Hide & Seek (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter 38 - Pain In Goodbye's (End)

There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion. - Edgar Allen Poe

"What's going on?" Zayn shoved through the growing crowd that was situated at the end of a road only a few ventured up.

"Can you see anything?" Niall nudged his arm and Zayn shot him a look.

"What's got you guys hooked?" Louis came through the threads of spectators who were shoving him aside. Phoebe was perched on his hip and sleeping peacefully on his shoulder.

"That kid who lived up there?"

"Yeah." Louis shields Phoebe from a yapping dog he wanted to kick.

"The one with the hot sister."

"I know which one, Niall." Louis rolls his eyes. "What the fuck about him?"

"Dunno, actually." Niall laughed, earning him a punch to the bicep. "People started looking so why shouldn't we?"

"Hey, Marie. Look who it is." Zayn suddenly spoke up, cigarette tucked between his moist lips as he puffed and exhaled.

Louis watched the girl appear from beside her brother, waved slightly before everyone's attention turned to the house at hand.

He gasped when he saw the door flying open, two armed officials battling to descend the patio steps with a resisting younger individual. He was screaming and kicking, not far from throwing himself around to get free.

"Poor fellow." An elderly woman chats to her partner.

"What's wrong with him?" Another says and Louis finds himself listening to them rather than Zayn.

"Whacko, that's what he was. I heard his own mother had to call the Sheriff because he was going on about some stupid story."

"Where did you hear?"

"Officer Reese was on his radio. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't have him shipped off sooner."

Louis zoned them out too and observed the frantic actions of the boy who was struggling against the door of a cop car. Bad idea, he thought. He knew the family who lived up there, because his mom was good friends with the wife of that house. Anne Styles.
He never spoke to any of them because of the son, Harry, being a little on the questionable side. He always twitched and never smiled, only came into town when he absolutely had to and was also schizophrenic. He remembers Harry Styles from middle school but they were never mates or something of the sort. Harry liked having no friends.

As if sensing that he was being thought about, Harry looked up. They weren't standing too far away but the police tape served as a healthy enough divide between them. Especially when Harry's gaze found Louis and stared him down. Louis didn't know what to think or whether being incohorently frozen was a good thing. He gave the boy a tiny smile before walking away with Zayn who was tugging on his jacket.

"Did you hear about Harry from up on Lost Lake?" Louis' dad walked in with his new briefcase later that night while Louis sat scribbling on the counter.

"Huh?"

"Poor Anne." Louis' mom entered with a smile and kissed his temple sweetly. He grumbled something but let it go. "He's in detention until they figure something out."

"Detention?" Louis raised his eyebrow but didn't look up, his tongue was jutting out in the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah. His disorder made him create a mental reality so intricate that we couldn't talk him out of anything. Are you friends with him, Louis?"

"No." He frowns. "Why? Should I be?"

"Just asking. Ever meet with him?"

"I don't have a reason to."

"Oh okay. Go to bed and stop defacing what I've worked hard for." She smacks the back of his head playfully and he slides off the stool lazily.

"Hey, Louis?" His mom calls from the stove just when he's about to escape.

"Hmm?"

"Wanna come with me to the station tomorrow?" She wasn't entirely happy with her request because the worry lines on her forehead were back.

"Gonna set me up with a psychopath?"

She laughed half-heartedly. "Shut up and go to bed. Be up at seven!"

Harry threw his weight around in the interrogation room. He wasn't allowed to leave or communicate with anyone until tomorrow when a solution would be decided upon.

Sheriff Tomlinson promised to bring him to Harry since it was his only request. He'd oblige and go along with every non-sensical demand from the officials if he would be allowed to speak with Louis.

Harry saw Louis earlier that day, lost in to crowd to everyone but him. Harry wanted to go to him then but he was useless in the painful grasp of the men holding him back. Louis couldn't have forgotten him, they love each other. He knew Louis was just a little nervous about what his friend would think, that's why he walked away. He loved Harry. He had to because there's no
way Harry was alone in feeling this way.

He saw Louis in every moment of every mood. He'd seen every side to Louis and gotten to protect him from what was evil in the world. Could Louis be his as he was moments ago? Harry was certain of it.

He'd just have to wait.

Harry didn't know it was all in his head. He couldn't distinguish between fact and fiction because that meeting with his doctor had permanently emptied his attention span. He chose to take the safe route and make everything real, even when they didn't happen.

After seeing Louis for the first time at the police station, Harry had grown protective. It wasn't obssessive, it was his way of expressing his love. Louis had soft blue eyes and such perfect skin. His height made Harry's heart melt and his smile made Harry crumble to disaster.
Everything about Louis shouted fragile and worthy of protection.

He wondered constantly ever since, if Louis wanted to be his friend too. His partner.
[A/N: Was it too confusing? I'm sorry :( Basically, everything was in Harry's head. The entire story was his imagination because of his schizophrenia. Now. It. Is. Over. I'm so depressed right now because H&S wasn't even online for a very long time but it's my baby all the same :( and I'm distraught. Would you guys like a sequel? Please tell me because I don't know if you guys will look forward to it or........Maybe then? No? Yes? Do you want one? Let me know! By the way, this chapter isn't a flashback or something. It is current and should make sense now. I love, love, love, love x100 you guys to the moon and back. I'd never be here without any of you and it's really been a journey for me. Remember me and I'll always love you all :) Later, maybe?]

I know it's been quite a rocky road with the conclusion of Hide & Seek but it isn't exactly 'over' yet :) I've edited the final chapter about four+ times but I'm sure it makes some sense now :( sorry about that.

A sequel will be released soon! And it is going to put me into a zone far from my comfort one.
Louis will be in university :) but also in a relationship :( his/her name will only be revealed in the book. I didn't want to but it'll make the storyline longer and more dramatic.
Harry shall not be a murderer or have any kind of criminal record. But he is a psychopath when it comes to being possessive over Louis.

More shall be explained soon but I'd really like to take time out and thank you for four tremendous support. I'd be nowhere without you all, no smiling or laughing but I want you to know that you guys make that happen :) everyday. I'm going to get you all teddy bears stuffed with gummy worms or something.

PLEASE don't give up on me and this story. The sequel will be so much less confusing and a ton more fun. I have a list of scenes to put in and they're quite amaze-balls if I may say so myself.

Big love from South Africa! And bigger love from me! Stay awesome
