My Habit from This Town

25) Hey there Delilah

Song for this chapter is Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's (or listen to Louis' audition)

**Harry's P.O.V**

Louis comes back looking so much worse than when he left. I can tell he's been crying a lot. I feel awful. I should have just told him about Ethan. I shuffle up a bit and pat the bed next to me, inviting Louis to sit down.

"So, have you decided a name yet?" Louis asks the new fathers, completely ignoring me.

"Delilah." Liam replies. "We just thought it was really cute." He explains as he hugs Niall gently.

"Can I hold her?" Louis asks. Niall hands him Delilah and Louis is transported into his own world. "Hey there Delilah. You have the best dads in the world. You know that? Well, you don't know yet but you will when you get a bit bigger." He continues rambling to the newborn as I just watch him intently. He would be an amazing father. I hope one day we could have that together.

Louis and I finally leave the boys alone 12 hours after the baby is born and head back to Princess Park.

"She is really sweet, isn't she?" I try to start a conversation with Louis in the car.

"I'm really tired. I would prefer silence. Or put on the radio. I really don't feel like talking right now. Especially to you. No offence." He harshly responds. I mean, some offence taken but I understand. I betrayed him, and he deserves to be mad. And I'm also tired so I accept and put on the radio.

"and this is Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's. Enjoy" the man on the radio says. What a coincidence. I glance over at Louis and then my phone. We were about 15 minutes from home, which was an awkward distance as it's too short to sleep in, but too long to stay awake.

We eventually get back and update everyone at the house about her. Louis then runs off to the bedroom. I follow him slowly, as I know he is exhausted but he doesn't want to talk. And I understand.

When I finally wake up, it's 10 am on March 10th. It's been almost 48 hours since Ethan kisses me and I hope Louis is ready to talk. I look over at Louis' bed and see that it's empty. And it's been made. Louis never makes his bed.

I get up to see what's going on. I notice Louis' clothes are no longer in the wardrobe. I start to panic at this point. I run downstairs and see everyone doing their normal routine.

"Where's Louis?" I ask Zayn the second I see him.

"He's requested to move rooms to be a mentor to one of the new kids. Are you guys okay? It shocked me a little, I'm not going to lie." He responds. I can't believe this. I don't know what to do, so I just run back to my room and start bawling into my sheets. He was serious.

Just then, Louis came in with a couple of boys.

"This is your room." He says to one of them. No it wasn't! It was Louis' room! Not this random new kid.

"Louis! Please tell me what's going on!" I beg, feeling more tears rolling down my face.

"Ethan told me the truth. More than you could ever do." He replies harshly and turns around and storms out.

What did he mean? I told him the truth. Did I miss something?
