Through the Years

Chapter 21

Harry and Louis lay in silence looking up at the O2 ceiling.

"I want to get the band back together." Louis said.

"You want One Direction to reunite again
?"

"Yes. Being in One Direction were the best times of my life and I was the happiest when I was with you guys." Louis said l.

"I just want you to be happy, so if that's what you want then we can do it.

"No it was a stupid idea. Zayn hates me." Louis whispered.

"I don't think he hates you but we can try can't we?"

"What if he lets me down?" Louis questioned.

"Louis, I won't ever let you down, no matters what happens you'll always have me and that's all that matters right? It's you and me forever." Harry said pulling Louis into a hug and squeezing him tightly.

"Can I stay with you tonight? I just don't feel safe, I'm still scared to be left alone with my thoughts." Louis said.

"Of course, you're always welcome at mine. It will be just like old times. But we better get going, We kind of broke in and I don't want to get arrested." Harry chuckled.

"Are you crazy Harry?" Louis said standing up and pacing the stage. "What if we get arrested? What if I end up in hospital again because they think I'm crazy and reckless."

Louis looked up and cried, Harry ran up to Louis and pulled a sobbing Louis into a hug.

"Did I do something wrong?" Harry asked not letting go of Louis.

Look shook his head into Harry's shoulders.
"No you did nothing wrong, it was so sweet of you. I guess I'm just scared I really don't want to go back to hospital."

"I won't ever let that happen, I'll keep you safe always." Harry said reassuring Louis. "Come on lets go home."

Harry grabbed Louis hand and they both snuck out of the arena and ran to the car as soon as they were safe inside Louis let out a deep breath.

They were silent on the way back to Harry's house, apart from singing not a word was said. But that was okay they didn't have to speak all the time, they were so comfortable around each other that it wasn't awkward at all.

They pulled into the house and Louis stood out of the car, he looked up to the cute little house and smiled. It was exactly how he remembers it when he brought it for Harry.

"Everything is the same inside." Harry said taking Louis hand and walking up to the front door, he turned the key and the door swung open and stood inside.

Harry was right, everything was the same, the green summer walls, the pictures of One Direction hanging perfectly on the wall. Everything was the same.

That night they both lay in bed, Harry spooning Louis. He loved how small Louis felt in his arms and forgot how perfect Louis fit into those big arms of his.

"Harry." Louis said staring at the door in the pitch black "Do you remember a few months before we broke up, we had just broken up with the boys and we're about to start our solo careers?"

"Yeah, we were stronger than ever, why?"

"I was going to propose to you that night."

"You were?"

"Yeah, I was going to propose, I had planned a whole romantic thing."

"Please tell me the story of how you were going to do it and what made you decide not to."

Louis took in a deep breath and told Harry that moment of the past.

.........

Louis sat looking at Harry smiling. Watching as he wrote down lyrics to his new songs he was planning on releasing. Everything about Harry was perfect. Louis had never felt this way about anyone before, it felt amazing and scary all at once but he was really happy.

He could stare at Harry all day and never get bored. He loved him so much and watched as he held onto the box in his pocket.

He had prepared a romantic get away, they were going to go to Paris and Louis was going to propose to Harry under the Eiffel Tower. It was so cliche but Louis knew Harry would love it. He always wanted to go to Paris.

"Why are you staring at me?" Harry laughed.

"I don't ever want to stop in case one day I wake up and you've gone." Louis whispered.

"I'll always be with you and I won't ever leave." Harry said pulling into Louis one of their long warming hugs.

..........

"Why didn't you propose to me, why didn't we go away to Paris ?" Harry questioned.

"Because I went crazy when I was with you Harry, I can't let that happen again. Loves not suppose to do that, you made me go mad." Louis whispered.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, what did I do?" Harry said wiping his tears.

Louis turned around so he was facing Harry and wiped Harry's tears. He looked at Harry and saw a side he never thought he would ever see. Harry was vulnerable.

"It wasn't your fault Harry, nothing was your fault. I just ended up falling deeper into a hole. I wanted to protect you, I would have done anything you asked me to. I would imagine different scenarios in my head of our life together. That's how my hallucinations started. It wasn't your fault though, I was just too invested in our love." Louis said staring at a crying Harry

"So what are you saying? You don't want to try again?" Harry whispered.

"No that's not what I'm saying, if this was us meeting again for the first time. I'd do it all over again, the fucks, the fuck ups, the romantic dates, everything. I'd do it all over again."

"I don't want you going mad because of me though."

"I'm okay Harry honestly, and even if I did, it's okay because like I said I'd do it all over again because I love you and I'll always love you, when though I'm scared shitless of my own thoughts and going back to hospital, I'd do it because I love you so fucking much." Louis said kissing Harry on the lips and wiping his tears.

"I love you too." Harry whispered.

They both fell asleep in each other's arms. Louis had Harry back and that's all he ever needed, he was one step away from achieving everything all he had to do now was get the band back together.
