![Picture](/uploads/7/9/9/7/7997097/6344248.jpg)
Louis: *walks into the flat, with Zayn; sees Liam and Niall* Hey, boys.
Liam: *looks up from a book; smiles* Hey. How's it going?
Louis: *shrugs* It's going. *looks around; bites his lip* Where's Haz?
Niall: *bites his lip* His mum called.
Louis: *sits on the couch* What? What's wrong with her?
Liam: *bites his lip* He went home for a little while. They talked for hours on end last night, and this morning, he was gone.
Louis: *covers his mouth; goes into his room; sits on the edge of his bed; looks at a picture of Harry on his dresser; lays back on his bed; closes his eyes, thinking*
-A few minutes pass-
Louis: *opens his eyes, breathing hard; runs a hand through his hair* Oh, my God...
Zayn: *passing by his room; looks at him* You okay, Lou?
Louis: *looks at him* I have to go to Cheshire.
Zayn: *confused; figures it out; nods, smiling* Well, it's about time.
Louis: *smiles a little; pulls his phone out; calls the airport* Hi, I was wondering if there were any flights for Cheshire.
Woman: I'm sorry, sir. There's only one flight, and it's been delayed since early this morning.
Louis: *glances at Zayn; bites his lip* So, everyone that was supposed to be on that flight is still at the airport?
Woman: Yes, sir. Would you still like to purchase a ticket?
Louis: *smiles* No, thank you. *hangs up; looks at Zayn* He's still at the airport. His flight was delayed.
Zayn: *smiles* What are you waiting for? Go get him!
Louis: *nods; grabs his keys; runs downstairs, to his car; gets in, starting it; speeds away*
Liam: *looks at Zayn* Where's he hurrying to?
Zayn: *smiles* To tell Harry he's in love with him.
-With Louis-
Louis: *hurries in the airport; starts looking around* Hazza! Haz, where are you?
Caroline: *looks up from her magazine; looks at Harry* Did you hear that?
Harry: *looks at her* Hear what?
Caroline: *bites her lip* I could've sworn I heard someone yell 'Hazza.'
Harry: *bites his lip; shakes his head* Only Louis calls me that, and he doesn't know I'm here.
Caroline: *sighs* I was just telling you what I thought I heard. *goes back to her magazine*
Harry: *nods; looks around; sighs; puts his headphones in, turning his iPod on; closes his eyes, remembering*
Liam: *looks up from a book; smiles* Hey. How's it going?
Louis: *shrugs* It's going. *looks around; bites his lip* Where's Haz?
Niall: *bites his lip* His mum called.

![Picture](/uploads/7/9/9/7/7997097/5581377.jpg)
Harry: *opens his eyes; wipes a tear away; stands up; looks at Caroline* I'm going to get something to drink. Want anything?
Caroline: *shakes her head; turns a page in her magazine*
Harry: *sighs; walks away; scratches his head, thinking*
Louis: *opens his eyes; sighs; says to himself* Harry, where are you?
Harry: *walks up to a concession booth; pulls his wallet out* One coffee, please.
Louis: *hears his voice; looks around; sees him; can't help but shout* Harry!
Harry: *hears his name; looks up; eyes widen* Louis?
Louis: *jogs over to him; looks at him* Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? More importantly... *voice gets quiet, filled with hurt* Why didn't you say goodbye?
Harry: *can hear the hurt in his voice; bites his lip; looks down* Because... A simple goodbye wouldn't be good enough for you.
Louis: *tears up* So, what? You were just going to leave? You thought if you just left without telling anyone that it would be better for us?
Harry: *looks down; nods a little*
Louis: *lets a tear fall* Well, I'm here to tell you that it's not. There's no band without you. If you leave, nothing will ever be the same. Why are you leaving anyway? I mean, really. We never go anywhere without telling each other. What makes this any different?
Caroline: *walks up; touches Harry's lower back* Harry, our plane is boarding. We have to go. *sees Louis; smiles* Oh. Hi, Louis. I didn't know you were seeing us off.
Harry: *looks up at Louis, biting his lip* Louis...
Louis: *tears flood his eyes; bites his lip* What do you mean?
Caroline: *smiles; links arms with Harry* Well, last night, Harry finally told his mum we've been dating. She insisted we go to Cheshire straight away so she can meet me. Isn't that great?
Louis: *looks at Harry* You're dating her?! And you didn't tell me?!
Harry: *reaches for him* I was going to, Lou. I swear. I just didn't know how.
