Can't Move On [Larry]

Chapter 2.5

Louis let out a not-so-manly scream as he fell out of bed, landing hard on his bum. He groaned in pain afterwards, cursing himself for rolling out of bed like that.

He cursed himself again when he realized he'd just pulled himself out of Harry's arms as they werea bout to kiss. He'd stopped thinking about Zayn, stopped thinking bouat Harry being real and just accepted what was about to happen.

That was ruined, now.

"Louis!" Zayn said, shocked. He got out of bed quickly and ran over to Louis, falling to his knees beside him. "Are you okay?"

Louis took one look at Zayn and began to cry. He felt a gaping hole in his heart like the one he felt when he first discovered Harry was dead.

"Louis!" Zayn said. He pulled Louis into his arms and held him, letting Louis cry into his chest. Zayn stayed silent for a while, just letting Louis cry it out.

"What happened?" Zayn asked, then, pulling back to look at Louis, He glanced down at Louis, who was tangled in blankets. "Are you hurt?"

"I just- I had a nightmare." Louis muttered, sniffling. A beautiful ightmare. "It's nothing, I'm-I'm sorry for crying, I don't know why I am."

"Don't apologize for crying." Zayn said, rubbing Louis' back. He pressed a kiss to Louis' temple, and Louis felt relieved again- almost. But being with Zayn didn't help the fact that he missed the fuck out of Harry. "Let it out, okay? I'm here, it's okay."

"It's early." Zayn looked at the clock. Louis looked at the clock. It was early- really early. 1:30 in the morning early.

"Yeah." Louis muttered. WIth Zayn's help, he got untangled from the blankets and stood back up. They both climbed back in bed after they got the blankets situated back on it.

"I love you." Zayn said, pressing a quick kiss to Louis' lips before he lay down, pulling Louis into his arms. Louis didn't feel relived anymore.

"I love you too." Louis mumbled out. Zayn pulled the covers close to their chins and they fell asleep like that- buried under covers and clinging to each other.

Louis lay there for three hours and sleep didn't come to him. Zayn was fast asleep at four o'clock int the morning but sleep wouldn't find Louis.

Louis made sleep find him. He closed his eyes and didn't open them until, finally, he fell asleep again- four thirty in the morning.

Louis didn't dream about Harry. He dreamed of practically nothing. Louis was hoping Harry would be in his dreams so he could run into the younger boy's arms and kiss him with everything he had. But Harry just wouldn't show. Harry wasn't there. Harry was gone.

This was a nightmare.

Toppling out of the room and onto the floor again, a second pain shot through Louis' back and another not-so-manly scream left his mouth.

"Louis!" Zayn said again, alarmed. He scrambled out of bed and to Louis' side again, pulling tangled blankets away from Louis' legs and pulling him to his feet again.

Liam came into the room as well, hearing Zayn shout. He looked at Louis and Zayn in concern. "What happened?"

"Louis keeps having nightmares." Zayn said, sitting Louis down. He took Louis' hand and held it, tangling their fingers together.

"Oh." Liam pouted, not sure what else to say or do. He sat next to Louis and wrapped an arm around the tiny boy's waist.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked. Louis nodded, leaning into Liam's side for a minute. Liam got up, then. "I'm gonna go back to bed now, okay?"

Liam looked at Louis before he left, giving Louis a small, reassuring smile. "You can talk to any of us, you know, if you want to."

Louis nodded. Liam left the room, and Louis and Zayn went back to bed. Louis didn't have any more nightmares, because he just layed in bed for a while, pretending to be asleep as to not concern any of the boys if they were to see him.

-

In the morning (when Zayn woke up adn 'woke' Louis up), Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn sat around and ate popcorn, watching Disney movies.

When afternoon rolled around, they played FIFA. Louis felt happy for once, sitting around with all the boys and being relaxed without the worry of interviews and concerts and just doing things without Harry there. He wasn't even thinking about that.

It's 9:00, now, and they're all sat around eating pizza. They're watching something on the telly and not really talking or looking at each other.

Niall began singing all of a sudden. "My heart's a stereo.

It beats for you so listen close.

Hear my thoughts in every note.

Make me your radio.

Turn me up when you feel low.

This melody was meant for you.

Sing along to my stereo.

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

To my stereo

Oh oh oh oh

Just sing along to my stereo."

Louis smiled. He really loved Niall's voice. It was deep and high all at the same time, and it was just so relaxing to listen to.

Liam seemed to like it, too, because he smiled and ruffled Niall's hair and said, "That was great Nialler."

"I'm tired." Louis announced, then, fake yawning. He was tired, though, and he did want to go to bed. "I didn't get too much sleep last night."

"Yeah, you had all those nightmares." Zayn pouted, stroking Louis' shouder slightly. Louis smiled. "Sleep well, babe. Call me up if you need anything, yeah? I'll come to bed soon."

"Goodnight." Louis said. He gave Niall and Liam a hug, then hugged Zayn and pressed a goodnight kiss to his lips.

Louis went upstairs quickly, probably too excited to go to bed for his own good. He'd had a good day, but he was more than ready to see Harry again- be close to him, hug him, kiss him, and let go of thoughts of hurting Zayn, because (as bad as it sounded) Zayn didn't have to know.
