I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 2

HARRYS POV

Niall and I arrive at London station 15 minutes before Louis train is due, both of us are dressed in black skinny jeans with black long sleeve sweaters underneath our warm police jackets. Even though we aren't working these jackets are super warm. We make our way to the platform and as the train pulls into London station Niall and I stand off to the side waiting for Louis. Im nervous to see him again, I hope I recognise him and he recognises us, I still have his 12 year old face in my head. My thoughts of not knowing what he looks like now are squashed when I spot him a mile away, how could I not, my jaw goes slack and my breath gets caught in my throat when I see him. He is gorgeous absolutely stunning, his hair is now black and it contrasts well with his tanned skin, the eyebrow ring gives him an edge but he still looks innocent. He is tiny though, he is wearing black skinny jeans and a grey sweater that is practically falling off him. His collarbones are sticking out and his cheekbones are prominent on his delicate face. His blue eyes look around the station trying to spot me, suddenly our eyes meet and I can't help the small gasp, he is gorgeous. He just stares at me, like he is unsure. He seems really insecure. I smile widely at him and gesture him over. He puts his head down and walks slowly over to us.

"Louis!!! How are you kid?" Niall practically yells as he brings him in for a hug.

"Hey Niall" Louis says softly and returns the hug. They pull away and Louis looks towards me.

"Hey there kiddo" I say smiling at him.

"Hey Haz" he says quietly.

Haz, he used to call me that all the time, he looks away and at the ground again. He seems so sad and I hate it.

"Can I have a hug too, I've missed you" I say seriously.

He looks at me again and hesitates but leans in for a hug, he is stiff and it's a bit awkward but when I have him in my arms, it feels like my world shifts, like I'm home again. I hadn't realised how much I actually missed Louis. My arms wrap around him so easily and I notice how tiny his frame is, it worries me. We pull back and I go to grab his backpack for him.

"You, um....I can carry my own bag it's fine" Louis says quietly.

"I've got it Kiddo" I smile at him.

He looks at me unsure, but allows me to pick up his bag and carry it. We then all make our way to my car. When we reach the carpark and find the car, I put his bag in the boot of the rover and open the back door for Louis to climb into. He climbs in with a bit of difficulty, he looks so small as he does. I feel like reaching out and lifting his tiny body into the backseat, I know that wouldn't go down to well though. Niall sits in the front next to me and we pull out of the carpark.

"So Lou, what's been going on? We have lots to catch up on" Niall says smiling widely.

I look in the rearview mirror at Louis who is playing with his sweater sleeves.

"Um....yeah not much, just school and stuff" he sighs and looks out the window.

"Are you liking school?" I ask and Louis immediately tenses up.

"Ahhhhh, yeah um I love school it's awesome" he says uneasily.

I know he is lying but I don't push him. He relaxes when he realises I won't ask him more questions
"Are you still as awesome at FIFA?, cause just to warn you I'm pretty good now" Niall chuckles.

"I know you used to let me win Ni" Louis says cheekily.

"Me, never!!" Niall says and I chuckle.

I find myself watching Louis as often as I can through the rearview mirror. His tiny hands engulfed by his sleeves, his hair falling across his eyes. He is so endearing.
