Chapter 2

So what Simon says (haha) may or may not make sense at all :P

Louis woke up to the sound of his phone ringing constantly. He groaned and rolled over, picking it up from the nightstand. He squinted his eyes, adjusting them to the light, and see he had three missed calls from Niall. He quickly sat up remembering what today was, and what he would be doing, and who he would be seeing. Sweat immediately started gathering on Louis's forehead and he was quick to wipe it away. He sat for a minute trying to gather his bearings, then got up to get ready. 

He wanted to look good seeing Harry again. He wanted to show him what he's been missing. He ponders for a moment before remembering Harry once said he loved him wearing hoodies because he just look so cute and cuddly, he couldn't avoid him. Louis moved to his closet and put on a yellow, black & white hoodie, with a pair of black skinnies. He did up his hair and washed his face, deeming himself presentable. 

Remembering Niall had called, he quickly called him back, Niall answering after a few seconds. 

"Hey Niall, saw you called. You good?" Louis asked as he fed Clifford. 

"Hey Louis, i'm fine, just really excited and Li and Har- um the others aren't awake yet. I didn't know if you were or not, i'm just so happy and I don't know wha-" Louis cut him off with a laugh.

"Chill Niall. I'm up, and yea I'm excited too. Wanna meet up before and hang? Get some lunch or something?" Louis asks. Niall agrees and they plan to meet up at Nandos around one, going to the offices from there together. Louis was glad he didn't have to walk in alone if Harry arrived first. They hung up and Louis ate some breakfast, deciding to just lounge around watching a movie until he had to met up with Niall. 

Louis is flipping through the channels when he stops at a familiar scene, realizing it was the Titanic. Of course it had to be near the end when they're about to die. He watches with a blank face until his brain is quickly flooded with memories and he bursts into tears. He knows how much Harry loved this movie, and would always claim it was allergies when Louis teased him about his tears. He couldn't handle the pressure that was on him tonight. He didn't know if he could. Why does he have to be so in love. Truly, madly, deeply in love with Harry. He didn't want to let him go. He wanted him back. Wanted to be in his arms, holding each other tight. 

Louis wraps his arms around himself trying to recreate Harry's warmth, but sobbed louder when he had a thought. He would never get that feeling again. He would never be under a blanket, chest pressed against Harry's back. These thoughts were so overwhelming he didn't think twice before shooting up and emptying his breakfast into the toilet. He cried harder, sitting on the cold bathroom floor. He didn't know how long he had been there, crying, falling in and out of sleep until he heard his front door open. 

"Lou?" He hears a voice calling out. He recognizes it as Niall's and cringes forgetting to go to Nandos, but knew he couldn't the way he was acting. He heard Niall getting closer and flinched when Niall fully opened the halfway closed bathroom door. He looked around until he saw Louis curled up beside the toilet, immediately going to him. 

Niall could see the swelling of his eyes, the trembling of his lip, and the sadness all over his face. "Oh Lou." He exclaimed, sitting beside him and wrapping his arms around him. Louis let out a small sob and hunched against Niall, grateful for his friendship. 

Niall stayed silent as he held Louis, rubbing his hand up and down his arm trying to comfort him. After about twenty minutes Niall leaned back a bit and looked at Louis. 

"What's going on in that head of yours Louis?" Niall questioned him. Louis forced a small smile and shook his head. "Um," He started, cringing when his voice came out small and fragile. He cleared it and tried again. "Uh, nothing. I was just thinking," he trailed off. Niall lifted an eyebrow, letting Louis know he couldn't fool him. Louis rolled his eyes. "Fine, I was watching Titanic and I got upset cause, ya know." He admitted. Niall nodded and continued moving his hand. A minute or two later, Niall checked his watch sighing. 

"I'm assuming you probably don't want to go, and I would let you stay here, but its 3:45 and we need to go or Simon will get pissy at us." Niall softly told Louis. The only things Louis could do was take a deep breath and nod. "It's okay Ni, I can do it. I can show him how strong I am. I don't-" he stopped but then sighed and continued, "I don't need him," he wobbled out. Niall only clapped him on the shoulder and helped him standing.
