This is it \\part one\\

Lessen the load, lessen the pain.

*LOUIS POV*

"What the hell are you doing, Louis?!" Harry yells, letting go of my shirt and pushing me to the ground.

"Curiosity killed the cat..?" I attempt to lighten to mood but Harry looks pissed.

"What did you hear?" Kendall asks and I give her a little glare, raising my eyebrows and looking her up and down so they know I basically heard all of it.

"Fucking hell Louis," Harry mumbles and I stand up properly.

"Don't fucking get pissed at me, Harry. You're the one who had to get her pregnant. What will everyone else say? You really think they'll want another fucking pregnancy after what happened to Bec?!" I yell and Harry looks down.

"We're leaving. We'll go somewhere else." Harry says to Kendall and I scoff.

He can't just leave after everything. Tiarn loves him. And I can't see another friend leave me. I won't see another friend leave me.

"Harry you're not leaving," I say and he crosses his arms.

"Oh, and why not?" he asks, "Obviously no one wants me here!" he yells.

"Because you can't just leave us!" I start, "I'm you're best fucking friend and you're going to leave me in Hell for some girl?!"

"WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!" He yells, "LOUIS TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK I AM SUPPOSED TO DO."

"Don't leave us." I say, "it's a simple as that. Don't fucking leave us." I sigh and walk out of the room, bumping into Grace who was listening in. Her eyes go wide and she gives me a weak smile.

"You got to be fucking kidding me." I laugh and she covers her mouth.

"I heard the yelling and I sort of had to listen, sorry," she says and we walk to the kitchen together.

"He does have a point though," grace sighs.

"What'd you mean?" I ask, sitting on the bench and Grace joins me.

"Harry." She starts and I look to her, "Its not guaranteed that we're all going to be safe here forever. Sooner or later everyone's going to want to go their separate ways and you can't stop that Lou. Life goes on and you have to keep moving with it."

"You're leaving too, aren't you?" I ask and she slowly nods, "You weren't going to tell anyone? Not even Zayn?

"Zayn and I. We're leaving in two days. After Beccy passed away, we had a talk, we both think we should go our own way. A big group isn't good in this situation. We all fight. We run out of supplies-"

"That's why you're leaving? Over food and petty fights?" I ask, hurt and she shakes her head.

"We're trying to lessen the hurt." She says and I feel myself tearing up and I nod understandingly. Zayn and Grace will be leaving in two days and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

"I hope you'll be happy." I say and she smiles at me, wiping a tear from her eye. She pulls me in and I hug her, letting go after a few seconds, and she says one thing.

"So do I."
