when the flowers die || l.s

lilac

can you take me to your

grandma's garden

later?

he questioned

of course!

i replied

what flower did you get me today?

he smiled expectantly

i pretended that i forgot to bring

his flower

oh, sorry love,

no flower today

he pouted

and that single gesture

was enough to

break my heart a little

i'm just kidding, love

and quickly handed him

his flower

lilacs!

i knew you'd give me

something purple today

he smiled

his dimples making an appearance

yet again

i poked them

you absolute cutie

he scrunched his nose

this is unacceptable

he's too adorable

no human can be this cute

i am not cute

i am a scary monster

rawr!

he furrowed his eyebrows

and crossed his arms

yeah right, harold

i poked his nose

cutie

then his dimples

patootie

he just giggled and

stuck his tongue out

let's go to my grandma's, yeah?

i stood and helped him up

yeah, let's

he took my hand and

we strolled down the streets

to my grandma's house

the walk was nice

that is,

until,

we saw an ambulance at her driveway

louis what's going on?

harry began to panic

i couldn't utter a word

too stunned to speak

then i remembered

that it's been two weeks

two weeks since she told me about

her kidney failure

two weeks since she told me that she

only had two weeks left

i had forgotten

my breath hitched

today's the day...

i gasped

she's gone.
