LOUIS' P.O.V

We are all at the dinner table talking about when the next time the boys; Harry, Liam, Niall and Zayn will be visiting to see the girls, my mum and my brother. The girls are talking about which boy is their 'favourite' and I can't help but smile in awe. Having favourites is bad but they all look so happy as they shout out their favourite trying to defend him as though they are related to them.

"HARRY'S THE BEST!", Phoebe and Lottie shout in sync with my mum nodding as if she was agreeing.

"Liam and Niall always have snacks for us. They are my favourite", Daisy states sassily.

"What the hell? Have you seen Zayn? His cheek bones? The way his lips slowly rise into a smirk everytime someone makes him laugh? Zayn is my favourite!", Felicite exclaimed as if she was a wife that needed to protect their husband.

I have always loved the way Fizzy talks about Zayn. Ever since the first day the boys went to his house in 2010, Fizzy took a shine to Zayn and that shine never died. Every time she is bored she will facetime me and tell me to put Zayn on and they would talk for hours about her favourite subject in school to how much she misses me and Zayn.

"C'mon then boo, whose your favourite? like whose your best friend out of them all?", Lottie smirked.

"Zayn and I are close friends, we do everything together even when we aren't touring. But i don't have a favourite!", I announced as they watched with their expressions reflecting curiosity.

This is weird. I don't understand why she gave me a cheeky smirk as she asked the question. I'm kind of worried now but we can clear it up when we have the chat soon. Oh no, dinner is nearly up.

We finish dinner, Daisy and Phoebe run off to the games room to pick their favourite games for the family to play. So I tell my my mum that i am going to go chat to the boys on the phone and check how their flight is and then i will be right back.

"I'm going with him, I wanna talk to Harry", Lottie adds in the background, her mother almost missed it.

"Sure, but dont be too long or else i will come and get you both. The twins have been asking when you'll be home for family games everyday since you left for the first part of your tour", My mum says sternly.

I nodded and walked off to the back yard with Lottie. The weather was good considering, Donny usually gets rain during evry season but summer. Today is an execption, the sun is glaring and I'm not surprised that the neighbours are having a barbecue.

"what's up?" I asked nervously as we made our way to the bottom of the garden where the seats are set out.

"Okay, I'm gonna put this blunt because I don't know how to ask and I don't want you to be offended so please, if you're not..Don't be mad at me. Promise?", Lottie talks as fast as she could only pausing once throughout her sentence.

"I'm all ears, I promise i won't take offence to anything you say!", I spoke.

I could never be offended by my sibling. She is so kind hearted and so sweet that anything she says, she says it with so much understanding and respect. Nothing she says could be offensive, she's Lottie, my younger but oldest sisiter, she was raised not dragged.

She is considerate.

"Are you Ga-homosexual? It's totally cush if you are.", She said softly, not knowing how to ask.

I looked at my phone which I forgot I was holding. I am gay but do I tell her?

After a two minute long awkward silence, I decided she has a right to know.

"Yeah, I am. Please don't tell anyone though...you know I just wanna come out to everyone myself, like family and the boys. I decided I'm not telling the fans yet. Between me and you blondy?", I pleaded.

To my surprise Lottie agreed to keep my little-okay, big secret. I trust her, she never told my mum about me sneaky out at night when she caught me, she is good at favours and keeping things to herself, I just pray she doesn't have a freudian slip before I do.

Me and Lottie share a hug before we went back into the house to play family games. Everyone informs us both that Fizzy is winning so we join in. The games didn't last long, we were all tired so we played 3 rounds of 'guess who' before we went off to bed. I put the oldest twins to bed while my mum put the youngest twins to bed. Then i went into Lottie's room and thanked her for agreeing to keep it a secret. I don't know what I would have done if she didn't.

HARRY'S P.O.V

Today has been a relatively normal day, we have been relaxing at home all day but it's nearly time to start preparing food for the welcome home party my family throw me everytime I come home, but they always so it the day after I have came home. This is no different to all the others, to say least...it's manic. There's only 17 people coming as it is just a family gathering party and not a huge 'invite the world' sort of party.

Everyone is rushing about, My aunt and uncle have just arrived with their children so my mum and sister are trying to plate up the food to place on the dinning table before everyone else gets here. You'd think cooking for 17 people would not be that hard...trust me it is. Cooking for 17 people in the space of 3 hours is proved difficult but I got the easy job of welcoming our family.

It didn't take long until the family members were here and everyone was having fun. My uncle was dancing around our living room while his favourite one direction song played. The worst part of this is that I have to put up with listening to all the songs I have spent the past 2 months singing every other night to different crowds. Don't get me wrong touring is my favourite part of my job but when I come home to my family mockingly dancing to the songs...lets just say it's embarrassing.

"How about this move Harry?", My uncle laughed as he did the bands traditional 'Best song ever' dance. If I'm honest, he was good at it. It looked like he practices it on a regular basis.

The party lasted a good 3 hours, everyone left at the same time as everyone was super tired, including the family members visiting. After everyone went me, Gem and my mum decided we'd put the dishes in the dish washer and leave them in over night then put them away tomorrow morning.

We all called it a day by going to bed after saying goodnight to each other.
