Kayla shook her head when I was done explaining. "I can move you and the girls to another relative in another town-"

"I don't want to leave Harry. He understands-"

"I know, I know," Kayla calmed. "But you also need to stand on your own, Louis."

I shook my head. "No. Kayla, I need Harry." Tears filled my eyes. "Please."

Kayla shook her head softly. "This is what's happening, Louis."

I opened my mouth but closed it. What Kayla said stuck. She probably already had it set up. I really wouldn't have  choice. "Fine."

"It's for the-"

"I said fine." I crossed my arms and looked away from her.

"You can't shut down, either."

"You're taking away my only support and then telling me to not shut down?" I snapped.

Kayla pressed her lips together. "Not forever-"

"Might as well! He'll forget about me and I'll lose my best friend." I looked down and shook my head. "My only friend."

Kayla called my name so I looked at her with a sigh. "Harry won't forget you. Do you really think that boy is going to forget you? Your sisters need you, Louis. You need them."

I need Harry, I thought stubbornly. Kayla stood up and walked to the waiting room, calling in Harry. I didn't look up, instead choosing to keep my gazed locked on the floor.

"What's going on?" Harry asked.

"I think that Louis moving in with his relatives-"

"You said he could stay with me," Harry argued. "Kayla-"

"You both need to be able to go on without each other."

"Not if we want to date! Not if I want to be with him!" Harry argued. "Kayla, you can't do this!"

I looked at Harry. He wanted to date me?  I liked Harry... I think I like him anyways. He cares about me, and I don't want to leave him.

"We talked about this, Harry," Kayla reminded calmly. Harry glanced at me then back to Kayla.

"This isn't fair. This so isn't fair."

I chewed on my lip and kept my head down. Leaving Harry was terrifying. What if I got hurt again? Or started school? I don't even remember how school works. I needed Harry. I always needed Harry, and now he was getting ripped away.

"Louis is reliant on you, Harry. We're trying to get him to be able to stand on his own, remember?"

I looked over at Harry. His jaw was set and he looked down before looking back up at Kayla. "Do you even have permission to remove everyine yet, or is this just a plan you have in case-"

"Yes, they're packing right now. Lottie is very supportive of Louis-"

"What about Fizzy? The twins? They weren t hurt-"

"No, but they've been neglected. You all need the opportunity to be kids again, and you won't get that if Louis is around and you feel like you constantly have to protect him." Kayla folded her hands together and looked back and forth.

"What about Louis never getting a fucking say?" Harry snapped. I looked over at him, knitting my eyebrows together. "Since he was kidnapped, he's been told what to do and it hasn't changed since he's been away from them!"

Kayla turned her attention to me, but I looked down. "Louis-"

"It doesn't matter. They're all getting ready to leave," I dismissed.

It was quiet for a few seconds, but I didn't look up. I pulled at my sleeves and let out a long breath. I didn't want to leave Harry, but he was right. I probably wouldn't ever get what I wanted, because he took me, and now I don't know how to function and I don't know what I should want , so someone else has to decide for me.

Harry grabbed my hand. "Look at me, Louis."

I stubbornly did, hoping it looked like I wasn't ready to cry for the millionth time. "What?"

"Breathe, that's the first thing I want you to do." I nodded and let go of a deep breath. "Okay, it's okay. What do you want to do?"

"It doesn't matter and I don't want to argue about it." I looked away from Harry. "It doesn't matter."

Harry sighed. Kayla stood up and I looked at her. "Louis, we're supposed-"

"We're supposed to do a lot of things!" I yelled. "I'm over it!"

"Louis-"

"I just wanna go," I whispered. "I don't care where, I just want to go."
