Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh my
I guess some queens don't need a crown
And I know why
~~~~~
Harry looked at Louis and furrowed his brows
"Were you called?"
Louis looked at Harry and shook his head "I was just uhh…." Louis rubbed the back of his neck "Was about to go check on the kids. Just to make sure they're ok"
Harry smiled sadly "Lou…."
Louis shook his head "I promise I'm not getting attached!!" Louis stayed quiet then shrugged "It's just that I want them to know I didn't abandon them too…."
Harry slowly nodded before he cleared his throat "Mind if I join?"
Louis quickly shook his head "No, let's go!!"
~~~~~
All the kids they save from the rings are either given back to their parents
Or live in the land they bought
The land has 3 houses, they're allowed to go and come as they please
They live among themselves and motherly figures who were also taken into rings
Louis and Harry felt extremely connected to these kids
Visiting them every once a while and asking them if they need anything
And everyone doesn't say anything to them…. Because they cut their families off
Louis called his mother a while after…. Something happened, and told her he can't stay in contact with anyone.
He gave them new names and passports before he booked them a plane and sent them off
He then changed his phone number and hasn't seen or heard from them since.
Harry called his aunt and uncle (his adopted parents) and told them to beware about Brian, gave them a new bank account and let them go
He hated every second of it, yet he also hated how much Louis hid his tears
Harry knew Louis loved his mother more than anyone, he'd call her whenever he felt like he could
He hugged her and gave her anything she needed
Letting her go felt like a knife to his heart
Harry held him, asking Louis if he's fine
Louis always said he's fine…. But he wasn't
So, Harry knows these kids want families, and until they get them
They're trying to show them that before they find their official families.
They have a family among them

"LOU!!" A little girl said running over to Louis
Louis smiled as he knelt down and picked her up, she giggled and hugged him tightly
She's almost 4- yet they aren't sure…. And she doesn't know when her birthday is
The only thing they know is her name…. And it was because she was branded and the number on her arm lead to them finding a file with only her first and last name
They went to police stations and asked if she was labelled as missing
Yet nothing came…. And when they asked her how did she get into the grasps of the bad people
She just shrugged
She did feel an immense connection to the person who got her out of that hell hole
Louis. Louis got her out and he was the only person she let touch her
She let him give her a bath and clothes, brush her hair and feed her
The birthday she asked for is the day she saw Louis for the first time
And Louis-.... Well, he sees wonder in her
"Hello there Darcy" He said putting her on his shoulders
She smiled at Harry and waved, he smiled waving back
She then looked at Louis "Can we go out today?"
Louis smiled "I dunno, I took you out last time"
She pouted "Please Lou…."
Louis sighed and she perked up "I wanna see Clifford!!"
Louis looked at Harry who smiled
"She wants to see Clifford…. Let's let the princess see Clifford"
~~~~~
"Can I stay with you?"
Harry quickly turned to Darcy "What?"
Darcy (who was standing beside Clifford) bit down on her bottom lip "I want to stay with you and Lou…."
Harry stayed quiet before he put the pasta down and walked towards her
He knelt down and pushed a curl away from her eye
"Remember what I told you last time?"
She smiled "One day?"
Harry smiled and nodded "One day"
Louis suddenly ran into the room "Hey H" Harry looked at him and nodded "Boss is calling" Louis said showing Harry his bracelet
Harry took a shaky breath and Darcy looked between them
"Hazza needs to save people?"
Louis pursed his lips then shrugged "Something like that…."
Darcy's smile fell "Does that mean I have to go?"
Louis shook his head with a small smile "No, you will stay here with me"
