So maybe we could use this cord for the ending.” Louis says and strums the cord. Harry nods as he plays the cord on the piano.

“It could work.” Harry says. He looks at the clock and groans. “Why haven’t we been working on this until now? We spent the whole day working on just the music.” Harry complains. He leans backwards, planning to fall on the floor with a loud thump, but Louis catches him instead.

“Falling on your back and hurting yourself isn’t the answer Marc.” Louis says, kissing his forehead and pulls Harry off of the bench and into his arms.

“No, but it may make me feel better.” Harry grumbles, nuzzling his nose into Louis’ neck.

“You are such an idiot you know that?” Louis kisses Harry’s head with a chuckle.

"And you're a dick, did you know that?" Harry counters, cuddling closer to Louis.

"Yeah I know that, but you love me anyway." Louis teases as Harry just rolls his eyes.

"You keep believing that." Harry mumbles and pulls away from Louis when he heard the doorknob turn. Seconds later Anne walks in with two plates of pizza balancing on her arm and two cups in her hand.

"Here's food guys, I wouldn't suggest eating near the instruments, but they aren't mine to ruin so do what you want." She says handing them their food."Haz can I talk to you for a minute?”  Anne asks and Harry nods, sneaking in a kiss on Louis' cheek when Anne turns around, and follows her out the door. “We’ll be right back Louis." Anne says then shuts the door.

“Harry I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something.” Anne starts as she walks down the hallway.

“What is it mum? Is something wrong?” Harry asks worriedly.

“Possibly.” she paused. “Doesn’t Louis remind you of someone? Someone who hurt you?” She asks not so subtly.

“Like?” Harry asks wondering what she was talking about.

“Eli, Harry. Louis looks and acts exactly like Eli.” Anne tells him bluntly. Anne knows about some of Eli and Harry’s past, not anywhere near as much as Leeroy and Gemma, now, knows. She met Eli once and immediately knew he was bad news. He was rude, conceited, self absorbed, he bossed Harry around like he was Neil's slave. She knew it was She really only knows that Eli had a bad impact on Harry's life and in the end hurt Harry extremely bad. She doesn't know what happened, but she does know Harry was so upset he didn't come out of his room for 2 weeks.

“Mum Louis isn’t like Eli.” Harry says defensively.

“Harry-”

“No you don’t know anything about him! He may look a lot like Eli, but they are completely different. Eli was a dick that only cared about himself. Louis actually cares about me and I know he does! He wouldn’t be here if he didn’t because I kept turning him down, but he still kept trying. Eli wouldn’t have done that and if Louis didn’t care he wouldn’t either.” Harry says angrily.

“Harry I just don’t want you to get hurt again. He hurt you so badly I just don’t want it to happen again! You won't even tell me what happened so I don't know what I should and shouldn't be worried about. I’m sorry I’m worried about you.” Anne snaps at him.

“Okay, I understand, but mum he isn’t like Eli. He won’t hurt me like Eli. I know he won’t.” he says and pulls her into a hug. “I understand where you’re coming from, but you have to understand that I can make my own choices and I need to make my own mistakes. I’ve learned from Eli and believe me I won’t make the same mistakes.” he says and pulls back.
