Figure it out

Part 12

Showtime! They were in Liverpool ready to go on stage.

"What song are you performing tonight Harry?" Niall asked.

"Two ghosts." Harry answered.

Niall's eyes got wide and he stared at Louis. So were Liam and Zayn. What the hell was going on?

"Do I have something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

"Your face is perfect." Harry said and walked out on stage. What? Did he just say..? Louis was so caught up in his own thoughts that he missed the looks Zayn, Liam, and Niall were exchanging.

"Let's go." Liam shouted and they followed Harry out on the stage.

The concert went well. Soon there was only Harrys performance left. Louis sat down on the left side of the stage so he had a good look at Harry. Harry turned his head and stared at him before the song started to play. Strange. It was a soft guitar song. Louis liked it all ready. And then Harry started to sing and the words washed over him.

Same lips red, same eyes blue
Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
But it's not you and it's not me
Tastes so sweet, looks so real
Sounds like something that I used to feel
But I can't touch what I see

Louis stared at Harry in disbelief. Shiiiiit! Was this song about him?

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Louis's tears started to build up. Harry sang with such emotion and the words hit Louis hard. Like a punch in the stomach.

The fridge light washes this room white
Moon dances over your good side
This was all we used to need
Tongue-tied like we've never known
Telling those stories we already told
'Cause we don't say what we really mean

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Louis was crying now, trying to hide his face so the audience wouldn't notice. Good luck with that. He glanced at Harry and he could see that Harry was crying as well. He had his eyes closed while singing and tears were rolling down his cheeks.

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We don't see what we used to see
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
I'm just trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Louis didn't know what to do with himself. He couldn't believe Harry wrote that song. Most of all he couldn't believe that Harry had felt the same way as he did when they broke up. He tried to wipe the tears away discreetly. The song was done and Louis just wanted to get away from there. He held his head down when they stood up to thank the audience and he was the first one to leave the stage. He ran to his dressing room and slammed the door.
