Through the Years

Chapter 5

***authours note: another quick message, sorry about these but I said this story is dedicated to Finn, so I thought I'd add him into the story, please do not hate on him. He is a very important character.***

Louis sighed as he sat down on the armchair to continue the story, he didn't want to carry on as he knew it was getting closer to the end. Closer to when his whole life turned upside down, but he promised his children and they deserved to know.

.........

The boys loved their first ever tour as they performed on stages across the world, they were a global sensation and loved every moment of it, but one night in particular stood out for Louis.

It was the night of the final show, when they were all messing about on the stage, singing and dancing and once again Louis choked up, he couldn't remember the words. he looked at Harry and Harry ran over to Louis squeezed his hand and pulled him into a massive hug.

Harry told the audience to sing along and the whole stadium sang the lyrics to the song, in which Louis forgot. To anyone else it may not have been that important but to Louis it was. It showed just how much Harry cared, how much he believed in Louis. The little things that Harry did made Louis fall more and more in love with him. Harry wasn't afraid to show Louis that his biggest supporter was standing right in front of him. Everything just fit into place when Harry was around.

When the show ended the boys celebrated with a couple of drinks and a movie night in the hotel, they all snuggled up in bed watching a film. under the covers where no one could see Harry grabbed Louis hand he squeezed it tightly just like he did on the stage that night, but his touch soon eased he let go of Louis hand and started tracing his fingers along the palm of Louis hand and then squeezed it one more time, not letting go.

The five boys stayed up all night after the movie, until they fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. However, Harry and Louis couldn't sleep so they decided to go for a walk around the hotel. They ended up at the pool, Harry sat down and dangled his feet in the water.

Louis however, took off his clothes so he was just in his boxers and jumped into the water, when he arose from the water, he looked up at a wet Harry and smiled sheepishly at him.

"You got  me wet." Harry moaned.

"You may as well come in then, you're already wet." Louis said swimming towards Harry.

Louis grabbed Harry's legs and smiled pulling at Harry's legs.

"Don't you dare!" Harry whispered taking of his shirt so it didn't cling to him in the water, leaving him with just his shorts on. He knew that Louis would pull him in.

And that's exactly what Louis did, he managed to pull Harry straight into the water.

"I hate you." Harry laughed grabbing Louis head and pushing him under the water.

Louis rubbed his eyes and when he opened them Harry was just inches away from him. Louis studied every movement Harry made from the rise and fall of his chest to the way his lip quivered. Suddenly their lips touched, first very slow and then rather passionate. Every kiss they shared was as if they were kissing for the first time, they couldn't resist each other.

they then parted and looked at each other breathing heavily. Harry smiled and stared at Louis kneeling so his eyes were only visible above the water.

"Can I tell you something?" Louis asked in which Harry merely nodded.

"I still can't believe your actually here with me. Like I would have been happy if we were friends and nothing else but the fact that were more than that excites me. How do I put this? I love you Harry, I have completely fallen for you. Everything you do, everything you say, everything that you are and quite frankly you are my everything, I just hope you feel the same way too"

"That might just be the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me. I love you." Harry said pulling Louis into a hug kissing him on the forehead.

However a sudden light  from a torch distracted their moment. They looked up and saw Zayn staring down at them with big eyes and his mouth opened wide. He looked at his two best friends dropped the torch and held onto the wall for support.

"What the hell is going on?" Was all Zayn could conquer up to say.

 .........

"You can't just leave it like that daddy." Ella moaned.

"i wanna know what happens with you, Hawwy and Zein." Freddie said not being able to pronounce Harry and Zayn's names properly.

"I will tell you the rest tomorrow, it's getting late, go to sleep." Louis said kissing both of them on the forehead.

Once again Louis dialled Harry's number, even if he didn't pick up and it went straight to voicemail at least he could hear Harry's voice. The phone line picked up and there was utter silence for a second but then someone spoke.

"Hello? 

"You're not Harry." Louis said.

"No, I'm er well, my name is Finn, Harry is in the shower right now do you want to  leave a message?"

"Oh, no it's okay don't worry." Louis whispered hanging up the phone.

it was stupid, Louis didn't know why he called Harry again. he just hoped he could finally talk to him and apologise that today was the day everything was forgiven. He hoped that Harry hadn't found someone else but it looked like he had.

Whoever that Finn guy was seemed to be important, Harry never left phone unattended, he would take it with him everywhere. So the fact that someone else answered Harry's phone it only meant one thing, he was pretty serious with Finn.

All Louis wanted was for him to be happy, he remembered screaming at Harry begging for him to not leave. He remembered the exact words Harry had told him.

"You don't make me happy anymore Louis, I can't keep pretending. I can't keep telling myself this is going to work just because I love you because it won't work. We aren't right for each other anymore. I'm sorry Louis."

Louis choked for air as he remembered those exact words harry had told him, maybe he was right though. Harry deserved happiness and Louis needed to accept that, he needed to move on. They weren't right for each other at the beginning of their relationship everything was going so well but then it turned toxic as they fought every day until one of them couldn't fight anymore, until Harry had enough.

Saying goodbye was the hardest part Louis ever had to do and that hurt him, it hurt him so bad that he was starting to loose his fucking mind.
