Can Louis accept who he really is? With the help of his closest friends and family, maybe he can.

Harry's struggling with anxiety and depression, and Louis' trying his best to help the love of his life. Their relationship is tested when Harry's mental illnesses get the best of him. (tw// self harm, alcohol, talk of suicide)

"I've let you use me from the day that we first met, but I'm not done yet falling for your fools gold." - Louis to Harry. Louis just can't help it, it feels real. But, he knows it isn't.

"Why do you want to kill yourself?" Harry asked cautiously, watching as Louis' frown slowly turned into a grin. "Why don't you want to kill yourself?" He asked, tilting his head to the side and watching Harry's reaction. Harry took a deep breath before answering, "So I can live." Louis laughed, "I want to kill myself so I can die." In that moment Harry realized something, Louis was broken beyond repair. However, he was never going to give up on trying to put his broken pieces back together. Warnings: self harm, anorexia, bulimia, attempted suicide, etc. Please know what I do not, in any way, encourage self harm or suicide.

Maybe I am that guy, but he's hidden under a bed of lies and deceit, hoping to escape from the hell that's taken over my mind. " Louis was usually happy, or so people thought. He put on a mask everyday, fooling everyone into thinking he was happy, everyone but one person. Harry. Harry was the only person ever to realize how broken he truly was.

They couldn't be more different if they tried. Louis Tomlinson is 17 years old and in his last year of the most prestigious private school in Doncaster, before then he's off to Uni. He has big plans for his future, and thanks to his parent's money he will have no problem achieving them. Everyone who attends his school knows him thanks to his incredibly rich family, sassy attitude and gorgeous girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. If there's one thing that completely annoys him, it's that there is a community college right across the street from St. Mark's Private School, and he has to look at the poor, totally inappropriate students that go there. Harry Styles is 19 years old, and (once again) in his last year of college. He goes to Doncaster's community college, just because the Holmes Chapel comprehensive expelled him twice in the span of two years, so he and his family had to move to another town. He has no future because he never shows up to classes and if he actually bothers to, he's either high or drunk; sometimes both. His skin is littered with tattoos and if there's one thing he absolutely hates, it's the snobby students attending the private school right across from his, who think they're better than anyone just because their parents have money. When they meet, Louis is nothing but disgusted by the tattooed boy, and Harry can't help but laugh at the innocent yet sassy boy with blue eyes and amazing arse. Or a sixth form!AU where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Louis is the perfect rich boy with too much money and their schools are right across from each other. They meet at a party and that's the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.

When I first started writing Locker 17, I had a different ending than the one on the original book. I couldn't bring myself to just forget about it, so here's a different ending :)

"It's like my brain is playing hide and seek.. only one day I won't find it." Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles have been best friends since kindergarten. The pair was inseparable. At age fifteen, they became more than just bestfriends. At age sixteen, there was a diagnosis, and the world came crumbling down on them. Louis had one of the rare cases of adolescent Alzheimer's. Now, at age 26, Harry can feel his love is slipping through his fingers. And there isn't a thing he can do about it. This is their story.
