A song for you

See you again

Louis woke up early. Tomorrow he was seeing Zayn. He was already panicking. He had to stay calm though. He was seeing his mother after all.

Maybe he could ask her for advice. He took a warm shower and got dressed in nice clothes. Yes he still dressed up for his mom. You think that's weird then fuck off.

He had bought her a bouquet of her favorite flowers and a box of soaps. He also printed out some pictures of them and his sister's. It had been awhile and he wanted to give her something he knew she'd love.

He grabbed the gifts and looked at the time. It was still a little early but he was sure his mother wouldn't mind.

The drive there was quiet except for the radio. He never really talked much anymore. He usually only started to act like his old self around Liam. Sometimes Niall.

Seeing his mother was what he needing. He needed some one he could explain everything to and get a non bias opinion.

As soon as the car stopped he hopped out. He couldn't wait to see her. He walked up to the door not even bothering to knock.

It was home here.

All the lights were off which was normal since there was so many windows. "Mom? I'm here!" Louis set the gifts on the counter and went to check and see if she was asleep.

No not in her room. Maybe she was in the bathroom. No not there either. Oh he knew she was in the kitchen.

So he went into the kitchen. "Mother? Where are ya?" He turned a corner then his heart stopped dead in it's tracts.

His mom was laying on the kitchen floor. She was pale almost completely white. She didn't seem to be moving.

"M-mom?" Louis kneeled down and shook her slightly. Maybe she was just a-asleep.

"Mom...n-no p-please w-wake up." He shook her alittle harder as his heart started to shatter. His eyes were watering. She wasn't waking up.

"Mom! Someone help!" He held his mother close to his heart as he started to cry. She was cold. So cold.

"N-no p-please w-wake up. P-please." He could barely choke out words. His security guard had called 911 but Louis knew it was to late.

His mother. She was gone.

He rubbed her head slightly and gave her forehead a gentle kiss before the morge truck took her away.

He sat on the steps of her house as he started to cry more. His heart hurt. He had just talked to her yesterday. S-she had been fine!

"Sir I suggest-" "no! I-im not leaving yet!" The security guard backed off. Louis stayed there for hours wondering how this could happen.

Eventually it got dark. Louis was sure he would stay there forever infact he might as well for where he was.

"Hi." For the second time that day Louis heart seemed to stop. No he was imagining this.

He looked up and there he was. "Zayn...w-what are you doing here?" "Niall and Liam said I was probably the only one who would be able to comfort you right now."

"C-comfort? I lost my my mother. Nothing w-will help me." Zayn nodded and sat down next to Louis. "It's been awhile."

Louis looked next to him. Zayn was skinnier. His eyes were suken in and he looked sad. Louis couldn't imagine how shitty he must look right now.

"Yeah it h-has. I-im so sorry Zayn. I s-should have came to see you sooner." "No don't be. I understand. I mean I should have tried harder too. Louis?" "Yes?"

"Do you need a shoulder to cry on?" Louis was quiet then he slowly nodded and hugged Zayn crying more somehow.

Zayn held him close and rubbed his back. "It's okay Louis. You will see her again."

They stayed hugging to Louis had no more tears to cry. He pulled away and looked at Zayn. "I-i probably soaked your coat and shirt. I-im sorry." "Don't be it's fine. How about we stay here in your room tonight okay."

Louis nodded and stood up swaying alittle. Zayn was quick to grab his arm and make sure he didn't fall over.

They walked up the stairs and into Louis old room. The bed was a twin size and he doubted him and Zayn would fit.

"We will make it work. Lay down okay." Louis nodded and did as Zayn said laying down and covering up.

Zayn sat next to him and rubbed his forehead. He had heard Louis sing this song many times over the years. He knew it was one his mother used to sing to him so maybe this would help him sleep.

"When all is quiet and all is calm I'll hold you where my heart is. I'll give you warmth and love. You can rest your eyes. Drift off to sleep. I am here. I'll keep you safe."

Louis looked at Zayn surprised. He remembered. He smiled slightly and slowly started to fall asleep as Zayn sang the second verse.

"In you dream world you can stay awake and play. No need to fear I'll keep you safe. There's nothing I wouldn't do. So sleep now my darling. I love you."

Zayn smiled happily when he looked down to see Louis sleeping peacefully. He couldn't imagine how it must of felt finding his mother like that. So even if it was difficult he would stay with him and make sure he slept easily.

Cause even after all this time. After he had told himself over and over no...he still loved Louis. Seeing him now just made Zayn realize how much.
