Chapter 16:

HARRY

I woke up with a smile on my face, feeling nothing but happiness for once. I didn't feel sick. I didn't feel broken. I didn't even feel hopeless. I felt nothing but pure joy. And I knew why. Louis.

The night I had with Louis was amazing. I felt alive as we were dancing. I felt safe and loved. I never wanted the feeling to go away in that moment. He was everything I needed to feel whole, and saying goodbye when he left hurt a bit, but I was still a smiling mess. It was funny how he was in complete control of my heart.

After he was gone, I laid in bed with that same song on repeat, closing my eyes and just smiling at the memory of us dancing. I haven't laughed so much in so long. That's what Louis brought out of me. True happiness.

I got out of bed, not even minding the fact that I had to go back to work today. It was nothing compared to the happiness Louis instilled in me. I could last the day out. Anything to get my parents off of my back.

I got dressed for the day, I never really dressed up all fancy because I was just in a room all day long, and went to the kitchen to get something to drink and eat. I ended up just getting some tea and eating an apple before walking out of the door.

I was a bit shocked and confuzzled when I saw Louis' car parked in my driveway. He lowered the window and smiled at me. "Need a ride?" He asked, and I smiled right back. I didn't necessarily need a ride, but I would accept the offer to spend more time with Louis.

I nodded and walked to the car, getting into the passenger's seat. "Thank you." I said, closing the door behind me and getting my belt on. "Good morning, by the way. Why are you up and out this early?" I asked, just feeling at ease as Louis pulled out of the driveway and began to drive down the street.

"I have work soon. Coffee shops open pretty early." He informed me, and I nodded. "Now, which way is your office?" He asked, and I remembered that Louis had no clue.

"Oh, sorry. Just turn when I tell you to." I said, and Louis nodded but laughed. I looked at him with my eyebrows knitted together. "What's so funny?" I questioned.

"Remember what we talked about last night?" He asked. I did. I remembered everything about last night because it made me feel like I was flying. It made me forget about everything negative in the world, in my life, and just focus on that moment of joy and warmth. "You don't have to always apologize, Harry."

"Right, sor- I mean, okay." I said, stopping myself as he looked at me with a pointed look. "It's gonna take some getting use to I suppose. I think it's more of a courtesy thing." I said, thinking aloud.

"I'd say I agree. You're too nice at times. I mean, I love that about you, but I-" He stopped speaking as he realized what he said, and I looked at him, feeling so full of hope. I wanted Louis to still love me. I needed it more than air.

"I, um, I think sometimes you could be less passive and more assertive." He finished, looking straight, eventhough we came to a stop light. I didn't know if he was regretting anything, but I sure hope he wasn't.

"I know. It's just not in my nature to be. I hate hurting others or letting them down. I guess I'm the basic definition of a people pleaser." I said with a shrug, acting like it was no big deal, but that part of me completely consumed my life.
