Harry's pov

it's been a 3 weeks since that fight with louis. i am empty the day the whole fight happened louis was spotted crying by the paps probably he was crying before he left yeah but it just. hurt. it all hurt. louis is never the kind of guy to try to ruin something for me if it wasn't for a good reason.

we haven't spoken since. i miss him terribly. i want nothing more than to drive to zayns and just hold him. have him back. i scroll through twitter and see a tweet about him

@LTUPDATES28
louis spotted with best friends zayn recently!

@louisismybflol he's been looking so dull recently i swear if that sparkly fruity bitch hurt him i will actually kms

@yougotmenervous poor baby he looks so tired sending him spiritual hugs.

@iwritetoomanysongsaboutlou him and harry haven't been interacting for the past 3 weeks drama??

@coucoucherry26 good thing he found someone else to annoy #getthefuckawayfromharry.

@larrybaby91 he's so sad looking hope he's okay.

i bite my cheek staring at the photo. he does look sad obviously i know why and i feel horrible but it just sucks he's not even planning to come to the wedding. i will not do the wedding without him. i know that for a damn fucking fact. i refuse to. i'm gonna make this right.

Louis's pov

it's been about 3 weeks now. i have never felt lower in my life. she won. she did it. she won. congratulations to her. i haven't been able to keep up more than a day streak of no self harm since it happened. zayn doesn't know and i'd prefer for it to be that way.

i'm on my way to an interview right now probably gonna get grilled about why me and harry haven't been interacting on social media or not been spotted together since i've been spotted crying and that's exactly why i brought z moral support and if someone goes too far i'll give him the signal and he'll stop the interview

since i don't really have a manager he's pretty much mine until i find one it's an interview for dork magazine so i'll have to do a photoshoot later but for now i'm doing the interview bit

"hello i'm laura i'm gonna be interviewing you today." she says and i nod smiling softly "im louis nice to meet you." i say sitting down on the couch it's pretty comfy actually she smiles "so we'll get right into the questions hm?" she sounds nice and comforting

"where does the inspiration for your music come from?" she says. being inlove with my best friend and having no chance with him.

"erm i think just past experiences in my love life or feelings that come up when you are in love i don't really know i write a lot of songs about love" i chuckle and she nods smiling softly

"how do you respond to criticism or when people say you are just famous because of harry styles your best friend." she says well not anymore we're not!

"i'd like to think that my own songs and my own writing and singing style altogether is very different from harry's i have been writing songs for him and my other friend zayn for a while now and i thought it was time to actually release something of my own obviously being harry's friend and already having that title i guess pushed my music into the spotlight a little bit and i wont deny that it did harry did in fact help with my career but i'd like to think the people who listen to my music listen to it because they like it not because they like harry cus that would be kind of dumb" i say and she nods

"there's a rumor out there that you and harry are secretly in love with each other and that camille is just a cover up for your romance thoughts?" she asks and i take a deep breath

"i think harry previously said that we enjoy those rumors and find them quite funny and entertaining i don't think anything should be taken too seriously and i'd like to say that me and harry are only friends and him and camille are definitely in love." i smile softly and keep answering the questions.

now it's time for the photo shoot and they give me this fuzzy green sweater that looks like something harry would wear but anyways i put it on and take a few selfies before walking out and doing the actual photo shoot

6pm sharp zayn is out of the house i'm waiting for harry i'm so anxious for this whole thing i can't even think i decide to grab my notebook and write down a song. this one is called can i be him it became a coping mechanism for me in a way i love writing songs honestly it's so comforting.

i hear a knock on the door and immediately know it was harry i spring up and go to the door opening it he's holding flowers and a gift bag. "i'm sorry." he says and i frown softly he shouldn't be apologizing i should be.

"come in." i say moving from the doorway allowing him to come inside he walks in and hands me the flowers. "your favorites daises." he gives me a small guilty smile and i just hug him.

"thank you. you don't have to apologize." he hugs me back tightly. "no i do i was so rude to you." he says and i nod "yeah but it was justified." i say and he sighs

"well i'm sorry anyways but i can't do this fucking wedding without you. i'm serious i'm not doing it if you're not right there next to me." he says and i smile softly and nod "okay." he kisses my face all over

"we make up so fast it's not healthy." he says as he's kissing me. "would you prefer it if i was still mad at you." i say and he shakes his head. "absolutely fucking not." hd smiles and grabs the gift bag taking out a box getting down on one knee and looks up at me

"louis tomlinson. will you be my best man?" he opens the box to reveal two necklaces. a sun and a moon. "oh harry i would love to!" he stand up and takes the moon necklace "since you call me sun and you're my moon!" he puts the necklace on me and i help him with his.

"come home pretty please?" he asks and i nod smiling softly and kissing his cheek. "missed my bed anyways." i say and he smiles again. we're very messy. but we love each other. that's all that matters right?
