The Boy That Doesn't Talk // ls

Harry's POV:

I don't get to see Louis the next four days. I have three interviews in different places and Simon is using them to cover up the pictures of me and Lou that were posted by the fans. Also any other speculations and stories about us have to be denied. In each interview it's the same questions: "are you dating Louis?" "Is there another love interest" "how do you know Louis".
We answered those questions with Nick. It's just going to be harder for me to hide if Simon keeps getting these questions shoved in my face. He's making the situation bigger than it needs to be so we can't even avoid it.

When I finally get to see the boys again, there's only three days until Niall and I start tour, so we decided we'd go out for a meal together. All five of us. It was Louis' idea as he says he hasn't been out for a meal since he was little and he would feel comfortable if he was with me. It makes me all soft and warm inside knowing that I'm his safety. Although I can't really comfort him if people spot us, so that could be a problem.

Another thing is that Louis and I haven't discussed me going on tour. I want him to come with me but we both know that won't work, so I know I have to leave him behind but I don't know how it's going to work and I'm afraid he'll give up on me and end things between us. I'll probably bring it up soon so he knows where we stand from my point of view and that I'm not going to forget about him. I've been in relationships before where tour has been a big problem and it's usually the reason things end, because of long distance and all.

When Niall and I arrive to pick up the boys from their apartment, Zayn answers the door and lets us come inside. The three of us sit on the sofa and wait for Liam and Louis to be ready. As a group, we decided not to dress up or anything because it's not a huge deal and it would just attract attention. Liam comes into the living room after a bit, so we stand up and start getting ready to leave.

Louis ends up walking out five minutes after Liam and his eyes are all puffy and red. Liam looks nervously at us because he's been with Louis for a while and apparently he's not talking. Zayn goes and whispers something to him, Louis just nods and comes and stands by me.

"Are you ok Lou?" I ask him when he's close enough that no one else has to listen. He doesn't say anything and just wraps his arms around my waist and shrugs. "We don't have to go out if you don't want to"

Louis nods his head. I don't know what this means so I just hug him back and wait for him to make a move and let us know what we're doing. Eventually, he moves away from me, takes my hand and pulls me towards the door. I turn back to the other boys with an anxious look. I don't know why he's so determined to do this.

Once we're in Niall's car, with Liam in the front and me, Louis and Zayn in the back, Louis makes sure he cuddles into my side and holds on tight. He's sat in the middle seat next to Zayn and me. I wrap an arm around him and kiss the top of his head a few times.

"Any time you want to go home, just let me know somehow and we'll take you there" I whisper into his head. He nods and smiles a little.

For the rest of the car ride, Liam continuously plays mine and Niall's songs and they scream the words. Its fine for Niall because it's not his voice but listening to myself just makes me feel self centred and gross. Zayn's using his hand as a fake microphone and keeps trying to "pass" it to me and make me sing. Louis giggles a little every time because he knows I don't like it from when we went on our date.

"Sing your songs Hazza" Louis says to me when they're all belting their little hearts out to Where Do Broken Hearts Go. I shake my head but smile at his face because he looks rather happy and that's good. "No one sings them better than you" he shrugs, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek and then resting his head back on my shoulder.
