Louis' POV
-
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HARRY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!" Everyone sung. I watched as Harry blew out the 14 candles that were on the cake Anne and I had made. It's had blue frosting with dark purple writing. Harrys (and mine) family cheered. "14 girlfriends!!" Lottie cheered, giggling.

I frowned, Harry and I still hadn't come out yet. It had been a year and I couldn't lie, it was my fault. I was afraid, I didn't even know why. And it wasn't that I was afraid to come out, I was afraid that if we did things would change.

Harry glanced at me giving me a sad expression, he wanted to come out badly. I sighed looking down, I couldn't deal with the stress. Anne took the cake into the kitchen and started calling everyone in to get a pice. Once everyone was out of the room Harry walked over to me. "Lou.." He mumbled, wrapping his arms around me. "Look I know.. Just a little longer, yeah? Then everyone will be gone and no one will ask about girlfriends and such.. Okay?" I nodded, clinging onto him. Cold lips were placed on my check, but then left quickly. I pouted slightly, but I knew that someone could walk in any minute. "Let's go get some cake.." I offered, trying to hide my disappointment. The curly headed boy nodded excitedly, he laced our fingers together and dragged to to the kitchen. Anne handed us each a pice, then brought Harry over to say hi to some of his cousins.

"Louis," the man behind me said, tapping my shoulder. I turned around to see my dad, Mark, and four little sisters standing behind him. I loved my sisters, but I almost never seen them. Lottie was holding Daisy and Fizz was holding Phoebe. I smiled at them, I knew they were here, but I hadn't seen them much. "Hi.." I said weakly.

As much as I loved my sisters, I hated my dad. But I didn't hate him as much as I did my birth dad, Troy. He left me and my mum when I was little and I never forgave him. He ran off with another woman and a couple years later Georgia was born. Mark wasn't as bad, he took care of me and my mum for about a year then left. He had Lottie almost a year before Georgia was born. Then Fizz, then the twins. I never met Marks new girlfriend, but I didn't really care.

(((A\N: in this book Lottie; 7. Fizz; 5. Twins; 1. An I know Georgia isn't really in his life, but she is in the book, she's also 7, but barely. And the 4 girls are Marks, but not Jays. I know that's not how it is, but pretend!! So yeah... Continue!!)))

"Hi kiddo.. Your mum invited us, hope you didn't mind. The girls really wanted to see you and Harry, but we've got to get going. Long drive, you know how it is" Mark said, attempting to make a joke. Ignoring him I walked over to Fizz, taking Phoebe from her and talking her hand. "Come on girls.." I said quietly, "let's go get you buckled, Lottie come.." Lottie bounced behind me, making sure not to bounce Daisy too much. The girls got their shoes on and headed out to the car.
"Lou.." Lottie whined, "I don't know how to do this!!" She was trying to do up the complicated carseat that had at least four clips, Mark instead was safer. Really it was just expensive and a pain. "Here," Harrys deep voice said quietly. I jumped hearing him, I didn't even know he was there. "Let me help.." Lottie nodded stepping back. "S'thanks Harry!!" She said giving him a hug. "Harreh!! Happy 'irthday Harreh!!" Fizzy said jumping up and down, grabbing onto his arm. He smiled lifting her up and placing her in his hip. "Thank you!!" He smiled tickling her sides, "I'll see you soon alright? Now, go get your brother." I stared at him in awe as Fizzy hugged him.

Harry had always been really good with kids, especially my sisters. They had met him many times and just adored him. He would let them do his hair and play dolls with them, as would I, but Harry had always been much better at it.

"Bye Harry!!" Lottie sung, "come visit us soonnn!!!" Her little arms wrapped around his torso. He patter her head slightly before kneeling down. "I will see you real soon, okay?" She nodded. "Good girl, now go get Lou.. I'll see you soon!" He called as she ran around the car. Once he stood up he gave me a reassuring smile and started off back inside.

"Bye LouLou!!" Both girls cheered, attaching themselves to my legs. I picked them both up. "Give me hugs," I said and both instantly gave me big hugs. "Will we see you soon?" Lottie asked, her little voice shaking. I pulled back to see tears streaming down her face. Gasping I whipped them away quickly. "Charlotte! Of course you will, don't be silly!!" I said assuringly, "I'll come see you soon and I'll bring Harry!" She nodded and let out a shaky "ok-kay.." The girls climbed into the van, I pressed a quick kiss to each of their heads before closing the door.

Mark was walking out the front door. "Are they all ready to go, son?" He asked. I cringed at the name, I was not his son. "Yeah, Mark. They're ready.." I mumbled brushing past him. He sighed, "Louis. I told you. Call me dad, not Mark.." Ignoring him I walked back into the Styles house. My mother stood by the door, crossing her arms. "Louis. What was that?" She looked so disappointed, "look hun, I know you don't like him. But he did a lot for us when you were young.. And there is nothing he wouldn't do, if you'd just give him a chance!" Groaning I said, "no. I don't like him, I never will! He left us!! I love my sisters, but I hate that man.." The look on my mums face couldn't have been worse, I couldn't feel like more of a monster. "Louis Tomlinson!" She gasped, "how dare you say that about your father! He may not be the best man, but he's the reason you are here right now!! If he didn't step in I would have lost you! Do you understand that?"

Harry's POV
-
I walked into the living room to see Jay and Louis fighting. "Do not call him my father! I hate the man and I don't care what he did!!" Louis screamed, storming out of the room. He ran up the stairs and into my room, slamming the door. I looked at Jay who had tears in her eyes.
"He doesn't mean it! He's just upset right now, I'll go talk to him.." I said quietly. Nodding, Jay wiped her eyes. "I'm going to head home, happy birthday sweetie.." She said sadly. I gave her a hug, then ran up to my room.

"Lou.." I said tapping on my door, it opened slightly. "BooBear are you in here?" Louis was not in my room, but the window was open. I walked over to it and climber through the tree, as I had been doing ever since we were young. Louis window was closed, but it was easy to open. "Lou?" I asked stepping inside. His room was messy and very unorganized, unlike mine. He wasn't in here either. "Jay!" I called as I ran down the stairs, "is Louis with you?" She was in the sitting room wiping her eyes. "I thought he was with you.." She said standing up. I shook my head, "can't find him anywhere.."
