Forever Young (Sequel to 'Gotta Be Lou')

Prologue

I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile. I had to admit I looked good in my suit although I was already twenty-four. Oh my god. I’m getting old!

As I stood there, admiring myself in the mirror, I was thinking about everything that has happened in the past three years. And so fast! I all felt like it had just happened yesterday!

“It feels like we’ve been living in fast forward

Another moment passing by

The party’s ending but it’s now or never

Nobody’s going home tonight“, I started singing.

Up All Night still was my very favourite song although we’ve already five albums.

“Katy Perry’s on replay, she’s on replay

DJ got the floor to shake, the floor to shake

People going all the way, all the way

I’m still wide awake!“

That moment the door opened and Zayn came in. He smiled at me and nodded. “You’re looking good, dude.“

I laughed and nodded grateful. “Thanks, Zayn.“ Again I looked at the mirror. “I am really nervous, you know?“

Now it was Zayn’s turn to laugh. He came closer and pulled me into a hug. “Harry, everything’s gonna be alright, aye?“

I laughed. “You spent a lot time with Niall lately, huh? You’re Bradford accennt’s turning Irish.“

He grinned. “You’re right, I should be more at home. But Amelia and the kids… you know, it’s not easy. Emmaline doesn’t want to go to Bradford because the drive’s too long.“

I laughed. Emmaline was the youngest of the Malik family, although she was already one and a half year. “How is Amelia?“, I asked, thinking of her, being pregnant for the third time. The first time she got twins, James and Micheal. Then Emmaline and now another baby was on ist way.

Zayn nodded proudly. “She is great. But she needs to pee every fifth minute.“ He giggled and looked at the mirror now, too. Zayn hasn’t changed a bit. He still had that quiff in his hair, he didn’t cut his beard too often so he was all shaved like the rest of us. I couldn’t believe he was already father to three children. Soon four.

I smiled and the door opened again. This time Niall entered and smiled. He was eating, like always. He hasn’t changed either. Except for the quiff – he and Liam had one since… what, 2012? The fans were mental when they found out and it was quite amusing.

“How are you?“, Niall asked after he had swallowed.

I nodded and gulped. “Nervous, but great. Any advices?“

He grinned. “It’s really nothing to worry about. It’ll be the best day of your life, remember that. Louis loves you and you love him, too. That’s all that matters today.“

I nodded and took a deep breath. I looked at the guys once more. “Is everyone ready?“, I asked Niall.

He nodded and smiled. “I should go now, too? I’ll meet you outside.“

Zayn nodded, too. “You’ll do great, Harry. Everything’s gonna be alright. I’ll text you when it’s time to come out, okay?“

I nodded and hugged them both once more. “I seriously love you guys“, I murmured as they pulled back.

“Love you, too“, they smiled and went out.

I looked at the mirror again. I just wanted to look perfect today. I cleared my throat and looked over to my phone, just the moment it buzeed.

From: Zayn

Msg.: Come out :) It’s starting!

I took a deep breath and lie down my phone on a table. I wouldn’t need it now. I smiled proudly and opened the door.
