"I don't want you going," Harry said, leaning against a wall
Louis turned to Harry and frowned "Why not?"
Harry gave him a look "I don't know Louis, maybe because every time someone got in there, they died"
Louis smiled at him "Liam didn't"
"Liam was isolated for 16 years"
Louis walked towards Harry and hugged him, Harry hugged Louis back tightly "You won't leave me for 16 years, would you?"
Harry smiled weakly "I can't control that if I'm dead"
"You'll be fine Harry," Louis said pulling away, he stepped on his toes and kissed Harry's cheek
"We'll be fine"
~~~~~
"Payno"
"Hmm?"
"Mind if I come in?" Liam gripped the throw blanket and nodded "It's uh, Niall by the way"
Liam laughed quietly under his breath "I know your voice Niall, but thanks for the confirmation"
Niall smiled and walked in, he sat down across from Liam and they both stayed quiet for a moment
"I'm sorry"
Liam furrowed his brows "Why?"
"We should've been there, visited you and all" He whispered
Liam patted down beside him and Niall sat down in that space, Liam hugged him and Niall hugged Liam back
He hid his face in Liam's neck and took a deep breath
"Niall"
"Hmm?"
"You were always my favorite"
Niall smiled "Yeah?"
Liam nodded with a smile "Yeah"
"Even more than Louis? You both were always close"
"Yeah!!"
Niall stayed quiet and then looked up at Liam "Even more than Zayn"
Liam stayed quiet "I think I liked Zayn a little differently"
Zayn smiled "Is it the wrong time to say I feel the same?"
Liam blushed and shoved Niall off "YOU KNEW HE WAS THERE!!"
Niall laughed "I promise he came in at the final moment"
Liam shook his head and stood up, He was about to walk off when Zayn slowly slid an arm around his waist
Liam gasped and turned to him, Zayn kissed Liam's forehead and Liam smiled
And Liam could swear he heard Niall squeaking in the background
"When we come back from this, you're staying with me, no going back to that place"
Liam smiled "Are you sure?"
Zayn kissed his forehead "Yeah"
~~~~~
They ducked under the caution tape and all 5 looked at the house
Harry stayed quiet then looked at Louis "Please... Please go back"
Louis shook his head "I'm not going back Hazza, our friends are going in and so am I"
Liam frowned and Niall looked at him "Is everything OK?"
Liam blinked and nodded "Yeah" He mumbled then looked ahead
"Let's go?" Niall said and Liam, Zayn, and Louis nodded as Harry let out a quiet
