It's silent for a while until Niall pipes up
"I'm starving Harry lets get some food!" He wines to the car.
"You're always hungry" I laugh.
I see Louis tense up again In the back seat.
"Hey, I like my food okay....there Haz, stop at that burger place!" Niall practically grabs the wheel to turn the car.
"Alright, alright calm down" I laugh as I pull into the drive through.
"Lou, would you like something?" I ask and watch in the mirror to see his reaction. He plays with his sweater uncomfortably.
"Um.......I have no money" he tries and I laugh and so does Niall.
"Lou, you're staying with us, we will pay for everything you need, including food" I tell him.
He continues to look uncomfortable like he is trying to think of another excuse not to eat.
"Um....I don't like burgers" he says and Niall gasps.
"How could you not like burgers Louis!! It's a crime" Niall jokes.
"We can go somewhere else if you like, I don't mind stopping somewhere else for food" I tell him kindly, hoping he just wants something else.
"No...you don't have to that" he says
"I want to Louis....it's fine really I..." I start but I'm cut off.
"I'm not hungry Harry okay...please just drop it" Louis snaps.
Niall and I turn to each other and share a concerned look. I bring my eyes back to Louis in the mirror and he seems agitated and is rubbing his hands up and down his jeans, his breathing irregular.
"Okay Lou, it's fine bud just relax" I tell him.
He seems to calm down at my words and he leans his head on the window and closes his eyes, his breathing returns to normal. I relax a bit and turn to order Niall and my food at the speaker box. Once we receive our burgers I park the car and we decide to eat In the carpark, Louis seems to have gone to sleep against the window.
"Is he asleep?" Niall asks me.
"I think so" I say taking a bite of my burger.
"Well, I have to say he doesn't look good Haz, he is way to thin and he looks sick" Niall tells me.
"I agree, something isn't right Niall" I tell him.
"You think he is on drugs?" Niall asks me.
I look towards Louis and although he looks sick and thin, he doesn't look like a typical drug user.
"No, I don't. I think something else is going on. I just don't know what it is" I say.
Niall hums and finishes his burger, I can't help but keep my eyes on Louis, he is adorable and I just want to hold him and make him all better.
"I feel so guilty Niall, I feel responsible and I want to fix it. I'm an asshole, I should have been there for him and I wasn't. I've been ignoring him for five years, I could have reached out so many times to him, just picked up the phone and called. I didn't though and I regret that so much" I tell Niall.
"It's okay Haz, now is your chance to make up for it. Just be there for him now okay" he says clapping me on the shoulder.
I smile, I just hope Louis lets me be there for him, I hope it's not to late and that I haven't pushed him too far away.
LOUIS POV
I pretend to be asleep against the window of the car and after Harry's confession I feel like I want to cry. I didn't mean to snap at him. I just don't want to be pressured into things. I know mum and Anne have probably pressed there concerns about me not eating but I'm fine and I don't need Harry and the boys on my case about it as well.
