"Alright Liam, you better get here and fast. I don't think Harry'll be able to swallow the truth the second time." The second time? What did he mean by that? Did I black out again? "Yeah, we just saw Louis, he didn't expect it, heck, even I didn't expect it." What did Niall mean he didn't expect it? Why did I black out? Nothing seemed to fit correctly until my brain started churning then quickly transitioned into overdrive and suddenly, my heart was pounding out of my ears. Everything made sense now.

My eyes snapped open to the source of Niall's unbearably hushed voice, only to discover him by the door, leaning to it casually with a phone at his ear and a serious expression on his face. Even from the side, Niall looked horrible. He had bags under his eyes, his curses came out in low rumbles as he held on tightly to his phone. "Fuck, yeah. Please come and.. Uh.. Don't bring him with you or I might do something I'll regret." Niall heaved a deep sigh as he stroke his blonde hair back, ruffling it slightly, letting his phone be chuck down the couch where he headed to and drifting his eyes into my direction, eyes immediately widening in the process as he lunges for me.

"HAZ YOU'RE AWAKE!!" he bellowed, asking me constantly if I was okay and if I'm still hurting. I told him I was fine and that I overreacted, but, was I okay though? I just found where my boyfriend was, only to discover that he was one of those doll things that was advertised in that commercial. Niall must've known what I was thinking, cursing slightly under his breath. "Look Haz, I know it's a surprise for you, heck, I don't think I expected such thing, but we'll get through this together, alright? I mean, we can.. we can uh.. We can finally move in together and--"

"No."

"What?"

"No as in no Niall." I repeated

He looked at me sympathetically, his mouth opening, then closing like a goldfish. "Haz, Louis'.. Louis' a-a doll Haz.. How can you... How can you deal with that?" my blood boiled, head pounding ever-so-slightly before I spoke. "I.. I don't know Niall, I--" both our heads snapped to the rapping on the wooden door. "'Bout time." Niall says lowly, argument momentarily forgotten, not bothering looking over the keyhole and opening the door in the matter of seconds. "Ah Liam, you're here." he smiles towards Liam's direction, opening the door wide enough for the boy to enter. Liam only nodded stiffly, pulling me in for a brief hug ,the cotton of his jumper slightly rubbing against me for a second. Then, like Niall, he started asking me if I was okay, that if I was hurt in any way. I told him a small 'no', then followed where his brown eyes had stopped at the moment he had stopped and paused mid-breath to a sentence.

"Is that him?" he asks in nothing but a whisper.

"Yeah." me and Niall said in unison.

Liam only nodded, approaching the boy and grabbing him by the chin. My hand gripped on the arms of the couch as I got up the moment the boy got too close for my liking. Niall only grappled onto my arm with a stern expression on his face and a shake of his head murmuring a 'not now' on a low serious tone. When I looked back to the boy, Liam, he was nodding in every angle, analyzing Louis' whole structure with an unfathomable expression. Niall kept his grip tighter on my forearm as he also looks over curiously at Liam's shoulder. "Everything alright Li?" Niall asks, his posture unchanged.

Liam blinked a few more times before nodding and went towards our direction, looking at his feet just slightly before looking up. "You weren't kidding," he snorted, briefly eyeing Louis. "he's really a doll." I tried not to flinch at that. Niall could only bob his head curtly, wanting for Liam to continue. 

"So, technically, this guy is one of the oldest versions of the Syco!Inc model... It's always the same protocol, so if you want him to wake up, just kiss him or something." he suggested authoritatively. Niall snapped his eyes to me and nodded encouragingly, holding his thumb up, his brows furrowed and a sad grin etched on his face. I smiled a small smile, squeezing his shoulders just slightly in understanding before padding towards Louis, instantly looming over his small figure.
