The only place to stop for food is a McDonald's much to Harry and Scott's distaste. Their hunger gets the better of them though and they manage to eat quite a lot.

Louis stuck with his go to nugget meal and Harry and Scott think he's so bloody cute.

"So Louis, you grew up in Holmes Chapel?" Scott asks as they finish off their meals in the car.

"Yeah, I left two years ago to work in London but I come back every Christmas" Louis tells them.

"What do you do for work?" Harry wonders.

"I'm an architect" Louis says smiling, he loves his profession so much, not so much the company he works for though.

Scott and Harry look at each other in disbelief, this is really starting to feel like a fate meeting.

"You're kidding? Which company do you work for?" Scott asks.

"Smith and Leon" Louis says.

Harry and Scott hide their disgust, they loathe Smith and Leon, they have a bad reputation in the industry and they can't stand the owner Dan.

"Do you like it there" Harry asks.

Louis shrugs in response, he doesn't want to bad mouth his company, but he hates it.

"Have you worked on any big projects" Harry asks.

Louis scoffs

"No one at the company even lets me draw, I'm still in the coffee runner stage" Louis says frustrated.

Harry and Scott raise an eyebrow, that doesn't seem fair.

"How long have you worked there for" Scott asks.

"Two years" Louis says.

"Well that doesn't seem right, they should be teaching you and letting you create" Harry says.

"Have you thought about applying for other companies" Scott asks.

"Well I applied to HS & Wolf architecture, when I first moved, they are my dream company to work for, but they said I was too young and wouldn't even look at my drawings" Louis says sadly.

Harry and Scott look to each other, That's their company, Louis application wouldn't have even made it to them, they don't really have anything to do with looking through resumes, they only see what gets put on their desk.

"Well they sound like arseholes" Scott says.

"Yeah, like real losers if they didn't even look at your work" Harry agrees as he and Scott share a fond look and make a mental note to find Louis application.

Louis giggles at that.

"So how old are you?" Scott then wonders, they generally don't take under 25's at the company.

"20, I'll be 21 soon, how old are you?" Louis asks.

"29" They both say.

Louis nods

"And you own a business?" Louis asks

"Several, yes, in all different areas" Harry says.

"That sounds fun, hard work, but fun" Louis says.

"We love it" Harry says smiling and Louis returns it.

"Do you know much about architecture?" Louis asks.

Harry and Scott own several very successful companies under HS & Wolf.

HS & Wolf Architecture, is one of their biggest and best performing businesses, where their passion lies.

"We know a bit yeah, we are interested in that side of things for sure" Scott says.

"Do you love it?" Harry asks.

"Yeah, my dad...." Louis trials off "Um he used to be an architect and always said I'd be good at it, I don't think I'm very good but I do love it" Louis says.

The boys don't miss the little detail about Louis dad, but they won't pry.

"I bet your drawings are amazing, you should show us sometime" Scott says.

"Maybe" Louis smiles, causing Scott and Harry to smile back.

The rest of the drive is spent chatting and getting to know each other a little bit, Louis sleeps for an hour and by the time they are entering Holmes Chapel it's just gone 8:10pm.

"So Lou, where a-bouts do you need to go?" Harry asks.

"Chestnut Ave, the end of the road" Louis says.

"No way, my parents are in Wood-crest and Scott's live on Orange-grove" Harry says

Chestnut, Wood-crest and Orange-grove, are all on the upper side of the hills, most of the houses are massive and have rolling hills between them. They are just outside of town a little more secluded than the rest of the town.

"That's actually crazy, you can drop me first and keep the car if you like, I won't need the car until I head back to the airport" Louis says.

"Are you sure Lou? That would actually be great, if you're sure you don't mind" Scott says.

"No not at all, my brothers have a car each, plus their partners cars, I really don't need it" Louis smiles.

"Thanks Lou, when are you heading back to the airport?" Harry asks.

"I head back on the 1st of January, what about you?" Louis asks.

"We head back the 28th of December" Scott says.

"Works out well then" Louis says.

The boys smile and as they drive through the town, the Christmas lights shine bright. They pass the bakery and the old bookstore, and the nostalgia hits, just like every-time they come home. It's nice to be back, if only for a little while.

When the boys pull up to Louis house the door is wide open and the Christmas lights shine outside the house. The house is beautiful and they can see the Christmas tree just inside the doorway in the lounge room.

"Thanks for the lift" Louis chuckles.

Scott and Harry chuckle back.

"Maybe we could meet up again, before we leave?" Harry then suggests.

Louis smiles.

"Sure, if you have time" Louis says as he opens the car door.

"Louis is here!" Louis hears Drew call from the inside of the house.

He's just getting out when he's bombarded by three older boys.

Drew gets to him first and picks him up over his shoulder laughing before he's placing him down and hugging him hard.

"Gosh we've missed you" Drew says

"My turn" Edward says as he grabs Louis and holds him close.

When they pull back Andy grabs him and brings him in.

"You're still far to skinny for my liking" he says fondly as he hugs Louis.

"We've missed you" he says as he pulls back.

"I've missed you to" Louis tells them.

Harry and Scott watch on in joy from the car, before they are getting out.

"How could we forget your little brother was named Louis" Scott says in disbelief as he and Andy lock eyes.

"What the, no fucking way!" Andy says as he pushes Scott lovingly and then grabs him in for a hug.

"What the hell are you two doing here" Drew asks as he and Harry hug.

"You wouldn't even believe it if we told you" Harry says.

They all hug hello and Louis looks on confused. The boys can't believe Harry and Scott are standing in front of them.

"Can you come in for a drink?" Edward asks

Harry and Scott look to each other and smile

"Absolutely, let me just call my mum and tell her we will be a little late" Harry says.

The boys holler and they grab Louis bags from the boot and they all walk inside, eager to catch up.
