"Lou Lou?" Harry whispered, tapping Louis' shoulder. "Lou Lou?"

Louis moved slightly but didn't wake. Happy poked him. "Lou Lou." He sniffed.

Louis woke and looked towards Harry.  It was nearly pitch black and he could barely make out his teary eyes.

"Harry? What's up?"

Harry fumbled in the dark, trying to find Louis hand, and when he did, he grabbed it tight. "S-Scared." He whispered, panic in his voice.

"Hey. Why are you scared?"

Louis pulled him closer, and could feel Harry shaking.

"It...it's too dark. Scary."

"There's nothing to be scared of. I'm here to protect you." He wrapped him up in his arms. "Try and sleep."

"I can't. I need a wee."

"You want me to take you?"

Harry nodded. Louis got up and helped Harry off of the blow up bed. He took his hand and lead him to the bathroom.

"They both used the toilet and headed back to Niall's room.

They got back under the covers and Louis hugged Harry until they both fell asleep.

The boys were up by 8, excited to be spending another day together. They were sat at the kitchen table eating various cereals.

Harry was sat next to Louis, of course.

"What you got planned today then boys?" Maura asked.

"Can we go to the park please?" Niall replied, hopefully.

"I don't see why not." The park was just around the corner and you can see it from Niall's bedroom window.

"Just be careful and don't talk to strangers."

"We're not babies, Mum." Niall sighed. "We'll be careful."

"Ok. I'll pack some snacks up for you."

"Thanks Mum."

The boys were at the park. It was a nice day, but a bit chilly as it was the start of November. There were a few people out walking with dogs or little kids. Other than that it was quite quiet.

Zayn and Niall were playing on the climbing frame, while Louis and Harry were on the swings.

Louis was going quite high, but Harry could never go high on his own. He kept kicking his legs like Louis had shown him, but it would never work for him and he was getting frustrated.

He ended up jumping off the swing and sitting on the ground in front of it. Louis saw him and immediately stopped his own swing, getting off and sitting beside him.

"What's up?" He said.

"I'm stupid. Can't do it."

"You're not stupid Harry. Just takes practice. Shall I help you?"

Harry shook his head. "Don't wanna."

"Where shall we go next then?"

Harry shrugged. Truth is, he was getting homesick. He missed his family. He's never been away from them for so long before. He wouldn't tell his friends that though, as they'd think he was a baby.

Two smaller kids appeared beside them and pointed at the swing.

"We need to move Harry. They want to get on."

He helped Harry get up and the kids jumped on the swings. Harry watched as they both pushed off and kicked their legs making them go high. He sighed and turned away.

Louis walked with him over to where they'd left the bag of snacks.

Zayn and Niall joined them. They sat down on the cold grass and Niall opened the bag.

"What's in there?" Zayn asked.

"Crisps and bananas." He replied, handing one of each to his friends.

Louis peeled the banana for Harry as he always struggled.

He ate it quickly as he was hungry. He took the crisp packet and opened it. He took a crisp out and put it in his mouth. He scrunched his face up. He hated salt and vinegar.

"What's wrong Harry?" Niall asked.

"Don't like em." He handed the packet back to him.

"Oh. That's all there is. Sorry." Harry looked at the ground and sighed again. He wanted to go home.

The others ate their snacks quietly, noticing that Harry didn't look happy.

It was just then that Louis noticed Harry was crying.

"Hey. Why are you crying? Don't you feel well?"

He scooted closer and Harry put his head on Louis' chest as he continued to cry.

"I..I miss my M-Mummy." He sobbed, his tiny body shaking.

Louis looked at the other boys.

"You want me to take you home?"

Harry nodded.

"It's ok Harry. Don't worry. We'll all take you. I'll get my Dad to drop your stuff off later." Niall said.

They all walked out of the park towards Harry's house. It wasn't far away.

The reached his front door and Zayn rang the bell. A few moments later it was opened by a worried looking Anne.

"Harry? Boys? What's happened?" She asked as Harry ran into her arms, crying harder.

"He was missing you. Thought it was best to bring him home." Louis explained.

"Aw my poor boy. Thanks for bringing him home. Hope you had a good sleepover?"

"Yes. It was great. Thank you." Niall replied. "We better get back to mine. Bye Harry."

"Bye Harry." Zayn said.

"Bye Harry. Hope you're OK." Louis said, sadly. He hated it when Harry was upset.

He saw him jump up into Anne's arms before she closed the door.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Harry spent the rest of that day snuggled up next to Anne on the sofa. He didn't want her to do anything except pay him attention. He had missed her so much.

"You alright now love?" She asked.

Harry nodded. "Am I a baby?"

"What? Of course not. You just got a bit homesick that's all. It happens to lots of people."

Harry looked up at her. "I love you Mummy." He said before climbing onto her lap and hugging her.

Despite being eleven now, he was still quite small and light, so Anne didn't mind too much.

Robin smiled at them from the other sofa. He was already cuddled up with Gemma. "Do we get one of your lovely hugs too Harry?" He asked.

He immediately jumped off of Anne's lap and onto Robin's. Harry always thought that Robin was like a massive Teddy bear. Gemma wrapped her arms around Harry, making him feel so safe and loved.

He has the best family in the world.
