It's been almost three years since One Direction took a break and the five boys went their own separate ways. Louis never felt like he deserved a place in the band and after they went on hiatus it was like he fell into a hole of self-doubt, insecurities and self-hate. When Liam surprisingly invites Louis to his 25th birthday he doesn't plan on attending, but Liam is pretty convincing. That's when he finds out that they plan on bringing the band back together. Louis now has to struggle with the pressure of being back in the band where he never felt like he belonged while hiding his decreasing mental health. Will they notice that he's not doing well? And what happens when he sees Harry, the boy he's always been secretly in love with, for the first time in years? TW: SELF-HARM, EATING DISORDER, TALK OF SUICIDE... written from Louis' POV
