I catch Louis staring at my busted hands, one of which I am sure is broken, so I quickly move them out of his sight.
"Come here," He opens his arms for me and I fall into them. I don't have the strength to hug him back, I just rest my chin on his shoulder. No tears come, I'm still in shock. It's been five years since I've seen my father.
He's done some really fucked up shit to me, and my mother for that matter. There's things I haven't even told Lou about him... I've tried to erase it from my memory, in an effort to try and cope.
"Chris is making me come out here and bring you two back in," I hear a voice from behind me that I don't recognize. I jump out of Louis' arms and push my hair out of my face.
"You going to be alright?" Louis asks me, stroking my cheek with his thumb.
"Don't have much of a choice," I respond, only glancing at him for a moment before heading back in the building.
"Harry, nice of you to join us again," Chris taunts me, with a evil fucking grin on his lips.
I keep my eyes low, leaning against the wall close to the door to be as far away from my father as possible. Louis stands a few inches next to me, not wanting to leave my side.
"Sit, you two," Chris demands. I avoid eye contact with everyone and sit in the chair closest to the door.
"Harry," My father starts, but I don't acknowledge him.
"Harry, look at me son," A wave of nausea hits me at the way he says "son." I glare at him from the corner of my eye, trying to steady my breaths.

"I'm a very different person from who I was. I am really looking forward to getting to know you again, as well as your band. I'm sorry for the past Harry, but I can't change it. If I could go back and erase the things I've done to you and Anne I would, but I can't. I'm hoping we can start fresh and work well together. Peace?" He sticks his hand out for me to shake.
I glance over at Louis before looking back down at the table, contemplating how I should even respond.
