🌻73🌻

A month had passed.

Harry had been seeing a physcologist for a couple of weeks. He still didn't really understand where Asa was though.

Every day Harry would ask if he would see Asa. Every day Anne had to explain. It was heartbreaking for her.

Louis was at their house on Saturday morning, while the rest of the family went shopping. Louis didn't want to go, preferring to play with Harry.

The boys were on the living room carpet, drawing pictures.

"Lou me drewed a picture of Asa and da Angels." Harry said, shoving his picture in Louis' face.

Louis was sad that Harry would think so much about Asa. But he was always there when he needed cheering up, and cuddles.

"That's nice Harry. Can you draw a picture of me?"

Harry shook his head. "Don't be silly Lou Lou. You not wiv da Angels."

Louis frowned. "Yeah but you can still draw me."

"No. Me only draws pictures wiv Angels."

"Oh ok." Louis replied. He didn't know what else to say. He felt even sadder now. "I'm getting a drink. Do you want one Harry?" He stood up.

"Yes please Lou Lou." Harry said as he started another picture.

Louis went into the kitchen and found Anne making pasta for lunch.

"Hello Lou. Are you ok? You look sad." Anne said.

Louis went to Anne and hugged her. He started crying.

"Lou...what is it love.  Tell me." She sat down and pulled Louis in front of her.

"H...Harry. He drew a picture of Asa with some Angels and ... and I asked him to draw a picture of me and he said he only draws pictures of people with Angels." Louis sobbed.

"Oh Louis. It's ok honey. He wasn't being horrible."

"I...I know it's just...he keeps talking about Asa and Angels all the time. It makes me sad." He cried harder.

"I'll talk to him after lunch ok? Will you help me take the food in?"

Louis nodded and sniffed, wiping his tears. "Can we have a drink too please?" He asked quietly.

"Of course." She made them both some squash and Louis took the drinks in while Anne took the food in.

"Lunch is ready Harry. Put the crayons down love." She placed a bowl of pasta  on the coffee table, Louis placing his cup of squash beside it.

They both sat on the sofa and started eating.

Anne sat down too with her own food and watched the boys as they ate.

She noticed how Louis would keep looking over at Harry and how sad he looked.

Once they'd all finished their food, Anne decided to talk to Harry.

The boys sat together on the sofa with Anne sat on the floor in front of them.

"You playin' Mummy?" Harry asked.

"No love. Mummy needs to talk to you."

"Me been naughty?"

"Oh no. No. I just...Harry love, can I see the picture you drew?"

Harry nodded and jumped up, going to where he'd left his picture on the floor and held it out to her.

Anne took it and looked. It was so sad. Asa was standing in the middle, with four Angels standing beside him. They were all smiling and looked so happy.

"Harry...can you draw a picture of Louis for me?"

Harry shook his head.

"Why not?"

Harry looked between his Mum and Louis.

"Cos he not in da sky."

"That doesn't mean you can't draw him. Does it?"

"Bu....I see him now. I don't need draw him."

This was breaking Anne's heart. She looked at Louis who had tears pouring silently down his cheeks.

"But Louis would love you to draw him. He's feeling sad. Please."

Harry looked at Louis and frowned. He left his Mum's side and walked to Louis. He crawled up on to the sofa and put his arms around Louis.  They were both crying.

"Me sorry Lou Lou. Me draw picture of you." Harry whispered.

Louis nodded. They sat hugging for a while, until Harry fell asleep. Louis didn't let him go though. This was the closest they had been for a while.

"Are you ok Lou?" Anne asked.

Louis nodded.

"I'm gonna call your Mum." She left the room.

Anne had called Jay and told her everything.

She came to pick Louis up an hour later.

"I'm so sorry Louis got so upset." Anne said.

"He'll understand. He loves Harry and knows he would never do anything to intentionally hurt him."

They went into the living room. Louis and Harry were still in the same position.

Louis looked up at his Mum.

"You ok baby?" Jay asked.

Louis shrugged and looked down at Harry.  He looked so peaceful.

"Shall we go home now?"

Louis nodded. He nudged Harry gently, knowing he should wake him before he leaves or Harry might have a meltdown.

He nudged him again and Harry woke up.

"Harry. I have to go home now." He said as Harry slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Oh ok Lou Lou. Will me see you again?"

Jay looked at Anne, both concerned at Harry's question.

"Yes of course you will. You'll see me tomorrow. Ok?" Louis answered, his voice wobbled and his heart ached.

Harry smiled and hugged Louis once more.

"Luff you Lou Lou."

"I love you too Harry."

Louis stood up and went to his Mum, giving her a big cuddle.

Anne walked them both to the door.

"Louis...I'm sorry Harry upset you." Anne said.

"It's ok Auntie Annie." He replied. He gave her a quick hug.

"Thanks for Having him. I'll text you later. See you love." Jay said, kissing Anne's cheek.

Anne smiled and waved as they went down the garden path.
