Meet Me in the Hallway // L.S.

Epilogue

Louis had a breakdown after he realised Harry is gone while he was in his arms. After few hours, he called the authorities and they came and told him to fill some papers and formalities. The doctor who examined Harry was there, watching him cry sitting on the bench. He sat beside him and asked, "I know how it feels when you lost someone really close to you." Louis looks at him not wiping his tears and sniffling really hard. He asked him to come with him and he did. He sat on the chair and the doctor sat across him. Louis asks, "Wh- why d- do people wi- with su- such di- disease do- don't ge- get a ch- chance?" The doctor said with a reassuring smile, "It's not only the virus that does its job. An infection also acts in the immune system which is why no symptoms are seen." He nods and walks out seeing Harry's body through the glass.

He reaches home and pulled out Harry's diary in which he had noted everybody's phone number, hoping he'll find his Mum's number too. He searched through the names and saw his Mum's number. He dialled it and called. "Hello?" Harry's mom was on the phone. He had to let out the words from his mouth because he doesn't wanted his mom to know it by herself. "Hello? Th- this is Lo- Louis... Yo- your so- son Harry, he died be- because of HIV." He sniffled a lot while talking. She hung up the phone.

He then called Liam, Niall, Zayn, Chloe and Mary also and all of them asked the same thing, "Where are you?" He didn't called his mom because he knew she wouldn't care. After few minutes of sobbing, he went towards the sink to wash his face and step out to search his brother. He went to the police department to ask for his address and started waking to the given location. He reached and stood in front of the door for a while. He knocked and someone started walking to open the door.

There he was, Aaron, he haven't met in five years. "Louis, is that you?" He asked. Louis bursts out in tears and hugged him. He then let him come inside the warm house. He asks, "What are you doing here? I thought you were with mum and dad." Louis then explains him everything and Aaron comforts him. He then goes to the kitchen and comes back with two mugs of coffee. He offered one to him and started taking sips from it. Time passes by when he finally told him to come for Harry's funeral. With that said, he leaves.

On the way, he informs everybody about the funeral as he reaches home having another breakdown. He then walks towards the shelf to grab Harry's belongings when suddenly something unfamiliar catches his eyes.
