Harry woke up the next day, a little confused as to where he was but sooner or later he realized what happened yesterday. He teared up from the memory but he brushed it off. He raised up from the hotel bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. After dressing up, he checked out from the hotel and grabbed a taxi. He stopped at the bakery he used to work at to grab some breakfast and some bagels to bring home.

He entered the bakery and was greeted by Janice, the person in charge whenever

Barbara isn't around.

"Harry!" Janice shouted as she heard the bell ring, "Janice!" Harry shouted back, he was indeed quite happy to be back. It made him almost forget about Louis. ALMOST. He took a sniff of the familiar scent and he missed it.

"You grew so big! How long were you gone? 2 years?"

"It was only a week" Harry chuckled,

"Feels like forever. It has been hectic since you left. We had no one to carry out the bags of flour and no one to bake" Janice pouted,

"Sorry, I needed to earn more money for Gemma" the young boy explained feeling guilty for leaving the bakery,

"Yeah, we understand"

"Where's Barbara? Haven't seen her?" he tried to steer the conversation away from Gemma

"She took a break! So were left here by ourselves" Janice said making Harry even more guilty, "You look a little glum, dear. Is there something wrong? And don't even think about lying to me, boy. 56 years of experience isn't something to be forgotten."

Harry decided to spill everything to Janice as they sat down on one of the bakery's table.

"It seems like you are really fond of this Lewis Tomlinson" Harry nodded, "then don't lose him. Now tell me more"

They spoke for a little while until Harry decided that it was time to leave.

"I wish I could stay for longer but I really need to go" Harry said,

"Ahh wait, I'll get you breakfast and some bagels to take home to Gemma. I don't care if you already ate breakfast, you're eating again" Harry chuckled as Janice left to get him some pastries.

He grew up surrounded by ladies, so you could say that he was well-mannered. Janice and Barbara has always been like a second-mother to him. They could always tell if something was bothering Harry and they would always make him feel better.

His thoughts was interrupted when Janice walked in the room with three bags in her hands. His eyes widened as he saw the bags in her hands.

"Before you say anything, the first bag is for you and the other two is for Gemma and Anne" Janice explained,

"But this is too much! At least let me pay!" Harry exclaimed,

"Nuh uh! Nope! Off you go!" Janice said as he shoved Harry out the door

Harry tried to protest but he was already out so he did nothing but chuckle. He waved at Janice and walked away since his house was only a walking distance from the bakery. He took his phone out from his jean's back pocket. He removed his phone on shut down since he put it on power-off yesterday, as soon as he opened it he was stormed with texts and calls from Louis,