Louis: *shakes his head; starts walking away* Have fun in Cheshire. *turns away from him, letting the tears fall; walks out of the airport; gets in his car; rests his head on his steering wheel, sobbing softly; closes his eyes*
-Later-
Louis: *walks into the flat; eyes bloodshot from crying; looks at the boys* He's dating Caroline Flack! Did any of you know about this?!
Liam: *looks at Niall, biting his lip; shakes his head* No, we didn't.
Louis: *more tears fall* That's why he's going back home! So he can introduce her to his mother! *sits on the couch; puts his head in his hands* I show up there, and when I finally find him and begin to tell him how I feel, she shows up and ruins everything!
Niall: *puts an arm around him; bites his lip* He loves you, Lou. Everyone can see it.
Louis: *looks at him* Then, why can't he?
Liam: *looks at him* Because he refuses to. I know that sounds harsh, but he doesn't want to accept the fact that he's gay. Accepting that means accepting that he's head over heels for you. You know how he is.
Louis: *looks at him for a minute; sighs* I'm going to bed. If anyone asks where I am, tell them I died. *walks upstairs; sits on his bed; grabs a scrapbook from his desk; starts flipping through it*
-Minutes pass-
Louis: *closes the scrapbook, tears falling slowly; walks onto his balcony; looks up at the evening sky; closes his eyes, whispering* "Close the door, throw the key. Don't wanna be reminded. Don't wanna be seen. Don't wanna be without you, my judgement's cloudy like tonight's sky..."
Caroline: *shakes her head; turns a page in her magazine*
Harry: *sighs; walks away; scratches his head, thinking*
Louis: *opens his eyes; sighs; says to himself* Harry, where are you?
Harry: *walks up to a concession booth; pulls his wallet out* One coffee, please.

-With Harry-
Harry: *in his room, unpacking his suitcase; hears Caroline and his mum laughing; sits on his bed; runs a hand through his curls; sighs* What have I done?
-With Louis-
Louis: *walks back inside; lays on his bed; closes his eyes, falling asleep*
-Minutes pass-
Louis: *sits up, breathing hard; runs a hand through his hair; starts crying; yells* STOP DOING THIS TO ME!
Liam: *runs in the room; worried; looks at Louis* Lou, what's wrong?
Louis: *covers his face, crying HARD* I want him here with me...
Liam: *walks over; lays next to him; holds him close; whispers* He'll come home...
Louis: *holds onto him, just crying*
Niall: *standing outside the door; looks at Zayn; whispers* Ready to take a trip to Cheshire?
Zayn: *nods; whispers* We have to get Harry back here.
-Next day-
Zayn: *driving around Cheshire; looks at Niall* Do you have his mum's address?
Niall: *nods; gives him the address; sighs* What are we going to tell him?
Zayn: *sighs* That he's a dick for what he did. Leaving without telling anyone, especially Louis.
Niall: *points to a house* There it is.
Zayn: *pulls in the driveway; gets out; sees Harry with Caroline; sighs* Harry.
Harry: *looks over; eyes widen* Hey, Zayn. What are you doing here?
Zayn: *looks at him* It was a pretty dick move, what you did. Louis hasn't gotten out of bed since you left.
Harry: *sighs* I'm sure he's gotten--
Zayn: *shakes his head* You're his best mate, Harry. The least you could have done was tell him goodbye.
Harry: *bites his lip* I didn't say goodbye to any of you. So, why should it matter if I said goodbye to him?
Niall: *rolls his eyes; shouts at him* Because he's in love with you, asshole!
Harry: *looks at Niall; takes a step back* W-What?
Niall: *nods* Go to fucking YouTube, type in 'Larry Stylinson' and see what comes up. While you do that, I'm going back to L.A. to try and repair the damage you caused. *walks back to the car*
Harry: *looks at Zayn, fighting tears* Is this true?
Zayn: *starts walking back to the car* Read between the lines, mate. *gets in; takes off*
Caroline: *looks at Harry* Harry, what was that all about?
Harry: *shakes his head; looks at her* Um, I'll be right back. *runs inside, up to his room; opens his laptop; takes a deep breath*
Caroline: *followed him; watching him from the door, biting her lip*
Harry: *types in 'Larry Stylinson'; starts scrolling through the results; clicks on one; sits back in his chair, watching*
Caroline/Harry: *puts a hand over their faces, closing their eyes; thinks: Oh, God...*
Harry: *in his room, unpacking his suitcase; hears Caroline and his mum laughing; sits on his bed; runs a hand through his curls; sighs* What have I done?

Part Four, "We're perfect together..."
![Picture](/uploads/7/9/9/7/7997097/2450366.jpg)
Louis: *looks at Zayn, laying on his bed* So, where did you take off to?
Zayn: *sighs* Cheshire.
