99 Days Without You

True Love

Some say that love is the most powerful emotion a person can feel. It overtakes every fiber in your being, weaving its way through your soul and killing you from the inside out. It deteriorates your common sense, causing you to do stupid things all in the name of love.

That’s what they theorized.

When they found Louis’ cold, unmoving body covered in Harry’s duvet, wearing Harry’s old clothes, it was the only explanation at the time.

It had all been in the name of love. When the paramedics arrived, it was too late, and he was gone. Niall, Liam, and Zayn had lost yet another friend. They stood there crying into one another over the loss of one of their best friend’s. Louis stared down at them, a sad smile stretched across his lips as he witnessed his body being pulled off from the bed, and out away from the flat. He watched as the boys dropped to the floor, crying their hearts out. He couldn’t help but want to reach out and comfort them, but knew it wasn’t possible.

They began to blame themselves, saying that they hadn’t been there for him enough, which only led Louis to stare at them in frustration. He was happy now, and he wanted them to be happy for him.

Louis felt a hand pull at his shoulder, and turned around to face a pair of green eyes—blinking, moving, everything. He smiled at the boy before him, who stood smiling widely back. Tears were brimming the two boys eyes as they turned back to face their best friends, whom they had hurt so badly in their fight for love.

“You ready?” Harry asked, turning Louis’ attention back on him. Louis only nodded, and Harry took a hold of his hand, leading him far away and into his new life.

“I love you.” Louis whispered, leaning over to peck Harry across the lips.

“I love you too.”

So the two walked off into the light, holding hands and singing softly along with the angels calling their names, and singing their perfect lullaby. Louis looked over to view Harry, the boy whom he had loved for so long and had caused so much pain in their previous life.

Now they had a new life, one they could spend together forever, singing with the angels.
