands
"we're gonna miss her too y'know" Niall spoke for both him and Zayn
"yeah you guys liked her too"
"we moved on Louis" Zayn smiled
"really?" I asked "that was quick"
"I guess" Niall looked at Zayn with a smile
"it wasn't hard" Zayn shrugged "they say it is but... that's just a load of crap"
'flight 413 to Bradford is boarding now, please make your way to gate 3'
Zayn, Niall and I all stood.
"bye mate" I hugged Zayn
"bye" Zayn hugged me back
I stood back for Niall and Zayn but they never hugged
"don't leave" Niall begged
"you know I gotta" Zayn stroked Niall's cheek
"what do I do?" Niall asked
"just be Niall" Zayn smiled
"how can I be Niall?" he asked "without Zayn?"
this caught me by surprise. Had I been missing something this entire time
"we'll twitter still" Zayn seemed sad
"and Skype?" Niall asked
"and snapchat" Zayn nodded "and Instagram, and kik... the lot"
"I'm gonna miss you a lot" Niall said quietly
"I reckon I'm gunna miss you more" Zayn put a second hand on Niall's face
"if you're going to kiss me hurry the hell up" Niall said impatiently
Zayn laughed but then his eyes seriously did flicker to Niall's lips
I felt everything in my body freeze when they kissed. how had I never even seen this coming? how had every single one of is missed this? they were the closest in the band off camera!
"guys" I said nervously
but they just kept kissing. and kissing. and kissing... this could not be happening. this had to be a nightmare.
"I love you Ni" Zayn kissed Niall's forehead "okay?"
"okay" Niall nodded
"hey..." Zayn hushed Niall and wiped his tears with his thumbs "you don't need to cry"
"I want to come with you" Niall whimpered
"maybe I'll come to Mullingar yeah?" Zayn offered "I could meet your folks as your boyfriend instead of your band mates"
I was past ready to pass out. I was feeling pretty light headed already... since when were these two even gay?
"but if you come" Niall gulped and grabbed Zayn's hands "you're not allowed to leave"
"Niall we I have to go home-"
"without me" Niall finished
"what?"
"you're not allowed to leave without me" Niall gave a shy smile
"deal" Zayn smiled back
"can you go now?" Niall asked quietly
"why do you want me gone all of a sudden?" Zayn laughed
"because this is hard" Niall whispered "and if it's any harder I'm probably not going to let go of you"
"alright" Zayn nodded "I'll go"
I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited... But Zayn didn't leave
'this is the last call for flight 413 to Bradford please go to gate 3, this is the last call'
"I should go now" Zayn's smile disappeared
"text me when you land?" Niall asked
"course" Zayn nodded and let go of Niall's hands
Zayn took his suitcase and wheeled it away, heading right into hate three
"Wait!" Niall shouted running to Zayn
I watched silently as Zayn stopped. Niall wrapped his arms around Zayn and leant up to his ear
'I love you too' I managed to read his lips
Zayn smiled big and the two kissed again. Zayn pulled off his lucky ring and handed it to Niall. Zayn left again, for real this time and I watched Niall stand still. he ignored the people watching him and the dirty look he received from the attendants and the security.
I knew he wouldn't be coming back to me so I decided to go to him
"s'okay leprechaun" I put my arm round him "you two will talk"
"I don't want him to go" Niall bowed his head
"I know" I nodded "neither do I"
"I regret it" Niall hugged me tightly and began to cry
"regret what?" I asked
"saying no to him" Niall sobbed "I didn't think this would end so soon!"
"wait a sec... he wanted to... y'know-"
"yeah" Niall looked up at me and his usually ocean eyes looked like glass. thin, fragile and already broken "and I said no b-because there was p-plenty of t-time"
"since when are you and him together anyway?" I asked
"since after I kissed Livvy" Niall snivelled
"why didn't you tell any of us?" I asked
"I saw how you reacted to us kiss Louis" Niall whispered "do you really think we're that disgusting?"
