(May 28th)

Warnings: minor character death

LOUIS

It had been 6 days since I had heard from Harry. I had called and texted him repeatedly, but he never answered. I was getting worried. He had texted me when he got home, but then, all of a sudden, the texts stopped coming in. At first I thought that he had gone to sleep because he was tired, but then he didn't respond the next day or the day after that. I couldn't sleep. What if he had decided he didn't want me anymore? What if he found someone new, someone better?

Suddenly, my phone began to ring. I looked over and saw that Harry was called. My eyes widened. Why was he calling now? Tentatively, I picked up the phone.

"Harry?"

"L-Lou?"

The minute he spoke, I knew something was wrong. I forgot all about my other worries and focused on him.

"What's wrong Hazza?"

"Lou, I-" I heard a choked sob. "I can't breathe," he gasped.

"Baby, calm down," I soothed him. "Tell me what's wrong."

"H-He's dead Lou."

"Who's dead baby?"

"R-Robin. H-He p-passed away."

I gasped. "Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry."

"I miss him so much Lou. W-We were supposed to go on a trip this week, just us two. A-And now he's gone."

I stayed silent.

"I need you here Lou, please."

And that was that. I packed my bags, and walked quickly down the stairs.

"Where are you going honey?" My mom asked me standing in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry mum, but I have to go to Harry."

She sighed. "Lou, I know you miss him, but you promised that you would spend two weeks with us-"

"It's not like that, mum," I interrupted her. "Harry's step-dad just died and he's in a really bad place. I need to be there for him."

"Oh," she nodded. "I understand. I'm gonna miss you, baby."

I hugged her. "I promise I'll be home in a few weeks. I just need to make sure Harry's okay, and then we'll both come over, okay?"

She smiled. "Go on then."

I knocked on Harry's front door a few hours later. It was opened by a tired looking Anne.

"Louis," she gave me a small smile. "I'm guessing you're here for Harry?"

I nodded, and was about to step past her, but I thought better of it and pulled her into an unsuspecting hug. She gasped.

"Oh! Thank you," she patted my back softly. "I can see why Harry loves you so much."

I smiled, and bounded up the stairs, wanting to be with him as soon as possible.

I knocked on his door softly. "Coming mum," his raspy voice sounded out. 

He opened the door slowly and I gasped at his puffy red eyes, and messy hair.

"Oh baby," I murmured.

"Lou?" he questioned, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"You said you needed me, so I came." I said shyly, looking at the floor. "Is that okay?"

He lifted my chin up and kissed me softly. "I love you so much, of course it's okay."

"I didn't expect you to actually come." Harry spoke up from where we were laying on his bed, side by side.

"Really?" I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Well yeah. You were with your family who you hadn't seen in ages," he shrugged. "I just thought that you would want to wait a bit."

I sighed, turning over, putting my hand around his waist and resting my head on his shoulder. "Harry, I want you to know that you are now the most important thing in my life. Yes, my family is very important and always will be, but I don't love them the same way I love you. You make up my entire life, when you're happy, I'm happy, when you're sad, I'm sad. You're the light of my life Harry, and I won't let anything take me away from you."

He didn't respond so I lifted my head to look at him. A tear rolled down his cheek and I quickly wiped it away.

"Oh Hazza," I kissed him. "You're the strongest person I know. I know you miss him, but you'll get through this."

He gave a dry chuckle through his tears. "That's not even why I'm crying right now."

I looked at him confused. 

"I'm crying because you're such a sap, and you're beautiful words hit me right in the heart and made me all emotional."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. "I'll take that as a compliment."

...sorry?
