Shadows - larry Stylinson

11 - remember

Harrys P.O.V

I texted Louis getting no response. A couple days ago Louis left without saying bye and I haven't heard from him since then. Did I do something wrong? I sighed as I sat on the couch doing homework. I had classes this morning and work as well. It was already 10oclock. I had been working on homework since I got off so I was done for the night. I was so focused on the fact Louis wasn't talking to me and this whole shadow thing I couldn't focus anymore. I waited until it was 11:30 before I called a cab and went to the place where my shadow went before. I sat on a bench and waited looking at my phone, ten minutes left. I sighed seeing Louis still hadn't opened my messages. Finally it was midnight. I felt chills take over and I stood up quickly seeing my shadow across the street from me. And it was off. I started running following the dark figure make turns and rush away. I panted as I followed it to a street in the center of the neighborhood. I ran up a street that was empty and saw a park with one main street lamp lighting up the front of the park. And there it was my shadow. I stopped dead in my tracks waiting for it to keep going. But it stayed by the pole. I watched as it suddenly reached out a hand and I stared as another dark shadow appeared from across the way. I furrowed my brow my breathing uneven from running. The two shadows interlocked hands and were standing face to face. I watched as the two shadows began to dance and I stared at them. I realized the other shadow was... Louis shadow. "What" I whispered to myself in confusion and disbelief. Suddenly I looked past the shadows to see Louis.

He was standing staring at the shadows when he realized I was there too. He and I walked along the side walk towards each other "Hi" I said once we were face to face. "Hey" he said softly. We both turned and looked across the way to our shadows "they... they meet each other?" I asked out loud. "Y-yeah I guess so" he said less confused than I was. I turned to Louis "why have you been ignoring me" I asked ignoring the shadows "I-I'm sorry.." was all he said. I sighed "Did I do something?" he shook his head and looked at me "no, no you didn't H.... I just found something out that I needed to take in..." I nodded "what is it?". He looked up in my eyes "I brought it with me... I was planning on going to your place after following them... I brought them" he said patting a small back he had around his body. I nodded and we walked away together, leaving our shadows alone. When we got to the main road I called a cab and we went to my flat. We sat on my bed and he asked for my box of photos. He dug in the box carefully before pulling out a picture of me as a kid that was ripped in half. "Do you know why this picture is ripped?" Louis asked as he unzipped his bag, I shook my head "no why" he looked up at me " I do". He pulled out a ripped picture and I furrowed my brow as he grabbed mine. He held them up and I felt my breathe hitch as he turned them around to face me and said "because I have the other half". He put them together and I felt the air leave my chest. "W-wait... that means... wait" I said in disbelief as I took the pictures from Louis. I looked up at him and Louis looked at me "Louis... we knew each other?". He nodded and I let out a soft laugh "wow... that makes so much sense. I felt like I knew you the first time we met" I said setting the pictures down. "Yeah I did too" he said chuckling softly. He reached up and touched my paper airplane necklace "I-I think I gave this to you" I looked down at it then back up at him.

Louis and I sat for ten minutes in silence just taking everything in. Louis showed me an old drawing he did that had my signature on the back and a ton of baby picture that had what we both agreed was me, they just were damaged and it was hard to make it all out. We found pictures I had of Louis and I  that were also damaged. "I remember now.. how could I forget" I said in disbelief "Boobear... you were Boobear" I said looking in his eyes "we spent everyday together" Louis said smiling. I shook my head "this is crazy" I said hugging him. He laughed softly and I smiled. I pulled away "so this was what are shadows wanted right? us to remember and be reunited" "yeah I think so" Louis said smiling. We spent the rest of the night remembering stories and looking at the pictures of us until we both fell asleep.