"not at all, I just... I didn't exactly see it coming is all" I partly lied "it took me by surprise"
"you cringed"
"okay I thought it was a little gross" I confessed "but who cares what I think? what matters is that you two are happy and you are both willing to try, despite idiots like me deciding that it's disgusting"
"you mean that?"
"you two are the best friends a guy could ask for" I nodded with an honest smile "even if I don't completely agree with homosexuality I support you guys... 100%."
"thanks Louis that really means a lot" Niall smiled
"you told Liam though right?" I asked
Niall shook his head
"Harry?"
again, Niall shook his head
"why not?" I asked
"I was scared Liam would think its yuck and... Harry might be a homophobe?"
"rubbish" I laughed
"he told me he was" Niall said defensively "so I didn't risk it"
"well I'm sure Liam would be happy that you've finally got someone in your life Niall" I said honestly "I'm proud of you"
"you're kidding?"
"I'm" I smiled "I'm proud of you because you've decided what you've wanted and your fighting for it"
"you've got to keep in contact with me too though" Niall said
"I'll only DM you on twitter though" I nodded "I wouldn't want to interrupt you Skyping your boyfriend"
Niall blushed with a shy smile and I laughed... till his flight was called
'flight 314 to Mullingar is now boarding, please make your way to gate 2'
"bye Louis" Niall sighed
"look on the bright side" I smiled "you've got the opposite of Zayn's flight number, the gate opposite to him and you're flying the other way... it's all back to front!"
Niall threw his arms round my shoulders and hugged me tightly. he began to cry again and I hugged him tightly back... if anyone couldn't handle the separation it was Niall. I knew that and so did everyone else
"bye buddy" I rubbed his back
"bye" he mumbled
I gave him his suitcase and he too made his way through the gate. I saw him sadly smile at gate 3 and wave... Zayn was obviously still there.
I stood alone. so many thing had happened in the time we had Olivia. Zayn had kissed her, Niall had kissed her, Harry had probably kissed her and I had kissed her... we all found a little piece of ourselves in Liam's sister.
Niall and Zayn had started dating for crying out loud! I was happy for them but in all honesty I wasn't quite sure about the whole gay business. I got a girlfriend too... ME! She was perfect, like her brother. only difference between the two is that She's the girl that I love.
we split up too... it's devastating but everything happens for a reason right? me and Harry basically broke up. that's how bummed I am about him saying he hates me but, I'm sure he only said it so I'd let go of him.
I say back at the table and unlocked my phone, then logged into Twitter. I went to Harry's profile and tweeted
@Louis_Tomlinson: You remember when you told me if I ever got lost you'd sail the sea to find me? now it's my turn @Harry_Styles
I sighed and clicked post the turned off my iPhone.
What if he didn't reply? I suppose it'd be better than him hatefully replying
my phone dinged saying Harry posted on Twitter. I unlocked my phone and began to smile
@Harry_Styles: Then make it quick find @Louis_Tomlinson
I had to reply. I missed him loads
@Louis_Tomlinson: I've pin pointed your location... we'll meet soon @Harry_Styles
then the next reply was a DM. it made me the happiest I'd ever been
'I love you too Boo bear' Harry messaged me
'flight 157 to Doncaster is now boarding, please make your way to gate 6'
I put my phone back into my pocket and made my way to the gate. As I boarded the plane I thought back to X Factor... when we all were put into a group.
Zayn had scared me, Zayn didn't like me. Harry and I had instantly become friends and so had Niall and Zayn. Liam fit in quite quickly and seemed to be a bit of all of us.
When we were first asked which bromance we shipped none of us shipped one we were involved with... except Niall. he'd held up the card with his and Zayn's names, perhaps he'd liked Zayn from the start and none of us had suspected a thing because Harry and I seemed just like those two... I
wonder if Harry had ever liked me?
I did one last tweet as the plane took off
@Louis_Tomlinson: it was fun while it lasted
----------
Oh God.... that was the last chapter. only a epilogue left I suppose. did anyone see Ziall coming at all? probably not because it was never mentioned. it was a last second decision to be honest... well be prepared for the epilogue!
