"The number you've dialed is busy at the moment, please try later."

The annoying voice rang in Louis's ear as he tried to call Zayn for the fifth time today. This had started to become the norm. Zayn never picked up his phone these days. He was always with Liam. Not that Louis was jealous or anything but he really missed his little boy, his brother from another mother. Louis feared that the two might have been falling apart; it killed him inside, because he had known Zayn the longest, loved Zayn the longest. He didn't want to lose Zayn. He sighed throwing his phone on his bed and falling on the chair in his room. He ran a hand of frustration through his hair and face, not knowing what to do. It had been Louis and Zayn for the longest of time and now it was Louis and Zayn and Liam and Niall and Harry. Truth be told Louis didn't know how to deal with this.

Their friendship was a big part of what made Louis who he is. He knows it sounds cheesy, but it's true. When they first became friends, he clung on to that friendship with a death grip. But slowly, he started to feel comfortable enough to open up to Zayn, Zayn doing the same and so he was able to begin evolving into his own person. They didn't know they were making memories, they were just having fun.

Flashback:

"Louis you idiot! That's not how you make a tent!" a ten year old Zayn exclaimed, laughing at his best friend. They were camping with their families, and Louis and Zayn were in charge of making the tents while the others collected wood.

"Shut up Zayn! I know what I'm doing!!" Louis argued, but much to his dismay the plastic pipe fell on his feet making him hiss in pain while Zayn laughed his ass off.

"Stop laughing at me" Louis said, holding his foot and glaring at Zayn. Zayn grinned wide and sat next to Louis, who was being a drama queen.

"You're an idiot." Zayn retorted, smiling wide. Louis frowned.

"Why do you always call me an idiot? It's mean." Louis questioned with a pout. Zayn put his hand on Louis's shoulder.

"That's just my way of saying, 'I love you'" The raven haired lad whispered.

End of flashback.

Louis smiled at the memory, that was the first time he discovered Zayn's unique way of saying I love you, and since that day he loved to hear Zayn call him an idiot.

"B-but it's not even Halloween guys!" Zayn argued, the boys wanted to go over the apparently haunted house at the end of the street. Liam put an arm around Zayn's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze.
