The Band-napper's Best Friend

Chapter 15 - Reunion??

**tw//self-death thoughts and conversation about it...read at your own risk (beginning only)**

3rd Person POV:
The boys untie their knots, and let the clothes fall from their face. After their eyes adjust to the new accustomed light, they look forward and gasp. Well, Niall and Zayn mostly. Syd sits next to Niall, in hopes he doesn't turn and attack her. She beings to pick at her food, trying to make herself not known at the table.

"Boys?" Zayn breathes, astonished, that his ex-bandmates are sitting around him.

"Zayn?" Niall responds. "Is that you?"

"Um, yeah...it's me." Zayn answers.

"Hi boys," Liam interjects into the convo.

"Hi Payno." The boys respond. Liam smiles.

"And hello Miss Sydney." Liam directs to Sydney. All the boys turn to look at her.

"Nice to see you again." Harry nods. "How are you?"

"Um...alright...I guess." Syd says, nervously, continuing to poke around at the noodles in the bowl.

"You'll be fine Syd. The boys aren't going to hurt you." Liam adds in. "It'll be ok." Syd just nods.

"You guys can eat by the way." Sydney whispers. "Oh...and I made it and it's not poisoned."

Niall just laughs his signature laugh next to her, which then causes Sydney to giggle a little. With Sydney's little fit of giggles, Liam begins to laugh along as well. With Liam laughing, Zayn begins to laugh which causes Harry to let some little laughs escape. Everyone is laughing except...

"Louis...BooBear? You alright?" Harry asks, noticing that the Doncaster lad is the only one not laughing along with the others enjoying the little meal in front of them. The other boys and Sydney stop laughing and then take notice of Louis, who is just sulking and hasn't even touched his bowl of noodles.

"Tommo, you need to eat." Niall comments. Louis just ignores and keeps his head down.

**TRIGGER WARNING STARTS HERE**

"LouLou?" Sydney questions. "Can you look at me?" Louis responds by looking at Sydney with really tear-filled eyes. "Oh LouLou." Sydney gets up from her chair and makes her way over to a very sad Louis. She wraps her arms around him and comforts him. "I'm sorry."

"I don't want to be here anymore." He whispers to Sydney. "I'm losing everyone I love and everything is fading away and I don't think I'm going to ever get it back."

"Oh please don't say that. You are important, not just to me but to your bandmates, your fans, and your family. Please don't give up LouLou. I love you too much to let you go like that." Sydney lets out, letting the tears she felt a few seconds ago, out.

"BooBear. What happened?" Harry asks, getting up from his spot and coming to his bandmate's side. "You can tell me right?" Louis just nods. "What happened?"

"London." Louis whispers out, afraid that she might come out of nowhere and cause more emotional damage to him, which I understand. London is so random and can at any time pop up and cause a scene. That's just who she is.

"Oh BooBear." Harry hugs Louis. "Wanna go talk about it?" Louis nods and rises sulkingly from his seat. "Can we go talk privately?" Harry asks Sydney.

"Yeah, go ahead." she responds and the two boys walk off with their mac n' cheese bowls into Harry's room. Sydney waits for the door to close and then she exhales a breath.

"What da fuckin' hell is goin' on?" Niall speaks up, getting a little upset at Sydney.

"Nialler calm down. Let Syd explain." Liam glares at Niall.
