POV Louis

"Okay I get it. But please babe relax a bit, we not going to find him sooner if you are all stressed out. He send us a text that he is fine." Zayn says trying to calm Niall.

"Relax? How the hell can I relax! My best friend is somewhere outside. And his text means nothing. Of course he is not fine, he is in the dark and it's raining. " Niall yells.

Zayn walks over Niall and pushes him into a hug. "I know, I know. But we do everything what we can do to find him okay. We're not going anywhere if we all going to panic." He kisses Niall's head.

Niall takes a deep breath. "I know, but I'm really worried. Harry has no one, no family or friends except us."

"Where is his dad? Maybe he can help us?" Zayn proposes.

I can see Niall immediately getting tense. "Uhm yeah, no I don't think that's a good idea."

Curiosity takes over when I ask him. "Why not? I think it's the only thing we can do."

Niall runs his hand through his hair and doesn't look at us. "Uhm, the thing is they didn't really had a good relation with each other. And that's putting it mildly, you know. But that's not my story to tell, it's Harry's. But let me tell you that we shouldn't involve his father in this."

Harry has already indicated that his relationship with his father is difficult. But he never said what caused it. And I respect Niall's choice not to tell us, but I can't help but feel a bit of jealousy in my chest, by the feeling that he might know Harry better than I do.

"Okay, we won't. But now we're not getting anywhere." I say disappointed.

We all tried to call or text Harry. I even went for a drive in the city, hoping I would find him somewhere walking in the streets. But I didn't. It's now middle of the night, we have not slept because we are all so worried something bad happened to him. The police have already been informed, but they will only take it seriously if Harry has been 'missing' for longer than twenty four hours.

"Why don't you try to get some sleep, Louis and I will wake you up if we got any news." Zayn promised Niall.

Niall looks at Zayn like he got three heads. "You are not serious right? Because that's your dumbest idea ever! Harry is my friend of course I'm not going to sleep." Niall gets pretty cranky and grumpy when he's tired.

Zayn begins the discussion with Niall, which is probably not a good idea. I let myself fall on the couch, and rub my face with my hands. Thinking of solutions and trying muffle the arguing between Zayn and Niall. I'm desperate, until I hear my phone ringing. Niall and Zayn both stop arguing and look at me with hope in their eyes. I feel relieved because I think for a moment that Harry is calling me. But that feeling quickly disappears when I see that it is my mother.

"Mom? Why are you calling me this late?" I ask her, worried something is wrong.

"Louis William Tomlinson." Mom scolds me. "I raised you better than this!"

I'm stunned, I have no idea what she's talking about. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean? Harry of course! That poor boy." She says, but doesn't explain further.

I immediately get up from the couch. "Mom, is Harry with you? Did you saw him tonight? Where is he? Is he okay?"

"Yes he is with me." She sounds mad, but even then I feel like I can breath again knowing Harry is with her.

"Thanks god." I murmur.

"But no he is not okay, Louis. He told me in the car what happend between you guys. And you should be honest from the beginning with him Louis." My mother says, and I feel like a little kid again being spoken to by his parent.
