Song for this chapter is I Still Love You by The Overtunes
**Harry's P.O.V**
It's been three weeks since the bridge. I'm still staying with Louis. I don't want to leave him alone. I don't want to risk him actually doing it. We've been getting closer. I want to ask him out, but I don't want it to be too soon.
He is going to see Pat today, which I'm happy about. He has cancelled the last three sessions as I've been staying with him, but I finally convinced him to go to one. He needs to talk to someone, and from what Niall and Liam have told me, this Pat person helps. Apparently he was the person to tell Louis to write songs to unload his emotions, an Louis has real talent, so Pat really has helped. I wish I could be the one to do that for him, but I know I can't be. I'm slowly making peace with this. But I do have to tell Louis how I feel. I cannot keep it bottled up any longer. He has to know I still love him.
I offer to drive Louis to Pat's office. I just want to make everything in his life easier. It also gives me an excuse to spend as much time with him as possible. "Want to listen to some music?" I ask him after driving for around 5 minutes.
"Sure." He smiles back. His smile is so beautiful. I give him my phone and tell him to pick a random playlist and shuffle it. As soon as a song starts playing, I know what it is and it's perfect for what I've been wanting to do. I just start singing along.
"If someday your feet can't touch the ground
If someday your arms can't feel my touch
If someday your eyes can't see my face
I'll carry you, be there for you anytime of day
Forever is a long time
But I keep my words that I say to you
Together we can go far
As long as I'm with you
'Cause I will fall for you
No matter what they say
I still love you, I still love you
You'll never be alone
Now look me in the eyes
I still love you, I still love you 'til forever
If one day you don't recognise my voice
And if one day it seems so hard to breath
I promise you to give my all
Oh, like you do from the day I start to see
Forever is a long time
But I keep my words that I say to you
Together we can go far
As long as you're with me
'Cause I will fall for you
No matter what they say
I still love you, I still love you
You'll never be alone
Now look me in the eyes
I still love you, I still love you 'til forever
Oh, woah, oh, oh
I'll keep you safe until you find
What you're lookin' for, lookin' for
I'll stay with you until you find
Your way back home, way back home
I'll keep you safe until you find
What you're lookin' for, lookin' for
I'll stay with you until you find
Your way back home, way back home
'Cause I will fall for you
No matter what they say
I still love you, I still love you
You'll never be alone
Now look me in the eyes
I still love you, I still love you
I still love you
Now see me through my skin
Your heart stays within
I still love you" I sing. At the end, I look over to Louis and see him tearing up. "Are you okay Louis?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just, that was mum's favourite song. She would sing it to me before I went to sleep growing up. I miss her so much Harry." I see a tear run down his face. I wipe it away and turn back to face the road. Seeing him cry makes me cry, and I'm driving so I need to be able to see.
"I know you do. Understandably. She was your rock, your lifeline. And I can't even imagine if I were to lose my rock." I tell him, not giving away that he is my lifeline. But of course he asks.
"Who's your lifeline Haz?" He asks. It's like they say in High School Musical 3, it's now or never.
"Honestly Louis, it's you. It's always been you. It's like the song said; I still love you. I don't expect you to feel the same way at all but I hope you will at least think about seeing me in that way again." I can't look at him. I don't want to see his reaction. We drive the rest of the way in silence, and for the first time, an uncomfortable one. Luckily we are only two minutes away.
"Call me when you need a lift home." I say to him as he gets out.
"I'll probably call Niall. We had plans to hang out anyway." He answers back. I just nod as he closes the door and walks into the building. I'm such an idiot. I shouldn't have said anything.
