I bite my lip scared to know the answer to the question I'm about to ask. "how long will you keep me b-before getting rid of me again?" My heart aches, fearing the answer knowing that they wouldn't keep me around, no one ever does. Because I'm me and I'm unlovable.


Louis' pov


Arms wrap around me and Niall rubs small circles on my back in a way to calm me down I think... "We will have you around for as long as you want, you will live with us until you are ready to take the world on on your own and even then you will always be welcome."

I can't help but not believe his words but I know that I don't have a choice anyway, it's either staying here or go with them and get my heart broken again when they get rid of me because they found out that I'm a useless burden.

Niall pulls away from me again and gives me a long look before putting a hand on my back that he uses to guide me back down again where I see Harry in Linda's office signing something, I notice that Linda is staring at me with an evil smirk on her face like she knows that these guys won't keep me around either.

It doesn't take long for Harry and Linda to get out of the office and Linda still has the same look on her face while Harry has a small smile on his face "So Louis are you ready to go home?" I nod slowly still not feeling convinced about what's going on. "Well you should go and take him-" Linda turns to me "Don't come back again, we don't want you here." With that Linda walks off again leaving me standing in the hallway by the front door with Harry and Niall.

"Let's go, Liam and Zayn are home already getting your room ready of you." Without saying anything I follow Harry and Niall out of the building that I had to call home for way too long.


The car ride was very quiet until we turned into a drive way and a huge house comes into view "Wow" I whisper out thinking that Niall and Harry won't hear me but they do "Do you like it?" Harry asks as he looks at me through the rearview mirror, I nod not taking my eyes off the house, the house is surrounded by beautiful flowers and some trees and there is even a little pond where I see a little duck swimming.

"I-It's amazing." I hear Niall and Harry chuckle "Well that's great sweetheart because you will live here." I can't help but smile slightly "Let's get out of the car and into the house." I nod and follow them out of the car and walk after them as they walk up to the house, I couldn't help but still look around in amazement as flowers grow up the walls of the house.


I was so caught up in looking around that I didn't notice that Harry and Niall had stopped to unlock the door until I walk right into them, my eyes widen in shock and fear, scared that they will be angry. I quickly take some steps back "S-sorry! I didn't mean to, I-I promise I will do better."

I feel my whole body shake in fear as I slowly look up to look at their faces and what shocks me is that they don't look even slightly angry they have these two small smiles on their faces. Harry is the first to talk "It's ok kiddo, we aren't angry at all." He opens the door and mentions for me to go in, I look up at Niall for a second who gives me an encouraging smile as if tell me that I can go in so I do just that.

The inside is just as amazing as the outside of the house, It's so light and homey, it feels almost perfect like I'm finally home and safe.


"Louis! You are here!" The buff officer that I have gotten to know is called Liam says as he walks up to us, he presses a kiss to Niall and Harry's head making me tilt my head slightly I wonder how it feels to be cared for like that, you can see Liam look at them with love in his eyes which makes me wonder what they are to each other, Brothers? No Niall is Irish while the others aren't... They must be best friends then.

"Come I will show you your room and then we will go to the kitchen for some tea ok?" I nod and follow Liam as he walks up the beautiful wooden twisted stairs. Once upstairs Liam walks to the very last door and opens it showing me a very cozy and pretty room "This will be your room, you can decorate it however you want if you don't like this."

"T-this is mine?" I ask in a shaky voice making Liam coo and nod "Yes it is buddy, do you like it?" I nod "It's perfect, thank you" I surprise myself as I almost wrap my arms around Liam but I recover myself and give him a smile as a way to thank him.

(The room Louis is staying in.)


"I'm glad you like it seeing that I designed it." I voice behind me says making me flinch back and turn around to see Zayn standing in the door way leaning against the doorway "Liam can we talk for a bit? While Louis settles in here." Zayn gives me a pointy look as if telling me that I need to stay here and can't go against him which I wouldn't even do seeing that these men still scare the shit out of me, I'm still scared that they will hurt me which I know will eventually happen. It saddens me that I will not stay here long in the beautiful house with the beautiful garden but that's all it is a house not a home, I'm not deserving of a home.

I hadn't even noticed that Liam left the room until I hear the door close, so I let go and let myself fall out my knees and start sobbing softly, covering my mouth with my hand not wanting the be a burden.



It's quite shitty sorry guys.
