Liams 20th birthday fell on a Saturday, which meant that he could happily have a party. This meant Harry was invited but Saturday, especially the evenings, was always time he spent with Louis. Despite the younger boys nonchalant attitude about him going to the party he still didn't want to ditch Louis but at the same time he didn't want to ditch Liam.

In the end Harry came to the decision of taking Louis with him to the party for half an hour or so then them leaving and going to do their own thing. Shockingly Louis agreed, which Harry didn't expect because Louis was still extremely shy.

"We won't stay for long, I just want Liam to at least see me once so he won't complain that I wasn't there." Harry explained for the seventh time that night as him and Louis approached Liams house.

"Harry it's fine." Louis reassured for the seventh time.

Although inside he was freaking out a bit because all the people who would be there were legal and they were people Harry knew and yep he was nervous. But instead of letting it show he teased Harry and joked around with him until they came to a stop outside his front door.

"Stay close to me okay, if anyone touches you tell me and I'll hit them." Harry explained in all seriousness as he took hold of Louis' hand and pushed open the door which had been left on the latch.

A sort of numb tingling sensation shot up Louis' arm whenever he held Harry's hand. A light laugh escaped his mouth as he followed Harry inside, people turning to look at him and calling out Harrys name. They ended up in the kitchen where Louis saw Perrie and relaxed a little, although instead of going over to her he followed Harry passed her and over to a group of men.

"Andy." Harry said to one of the tallest men.

The man who Louis assumed was Andy turned to look at Harry, then he caught sight of Louis and smirked, "Styles, no Grimshaw this time? You've brought fresh meat."

"Fuck off mate, where's Liam?" Harry replied and Louis shuddered because he hadn't heard Harry swear since the aftermath of his fight with Jayden.

"If I tell you, what's in it for me?" Andy looked over at Louis again, this time raking his eyes up and down his body and smirking.

"Andy, don't be an asshole. Just tell me where Liam is."

"I was only playing H, I'm not an idiot. Last I saw he was outside doing a keg with Niall."

"He's still out back, they're playing beer pong." A black guy interrupted, looking at Louis then back at Harry with a confused expression.

"Cheers Maz," Harry said before turning to Louis, "stay here a minute. I'm gonna see what they're doing, try and save Niall from giving himself liver failure then I'll be back. Andy and Maz are alright okay, I'll be five minutes."

"Wait H-"

"Five minutes."

And he'd run off through the swarm of people. A shiver ran through Louis' body, not because he was cold because there were two quite intimidating men who he had never met that were supposed to be 'looking after him'.

"It's Louis right?" Andy asked.

"Yeah, how do you know?" He asked, trying not sound as nervous as he felt.

"Payno talks about you all the time, we all knew you as Harrys boy before he actually told us your name." Maz told him.

"Liam talks about me?"

"Fuckin' hell they all do, Alexis and Harry are the worst though."

Louis almost felt a little more reassured at that information. He was in a house full of people he didn't know and there was music playing so loud he couldn't hear himself think but he was almost smiling at that.
