School was starting again. I'd missed my friends who were spending the summer with their family, but the only friend I missed the most, was Louis. We hadn't seen each other since summer started, because he had been spending the summer with his family.

He was coming back though, and I could not wait. I was in my room watching the Telly, when my mother walked in. "Hey sweety, someone is here to see you."

"Who?" I curiously asked.

"Me!" I heard someone yell, and when I looked up, my face split into the biggest smile. There - standing in front of me - was my best friend.

"Louis!" I immediately jumped off my bed and ran to him. I gave him the biggest hug and was crying my eyes out. Not literally, but I was so glad to see him again, that I was crying tears of joy.

"I can't believe you're here! I missed you so much!" I exclaimed happily into his shoulder.

"I missed you too, Hazza!"

We pulled away from the hug and then sat on my bed. We then began talking about what we did over the summer.

"And then we went to the circus, and it was so fun! they performed the nutcracker, which I didn't know why because it wasn't even Christmas obviously, but I had a great time." He explained. "What about you? what did you do over the summer?"

"Nothing really." I shrugged.

"Oh, come on! you could have done something!" He exclaimed.

"Well, I did go to the movies three times with my mum. We also went shopping and brought a few stuff. My dad brought us tickets to see the Manchester United game, and it was brilliant!" I explained, exclaiming happily at the end.

"That's amazing!"

We talked for a few more minutes, just telling each everything we did over the summer. That was until he mentioned something. Something that I have never even thought of, nor knew anything about.

"Do you believe in love?" He asked suddenly.

I was so deep in thought, that I didn't even hear him talking. It was so sudden.

"Harry? Harry? Hazza?" He kept trying to get my attention.

He waved his hand in front of my face, and that immediately brought me back to reality.

"Huh? oh! I'm sorry, what'd you say?" I pretended to act clueless.

"Do you believe in love. Like, true love?" He asked again.

I hesitated, and took a deep breath.

"Umm....I don't know." I answered, honestly.

"Well, do you know that song that goes, I want to know what love is?"

I nodded. It was one of my favorite songs from back in the day, even though I wasn't even born yet when the song came out. It was a beautiful song, I loved it.

"Well....I-.....I uh-" He stuttered. He looked nervous, very nervous.

"Louis? are you ok? you can tell me anything." I assured. He was looking at me, wondering what to say.

"I- I-"

"Louis just spit it out-?" Then out of no where, it happened. He kissed me. My eyes widened, and I didn't know what to do, but kiss him back. I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it felt right.
.....

-1 year later-

"Bingo!" Niall stood up and danced around excitedly.

Louis, Niall, Liam, and I, were playing Bingo for game night, and Niall had won.

"Congratulations, Neil!" Louis said sarcastically, and I slap him on the arm.

"The Irish is always so lucky. Reminds me of that film." Liam chimed in.

"Omg, I loved that film!" Niall exclaimed.

"Well, I gotta get home now, mum will get mad if I come home late." Liam said as he got up, and began putting on his shoes.

"Same, see ya tomorrow lads." Both Niall and Liam had left, leaving just me and Louis.

We stared at each other for a while, just silence.

"So...are you going home too, or?" I break the silence.

"You don't want me to stay?" Louis asked, frowning.

"Of course I want you to stay! I just thought that maybe your mum would want you home early." I quickly explained.

"Oh...yeah." He looked down with a frown.

"Are you ok Lou?" I asked, concerned. I leaned into him, just in case he needed comfort. He had been going through a lot these past few years, especially with his father.

"Umm...no, I'd rather not-"

"You can tell me anything, Louis. I'm here, I'll listen." I gently grabbed his hand, and began caressing it slowly. I gave him a warm smile, assuring him it's ok.

"My mum...she has leukemia." And just then, my heart stopped and started to ache. Cancer? she couldn't have cancer, Johannah is such a sweet, kind woman. How could this happen to her?.

I didn't know what to say, all I knew what to do was to hug him, and that's exactly what I did. I embraced him in a big hug. He was crying loudly on my shoulder whilst I rubbed his back in sympathy.

"Lou, look at me." I demanded, holding his face, gently. He obeyed and slowly lifted his head up. His eyes were blood shot red, and his face was wet with tears.

"I am here. okay? I will always be here for you. Johanah is a strong woman. She'll fight through this, I have hope, okay? she's still here, just be glad for that." He nods. I caress his face, before leaning and planting a soft warm kiss, on his lips.

"I love you. Promise you'll never leave me?"

"I promise."
