"so louis worked at a supermarket and i met him- louis?"

louis skidded past harry, niall and zayn, stopping at one point to turn around and look at zayn.

"i love you." he said, then ran out the door.

louis didn't even know where he was going, but he knew why he was going.

i don't like harry. i'm not gay. i'm straight. harry is just a friend. a friend who i like- no, i don't like harry.

he eventually found himself in some sort of forest, which was miles away from harry's house, which was still in view, and he could see harry standing out the front, looking for him and calling out his name.

louis felt really guilty, he shouldn't have left, hell, he left his son there, you don't just leave your son at some random strangers house then leave, do you?

he felt himself falling, and he ended up on the ground, curled into a ball and sobbing into his knees, leaves and sticks cruching underneath his weight.

he stayed there, even when he felt little raindrops dropping on his bare, twig-like arms.

"oh my god, niall, it's starting to rain, niall, this isn't good. what if i did something? niall, did i do something? oh my god-"

"harry, calm your tits, he's gonna be okay, alright? it's only water."

"yes but, he left his son here!" harry cried, "i can't look after a child, niall! i'm 21! i barely just got out of school! niall, this isn't okay-"

"harry, calm. down." niall said, putting a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it.

harry pulled on his hair, "argh! i don't know what to do!"

"why don't you go look for him?"

"yeah- okay, i'll go look for him- wait, i need to tell zayn- what am i gonna tell zayn? oh my god-"

"look, i'll stay here with zayn and you go look for your little boyfriend thing, alright?"

"alright, okay." harry said, calming down from his little tantrum.

"zayn," he said, walking into the bedroom and kneeling down to zayn's height, where he was absentmindedly playing with mr. pladdington, "i need to leave for a bit, but niall is gonna stay here with you, okay?"

zayn clutched onto his leg, "no."

"yes."

"no."

"i would like to point out i give amazing hugs." niall said, with a smug look on his face.

"that is true," harry said, "but it only works if you hug back, alright?"

harry picked zayn and up and gave him to niall, who wrapped his arms around his waist and squeezed him slightly.

"see? it's not that hard, is it? now i have to go-"

"wait!" zayn said, wriggling out of niall's grasp, "i need a cuddle."

"louis?!" harry yelled throughout the forest, turning his head every second to find him, his hair sticking to his forehead as the rain picked up speed and started to bucket down on him.

louis heard harry's faint calling, which was eventually getting louder and louder, and decided to take a run for it, he stood up, wiping his face from the tears that were clouding his vision and sprinted out of the forest and somewhere in the town.
