The Boy That Doesn't Talk // ls

28

Harry's POV:

Yesterday, the five of us boys spent the whole day together. Louis and Zayn were both in particularly good moods, and I'm pretty sure that made all of the rest of us happy too. It was a really good day, and hopefully Liam's boss will say yes, and we'll get to spend much more time together as a group.

For now though, Louis and I are going to see our families. Niall is staying with Ziam until be go back on tour, then seeing most of his family when we go to Ireland. His brother might be seeing him soon, however.

So today, I'm driving Louis to his mum's house and staying there for the night. Then I will be going to my mum's house and see her and Gemma for two days until we go back on tour.

Now, Louis and I are preparing to leave.

"You ready yet Lou?" I call out as I make my way to his room, where he's packing a few over night things in a small bag.

"Yeah, I think I've got everything" He tells me, showing me his bag.

"Cool, shall we go?" I ask, holding out my hand to take his bag off him. He nods and gives me the bag. "Right, we're off."

"Alright, see you in two days, yeah?" Niall says as he follows us to the door.

"Yep" I nod. Liam, Zayn and Niall then say goodbye to us and we head down to the car. Once we've got our stuff in the back, we get in the front and we're off. Its not too long of a drive since Louis' family moved to just outside of London. Thankfully they're not living in Doncaster where they used to live so it's not such a long journey. "You excited to see your family?"

"Yeah!" Louis nods. "I missed them"

"I'm excited to meet them" I tell Louis. He doesn't say anything, or even acknowledge what I said at first. I face him quickly and give him a questioning look before turning my eyes back to the road. "Everything ok?"

"Hm?" Louis looks at me and snaps himself out of whatever it was before. "Yeah..yeah."

"Really?" I ask.

"Really" Louis tells me, nodding. We sit in silence for the next little while. I'm not uncomfortable, just not sure what to say. Louis keeps looking at me, and I can see it through the corner of my eyes. I choose to ignore it because I'm sure it nothing. But, eventually he speaks up.

"Haz" He says.

"Yeah?" I answer, looking over at him momentarily.

"Don't get mad, but I need to tell you something" He says.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Um-" Louis begins. "My family don't exactly- well... they don't know we're together"

My head snaps to face him and I give him what I think is a confused face. "You haven't told them?"

"No, it never really came up" Louis shrugs.

"Why didn't you at least tell your mum?"

"I don't know" Louis mumbles.

"What did you tell her when you came on tour with me?" I ask. "What about when I was papped kissing your forehead, or holding you in the dark? Or when I literally didn't deny dating rumours?"
