Half a Heart

April P.O.V

It has been exactly five weeks, three days, and thirteen hours since the break-up. I haven't gotten over it. I'm still sobbing. Every day I see something that reminds me of Louis. Every day. It hurts so much, and I miss him so so much. I haven't talked to Alex since, and I don't plan on. Although personally I haven't heard anything about Louis, every gossip magazine I see shows a random girl leaving his house evry other day. Clearly, he's gotten over me. Frankly, no matter what he did I'd be willing to take him back any moment now. I keep on expecting a call from him or something, but nothing happens. My whole world is being consumed by his absence. I can't take it anymore. One sleepless night, I call Liam.

"Hello." I whisper.

"April? Oh my god hi." I understand his surprise. I haven't talked to any of them since before the whole break thing.

"Hi."

"Do you-do you want to talk to Louis?"

"No. If he had wanted to talk to me he would've called. Clearly he wants nothing to do with me."

"April trust me, he misses you. He spends half his time sulking in his room."

"Well then I guess he spends the other half shagging random girls he picks up at a pub." I mutter, and Liam just sighs.

"April please you have to believe me. Those are just rumours. He hasn't gotten over you. He's not even angry anymore. Trust me, if he wasn't so proud then he would be crawling at your doorstep."

"Liam look I'm over him okay?" That's a lie.

"April we both know that's not true. If you want I could get him to go and see you! Maybe-" But I didn't let him finish.

"No Liam! I can't. I'm not strong enough not yet. Look I gotta go. Bye Liam."

I hung up and went back to what I was doing before: crying.

Louis P.O.V.

It has been exactly five weeks, three days, and thirteen hours since the break-up. I haven't gotten over it. I'm still sobbing. Every day I see something that reminds me of April. Every day. It hurts so much, and I miss her so so much. I wish she would take me back, but with how I acted it I doubt she would forgive me. I wish we hadn't fought. I wish I haden't asked for a break. But above all, I wish that that guy hadn't kissed her. My life has been a mess without April. I can't deal with this anymore. I have to se her. I have to. I miss her so much. Before I know it, I'm in my car and driving towards her house.

"April." I breathe out as she opens the door.

"Louis." Her voice cracks and my eyes begin to water as well.

"I'm so sorry." I choke out.

"Oh honey I'm sorry. I miss you so much and I'm sorry. This was all my fault." She's full on crying and all I want to do is gather her up in my arms and make her tears go away. But I restrained myself.

"It's okay sweetie it was my fault. You did nothing wrong." Suddenly, she crashes into me and wraps her arms around me. We loose our balance and fall against the wall. It feels as if the world disappears, and all that's left is her and I.

"Let's just call it a tie. It's both of our faults. We are both stupid stupid people who love each other very much and screwed up big-time." She chuckles and suddely I am too. And then we are laughing with tears in our eyes. And I look at her and I whisper, "I love you so much." 

And she says, "I love you more." And we go to her bed and just lay there, holding each other. My arms around her and her legs tangled up in mine. And we talk. About everything.

And suddenly she asks, "Louis why did you come over today?"

And I say, "Because frankly I was lost without you. Instead, it's like I was waking up to only half a blue sky. Like kind of there but not quite. Like walking around with just one shoe, I was half a heart without you." She burst out laughing.

"Oh god Louis did you just quote your own song? You're so lame." April is still giggling softly and I can't help but smile.

"Yeah I may be lame but you still love me."

"Yeah I still love you. I'm so happy we are back together. I really did miss you, babe."

"I missed you too honey. But really, I was a mess without you." She looked up at me smiling and a while after I heard slight snores coming from her. Soon after, I fell asleep too.

I woke up and April wasn't there. I panicked and thought that maybe everything had just been a dream. april and I weren't back together. Thankfully, I  soon heard a kettle on the oven and was reassured. I softly stepped downstairs and crept up behind April wrapped my arms around her. She gave a slight jump and squealed and I pecked her lips. I had missed this. Just us relaxing and kissing every once in a while. With no care in the world.

"Hi babe." I whispered in her ear.

"Hi honey. I made us some tea. Why don't you pick out a movie and I'll be right there." I nodded and walked towards the living room. After looking for a movie I settled on Finding Nemo. I love this movie.

"You would pick this movie." April giggled as she sat next to me and handed me my cup.

I gave her a kiss on the cheek and replied, "You know it."

For the remainder of the day we talked and watched movies and made out. A lot. Then we fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms.
