I SWEAR THE NEXT CHAPTER MAKES UP FOR THIS PIECE OF CRAP

Niall knocked at Harry's door rapidly, startling the younger boy

"Woah woah! What is it?" Harry shouted

Niall came in laughing "I got some more files on Tomlinson"

"Did you have to bash the fucking door down?" Harry snapped

"Nope" Niall laughed more "I just wanted to"

"You're an idiot" Harry laughed "You gave me a bloody heart attack! I thought that someone was dying out there"

Niall lauged loudly and walked over to Harry, placing a mug of coffee on his desk for him

"Thanks mate" Harry smiled, taking the mug and having a sip

He scanned through the papers as Niall took a seat

"Why haven't I seen these?" Harry questioned, reading through the older reports on Louis

Diagnosed with paramsomnia/night anxiety aged 8

Reported missing 14/8/2010 aged 19

"He was missing?" Harry asked, confused

"He was presumed dead. That's why it was so unexpected" Niall told him "All of this was confidential, his family were embarrassed because they thought he'd run away. He had a drug addiction at 17"

"He did?" Harry asked "No illegal substances were found in his system"

"That was a while ago mate. Maybe he got clean" Niall shrugged

"What drugs?" Harry asked

"Nothing major, no heroin. Cannabis was written down, cocaine maybe?" Niall answered

"Why do you think he was missing for so long?" Harry wondered aloud

"He was classed as a runaway, but we can't know for sure" Niall bit his lip "Maybe he had it all planned"

"For four years?" Harry scoffed "That would be some damn dedication. And he seems like the impatient type"

And the annoying type

The whiny type

The hot type

****

It was at dinner when Harry next saw Louis

As promised, Harry walked over to his cell and asked if he wanted to eat in his office

Louis agreed, so that's what they were doing now. But getting Louis to eat proved to be more of a struggle than Harry had previously anticipated

"I don't like it" He whined

"Just eat it" Harry scolded

"But it smells" He complained

"Come on, it's really not that bad" Harry assured him

"But it is though" Louis argued

"Louis" Harry warned

"Harry" He tested

Harry raised an eyebrow in amusement, he wasn't intimidated or angered by the smaller boy sat across from him. Just amused

"What's so funny?" Louis asked, not being able to help the smile forming on his lips

"You. You're very funny" Harry answered

Louis didn't answer, just carried on smiling before he picked up his spoon and started to eat

"You decided to eat now eh?" Harry grinned

"I didn't really decide, you kind of forced me" Louis laughed

"Can I force you to tell me more about the murder?" Harry joked

"Not yet kid, not yet" Louis laughed, eating a little more of his food

He didn't eat much, only about half of the plate but at least it was something

It was progress

Louis placed the plate on Harry's desk

"You finished? You didn't eat much" Harry noted

'"Not used to eating much" Louis admitted

"You didn't eat much before you came?" Harry asked, confused

"I couldn't" Louis stated

"No? Why not?" Harry questioned

"I wasn't the privileged enough" Louis shrugged

"You were poor? In your reports you were classified as a runaway" Harry asked

"I never ran away" Louis shook his head

"That's what your files say" Harry told him

"My files also class me as a psychopath" Louis laughed

"Well that's what you usually call someone who commits a cold hearted murder" Harry raised an eyebrow

"I never ran away, and I'm not a psychopath" Louis assured him

"Then why were you reported missing in your teen years?" Harry asked

"That's for you to find out" Louis looked nervous now, and his actions showed Harry that it was a key part in the case

"That's an important part of your life isn't it? You really were missing. You didn't run away" Harry stated

Louis looked down

Harry could read him a lot easier than before

He knew that he was right

"Did he have something to do with it? You moved in with him?"

"No! No I didn't move in with him" Louis protested him

Harry knew that by the tone of his voice that the idea was repulsive to Louis

So there was three options

Either Louis hated him and would never live with him

Or he lived with the mystery man and regretted it so much, to the point that he'd deny it

Or he lived with him against his will, either by force or no other choice

Harry wasn't sure

He wanted so badly to ask him, but he knew that Louis could easily get upset. And he didn't want that

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked those. I got carried away" Harry apologized

"It's okay" Louis took a breath "I'm fine"

"Good. That's good" Harry smiled

They both sat in silence for a few seconds, just staring at each other

"Do you want to leave?" Harry asked, cautiously

"No, not particularly" Louis shook his head and Harry smiled at him

"Okay" He answered

So he stayed
