Behind the curtains

months in time

"this is the last performance guys" liam says before they head on stage they had spent months talking this over and decided to go on a 18 month hiatus (18 months my ass) louis and harry had become somewhat friendly again but not what they use to be. they sang their last song and had a group hug, when they went back to the changerooms "lou" harry called before louis went in the change room "can i ask you something" "sure" louis answered "why do you still wear it" thats seemed like a silly question to louis but not to harry as long as louis wore that bracelet harry had hope and to louis he wore it hoping one day harry would find out the truth. "honestly.... harry i have-" louis was cut off by eleanor "louis you did amazing" she hugged him from behind and dragged him back in the room. "harry i don't want this to end" niall says giving harry a hug "its ok one day we'll be back dont worry" harry said hugging niall comforting him. as harry hugged niall louis watched as harry's arms wrapped around niall and held him so tightly remembering that's how harry use to hold him. "louis did you hear me" eleanor said "sorry what" louis asked breaking from the trance "i asked if you wanted to grab dinner" "sure" louis said he said goodbye to his band mates not knowing when he would see them again.

louis got ready for his dinner with eleanor still thinking of harry and how he lost his chance but he tried his best to focus on eleanor. "hi" louis said as he met her at the restaurant "hey" she stood up and kissed him and they ordered food and drinks "you're performance was amazing" eleanor said trying to comfort louis but louis didn't hear a thing "louis" she said "is everything ok" "no it's not..." louis said in a soft voice "i can't do this anymore....eleanor we need to break up" louis hadn't even heard what he said he just saw the shock on eleanors face "what" she asked "i'm sorry eleanor but i can't do this anymore and i don't wanna hurt you but staying with you will hurt you even more" eleanor was in shock she didn't know what to say so she just stood up and left louis plopped his head into his hands not knowing what to do next he was a mess, he went back to his apartment and called harry but before harry could pick up he hung up the phone. 

louis was a mess after the breakup from eleanor and the band he got drunk and had a one night stand that eventually lead to the birth of his son freddie tomlinson, harry hadn't talked to louis since the breakup so when he heard about freddie through the news it was almost like a knife had been stabbed through his heart he couldn't stand seeing louis in the news so he isolated himself and worked on his music until one day he got a call from louis asking him to meet at the hospital. harry was in shock and rushed to find louis crying in the hall harry ran up to him and gave him a hug louis explained that his mother was sick harry then went in and out of the hospital making sure louis was ok until the night she passed. harry stayed with louis for weeks  making sure he did not go down a hole he couldnt dig himself out of, harry wasn't the only person to help louis at louis first show as a solo artist he dedicated it to his mother and harry, niall, and liam all showed up and that was enough for him he just needed  that support.
