A/N: I am in no way supporting or endorsing the calling out of lgbt people before they are ready to come out themselves if THEY so wish. You need to be in a place of trust and confidence to come out to someone and it takes loads of courage and time. It could go south pretty quick if you play the hero like my Louis here. This is a work of fiction so please do not call out or expose anyone you suspect or know to be part of the lgbt community. If it's a friend or family member just be there for them whenever they need to talk and be super supportive and encouraging.

Louis POV
The next morning, Louis cheerfully dragged his sisters' luggage out to Gemma's car. He wasn't happy that they were leaving, per say, just happy that he was staying. The guilt of not going to Wales to see Ernie and Dory had not quite sunk in yet. Nothing in Louis' brain was telling him that cutting time with his siblings was a bad idea. He had given Anne, his sisters, and his father all these 'excuses' as to why he was staying but the truth, he kept to himself; Harry.
"I'm going to miss you so much!" Anne mumbled, hugging the life out of Fizzie. She moved to Lottie and planted a large kiss on her blonde head. "I don't know when I'll get to see you again."
"We'll surely come back. I love it here," Lottie added as he piled her bag in the car.
Phoebe and Daisy were busy saying goodbye to Cliff as the dog licked their faces and made whiny noises at them. Phoebe had taken the news of him staying an extra week pretty well, considering. The past two weeks had been good for her and she had been getting better with each passing day they had been on the farm. Louis hoped that Phoebe and Daisy seeing Ernie and Dory again and Fizzie and Lottie's presence would make up for him not being there for a while.
"He's going to miss you two," Harry piped, looking at them play with the dog. He reached out and stole his last hugs from them, with Louis daydreaming of getting one too.
A steadfast Gemma walked over and quietly nudged Louis, as he put the luggage in the trunk.
"You have time while I drop the girls off to convince Mum!" she whispered. "Call me as soon as she caves so I can tell Aiden!"
Louis rolled his eyes. "You have to give me a few days! She isn't going to say yes just like that."
Gemma almost caught a fit. "It has to be today. He's leaving tomorrow for a trip to California; Something for his uncle. Look, just hit her that million dollar smile you got and real her in." She gave him a wink and settled herself in the car.
Million-dollar smile...If it was so convincing then why is Harry not reeled in.
"This week is gonna fly in no time and I'll be in Wales with you guys before you know it!" Louis said, hugging each of his sisters before they descended into Gemma's car. She was to drive them back to Doncaster where they were going to prepare for their flight to Wales the following day. He, Anne, Harry, and Cord waved to them as they drove off and turned to Harry just as Fizzie was waving to the boy.
Harry looked at him like he had just realized he was staying. He shot him a 'yikes-its-just-me-and-him-now' look that caused a little giggle to escape Louis. Anne swung her head around, her loose hair hitting Harry's face, making his eyes flutter, and Louis laugh harder.
"Someone's ecstatic!" she observed. Louis put his hand to his mouth in an effort to contain himself. "I'm glad you decided to stay longer. But I fear when you leave my heart will shatter because it's close to breaking right now."
