Till Death Do Us Part

CHAPTER 4. SINCE 18

PLEASE READ THE NOTS AT THE END

--------2010

This is all so hard to believe. Louis can't wrap his head around the situation he's in. He's currently sitting around a faire place with 4 complete strangers. 4 incredible strangers that he's supposed to be in a band with. The boys was formed as a group only weeks before this and now they're all sitting there with blankets around a fireplace at Harry's grandads bungalow. The day had consisted of playing football, singing and a lot of swinging. Zayn however didn't know how to swim so he'd gotten a bit grumpy and went for a nap instead. Louis had spent a lot of time talking and playing around with the curly headed one, Harry. Louis really enjoyed Harry's company and to Louis it felt like he'd known Harry his whole life. They were just really comfortable around each other. He loved Harry's curls, Louis took every reason to touch them whenever he could and Harry didn't seem to mind.

"Lou where are you?" he could hear Harry screaming from the house. "I'm down here Harry, at the street". "What are you doing sunshine?" Louis loved that nickname, sunshine. "Nothing Hazz, i'm just watching the sky i guess". Harry jumped up on the stonewall Louis was sitting on and sat down next to him. "What do you even mean, watching the sky?" Harry sounded confused. "I don't know Harold, i'm just---I don't even know what i'm doing", Louis had been in a bad mood all day, he didn't even know why he just felt a bit sad.

"Hey" Harry jumped closer and put his arm around Louis shoulders, "What's going on, I can clearly tell somethings up Lou". Louis looked up at Harry and their eyes met. " I just feel----I don't know, I guess i'm just a bit down", Louis could feel an actual tear forming in his eye, he panicked, " Nothing to worry about though" he tried to play it off.

Harry looked at him for a long time probably not buying Louis fake smile. "I'm going to tell you a story" Harry had a calm tone as he spoke, "I once met this guy, the funniest lad i've ever met" Louis put on a grin as he thought he was the funniest guy Harry knew. "The guy was always so happy but he had a problem". The sun was warming Louis skin and the wind was nice, Louis could almost smell the flowers over on the other side of the street. "What was his problem" Louis asked. "Well, he wouldn't let himself feel anything but happiness, even though his best friend knew he wasn't happy." Could Harry be talking about him, he was wasn't he. Louis could now feel the tear despite Louis desperate attempt at keeping it in, it now begin fall down his cheek.

Harry was quick to notice the tear and he slowly brought his hand up and wiped it away. "You know its okay to be sad Louis, you know i'm always going to be here for you", Louis was quite. "You don't have to, but if you want you can tell me what has happened". Louis himself didn't even know why he was feeling this way, "I don't even know why i'm feeling like this Hazz". "That's fine to Louis" Harry answered, "I just----I just need you to be here for me today" Louis went awkwardly quiet " is that okay?" he asked. "Of Course Lou, i'm all yours today okay!". Louis smile went big, stretching from ear to ear. Harry also started smiling wide and that's when louis noticed it, "oh my god Harry, you have dimples". Harry laugh "you haven't noticed that before?" he asked in between laughs. " No actually--- I like it though!". They both just kind of sat there for a while, letting the sun burn into their pale faces.

THE MORNING AFTER:

The smell coming from the kitchen was unbelievable. "Oi, what's that smell" louis shouted as he and Harry got in the house again. "S potato stuffed with garlic and Zayn is out at the grill cooking up some stakes" Liam said, looking well proud over the food in front of him. "Are we eating dinner already, it's only two o'clock" Harry sounded confused. "No mate it's lunch" an overly excited Niall came in the room wrapping his arms around Harry's shoulders.
