*2 years later*
Haz: you want to come over?
Lou: can't, Emily and I are seeing a movie
Haz: oh, let me know know if you want to sometime
Lou: sure thing
Harry flung his phone down on his bed and ran his hand through his head of curls. Louis hadn't been over for a month at least. Emily seemed to be separating louis and his friendship. She was a nice girl, but Harry didnt want to lose louis.
Harry decided he could either tell louis he felt left behind, even though louis was 2 years older than him and didnt even have to be friends with Harry in the first place. Yeah he wouldn't tell louis. that would be best.
Maybe he should get some more friends his age. He had a few friends in his grade, but louis had always been his closest friend.
Harry internally struggled with himself as to if he should find a new best friend or wait for louis to come back to him.
But louis might never come back, then he would be best friend less. He decided to get a new best friend.
But right at that time, the door bell rang.
"Harry!" his mum called "Its louis!"
Harry's heart skipped a beat at his friends name, and he ran down the stairs 2 at a time.
"Hi lou-" Harry cut his sentence off out of pure shock. louis face was red and his eyes looked puffy and wet.
"Hi haz" louis smiled softly and walked over to the stairs. "can we go up?"
"Yeah!" Harry ran up the stairs, louis following slowly behind. They plopped down on Harry's bed and louis laid down on his back.
"Is everything okay?" harry asked, concerned.
"Well..not exactly." louis sighed, continuing to stare at the ceiling. his eyes tracing the pattern of the colors.
"What's wrong?" harry leaned forwards to his friend to listen better.
"I broke up with Emily." louis managed to get out.
"What?" silent relief washed over Harry, but he would never tell louis that. "why?"
"I didn't feel right...i just needed to." louis rubbed his eyes with his fists.
"Why are you so sad then?" harry laid down beside louis.
"I'm not sure... I just am." louis stared blankly upwards.
"I'm sorry." Harry wrapped louis in a warm hug. His stomach ached and for a second Harry thought he would have to run to the bathroom.
"Thanks." louis mumbled into Harry's shirt, which was now damp. Harry didn't understand much about relationships, but he knew louis needed time to feel better.
"Do you want to stay the night?" harry asked gently. louis nodded and they laid there like that, louis head in Harry's shoulder, for a good half hour.
