Fragile

Chapter 54

Harry's POV

 The plane is finally landing. We discend on to the runway smoothly and the wheels of the plane touch the ground. I wake Zayn up and check on Louis. Zayn gives me a confused look. "We're landing." I tell him. He nods and forces himself to wake up, even I can tell he needs a lot more sleep. Louis appears to be fine, I mean as fine as he could be in this dark time. 

   After ten long minutes, the plane is back at the terminal. I help Zayn take down bags from the overhead. Louis grabs a couple of the bags as well. We exit the plane following Niall's family. From here, we then head to baggage to get the rest of our belongings. I grab Louis' hand and he places in mine. We got some looks, but I don't care. I'm proud to be in love with Louis and I'm going to show him off to the world. 

  Zayn taps me on the shoulder. "Harry can I talk to you for a second in private?" I look to Louis to make sure it's okay with him. He nods and I make my way to Zayn. "What's up mate?" Zayn looks at me with concerned eyes. "I know was sleeping on the plane, I heard Louis cry several times. We're all wrecked by Niall's loss, but I honestly think this trip is going to emotionally drain Louis the most. He's having trouble keeping it together for small periods of time." I look at him quizically. "What are you implying Zayn?" "I'm implying that if Louis' in this fragile of a state right now, he might try to do things..." "What kind of things?" Zayn sighs. "Starve himself, self harm, etc...." 

   "Zayn, I know Louis is fragile right now, but he's stronger than that. If Louis self harmed or anything, he would have told me about it. Louis tells me everything and so far he hasn't kept anything from me." Zayn nods. "I know that he hasn't. Louis is a very honest person. I'm just saying keep a close eye on him. If he shows any signs of falling apart, help glue him back together. He needs us more than ever, especially you Harry." 'I know Zayn, I know. Now let's get back to Louis because I don't want him to get suspicious of being gone for a long time." Zayn nods again and we make our way back to Louis.

Zayn's POV

   Harry and I finally caught back up to Louis. Louis grabs my arm. "Were you two talking about me?" I look at the ground. "No we weren't." Louis glares at me with angry eyes. "That's bullshit Zayn. You and I both know that. I bet you were talking about how broken I am right now and how I have constant breakdowns. Now, let me tell you something. If you lost one of your best friends in the whole world, you'd be exactly in my shoes. I know I'm very fragile right now, but you don't need to treat me like I'm a sad puppy." I sigh. "I know Louis. I'm your friend and I worry about you. I know you and I don't talk as much as you and Harry, but I'm here for you too okay?" He nods and I hug him. He hugs back. 

 Harry turns around with several suitcases in hand. "I wanted to give you guys some privacy for a few minutes so I got both of you guys' luggage off the carousel." "Thank you mate." "You're welcome."Now, there's a huge limo waiting for all of us outside to take us to the hotel." Louis and I follow him out of the airport, taking in the cool breeze of the night.
