The following Monday
"Ready for Christmas next week?" Luke asks, walking up to Louis.
Louis shrugs. "Have you talked to Ashton?"
"No why?"
"He's worried."
"Oh."
"What happened between you two? Everyone says you were inseparable."
He shrugged. "Not important."
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"Hey. Has Louis been acting weird to you lately?"
Niall looked at Ashton, confused. "No?"
"Oh."
"Why Ash?"
"Ever since Saturday, he has acted weird and watched what he says around me."
"Oh. Do you know why?"
"I think it started when we were doing OPH. He told Calum at least he has people who want him around. I asked what he meant and he shrugged it off, not answering the question."
"I'll ask him about it mate."
"Thanks."
At lunch time
"I heard your birthday was last month. Happy late birthday man," Calum told Michael.
"Thanks," Michael mumbled. He turned to Louis and Zayn. "Can we talk privately for a few minutes?"
They agreed. The others were confused but made conversation as the three friends walked to talk somewhere else.
"We aren't adopted," Michael points out. The other two nod.
"I'm 18 next week," Louis adds.
"I'm not though."
Michael and Louis look at Zayn.
"We'll get a three bedroom apartment. Louis and I can take you in for the year as your legal guardians," Michael explains, "They might not let us take you in but know we will fight to."
Zayn nods. "I'll help you guys pay. I have money saved up from past jobs. That is if I still have it hidden and no one found it."
"We all have money from past jobs. Now we just have I get jobs to keep the payments," Louis told him. Michael and Zayn agreed.
They headed back to the table.
Liam:
I heard their plan. Michael, Zayn, and Louis all want to live out on their own with no family. Why? I sat down and ate with everyone else.
"You ok mate," Harry asked me.
I shrugged. "What happens if someone chooses to not see their family?"
Everyone stopped. "What brought that to mind Li?" Luke asked me.
I looked over to the trio. "I heard something I shouldn't have."
Niall and Harry looked where my gaze led. "Wait. Why are you looking at them?" Niall asks.
I shrug. "Just looking over at someone when I talk."
I noticed Harry grow suspicious. "Zayn?"
Zayn shrugged. "I don't know where the idea came from."
"Mikey?" Addison asked.
"I have no clue what he is talking about."
"Can we talk?"
They walked off and talked for a bit. When Mike came back, Addison let the cafeteria.
