This year Jay somehow successfully persuaded Louis to go hunting door-to-door for candy.

She guessed it was because of their new neighbor, The Maliks, from Bradford.

The couple had a son who's two years younger than Louis.

When the two youngsters first met, they clicked in an instant and by the first hour they became the best of friends.

After a few months of playing and going to places with each other, they were inseparable and everything else was forgotten.

Even the very idea and memories of Harry grew distant and hazy.

"Louis, are you ready? Zayn's here!"

Jay called out by the door and turned around to the dark haired boy dressed in a character from Star Wars.

She smiled at him and crouched down to his level.

The boy was only five years old but he, like Louis, was very bright and smart for his age.

"Who are you supposed to be, Zayn?"

Jay asked with soft eyes that made Zayn blush.

Zayn tended to find his best friend's mum to be pretty.

Really, really pretty.

"L-Luke..."

Zayn mumbled and trailed off when louis showed up, running down the stairs in his Darth Vader costume.

They both were into Star Wars at the moment.

"Hi, Z!"

Louis smiled at his friend while observing his costume.

Zayn really did listen to him and wore the Luke Skywalker outfit.

That was one thing their friendship worked for this long:

Zayn obeyed Louis' every command.

It was great to be the older one.

"You boys ready?"

Jay asked, knowning how excited they were since this was both of their first time going trick-or-treating.

She didn't need an answer for it was shown in their giddy faces and elated little jumps.

Jay rounded the two chattering boys out of the house and locked the door for their absence to occupy the house would stretch longer than an hour, though there was no need to lock the door since The Tomlinson residence wasn't completely empty.

But Jay didn't know that, except for her innocent, naive son.

While the three were outside asking and recieving candy, a particular dedicated Halloween-er by the name of Harry stood by the window in Louis' room, watching the boy run around and forget about him slowly as he conversed and smiled with that Zayn boy from next door.

How foolish of Harry to get carried away from the original purpose to why he even brought himself into the blue eyed boy's life.

How pitiful.

The rest of the night was spent by filing and reflecting on his thoughts.

The thoughts of who and what he was now, thanks to that selfish woman which is the mother of the boy; and what he must do to serve the heist of the plan.

All this set out everything for Harry and he devoted himself to his revenge again.

But when the boy returned from his activites beyond the house and to his room where Harry hid, it was hard to be cruel and cold.
