Abandoned (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Louis leaned against a tree, sighing with his back turned to Liam. He was waiting for him to be done getting undressed so that they could bathe themselves in the lake.

"Can I look now?!" Louis yelled, visibly irritated.

He heard a splash as Liam jumped in the water. The other boys were already in. They didn't mind seeing each other naked, but Liam was sort of private about it. Louis didn't blame him. He was too.

"You can come in now, Lou!" Zayn called.

Louis proceeded to take off his shirt and pants, and reluctantly, his underwear. He slid into the cool lake, and felt himself chuckle as Harry and Niall had a splash war.

"So," Zayn said to Louis. "What're we going to do today, Lou?"

"It's not like we have anywhere to be," Louis admitted. "So swim, I guess."

"Cool!" Liam shouted. He loved swimming.

"Um...Louis? Can we do something else?" Zayn said in a frightened tone. Then he whispered to Louis, "I don't like swimming..."

Understanding, Louis nodded. "I guess we can go into town. I mean, we do need to get some food."

Harry groaned. "AW! CAN'T WE SWIM A LITTLE WHILE LONGER?!"

"Nope," Louis responded. "We're done."

"But you just got in!" Niall protested.

"And now I'm getting out," Lou snapped, quickly dressing himself. "C'mon lads. We do need to eat."

"Fine," the boys said, following Lou's lead, and putting their clothes back on. "So what are we eating today? More McDonald's crap?" Harry said angrily. None of the boys could disagree with him, except maybe Niall. They were sick and tired of dumpster food, considering McDonald's was bad enough to begin with.

"Of course not, Haz," Louis stated. The tension between him and Harry was non-existent, and if you asked any of the other boys, they would say that Harry and Louis were the closest of my of the brothers. "We're gonna eat like kings, I tell ya."

"How's that?" Liam questioned. "We're going to eat out of the dumpster next to KFC?"

"No! No dumpster food. Real food. Fresh food," the oldest boy responded.

"How we s'posed to get it? We ain't got no money," Niall reminded him. "Plus, we need to have an adult with us, right?"

"I'm an adult," Louis lied.

"Ohhhh," the boys chorused.

"Wait," Zayn said, snapping his little fingers. "You're only eight."

"And YOU'RE only six."

"Ohhhh."

"But!" Niall interjected. "Like I just said, we still don't got money."

"Please," Louis said, crossing his arms. "We don't need no money. I got a plan."

Curious, the boys wanted to find out what Louis was planning on doing. He spoke no words, he just worked diligently. He only said words such as "quiet boys" and "this way" or "follow me". He led the boys to an abandoned alleyway. There were doors that led to apartment rooms, and Louis ordered the boys to stay put while he went to one.

He climbed the stairs quickly, and ran to the room he had hoped on getting to. When he reached it, he carefully pushed it open. In it was a stash of clothes, his exact size. Louis ran into the closet and looked for a suit and tie. He wondered if he should get some for the boys, since there was enough for all of them, but he didn't want boys as little as them getting into as much trouble as he knew he was going to. Snatching the outfit, he changed into it, putting the suit over his ripped and tattered clothes. He also made sure to wash his face and apply deodorant. He grinned at himself in the mirror. Then he ran back downstairs to find the boys waiting in the exact same spot.

"WHOA," Harry said in shock. "Louis, is that YOU?"

"Yep!" He said, proudly. "It's all part of my plan."

"I'm not so sure about this," Liam murmured.

"You are if you want to eat," Louis spat. "Now come on."

Again, the boys followed him. He led them to a fancy restaurant that looked like it could have been Italian. The young boys were unsure of Lou's idea, but they went along with it.

"Watch and learn," he told them with a grin. Peering through the window, the boys tried to keep themselves from rising any suspicion.

Louis strutted in the restaurant as if he were some big deal.

"Excuse me, sir!" He said to the man behind the counter.

"Why hello there, young man! Are you looking for your mummy or daddy?" the mustachioed man wondered.

"Actually, no!" Louis said sassily. "I'm here to get some food."

"Oh," the man said, playing along. "Where's your reservation?"

"Don't have one, but I'm afraid you have to give me food anyway," Louis said matter-of-factly.

"And why is that?"

"Do you know John Lennon?" the boy asked.

"Of course, he's an astounding singer. Why do you ask?" the man questioned suspiciously.

From outside, Niall looked worried. "He's not fallin' for it!" he said worriedly.

"That man is my father," Louis said. The man erupted with laughter. "He will deny it, but it's true."

"Yeah right," the man laughed. "Now scram, kid."

"IN YOUR DREAMS, FATTY!" Louis yelled, kicking the man in the crotch and grabbing all of the food his arms could carry.

The man yelped in pain and laid on the ground.

Triumphantly, Louis ran out of the restaurant and didn't stop.

"Wait!" Zayn called. "Where are you going?!"

Liam glanced at Zayn, who returned the glance with a scared look.

"No time to explain," Louis yelled with a laugh. "JUST RUN!!!!!!"
