harry took the train this time. he figured it would be faster than driving and it was. he paid the driver before stepping out of the car "thank you" he got the courage to say as the car drove off. that was one thing one he was worried about, having enough money to pay the driver to tale him from the station to his destination.

no cars were in the driveway as he walked to the front door. the house seemed extremely quiet for a saturday afternoon, but he hoped the one person he needed to see was there. harry knocked of the door and waited a minute before knocking again. the door swung open seconds after "harry?"

"hey lottie"

thank god.

she was wrapped in a dark blue blanket, her hair tied back in a very messy ponytail and she still had her pyjamas on. "louis' not here, he's at uni... wait you should know that. why are you here?"

"i'm here to see you" without any question the little girls stepped back to let harry in the door. he untied his shoes and slid them off, hanging his coat up. it may be end of march but it was still pretty chilly.

harry followed lottie into the living room. the tv was playing 'legally blonde' and there were empty dishes and a small garbage bin full off used tissues. lottie sat back down on the three seater couch, harry sitting down next to her "i'm sick harry, you shouldn't sit next to me"

"i think i'll be fine, just a cold?"

"the most dreadful" her eyes were all red and her voice was nasally. harry felt bad for coming now but he had to get this done. the older lad stilled sat next to lottie "where is everyone?"

"mum is at the doctors with the babies, dan is out running errands, fiz  and the twins are at our dads place for the next few days. i'm supposed to be there too but but mum doesn't want me giving this to the others" lottie paused "sorry, why are you here?"

spit it out, it's not that hard.

"i'm going to assume you're the only person who knows exactly everything going on in louis' life besides zayn-"

lottie shook her head "he has to tell you on his own, i'm not goi-"

"he already told me everything, well like ninety-eight percent. he left you out of it..." harry felt as if he was pressuring the poor girl "sorry, i just have a question about louis' dad..."

"i don't know much about him harry, that's on louis to say. whatever the qu-"

harry cut her off, knowingly "where did he run off to?" lottie paused the movie, shifting her gaze directly at harry. there were a million thoughts running through her head, harry could tell. she had a pale face and her eyes looked as if she was scanning her brain.

"does louis know you're here?" she sniffled, here red eyes looked extremely glossy "because if he thinks this is a good idea he is lying..."

harry shook he head "no he doesn't and i hate lying, especially to him but i have a plan and i think it might work" harry tried not to sound too hopeful with the tone of his voice. he told himself to sound calm and so he hopes it came across that way.
