"Where are we going again?" Harry asked as he looked outside his car window,

"The lake" Louis replied,

"What are we going to do at the lake?" Harry asked like a child,

"We're going to watch the sunrise and swim a little. It's tradition" Louis chuckled at how childish Harry is,

"Oh ok"

Harry crawled to the back of the car leaving Louis confused. Louis looked back to see Harry rummaging through their bags,

"What are you doing?" Louis asked as he looked back and forth from where Harry is and to the road,

"I'm hungry" Harry replied grumpily, "And I'm grumpy when I'm hungry"

"We just ate a few minutes ago"

"Yeah, well I didn't get to finish my pancakes because you stormed out" Harry finally saw a bag of chips and a granola bar, he went back to the front seat through the gap between the two chairs in the front,

"Sorry about that" is all Louis was able to say before he coughed to clear his throat.

Harry slept off again about the midway point of their journey to the lake. Who falls asleep so rapidly, after all? Louis remembered the first night they spent together as he glanced at Harry, and he smiled at the not-so-distant memory that only felt like yesterday. He took another look at Harry and noticed how innocent and serene he is. He just seems like the guy that needs protection. He looked so vulnerable as if he would break any minute now. Louis remembered when Harry had this nightmare the night they first met. Louis would sometimes here Harry say the word no, over and over in his sleep and it breaks Louis. Sometimes when that happens he just wants to run to the boy and tell him everything's fine and everything will be all right because Louis will never leave his side. Louis knew Harry from somewhere but he can't seem to recall where or when. But he was sure he already knew Harry even before he applied for the job. Why? Because around Harry louis felt comfortable and safe and he never felt this way for no one, not even Niall or Liam. That's when he decided to take a small turn at the road.

After a few minutes of driving they arrived in front of a small forest with a vines hanging from it, Harry finally woke up when he felt the car stop moving. He grabbed Oreo who was sleeping at his feet and chuckled at the thought of how sleepy this dog must be. He looked around his surrounding and concluded that he was nowhere near a lake, he looked at Louis who was getting something out of the trunk of their car.

"Louis... Where are we?" Harry asked as he approached Louis at the back,

"You'll see" Louis said as he remained serious

"You're creeping me out? Are you planning on murdering me here?"

"No, Harry. Just follow me" Louis replied with a light chuckle as he reached out for a flashlight,

They walked a small trail until they reached a river.

"What are we doing here? I thought we'll be going to a lake? Did they really pull you out of school that early that you don't know the difference between a lake and a river? Really, Louis?" Harry as he placed Oreo down,

"Ouch. That hurts... I took a turn when you were sleeping, this is not the lake we were supposed to go, this place is... something different" Louis said as he went through some vines, "A lot has changed since I went here"
