The Fault in Our Stars - Larry Stylinson

256

As I made my way over to him my foot slipped in the grass and I almost fell over.

"Oops" I said, trying to stand up.

Harry looked up at me.

"Hi" he said smiling.

"I kinda hoped that you would come"

I smiled back at him as I layed down beside him.

"I kinda hoped that you would be here as well"

"I didn't see you at school today,"  Harry said after a while.

"Were you disappointed?" I asked jokingly.

"A bit, I don't know anyone here" Harry responded.  

"Oh, well did you make any new friends?" I asked him.

"Well I started talking to a lad named Niall, he was kind of cool I guess"

"That's great"

"Not as cool as you though..."

"We don't know each other Harry"

"I know, but I want to," Harry said, turning his face against mine looking at me.

As he said that I got a feeling of guilt in my stomach.

Letting Harry into my life would be selfish.

I wasn't going to be around for much longer.

Just 256 days to be exact.

And such a pretty boy didn't deserve to be hurt.

But there was something special about him.

I wanted him to be in my life.

"Louis"

"Yeah?"

"Do you come here every night?"

"Most of them yeah"

"Why?"

"Oh, I just like to look at the stars," I said. 

I could already feel the tears burning behind my eyes, I raised to my feet quickly and started to walk away.

"Louis?" Harry said once again.

I turned around.

"Yes?"

"Will I see you at school tomorrow?" He asked kind of nervously.

I just nodded and smiled towards him.

And for once I walked home from the park without the feeling of emptiness eating me up.
