The Child Dreamer

Chapter 3

"Louis sit down." Liam said. I stuck my tongue out at him and sat down.

"Ok. Here you go Louis." The lady set a plate in front of me. It had chicken and mashed potatoes and broccoli.

"Ew. Broccoli." I pushed the plate away.

"Louis. Just eat your vegetables." Niall said.

"You only have to eat one Louis. Ok?" The lady smiled at me.

"Ok." I pulled the plate back. I held out my hands so we could pray.

"Dear our Lord. Bless this house and make sure we get all the nutrients from this food. And watch over everyone else. Amen." Simon finished. We all said Amen and dug in. We all ate kind of in silence. Except for when Simon started to talk. "So Niall, Zayn, Liam and Harry. We are going into town tomorrow to meet Lou's parents."

"T-town? What if there's?" Zayn almost choked.

"Zayn. I assure you. No one will follow us. I will make sure we have special items to keep us hidden."

"Simon you know only that bullshit works on Louis." Zayn replied.

"Hey!" I said. "Wait what are we talking about?"

"Exactly my point." Zayn pointed to me.

"Put your finger down! It's not nice to point!"

"Who said that? One of Harry's imaginary people? Or bossy Liam here?!"

"Hey! They are real people!" Harry yelled.

"Ya well where are they?"

"They eat later!"

"Uh huh." Zayn rolled his eyes.

"I'm not bossy!!" Liam yelled.

"Yes you are! You tell us what to do all the time!"

"Shut up!"

"Exactly!!"

"Hey guys please!"

"We didn't need the sex addicts opinion."

"Dude! I'm just trying to be nice!"

"Boys!!" Simon yelled. "Enough!!"

"I'm going back into my idiot free room." Zayn took his plate and glass and walked up the stairs. "Thanks Eleanor." He kept walking.

"I'm not eating anymore." I said.

"Louis stop being stupid and eat." Liam said.

"You're not my boss!!" I yelled.

"LIAM SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!" Simon yelled. "Stop. Now. You're just making things worse!"

Liam mumbled something and kept eating. Harry was silent and so was Niall.

"I think Zayn is on his period." I said. Harry started to laugh. So did Niall, Liam and the lady.

"Where did you hear that Louis?!"

"Uh. Nowhere."

"Louis."

"Hanson." I admitted.

Simon let out a deep breath. "Just eat please. We all need to calm down ok? It's been a stressful day."

"Ok." So I kept eating and after I was done Harry helped me wash my hands. "I'm dirty." I laughed.

"Ya Lou Bear. You need a shower."

"But I don't wanna!"

"Louis you know you have to take one every other day."

"But Henry."

"It's Harry. You know I'm the only one who calls you Lou Bear."

"Ya. But do I have to take a bath?"

"Yes Lou. Come on let's go. Get into your swim trunks."

"Ok..." I slowly walked upstairs and Harry followed behind me. I slowed down more.

"Lou."

"I don't wanna!"

"Move it, come on."

"Now you're like Liam!" I whined. I walked up the steps again and then just sat down. I didn't move. I crossed my arms and sat there.

"You're going to be difficult now aren't you?" Harry smiled. "Alright now." He lifted me off of the stairs.

"No! No!" I cried out. He picked me up by my underarms and made me walk up the steps. "Harry!!" I yelled.

"Louis. Now. I'll get Simon."

"No! Please no! I'll go I'll go!!" I walked up the steps and ran into my room.

"Louis where are your trunks?" He asked.

"Um. I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders.

"You need to find them. Or else you're going to have to take a shower with mine."

"Aw man..fine. They're in my toy chest. I think." I ran to my toy box and opened it up. Inside was my toy trucks. And my doll. Yes I have a doll. Harry-I mean Hanson gave it to me. Then I found them. My striped swimming trunks. "I found them! I found them!" I held them in the air.

"Ok. I'll turn around and you put them on ok?"

"Ok. But turn around!" I looked and he did. So I quickly pulled my pants and underwear down and put on my trunks. "Ok all done!" I put my hands in the air.

"Ok now come on. Let's grab a towel and get you in the tub." I still had my shirt on. I walked out of the room and to the bathroom. Harry shut the door behind us and grabbed a towel. He turned on the tub and let the water rise up. I stood watching for a while. But then I had the sudden urge to go potty.

"Uh Harry?"

"Ya Lou?" He asked. He turned around. I was holding my crotch trying not to pee my pants. "Oh. Ok. Here I'll close my eyes and you can go pee."

"Ok." I opened the toilet seat and pulled my pants down. Then I held my peewee and peed. After I was done I put it back in my pants and pulled my pants up. I flushed the toilet. "Ok I'm done now Harry." He turned around.

"Ok the bath is ready Lou Bear. Come here." I walked to him. "Arms up Lou." I lifted my arms and Harry pulled my shirt off. "Get in." I stepped into the tub and sat down. "You know Lou Bear you have to learn how to take showers on your own sometime."

"Will you teach me Harry?"

"Of course Lou."

"Promise?"

"Promise." He smiled and I smiled too. I splashed the water a bit.

"Swoosh!" I splashed more.

"Lou-" then he paused. Again he was changing people. "Boo Bear."

"Hanson!!" Hanson is the only part of Harry that calls me Boo Bear. I hugged him.

"Ya. Stop splashing baby doll. You'll get me wet." He grabbed a cup and put water over my head. I spit it out and slumped. "Boo. Stop. Please."

"Sorry Hanson."

"It's ok baby doll. Here now let's get you all soapy." He put soap in his hands and rubbed it on my head. I tried to sit still.
