Words echoed in Harry's mind ad he stared at Louis laying on the hospital bed.
"I'm sorry to inform you, he's no more. He was way too weak. Almost as if he hadn't eaten for a long time and he lost way too much blood. We couldn't save him."
He was gone.
He was dead.
He left a broken Harry behind.
A sob left Harry's mouth.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, Lou! I should've paid more attention! I'm so so so sorry!"
He kissed Louis's hands, then his forehead, then his cheeks, and finally his lips.
Harry's tears fell on Louis's lifeless face.
Harry wrapped his arms around his lifeless body and hugged him closer to him.
He put his face in his neck. Just kept on repeating 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry' like a mantra.
He finally pulled back and saw his best friend's face.
He took off his wedding ring and threw it away.
He leaned and whispered in his ear, "Nothing can come between you and I. We'll meet soon my love."
