That night Eleanor left feeling a little more confident in herself.
“So is she going to be alright?” Harry asked as we walked up the stairs to go to bed.
“I hope so. She seemed a lot happier than she did when she came over.” I sighed and pulled back the duvet and climbed under it.
“Do you think she’ll be okay?” I asked as I stared at the ceiling.
“She’ll be okay, Boo. You talked to her and she seemed ten times better. Let’s just sleep.” he yawned then wrapped his arms around my waist and pulling my back against his chest.
“I love you.” Harry mumbled tiredly and kissed my cheek.
“Love you.” I sighed then fell into a restless sleep.
“Lou! You need to wake up!” I heard Harry call. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, grabbed my glasses then checked the time.
7:30am
I jumped out of bed and ran around the whole house like someone cut my head off.
“Why the hell did I sleep so late?!” I yelled as I ran downstairs and saw Harry sipping on a cup of, what I’m assuming, to be tea.
“Because I set your alarm.” he said nonchalantly.
“What?! Why?” I yelled.
“Because you woke up way too early yesterday and had too much time left so I just set it to go off a little later.” he explained.
“Harry! Now I’m going to be late!” I yelled getting angrier.
“I was only trying to help, Lou. I’m sorry.” he said quietly as he realized how upset I was.
“Whatever, I have to go!” I said in frustration then ran out of the door.
“I love you!” Harry yelled from the front door.
I didn’t respond. I kept driving and turned up the radio. I relaxed a little and looked at the empty road ahead of me. Was I too rough on him?
I sighed and pulled out my phone.

I’m sorry about this morning I was just
I looked up and I couldn’t react fast enough. An eighteen wheeler smashed into the side of my car, I heard a horn honking and everything went black.
•Harry’s POV•
“So what were you guys screaming about this morning?” Liam asked as he sipped on his tea.
“It was my fault. I set his alarm to 7:30 instead of 7:00. He had every right to-” I was cut off by my phone ringing on the counter. I walked over and answered without looking at the caller ID.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Is this Harry Styles?” an unfamiliar, male voice asked.
“Yes? Can I help you?” I asked and looked over at Liam, Niall and Zayn.
“We need you to come to the hospital. Louis Tomlinson was in a severe car accident, we don’t know how much longer he has.” he said.
I froze in my place and everything was quiet. My mouth hung open and I couldn’t make a sentence so Liam came and took the phone from my grip.
“Hello?” he asked.
“This is his roommate.” he said.
“Oh my god. Okay thanks.” he said then hung up.
“Harry?” he asked.
My eyes began to build tears and I crumbled to the floor and bawled my eyes out.
“Harry, we need to get to the hospital okay?” Liam said in panic and picked up my balled up figure and pulled me to my feet.
“Hospital?” Niall asked in confusion.
“Louis was in an accident and they don’t know how much longer he has until..” he trailed off hoping they’d get the hint.
“Oh my god.” Zayn whispered then the rest was a blur. I remember the boys dragging me to the car and driving way over the speed limit to get to the hospital. Once we arrived my adrenaline suddenly kicked in and we all rushed to the entrance of the hospital.
Liam called all of our parents and told them the address of the hospital.
“We’re here to see Louis Tomlinson.” Liam spoke to the lady at the desk.
“Are you family?” she asked in a bored tone.
“No, but-“
“Then you can’t go in, family only.” she said then rolled her eyes.
“Dammit I need to see him! Where is he?!” I screamed and slammed my fist on the counter.
“Family only, sir.” she said sternly.
“Fuck!” I yelled then kicked the desk and walked to the waiting room and sat on one of the highly uncomfortable chairs and tried to cool down.
“Harry, it’s okay. They’ll let us see him.” Zayn said and rubbed my back.
“No, Zayn, it’s not fucking okay! He’s going to die and the last thing we ever did was fight and they won’t let us see him now!” I cried in frustration and hung my head. The room filled with silence.
“I’m sorry, lads. I just don’t want to lose him.” I sighed as the tears started to subside a bit.
“Hey, it’s fine. I know that if it were Niall, I’d be a nervous wreck too.” Liam soothed and sat on the other side of me.
“Thanks, Li.” I smiled a little. All of our families arrived along with Perrie.
“Where is he?” Jay asked.
“In operation.” Zayn replied.
I scanned around for Eleanor until I found her walking through the doors.
“El!” I yelled as I walked over towards her.
“I-Is this for r-real?” she asked with many tears building and falling from her eyes.
“I’m sorry, but it is.” I choked out.
“No no no no no.” she cried. I wrapped her into my arms as she cried on my chest.
“Shh. I know, I know. It hurts. It hurts so bad.” I tried to sooth as the tears fell from my eyes.
We waited for two hours until a doctor came through the double doors.
“Louis Tomlinson?” he called.
“Yes.” I said as we all shot out of the chairs.
“How is he? Is he okay?” Jay asked with hopeful eyes.
“I’m terribly sorry.. we did all that we could do.” he explained looking at us all with sympathy.
“You’re all more than welcomed to go see him, but only two at a time please.” he said then walked away.
“Mummy, where’s Boobear?” Phoebe asked tugging on Jay’s pants.
She picked her up and held her tight, “He’s in a better place, baby.” she cried.
They all went to go see Louis two at a time and I volunteered to go last.
“You’re up, Harry.” Liam said as he and Niall came back with many tears.
“Okay.” I said as I stood up and walked through the doors and down the hall. I was finally in front of the door and I placed my hand on the handle, my huge hand engulfing the thin, metal object that was going to break me.
“It’s okay, love. Mind if I go with you?” I was suddenly startled by Jay who stood behind me.
“Please.” I said and she grabbed my hand and we entered the room. It was silent and peaceful.
I finally saw his lifeless, pale face and it was enough to make me break down again as I fell to the floor and cried.
Jay pulled me to my feet and pulled me into a hug.
I collected myself and pulled away from Jay then walked over to the side of Louis’ bed. I pulled up the chair and grabbed his hand. It was icy cold but I didn’t care at the moment. I held it and just.. looked at him. His feathery caramel hair was now matted against his forehead, his tan, flawless skin was now white as a sheet, bruised and cut, his lips were chapped, cracked and cut and his eyes that once held so much life and sparkle were closed. Nonetheless, he still looked beautiful.
“He really loved you, honey. He’d never get enough of talking about you. You had, and still do, have his heart. No one could’ve ever taken your place, sweetheart.” Jay said as she put a hand on my shoulder.
“Thanks, Jay. He was the same way about you and the girls and Mark. He’d tell me all the great and bad memories with you guys. You were his whole world.” I said and looked up at her.
“I just wish he didn’t leave.” I said as my voice cracked.
“I know, sweetie. I didn’t want him to leave either.” she said as she cried, I jumped out of the chair and enveloped her into my embrace and comforted her.
“We should go.” I said quietly and she nodded. Before we left I turned and kissed his forehead for the last time and pushed his hair out of his eyes then exited the room. I looked up at the ceiling and thought,
I’ll see you again, baby. Wait for me.
