A/N: Yep. I wasn't gonna leave you guys hanging for long. Lol. I hope this is okay because I tried to get it to you early. Guys Please give this chapter some votes. I know a lot of you are reading!

Aesthetic song- Everything, Lifehouse.

As soon as Louis parked, Harry unbuckled and jumped from the truck, grabbing his guitar out the back, and started storming up to the house before Louis could even open his door. Louis sighed and shook his head before climbing out and making his own way up the pathway to the house, thinking about the whole lake thing.

Inside, he greeted Anne, Fizzie, and Gemma, who were busy cutting fabric for the play costumes. The twins, who were still rehearsing lines, jumped up when they saw Louis, wrapping arms around him.

"Louis, I can't wait to rehearse my lines with the other kids tonight!" Phoebe grabbing his hand. Oh, Louis had almost forgotten they had rehearsals that night. He and Harry are supposed to meet up with Niall at the community center.

Daisy was excited. "Yeah, Louis, we have one hour before rehearsal starts. We'll go over them with you before we get to the center and forget them!"

Louis agreed, distractedly tussling their hair. He peered over to the kitchen and saw Harry pulling stuff out the fridge to cook.

"It's my fault we're home late," Louis said, looking at Anne. He caught her smiling to herself as she threaded a needle.

"No need to apologize. You are supposed to be enjoying your holidays," she said.

"I better help Harry speed up dinner," Louis mumbled as he made a move for the kitchen.

"No arguments here," Gemma chimed, gaining a condescending look from her mother. "What? I'm hungry!"

Louis eased into the kitchen and offered to wash the vegetables, making sure to speak in a chirpy casual tone to try to smooth the tension between them. Harry didn't answer, so he proceeded to help quietly.

He looked over Harry lit the stove. "What are you making tonight?"

"Food!" came the boy's harsh reply.

Louis heard the chair creak as Anne shot her head in the kitchen from over the open counter. "Harry, watch your tongue! That's no way to speak to your guest! What in the world has gotten into you!?"

Both boys jumped, startled that she had heard them speaking, and so they continued in silence as Harry prepared some sort of chicken stir fry.

Dinner was the usual chatter with Harry scooping extra portions for the eager girls and Louis stealing it away with his fingers resulting in screaming and laughter around the table. He kept looking at Harry who was sitting opposite him hoping for eye contact to tell if they were okay but he kept diverting his gaze to anything but Louis. He was disappointed though not disheartened as he still had hoped to reconcile on the way to the rehearsals at the primary school.

"Phoebe, how about you and Daisy ride with us to the community center? You guys haven't been in the truck yet!" Harry stated hopefully. Desperately, if Louis was correct.

Louis' head shot up, as the Phoebe answered excitedly. "Yes! I wanna go with Louis!!"

Determined not to be alone with me. Just great! he thought, feeling a bit discouraged now. He sighed, accepting that tonight Harry should probably be left to cool down. A fresh approach in the morning is best.

Louis was the first in the truck. He waited patiently for Harry and the girls to finish whatever dolling up they were doing, imaging Harry putting on his lip-gloss... He shifted the thought away as it started rushing to his other body parts.
