# Last chapter might do a sequel if you guys want xx

Over the next few weeks Louis steps up his exercise routine and he doesn't eat much at all, Harry and Scott keep their eye on him as much as they can but are concerned Louis is going to hard, he meets with the trainer Drew suggested at the penthouse and Louis is loving his training with him, Max is a great trainer and has told Harry and Scott how amazing Louis is at boxing.

As the trial moves closer, Harry and Scott are at work more and more. Louis isn't scheduled to come back to work until after the trial and Harry and Scott are grateful, they aren't oblivious to the nightmares Louis keeps having, he thinks they don't know but they are happening nearly every night. Whenever they try to bring anything up with Louis though, he closes right off and goes back to exercising like crazy.

Louis has leaned out even more, he's gained all his tone back and his sexy v line the boys love, however Louis is slot skinnier and no matter how much he tries to convince Scott, Harry and now Max that he's eating accordingly, they don't buy it.

"Hey Max, is everything okay, you're on speaker with Scott too" Harry asks as he answers the phone, Louis shouldn't have finished his training session with Max yet.

"Hi guys, listen, I just left your place, Louis is a little upset with me" Max says sighing.

"What's happened?" Harry asks as he and Scott start driving home after a long day at work.

"He was exhausted, no matter what he says he hasn't slept and he nearly fainted during our workout. I had him finally admit he has been suffering a migraine and hadn't eaten today. I've told him.....I can't train him until he's respecting his body enough to eat properly.....I'm really sorry Boys but he's losing to much weight and somethings going on, I know the trial is coming up" Max says.

Harry sighs and he and Scott look at each other.

"We understand Max and really appreciate you letting us know, thanks for looking out for him" Harry says.

"As much as he says the trial isn't bothering him, it's clear it is. We will have a talk with him" Scott says.

"I love training Louis and I want to keep going, he has amazing potential, maybe when the trial is over and he's in a better headspace" Max says.

"Yeah, he's going to be gutted but it's the right decision. Thanks Max" Harry says.

"No problem, I'll keep in touch" Max says.

The boys agree and they say their goodbyes

"Prepare for world war three" Harry chuckles as they pull up into the carpark at home.

Scott smiles as they reach the lift and head up to their apartment.

Inside Louis is upset, he's angry at himself and he's had a headache for three days that won't go away. He's not sleeping and every time he even tries to shut his eyes the flashbacks start and he can't handle it.

He doesn't want to bother Harry and Scott anymore and he's so frustrated, he puts his gloves on, he doesn't care what Max says, he knows how to hit a bag, he can train himself. Louis takes all his anger out on the bag, he lets himself feel for the first time in months, he lets all his frustrations go into the hits, his head is pounding but he keeps going until he's absolutely exhausted himself out.... he then grabs his gloves and throws them one by one across the room in tears, and that's how Harry and Scott find him. Scott rushes over to Louis and grabs him, he pulls him into his arms. Louis struggles but Scott is much bigger and restrains him. Harry comes over and places his hand on the back of Louis head in comfort, he kisses Louis head comfortingly as Louis sobs.

"It's okay Rookie, we've got you, it's all okay" Harry says as he comforts Louis.

"It's not, it's not okay" Louis yells as he tries to get out of Scott's grip

"Baby, just relax, shhhhh" Scott says.

He and Harry hold Louis tightly and he eventually calms down to hiccups.

Scott and Harry take Louis into the shower and wash him and themselves, they help Louis dress and take him to the lounge. Scott gets a blanket and they sit on the couch, comfy together, Louis in the middle of them both.

"Okay Rookie, we need to talk, you need to tell us what's going on" Harry says  he is firm but loving, like only Harry knows how to be.

Louis sighs.

"Sweetheart we want to help you through this but we can't if you don't let us in" Scott says.

"Maybe I don't want to let you in" Louis says

"Why?" Scott asks calmly.

Louis sighs he's been trying so hard, been so desperate to keep his emotions in

"Louis" Harry says sternly.

"Look, I just don't want to put everything on you, you're working enough you don't need to come home to me and my shit" Louis says slightly angry.

"Louis, fuck yes we do, your shit as you call it, is real and what your feeling is real, we need to help you through this, our relationship is real which means it comes with your shit, Harry's shit and my shit" Scott says loudly.

"Yeah and what shit have you got, huh, it's always my shit you have to help me through" Louis says angrily.

"Rookie, Scott and I have had our far share that we've dealt with and there will be stuff that we all go through, right now you're our focus and that's okay" Harry says.

"I hate everything, I'm so sick of stuff that just keeps happening. I hate that my mum left me, I hate that I have my dream job and I don't even know if I want to go back to it. I hate that my body is fucked and can't handle everything that I went through, I hate I fucked up with Max, I hate that the nightmares and flashbacks won't stop and I fucking hate myself for it all" Louis yells.

"Ohhh Rookie, come here" Harry says as he pulls Louis to his chest.

"Let's take a step back Lou, Okay, lets just see everything for what it is" Scott says.

Louis takes a deep breath and looks at Scott.

"Your mum getting sick is always going to hurt, we can't take the pain away baby but we can help you deal with it, when it gets to much we are here for you, but you need to remember she didn't do any of this on purpose, she didn't leave you alone intentionally, she's looking down on you kid and she's so proud of you, we know it" Scott says

"You have the freedom to do whatever you want with work, if you want to do something else you can, if you want to try a different sector of the job, James will see to it that you can, Lou you have so many options and you are amazing at what you do, don't let your dad take that away from you"  Harry says.

"You know the reason Max won't train you is because you're pushing yourself to hard, you know what's going to happen if you keep going, you need to take it slow and you know that, Max wants to keep training you, when you're ready again Lou and it's okay to take your time to get back to being ready" Scott says.

"Give yourself a break, seriously, stop expecting yourself to get over everything so quickly. It's okay to take time" Harry says.

"We need you to want to see someone about the nightmares Lou, we have an amazing psych at the bureau, her name is Kimberly and Harry and I have seen her plenty of times" Scott says.

"Really?" Louis asks, he thought Harry and Scott wouldn't need to do that, would be strong enough to handle the job.

"Of course, it can be a really hard job to handle at times Lou, that's what she is there for, no one thinks less of you, in-fact it's a good move career wise" Harry says,

"Yeah okay, I'll think about it" Louis says.

"That's all we ask Rookie" Harry says.

"Now, should we talk about this not eating and exercising routine you've got going on" Scott says.

Louis sighs.

"I just feel like I'm in control when I do it, it helps me keep in control" Louis admits

We completely understand that Lou, but it's really, really un healthy and is dangerous, we really think you will benefit from talking to Kimberly, Harry and I can set up an appointment for you, just go and see if you like her, no pressure" Scott says.

Louis sighs and nods in response.

"Good boy" Harry says as he kisses Louis on the head.

"We love you Rookie" Harry says gently

"So much, Lou" Scott says.

"I love you both so much too, thanks for loving me" Louis says

"Thanks for loving us" Scott says.

Louis smiles shyly.

"See there's that smile we love, we've missed it" Harry says.

"We are always here for you Louis, through everything you're ours and we want you to know that" Scott says.

"I do, I do know that and I love you for it so much" Louis says.

"Not as much as we love you, your ours...our Rookie" Harry says smiling, he kisses Scott and Louis on the lips and they all settle down on the couch in each other's arms, grateful that they are together and happy....for now.

The End
