Forty-One

Louis looks around the room, the pale yellow walls annoying him a little. Most things are today. You see, he is sitting in the building that is built off the reception area of the place Jay, and Harry are getting married.

They decided to get married outside, in front of the small lake, and trees. On patchy grass, with plastic seats, and a cheap long piece of material running through the middle.

It wasn't Louis' cup of tea. He would maybe want a beach wedding, or something on a tropical island. But thinking of that makes Louis upset, because he only wants to be getting married to one person on earth, the person that's getting married in around three hours to his mother.

He looks over to Harry, who is walking around in his dress shirt, and boxers. The same as Niall, and Zayn. Whilst Bentley, Kyle, Liam, and Louis all sit on the same plastic chairs that are already set up outside for the ceremony.

Louis wants to cry... This isnt how it should've been. He should be up there with Harry. He loves Harry, and Harry loves him. It should be Louis instead of his mother. But it isn't. And the thought of that makes Louis tear up a bit.

He doesn't allow himself to cry, though. Needs to be strong, if not for himself for Harry. Because really, this is gonna effect Harry more. Devoting himself to a woman, when he is gay, would have to be one of the hardest things to do.

He catches Harry's eye, and Harry gives him a warm smile, although a hint of a sympathetic smile lingers.

Harrys eyes aren't as bright as usual, aren't as bright as when he is with Louis. When they hug, kiss, even watch movies together, Harry looks happier then.

After another minute, Harry walks over to Louis. Louis sniffs quickly, and gives Harry a fake smile. Louis stands up, and fixes one of Harrys buttons, that wasn't pulled through properly.

"You're so handsome," Louis whispers, hands on Louis' chest.

Harry brings his hand up to Louis' cheek, cupping it, as though Louis was the most precious thing in the world. To Harry he was.

"You're so beautiful, Lou. I love you..." Harry closes his eyes, and purses his lips. His face looks pained. And Louis wishes he could take that away.

He places his hand on top of Harry's, which is still situated on his cheek. "Everything will be okay, Haz. I love you."

-*-

Louis swallow a thickly as he takes a seat in the first row. He had asked to be part of the wedding, to which he politely declined. He didn't tell his mum the real reason why though.

He looks up to the front, where Harry is stand with Zayn, Liam, and Niall. He looks nervous. Extremely nervous. And sad, which makes Louis' heart ache even more.

Before long, the music starts. The music his mother will be walking down the Isle to. Louis' heart starts beating faster. Its getting closer until he loses Harry completely. He can't help but let a tear slip out of his eye, hoping it's disguised as a happy tear to anyone that looks over to him.

-*-

Harry stands nervously, waiting for Jay to come around the corner. Rebecca is first, a lighg pink dress on, with red flowers held in her hand.

His eyes flicker over to Louis, who is crying... Harry's heart hurts. He hates seeing Louis upset. He has done this.

But then Jay is coming in, and everyone stands... Harry smiles, as best he can of course. She does look beautiful, Harry thinks, but he'd much prefer her to be marrying someone else.

Harry watches as Louis smiles at Jay, as she walks past him. Her white Vale dragging on the floor behind her.

Once she gets up facing Harry, everyone takes their seats. Harry swallows, as his breathing becomes harsher. He looks over to Louis again, who is silently crying, whilst being comforted by a worried Bentley.

"Dear friends and family," the celebrant starts, "we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Harry, and Jay in marriage. Through their time together, they have come to realize that their personal dreams, hopes, and goals are more attainable and more meaningful through the combined effort and mutual support provided in love, commitment, and family, and so they have decided to live together as husband and wife."

Jay gives Harry a large smile, squeezing his hands that are held in her own, he tries to smile back, but can't. The look on Louis' face makes him want to cry, his baby is hurting, and he hates it.

Harry zones out for a little while, watching the pain on Louis' face become more, and more noticeable with every passing second. He isn't making a scene or anything. Harry doesn't think that anybody beside him, Bentley, and Kyle have noticed.

"Johannah, do you take Harry to be your lawful wedded husband? "Do you promise to love and cherish him in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live"

Jay nods, "I do," she bounces on her feet a little, getting more, and more excited.

"Harry, do you take Johannah to be your lawful wedded wife? "Do you promise to love and cherish her in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live"

Harry is about to say, I do, when it gets caught in his throat m, because out the corner of his eye, he sees Louis leaving. He is walking off, down the other side of the seats, not down the isle. One of his arms are covering his face, and he looks broke..

"I-I... I can't." Harry watches as Jay's jaw drops, as does many of the guests, and even the celebrant.

"What, Harry?" Harry let's go of Jay's hand.

"I'm so so sorry, Jay. I can't do this. I can't get married to you, I can't pretend anymore."

"What do you mean?" Harry looks around for Louis, not spotting him anywhere.

"Ill explain later, okay? I have to go okay?"

With that, Harry takes off, running down the isle, to over near the buildings. Once he gets inside, he opens the door to the room all the boys who were close to Harry were getting ready.

What he sees breaks his heart. His little baby, in the corner of the room, sobbing violently. Harry runs over, and immediately drops to the ground, bringing Louis close to him.

"Baby... Please come down," Harry tells him frantically.

Louis looks up at him, "you're married now... How can I calm down?! The love of my life is married!"

Harry shakes his head, "no, baby. No I'm not! I said I couldn't. I love you, Louis. And you're the only person who I want to marry someday. I choose you."

Louis gasps, and let's out a incoherent noise. "Really?!" he cries out.

"Yes, baby. Really." Louis launches forward, kissing Harry with so much passion.

"I love you so much, Harry!" he cries, as he looks into Harry's eyes.

Harry smiles, feeling like he is the most free he has been in years. "I love you so much too, baby."
