THIRD PERSON'S POV

• Niall ~ Bold
• Louis ~ Italics

"I'm sorry Niall." Desperate.

"I understand Louis; it's alright." Pained.

"No, Ni it's not, what I'm asking from you is not alright at all." Frenetic.

"You want us to go to your family's dinner party as friends and nothing more yeah?" Defeated.

"Yes . . . but there's one more thing." Hesitant.

"Come out with it Lou." Anticipating.

"My parents are expecting me to bring my girlfriend along, my girlfriend of two years, whom I've told them about before." Sheepish.

"You told them that I am a girl?" Wounded.

"Yes." Anxious.

Unresponsive.

"Niall I'm sorry." Apologetic.

"Louis, why can't you just tell them? Isn't our relationship enough of a reason for you? I'm sorry, I just don't get it." Breathless.

"I can't Niall, they won't accept us. They won't accept me, and I don't think I would be able to handle their rejection." Urgent.

"Louis, I'll be with you through it all baby." Soothing.

"I'm sorry Niall, I just can't." Firm.

"Wait . . . so you have to take a girl with you, act like you've been dating her . . . while I sit and just watch?" Shocked.

"Yes." Blunt.

"And who did you pick?" Shaky.

"Diana." Nonchalant.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That girl already has a crush on you." Disbelieving.

"She was the first person that came to my mind." Defensive.

"Whatever, Louis." Done.

"Niall, please." Begging.

"Let's go Louis, we will be late." Disappointed.

"Niall wait." Pleading.

"You kissed her Louis, right in front of me, and her face lit up like a fucking Christmas tree, then the both of you basked under your parents' compliments." Betrayed.

"I had to make it believable." Frantic.

"Holding hands and a peck on the cheek was one thing, but kissing, that was blowing it way out of proportionality Louis." Stoic.

"I'm sorry." Dumbstruck.

"I'm sure you are." Monotone.

"Niall please keep on fighting for me." Tearful.

"I'm sorry Louis, but I'm just so tired." Weak.

"When did you find out about the . . . c-cancer?" Horrified.

"The night we went to your parents' dinner." Tired.

"No . . . oh my god no." Mortified.

"I'm sorry, Louis." Conciliatory.

"Niall, why were you so forgiving . . . so accepting? Why did you do all of that for me when I deserved none of it?" Obfuscated.

"I love you Louis, that's why." Explanatory.

"I love you too Niall, please don't leave me." Regretful.

"I can't do much about it Lou. It's out of my hands now, but if it were up to me, I would never leave you baby. I don't think I'm even capable of doing that because I love you too much to let you go." Pacified.

"I can't live without you." Scared.

"You've been practically doing that for so long now Lou. I was the one who depended on you. You'll be okay." Gentle.

"Fuck no Ni. I need you with me . . . I can't bear the world without you." Sobbing.

"You'll be okay baby. Please take care of yourself and try to forget about me. Forget the forever we talked about and start anew." Loving.

A steady beep.

Louis never knew what he had until it slipped right through his careless and now regretful grasp.
