•LILAH P.O.V•

"Would it be okay if I take Darcy out for the day?" Anne questioned. Since Harry is at the studio with Zayn. Niall is hanging with his brother. Liam is with Danielle. And now Darcy is going to be with Anne for the day. That leaves me with nothing to do.

"Sure." I smiled. "I'll get her ready!" I ran upstairs after my baby girl. I found her playing in my makeup in the bathroom.

"Darcy Ann Styles." I warned. She looked up with pleading eyes, pink eyeshadow all over her lids.

"Sorry mama."

"We need to get this of your face, Grandma is taking you out today." I went to the cubbard under the sink and grabbed the makeup remover wipes. I quickly began to wipe it off of her face. In a matter of seconds, her face was clear. "There. Now let's get you out of your pajamas." I carried her into her room and put her down on the bed. I took out purple jeans and a purple and white striped shirt. I helped her into them and began on her hair. I just did a simple French braid. Boom. Done.

"C'mon mommy!" Darcy squealed. I rushes down the stairs after her. I remember that I have to decorate her room soon. Hmm. She would like it purple.

"Go tell Grandma that you're ready." She nodded. I heard Anne mumbling about where they were going. I heard the front door quietly shut, signaling that I was finally alone.

The silence was eerie, creepy almost. My mind wandered to Harry. I feel bad for him, I'm over here moping about how horrible it is for me. Harry is the one who has leukemia. I am so selfish. I'm thinking all about me, when I'm not even the one sick. I'm a horrible wife.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I instantly pulled it out.

'LouBear: 'Do u mind if I stop by to see the new house? I haven't seen it yet.'

Me: 'You know I don't mind(:'

LouBear: 'K. B there soon.'

Me: 'KK(:'

I shoved my phone back into my back pocket. I headed downstairs to the kitchen, it was noon-ish and I was pretty hungry.

After looking around in the cabinets for something to make, I realized that there was absolutely nothing to make. I guess I could wait until Louis gets here. He doesn't live that far away, only a few minutes. Yeah, that's a good idea.

I faintly heard the back door open.

'Speak of the devil.' I thought to myself.

"HONEY IM HOME!" Louis yelled running inside. I couldn't help by laugh, typical Louis. Whenever I was sad, or felt low, Louis was my savior. Of all the years I've known him, he's never failed to put a smile on myself.

"Hey, Lou." I smile as I let him through the door. He walks in and takes off his normal blue toms.

"Woah! It's beautiful, Lil." He compliments.

"Thank you." I say. I show him around the house until we end up in the kitchen, reminding me how hungry I actually was.

"You hungry?" I ask. Louis nods, I look in the freezer one more time and find a a carton of Death By Chocolate ice cream, I take it out and place it on the counter. I take out to spoons and motion for Louis to sit down next to me.

"Ice cream it is!" I cheer.

"Mm, I love it!" Louis says with chocolate all over his face.

"You're such a child!" I laugh.

"You know it." Louis winks.

"How's Harry?" Louis asks. My heart stops for a minute, I didn't want him to bring up Harry.

"Um, he's alright right now. I think the medicine is working, he's having bone marrow treatment next week. And if that doesn't work, then we have to start Chemotherapy."

"I'm sorry." He says quietly.

"Stop." "I'm so tired of being told I'm sorry." I add.

"Oh, listen. I know you don't want pity but I'm trying here. I feel like the odd one out right now with the whole Harry and Eleanor thing.. But I am trying Lilah." Louis admits.

"I know, Lou. I'm just sick of it. You know? I don't want pity, I want Harry to make it through. And he's not going to with pity." I say.

"Yeah, I get it." He says, scratching his head.

"I missed you." I admit.

"You did?" He whispers.

"Yeah. I don't have a close relationship with any of the boys besides you."

"Oh." Louis sighs.

Louis stands up and kneels in front of me. He wraps his arms around me in a comforting way. I breath in deeply, not wanting to cry. I can't cry. I look into his blue eyes that look so sad, and tired. So tired.

"I lost her too, Lilah." His voice cracks, Eleanor. I look down a his lips as they move.

"I'm sorry, Lou." I whisper. He gets closer to me until his lips are just lingering over mine. This is wrong. I can't do this. But something isn't letting me pull away.

He presses his lips to mine gently, and I can't help but kiss him back. His salty tears mix with my emotion as they drip onto my lips, my lips that should be shouting for him to stop. But my emotions are playing with my voice, my voice that's now lost in the horizon because of this sad, sorrowful kiss with a man who's not my husband.