Louis: *nods; bites his lip* And?
Zayn: *shakes his head* I don't think we got through to him... I'm sorry, Lou. You know, maybe try and meet somebody. *smiles a little* Make him think he's not bothering you. That's what will make him come running back.
Louis: *shakes his head; sighs; stands up* Just forget it, Zayn. He obviously wants to be with her, or he'd be here right now. Holding me, kissing me. *bites his lip; says quietly* Loving me..
-With Harry-
Harry: *pacing in his room; runs a hand through his curls; thinks: I'm not gay, I'm not gay, I'm not gay.*
Anne: *walks into Harry's room; sees him; closes the door, clicking the lock; puts her hands on her hips* Sit down. You and I are going to have a little talk.
Harry: *looks at her; sits down* Mum, please. I just need to be alone right now. I don't want to talk to anyone. You, Caroline, or anyone.
Anne: *stands in front of him, crossing her arms* Fine. Then, I'll talk. You listen.
Harry: *nods; looks down, playing with his fingers*
Anne: *kneels in front of him; sighs* Honey, I know you probably love Caroline and everything. But, frankly, she's a bitch. *strokes his curls* I can see it in your eyes when you hear Louis' name, let alone his voice. Honey, there's nothing you can't tell me, or him. You were best mates the second you said 'hello' to each other. Baby, go back home.
Harry: *looks at her* But, this is my home.
Anne: *smiles softly; touches his cheek* This will always be your home, darling. But, you need to go back to L.A. to the home you've made with Louis, and the rest of the boys.
Harry: *bites his lip* I don't think they like me much right now. I wasn't very nice to them, Mum.
Anne: *nods* Then, you need to go and make it right. *stands up* Especially to Louis. Now, I want you to shower and go to bed. You'll be on the first flight to L.A. tomorrow morning.
Harry: *nods; stands up; kisses her cheek* Thanks, Mum. *walks into the bathroom*
-With Louis-
Louis: *sitting by the pool, his feet in the water; lays back on the concrete, looking up at the starry sky; whispers* We're perfect together... *closes his eyes*
Harry: *sitting on his balcony, looking at a picture; bites his lip; drops the picture; rubs his eyes; groans* Why can't I get you out of my head? *opens his eyes; looks up at the sky* If I'm meant to be with him.. Give me a sign. Please.
PHONE RINGS
Harry: *looks into his room; takes a deep breath; picks his phone up, answering it* Hello?
Louis: *tears fill his eyes; closes his eyes; acts normal* Hey, Haz. How's Cheshire?
Harry: *bites his lip; hesitates* Um, good.. How's L.A.?
Louis: *runs a hand through his hair; thinks: God, this is hard...* Oh, you know. It's about the same as when you left.
Harry: *takes a deep breath; sits on his bed; sighs* Louis, listen.. I'm really sorry I didn't say goodbye. I didn't think it would matter as much as it did. When Zayn and Niall came by and said that you hadn't gotten out of bed and that you're in love with me--
Louis: *chokes up; tears fall* They... *laughs, without humor* They told you I'm in love with you?
Harry: *bites his lip* Well... yeah.
Louis: *takes a deep breath* Well... I'm not. They lied.
Harry: *heart shatters; drops his phone, cracking the screen; tears fall HARD; stands up; screams in anger and hurt; looks at his computer, seeing a picture of him and Louis; sighs* I have to see him... *gets his things; leaves for the airport*
-Two Days Later-
Harry: *pulls into the driveway; jumps out of the car; runs into their flat; looks at the boys*
Zayn: *looks up from his phone; hides his smile; looks back at his phone* He's upstairs, where he always is.
Harry: *runs upstairs; flings Louis' door open; eyes widen; covers his mouth* Oh, my God...
Louis: *passed out on the bed; has tear-stained cheeks; blood seeping from his wrists, and leg*
Harry: *shouts* CALL 911! *rips his shirt off; runs to Louis; puts pressure on his wrists; tears up* Louis, why...
Louis: *getting very pale*
-At the hospital-
Harry: *has tears streaming down his face, pacing outside Louis' room; looks at the boys* Why didn't you tell me he was this bad?!
Niall: *looks at him* Because we didn't know! *stands up* Don't blame us for what he's done! It's your fault! You just had to leave with Caroline! You completely destroyed the boy and you're blaming us?!
Harry: What? It didn't occur to you that maybe he's suicidal?! That maybe he might do something harmful?!
Liam: *stands up* Stop, you guys! Louis' in the hospital right now, and you have to fight about this?! Louis is a grown man! He knew what he was doing when he did it! We can't blame anyone but him. So, just stop! We're supposed to be his friends, we're supposed to be here for him.
