Louis POV

It's been three days since I told Harry about that night, and I've messaged him once. I just can't forgive myself. The boys all came round last night for 'the chat' telling me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to reach out to Harry. I know I should, but I just don't know what to say.

Today was my first day back in work, I had been putting it off, but I couldn't let my business fall apart too, although I know it was in good hands, it's not Annes responsibility to keep the shop going.

I arrived at around 10am, staying in the office most of the day. I said I had lots of paperwork to deal with, though to be honest I was just hiding away. I hated myself for being like this.

So, this evening I'm sat in my PJs watching re-runs of the Office when there's a knock on the door. I wasn't expecting anyone. The lads had been round the night before. Maybe it's someone selling something.

I opened the door and to my surprise there stood Anne and her husband Frank. "surprise" they both greeted me before walking in. I knew they were here to talk as this had happened once before when I had a falling out with my mum and I hid away for a while.

"Come in" I laughed at them both stood in the kitchen making three cups of tea. eventually the three of us sitting down in the living room. My duvet still placed over the back of the sofa.

"Louis, you've been avoiding me all day, hiding in your office, you've taken days off work, and we are worried about you" I sat looking down at my feet, I knew she was right.

'And now we have arrived to bedding in your living room and days of washing up in the sink.' They both continued to look at me waiting for a response, but I couldn't.

"What wrong son? you know you can talk with us; we will never judge, we just want to help" Frank always called me son, he really was the nicest fella. I loved them both dearly.

I explained what had happened that Saturday night and that I had told Harry. I explained how he was coming to spend Christmas with me but i hadn't spoken to him since and had sent just the one message. I had also ignored a few messages sent from Harry.

"Okay, and what do you want?" Frank asked. "Do you want to spend Christmas with Harry; do you want to be in a relationship with him? These are the questions you need to answer."

I looked up at them both looking at me with soft faces. "More than anything" I replied.

"Then don't let this slip away, don't live with the regret of wishing you had tried"

They were right I knew this. I knew I had to try no matter what the outcome would be.

We finished our cups of tea before the three of us made our way into the Kitchen. I'll wash, Frank dry and you can put away" Anne took charge although I did tell her I would do it.

Now go get your man. See you tomorrow darling" Anne gave me a hug followed by Frank. "Thank you so much, I love you both"

They both left and I was left with a tidy house, all I needed now was a plan, but first of all I needed to message someone.

Louis - I'm missing you like crazy. Please forgive me xxx

Making my way to bed, dragging my duvet behind me. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully will be a better one.
