I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 6

HARRYS POV

I'm absolutely fuming, Louis actually left the apartment building when I told him not too. He might need space but he can have some space without having to leave. We haven't even had the chance to show him around yet, the fact that he is sick as well Is not reassuring me that he will be okay. We all stand in the apartment, silent, looking at the door Louis just left through. Zayn comes back through without Louis and looks angry.

"What are we going to do H?" Niall asks.

"I don't know" I shout.

"You need to show him you're in charge Harry, if he is going to be staying with us, as much as he doesn't have a choice. He still needs rules and you need to follow through on your threat" Liam tells me.

I know he is right, just because I have feelings for Louis doesn't mean I should let him get away with murder. I sigh.

"You're right Liam. I'll call the station, ask them to put a BOL out on Louis" I say as I grab my phone and call in.

"Do you want us to go look for him?" Zayn asks.

"No just....give him a little time, patrol will find him soon enough" I tell them.

I walk into the office area just as my super intendant picks up.

"Winston"

"Ben, it's H" I say.

"Mate, was beginning to worry about you, even when you take time off It usually only takes two days for you to show your face again" he laughs.

"Very funny, I've actually been busy with some family issues, which is actually why I'm calling" I say.

"I'm listening" he says, voice going serious.

Ben has been my superior at the station for three years. He is an amazing boss and I'm very lucky to be working under him. We have the upmost respect for each other, he is married with two little girls and I adore his family.

"My 17 year old step brother Louis is staying with me and the boys for the summer. My mum is having some issues with him at home. Thing is, he has left the apartment when I told him not too. He doesn't know his way around and I need to show him I'm not to be messed with, that what I say goes." I say.

There is a laugh from Ben on the other end of the line.

"Oh H, you always have loved your control haven't you" Ben chuckles.

"You know it Ben, can you help me? He is also sick and I am concerned about something happening to him" I say more quietly.

"Oh so the truth comes out, he's turning you soft Harry" he laughs.

I can't help the laugh that escapes me.

"Maybe" I say.

"Alright send me a pic I'll but a BOL out with the team. Any idea where he could have gone?" he asks.

"Thanks Ben, he took his skateboard so maybe a skatepark" I say.

"Okay. I'll notify you when they have picked him up, should be with the hour" Ben says.

We say our goodbyes and I hang up. I send Ben through a quick photo of Louis and go back to find the boys.

"What did Ben say?" Zayn asks.

"He said no worries, should have him picked up within the hour" I smile.

The boys are starting the poker game and I grab a beer from the fridge,

"So, I'm not trying to tell you guys what to do or anything, but you may want to discuss the rules before you talk to Louis. So you know you are all on the same page" Andy says.

"Yeah good idea" Niall says.

"Well, first rule should be no leaving the apartment without telling someone and if we say no he can't go then he listens, or there are consequences" Liam says.

"Yeah I agree, but I don't think taking away his PlayStation or phone is a good enough consequence do you?" I ask.

"No but dinner and kitchen duty is" Niall smirks.

We chuckle.

"Alright what else?" Zayn says.

"Well, he confessed to Andy and I today, he told old us about being bullied at school. I don't really want to push him too far with rules and stuff. I want him to feel safe and loved, I want him to realise we want him here and we like having him around" I tell them.

"Wow, that a big step" Liam says.

"Yeah and I think that's half the reason he left, needed to get his head around what he told Harry and I" Andy says.

"Well maybe we should just hit him with that rule to begin with. As well as the obvious no drinking, smoking, drugs, partying stuff" Liam says.

"Agreed" Zayn and Niall say at the same time.

We nod and get started on our game, I take a sip of my beer and look at the clock. I'm sure the lads will be close to finding him . I know Louis will be angry and upset when he comes back, I need to prepare for him to be upset at me.