Harry: *sits down on the floor, leaning against the wall; more tears fall* I'm sorry, okay? If it were any other guy, I wouldn't have cared about leaving. But, he's been on my mind since the second I stepped off the plane.
Zayn: *looks at him, biting his lip* Look, mate. You may not be "gay," but you're in love with Louis.
Harry: *takes a deep breath; nods* I know. But, if he dies, I don't know what I will do.
Liam: *shakes his head* He's not going to die, Harry.
Harry: *leans his head against the wall; closes his eyes, thinking of Louis*
Zayn: *sighs* Cheshire.
Louis: *nods; bites his lip* And?
Zayn: *shakes his head* I don't think we got through to him... I'm sorry, Lou. You know, maybe try and meet somebody. *smiles a little* Make him think he's not bothering you. That's what will make him come running back.

Louis: *slowly opens his eyes; looks around; sighs*
Zayn: *opens his eyes; looks at Louis; smiles wide; stands up; rushes to him* You're awake!
Harry: *standing in the corner, unnoticed by Louis; stares at him*
Louis: *nods; looks at Zayn; tries lifting his arms up, but is strapped down* Are you fucking kidding me?!
Zayn: *bites his lip* The doctors said they would let you go as soon as you woke up.
Louis: *glares at him; shakes his hands, rattling the straps* Go get the doctor, so I can go home!
Zayn: *jumps a little; nods; hurries out of the room*
Louis: *tries pulling his arms through the straps; groans* Fuck this!
Harry: *clears his throat; walks to the end of Louis' bed; looks at him*
Louis: *looks at him; stops struggling* What are you doing here?
Harry: *shakes his head* Don't ask me what I'm doing here. As a matter of fact, don't say a fucking word.
Louis: *gives him a look* Excuse me?
Harry: What you did was stupid, Louis! Did you forget that millions of people look up to you?! Do you not get that?! If you did this because of me, then you can forget me ever coming back! I came back because I felt terrible for leaving you! And what do I find when I come back?! You, practically DEAD!
Louis: *doesn't say anything; looks out the window*
-Days pass-
Louis: *walks into the flat; has his wrists bandaged up; sighs; goes straight up to his room*
Liam: *watches him walk away; sighs* He's hurting... bad.
Harry: *looks at him* What about me? I was the one who found him.
Niall: *looks at Harry; bites his lip* But, you're also the one who left him.
Harry: *looks at Niall* This isn't my fault! Louis and I are not together! I have a girlfriend! I'm allowed to take her home to meet my mother!
Liam: *points at Harry* Don't you yell at him! He's not the one who destroyed Louis! He's not the one who didn't even bother to say goodbye to him! You have no idea what it's been like for him! You've been gone, okay?! So, don't take your anger out on us! Louis had a right to do what he did! If I was in love with someone as much as that boy's in love with you, I would have done the same! Can't you see how he feels about you? How could you be so blind about this?!
Harry: *shakes his head* He practically killed himself, Liam! You can't honestly be okay with that!
Liam: Of course I'm not okay with it! But, why keep yelling at him for it?! He knows what he did was wrong, but we can't go back in time and change it! It happened, it's in the past! He loves you more than anything! If he's willing to take his own life just to prove that he loves you, then just be with him! You love him, you know you do! SO, STOP FIGHTING IT!
Harry: *bites his lip* I think you guys are just making his feelings seem bigger than they really are.
Zayn: *rolls his eyes* You've got to be kidding me. *walks over to the bookcase; grabs a photo album; throws it at Harry* Open it.
Harry: *sighs; sits down on the couch; opens it; starts looking through it; closes it after he's done; looks at the boys* He really does love me, doesn't he?
Liam: *nods* That's what we've been trying to tell you, mate.
Harry: *takes a deep breath; walks upstairs; peeks in Louis' room* Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Louis: *looks up at him from the bed; has a notebook open in front of him, his guitar laying next to him; bites his lip* I don't know. Are you going to yell at me?
Harry: *shakes his head* No. I promise.
Louis: *stays quiet for a minute, looking at him; sighs; closes the notebook* I guess it's alright.
Harry: *walks in; sits at the end of the bed; takes a deep breath; looks into his eyes* Louis William Tomlinson... I love you more than words can express. You are my world, my life, my soul. *takes another deep breath* My reason for everything I do.
Louis: *looks at him, tearing up* Harry, what are you--
Harry: *closes the space between them; cups his cheeks, kissing him deeply*
Louis: *slowly opens his eyes; looks around; sighs*
Zayn: *opens his eyes; looks at Louis; smiles wide; stands up; rushes to him* You're awake!
