A Conspiracy

Chapter 5

Louis drove the entire road in silence just milling over everything and getting his thoughts in order. Dylan woke up just as they arrived in Doncaster.

D: Are we there yet, mommy?

L: Yes baby, we're almost at Nan's house.

D: Okay. Did you tell daddy?

L: Yeah, he called while you were asleep.

D: Okay. (He said sadly)

L: We won't be gone forever baby, don't worry.

...

They settled into Jay's house and Dylan momentarily forgot about his dad while he played with his youngest aunt and uncle. Louis however, was unable to forget about his Husband and everything he left behind in London. The only form of contact the two of them has was the message Louis sent Harry saying that they arrived safely in Doncaster.

That night after the kids all went to bed Jay made two cups of tea and then dragged her eldest into the living room.

Jay: Okay talk now.

L: About what?

J: As much as I love having you and Dylan here, this visit was unexpected and I didn't expect you to be here especially with everything going on and without Harry nonetheless.

L: It's just difficult, mum.

J: Harry swore that he didn't cheat, that's still the case right?

L: Yes it is. Harry hasn't cheated on me but the press is chaotic. If it were just me then I wouldn't mind but Dylan's caught in the crosshairs, so I thought coming here would be for the best. They aren't allowed near our families so he'll be safe here.

J: Louis, how long are you planning on staying here?

L: I don't know but I do know that Dylan has to stay out of London until Harry's done his interviews, until Sunday at least.

J: How long are you staying then?

L: I don't know, I really don't.

J: Harry's a strong boy and I know that he can handle 'most everything but that doesn't mean that he doesn't need your... his Husband's support. He needs you right now and how do you think the world; the media is going to take you leaving London while all of this is going on. Everyone's just going to assume that the rumours are true then.

L: I don't know how to handle it mum, I really don't. When all three of us are at home it feels amazing, like nothing else in the world exists but then Harry leaves or we turn the TV on it's all over, it's unavoidable and it's crazy. This whole situation is just a mess.

J: The question is then, what are you going to do about it?

L: I'm going to honour the vows I made on the day I got married.

J: That's my boy. (She smiled)

-Thursday Evening-

Harry had the entire day to try and wrap his head around the interview that he would be having that evening and the fact that his Husband and son weren't there only made the entire ordeal that much more difficult but he knew that he needed to power through for his Husband and son.

Stage hand: 30 minutes, Mr Styles.

H: Thanks. (He smiled nervously)

L: Thank goodness that there's still time. (He sighed walking towards Harry)
