This one's for you wadehekmen ♥️

Louis woke up from a really weird dream. At first, he didn't recognize where he was but a second later he acknowledged his old wallpapers in his bedroom in Doncaster.

He sat up and scratched his head. How the hell did he end up here? Yesterday was pretty blurry but he could swear that he had been on tour in Sydney with the band. Did he fly home? Fuck! They must be so pissed at him.

He got up and looked for his phone but it was nowhere to be seen. He wrinkled his eyebrows when he noticed that his room was pretty dusty. Oh well, his mum had enough to handle, taking care of six children. Of course, she didn't dust his room regularly since he was never home. He had told her to give one of his siblings his room but his mum had refused, telling him that he would always have his room. He appreciated that. His mum was the best!

He had fallen asleep fully clothed. That was always uncomfortable but sometimes he was just too tired after a show. He headed downstairs and he could hear his siblings bicker and smiled fondly. He had missed them.

He walked into the kitchen.
"Hi, guys!"

He furrowed his eyebrows. It looked like his siblings but they were older. Lottie dropped a pan with porridge and screamed. The porridge splattered all over the kitchen.

Daisy and Phoebe started to cry.
"Louis?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry for just showing up like this. When did you grow up? Wait, is that Doris and Ernie? Where's Fizzy and Mum?" Louis asked. He was so confused.

His siblings came over and hugged him. They were crying hysterically.
"Where have you been? We thought you were dead! We had a funeral for you." Lottie said.

Louis just stared at them.
"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You've been missing for four years, Louis!" Phoebe said.

He took a step back.
"Missing?"

He was starting to panic. What was going on?
"Where's mum?"

She knew how to handle this. His mum was always so calm. He was sure there was a reasonable explanation. Lottie teared up.
"Oh, Louis. She died three years ago. Leukemia."

"W...what?" Louis questioned and immediately teared up. This must be some cruel joke.

"Fizzy died a month ago." Daisy said and bit her lower lip.

"How?" Louis whispered. He had gone pale.

"Overdose." Phoebe explained.

Louis' head was spinning. He sat down and buried his face in his hands. A deep sob tore through his chest and he started to cry uncontrollably. His sisters hugged him.
"I don't understand. What year is it?" Louis managed to get out.

"2019." Lottie informed him.

He stared at her in total shock. He just lost four years of his life?
