~Louis's POV~
Don't let me go. That's the song Harry was singing along to as he drove us to his house. I had forgotten how good his voice was.
"So why'd you stop Caleb from beating me Harry?" I ask after the song ends feeling to mesmerized to interrupt his singing.
"Only I can touch you Louis"Harry states
"What if I get a boyfriend or girlfriend? They can touch me" I say crossing my arms in my seat
His jaw clenches and his grip on the steering wheel tightens. He takes a deep breath.
"That's not gonna happen, I won't let it" Harry says pulling into his driveway
"You can't control me!!" I say anger building up in me because Harry thinks he can just boss me around.
"Fucking watch me!!" Harry yells back unbuckling his seatbelt
"No Harry you can't just come into my life again and again and pretend like you just didn't ditch me all those years ago!!" I yell at him tired of everything
"I couldn't help that I have reasons Louis plus I still talk to you all the time!!" Harry yells back
"Ya to beat me up and hurt me over and over again!!" I yell
"Louis I jus-" Harry begins
"No Harry just stop fucking pretending like everything's fine, like we're fucking best friends again!! Like you don't fucking hate me!!"I snap at him
Harry looks surprised and for the first time I see that scared curly haired green eyed boy I knew those many years ago.
"I-I'm s-sorry" Harry whispers looking away
I want to reach out to him and comfort him but I still have anger running through my veins. Harry walks out of the car and walks into his house.
I eventually walk out of the car and enter the familiar yet unfamiliar house. As soon as I enter I am greeted by the smell of food. It leads me to the kitchen where Anne stands cooking on the oven. She turns around seeming very tired.
"Louis!!! How are you love? I haven't seen you in years!!" She squeals as soon as she sees me. She runs over to me and pulls me into a hug
"God Louis you've gotten so handsome!!" She says pulling away and looking me up and down
"Thanks Anne, good to see you too!!" I say smiling a bit
Harry walks into the kitchen and avoids eye contact with me he grabs a drink from the fridge and leans against the counter.
"Harry love why didn't you tell me Louis was coming over? I haven't seen him in so long" Anne says smiling at me
"It was a last minute thing" Harry says looking down
"Ohh Love look how handsome he's gotten" Anne says pinching my cheek
"Ya he's gotten real handsome anyone would be lucky to have him" Harry says giving me a sad smile
I smile back, Harry seems really upset I feel guilt wash over me. No Louis don't feel bad he's the one that hurts you.
"Actually I kinda forced Louis to come here" Harry says looking at his drink
"Why would you do that?" Anne asks
"Well I could be a bit of a jerk sometimes" Harry says grabbing his car keys
"I don't know why I brought him here really, cmon I'll take you home...Lou" Harry says hesitantly calling me Lou, and walking into the garage.
"So I guess I'm going" I say awkwardly nodding towards the garage door
"Alright be careful you two" Anne says giving me a knowing look
I just nod not completely understanding what she meant. I walk into the garage and step into the passenger seat. Harry glances over at me and turns on the engine.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to ups-" I begin getting interrupted by Harry halfway
"No Louis it's not you, you didn't do anything wrong" Harry says pulling out of his driveway
He turns on the radio to avoid anymore conversation. This whole trip was pointless all I did was get in a fight with Harry. I look out the window watching the trees and buildings go by. Don't let me go comes on again. Harry again begins singing, but this time their is so much emotion in his voice. I look over at him and he has a single tear rolling down his cheek.
I take a deep breathe and softly wipe away the tear. My hand lingers over his cheek a bit before I bring it down and continue to look out the window. Harry's singing fills my ears and it takes me back to a more peaceful time.
*2 years earlier*
Harry and I were laying in the grass Harry wrapped up in my arms since we were the same height back then. His soft curly haired head laid on chest his fingers examining a flower I had given him.
"Lou?" Harry asked
"Yes Haz?" I responded playing with his curls
"I feel so comfortable in your arms I feel like they were made for me" Harry said snuggling closer
"Me too Harry" I responded kissing into his hair
Harry giggled and placed the flower down. He sat up and looked down at me with those piercing green eyes of his.
"Promise we'll be like this forever?" Harry said his voice filled with hope
"Promise" I answered immediately being so naive back then
Harry leaned down and pressed his lips to my forehead. He laid back on my chest
"Forever" Harry mumbled sleepily
"Forever" I responded falling asleep alongside Harry.
My memory gets interrupted by Harry mumbling we're here to me. I step out of the car and look back at Harry. I nod at him offering him a small smile. He just shakes his head and drives away.
I walk into my house and inform my mom that I'm home I go up to my bedroom and collapse onto the bed. I stare up at the ceiling thinking.
When did everything get so hard? Harry and I used to be inseparable, never leaving each other's side. We thought our friendship would last forever. What changed?
