The year after found The styles coming down to Doncaster and Louis tidying his bedroom of toys before Gemma came into play with them, or Harry. Louis often got a little bored at home, He didn’t have any friends at home and he wasn’t going to school until next year. The Styles were due to arrive in an hour and Louis had just put his last teddy on the shelf before he walked, yes walked down the stairs. He was very impressed when he had taught himself to do that and he had spent a whole hour walking up and down them to show his mum.

He stopped at the bottom after hearing loud shouts again, he hated it when his parents shouted.

‘I said don’t touch it, I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself’

‘Well you’re obviously not or you wouldn’t be behi-‘ they stopped as Louis walked into the room looking a little scared and both put on forced smiles

‘Tidied your room then baby?’ His mum asked as she mixed something in a mixing bowl, Louis just nodded wordlessly and frowned at the floor

‘Why do you fight?’ He asked sadly, his parents looked at each other and back down at their son and his dad knelt down and put his hands on Louis shoulders

‘Sometimes adults fight sweetie, it’s normal’ He said brushing Louis fringe from his eyes and standing up ‘Now are you up for a game of football before our visitors arrive?’ Louis perked up immediately and nodded running out of the back door, he did love football.

By the time the Styles arrived Louis and His dad were worn out and happy and greeted the visitors gladly. Louis was a little surprised to see Harry looking very big and even more surprised when he walked over to him and gripped onto his wrist gurgling at Louis, Louis ignored his presence and smiled up at Gemma

‘Hi Gem-gem’ He grinned cheekily, she smiled revealing a couple of missing teeth and the three of them walked into den, Harry still giggling and gurgling behind Louis, They sat on the floor and got out a bored game that Louis had recently got

‘You are a hippo and you have to feed the hippo with thee balls, but I think he’s too small to play’ Louis said pointing at Harry who was sat looking between the two.

‘He can try’ Gemma shrugged and Louis nodded putting the little balls onto the board, Harry picked one up and Louis glared at him

‘Put it back’ He said pointing to the board, Harry sucked in his bottom lip and with wide eyes handed it to Louis before crawling onto his sisters lap burying his head into her shoulder

‘You upset him’ She said with a frown directed at Louis

‘He took a ball’ Louis said putting it back on the board,

‘He doesn’t know that’s wrong he’s only a baby’ She said to him, Louis just sighed and looked at the game. The two started to play as Harry watched still cuddled into his sister his thumb stuck in his mouth.

They got bored pretty quickly and the three found themselves in the back garden running around the little play area, sliding sown the slide and swinging on the swings, Harry followed Louis everywhere much to his annoyance. Louis had just slid down the slide and got to the bottom when Harry followed hitting into Louis back sending him off the slide and onto the grass, he looked around and saw Harry sat at the bottom of the slide looking scared and eyes glazed over

‘That was fun’ Louis squealed jumping off the floor and grabbing Harrys wrist before taking him back around, Harry waddled after him curiously as Gemma watched them from the swing. Louis climbed up to the top of the slide and helped Harry up before sliding down and waiting for Harry at the bottom who upon contact could send Louis rolling across the grass. Harry was giggling madly and rolling on the floor trying to copy Louis
