This is an alternate ending short story for my "Cross My Heart" story. You would need to read or at least start reading Cross My Heart first, to understand THIS story!! In "Cross My Heart", Harry and Gwen are boyfriend/girlfriend after Harry saves her from a life of captivity. But something happens.... This story starts at the moment in Cross My Heart, that Harry is shot in the chest. Instead of him pulling through and surviving, as he does in that story, I've branched off and written this short story of what would happen to Gwen and Louis if Harry died. How they each would mourn his death. How Gwen would get through the loss of the love of her life....her everything....her reason for breathing....her reason for life. How would she survive without him? Louis, Harry's best friend in the world, and practically a brother to him, promised Harry that he'd take care of Gwen throughout her life, before Harry was going to die. He loved her already. He was in love with her, and Harry knew this. Harry approved of Louis's love for Gwen, and he knew she'd be in good hands with him. He also knew that she could learn to love Louis (as she already did, but on a deeper, real love scale) and knew she could be happy for the rest of her life with him. He knew Louis would love her forever and give her a great life, along with Harry's millions that would go to Gwen and him. That's all he wanted, before he died. He wanted to know that Gwen would be alright. Taken care of. Loved. Whether romantically, or as a friend to Louis....she'd make it, with the help of Louis. This story is how they both make it. Or not. Things are.....bad. Things are not going well for Gwen and Louis after Harry dies. This is the deep, raw, honest story of how it goes, and if they make it through their grief, to move on and make a life....a love....without their beloved Harry. *****WARNING:***** *Ma.ture *S.ex *Extreme grief and mourning *Suicidal thoughts and actions ***********************************
