Louis’ POV
I decided on giving that poor stranger some cookies. Tom had most likely peed somewhere, I had to apologise, so I had baked some cookies, chocolate chip too.
I tasted one, smiling as the sugary sweetness crumbled into my mouth. Mmmm. I wrapped them up in some foil, checking the address and walking over to his place.
I didn’t want to be face to face with this guy, so I looked around, there was a big enough tree to hide behind. I placed the cookies at the doorstep, knocking and sprinting down the road to the tree.
I hid behind it, poking my head out to see the door.
I spotted the door open, a mop of chesnut curls coming into view. He picked up the foil, opening it and smiling, I could see a dimple from this far away.
He read the small piece of paper I had encased with it.
He looked up, looking around for who had sent it, luckily he didn’t spot me. Phew. The door closed and I ran out, down the road and away from the stranger, he looked oddly familiar though. Strange.

I had Vanessa and Zoe over as we all watched tv at my place.
Vanessa had Tom on her lap while Zoe looked like she was about to doze off, it was only 9:50. But I couldn’t focus on the tv, my mind kept wandering back to that stranger I couldn’t put my finger on who he looked like, I was too far away to see who it was properly.
I looked back to the girls, Vanessa was leaning her head on Tom, and Zoe was full on asleep on the couch, her head resting on Vanessa’s shoulder.
Even though Zoe had changed personality wise those two were still very close. It amazed me how Vanessa put up with her but Zoe and I were alike, sassy and a bit rude.
If she could put up with me, she could put up with Zoe. She still had a soft side and it was beginning to show a bit more ever since she had started dating Liam, she has started smiling more than usual and sometimes even looks like she cares, not that she doesn’t, she just shows it more obviously.
Also Vanessa has her way with Zoe but then again Vanessa has her way with most people, she can make a lot of things fun, it always ends with a laugh from her. She’s so goofy and cute, maybe that’s why her and Niall bonded so well.
Probably.
I tucked them in a blanket, removing Tom first and laying him in his little bed.
I hopped into bed myself, kissing the small picture of Harry that sat above my bed and staring at the picture, he was so cute and innocent back then, where did it all go? I sighed, placing the picture back and snuggling under the covers.

“Louis, Louis, Louis” someone was shaking me.
“Ugh” I grunted.
“Me and Zoe are leaving now” Vanessa whispered.
“Bye guys” I mumbled, my eyes still shut.
She kissed my forehead, as I heard footsteps and then the door shut.
“Meow” Tom jumped on my face, licking my cheek.
“Tom” I groaned.
I felt his soft paw, pat my nose, more noises from him. He wanted to be fed. I picked him up as I got out of bed, holding him under my arm as I got his food, pouring some of it into his bowl.
He ate up as I went back to bed, hiding under the doona, it was so warm and comfy.
