[Harry's P.O.V]

"Louis...we need to talk"

...

"Okay, Liam or Niall?" Louis asked casually sitting down on porch chair.

It was an inside joke between us, since we were always surrounded by cameras and people we mutually decided on having different code words for essentials like 'Liam' meant serious conversations while 'Niall' meant light and small talk.

I would tell what Zayn meant but its not that necessary or essential.

"Liam" I simply answer.

Louis nodded a motioned for me to sit down beside him but as much as I wanted to, I still chose to sit across him.

"So what's the matter Harry?" He asked, all the residual anger seemed to have already left his body with the smoke.

"You don't have to answer but what happened back there with...Danielle?" He didn't answer immediately, just shrugged.

"We...um..broke up" Louis said few moments later.

"Okay...may I ask why?" I asked slowly not to feed the fire.

"She was nagging" it seemed like he answered without even thinking.

"You broke up with a girl just because she was clingy?" I gasped.

"I mean, she always interferes in my matters when I have clearly said her not to like a billion times over" he sighs and runs a hand through his greasy hair.

"She is your girlfriend, she has the right to interfere" I exclaimed.

"No you don't understand! She is no- never mind" Louis stopped mid-sentence.

"Yeah I don't get it! I don't get why you do whatever you do these days!" I slammed my fist on the table which startled Louis.

"What's there to not get Harold? Whatever I do these days are probably the headlines of TMZ within hours" Louis chuckled humourlessly.

"You know Louis, all I ever wanted in life was to impress you, to win praise and love from you because to me you were the definition of an angel, I remember how your goal was to keep everyone safe and happy" Louis stared at me.

"I respected you so much that I tried to get it, I tried to understand why you cheated on me and flush out everything we had built up, why you never tried to win me back, why you never spoke to me again and I did get it" I continued.

"I wasn't enough anymore, love runs out, there are so many things to explore in this world that you can't afford to be held back by old mistakes"

"Harry stop-"

"No! Today you have to listen!" I interrupted him.

"You are telling that your life is summed up in the headlines of online blogs right? They explain this...are you really a womaniser? Are you really an ignorant idol who doesn't give two fucks about his fans? Are you really so busy that you don't have enough time to even ring up the boys whom you once declared as your own brothers? Are you really so self centered that you don't have time for your own son?... Did you really used your mother's death as your new single's promo?" Louis still kept quiet.

"Lottie and I keep in touch you know, she misses you, she wants to visit but she doesn't wanna deal with his drunk incoherent brother, she just wants to have comforting hug and so does all your other siblings but you too far in your own shit to care about them"

"You wanted to be an inspiration, is this how you plan on becoming one? Answer me dammit!"

"Y-you don't know me anymore " Louis finally mumbled.

"I don't! The Louis I knew is dead and the one is front of my is supposedly a person who drinks, smokes weed and fucks for fun without giving a shit about anyone, it fucking disgusts me!" I stand up.

"I think this Louis should die as well then" he whispers and smiles at me, his eyes held a strange emotion that I couldn't grasp.

At that particular moment I couldn't control my anger and made which was probably the biggest mistake of my life.

"Yeah... he should " I regretted the second the words left my mouth but I couldn't take them back.

"Louis...I didn't mean t-to say-" I rushed but it was too late.

Louis was already standing up and starting for the door but stopped once he reached it.

"I just wanted you to be safe and happy Hazza" Louis said without turning back and walked away.

That tone... it was the same tone Louis always used with me... only me.

"Louis wait!" I called after him but he was gone.

I could feel the guilt bubbling up inside my stomach but before I had the time to act upon it and follow Louis, I was being slammed against the iron railing by a fierce looking Benjamin.

"How dare you make my master sad! How can you be such an inconsiderate bastard" he was fuming red.

"I didn't mean to make him sad, it was the anger talking" I tried to defend myself .

"Well your anger won't come and pay the consequences now would it? He looked so crushed, what did you even say to him!" He let go of my collar.

"I clearly said somethings I shouldn't have said, you should go help your master blow some steam off and cheer him up" I don't know what was wrong with me, I just wanted everyone around me to feel hurt as much as I was.

"What are you insinuating by that?" Ben asked with wide eyes.

"I don't know, aren't you one of his night standers ?" I really deserve a slap right now.

"NO! Why would you say that?!" He exclaimed, him anger turning into confusion.

"You call him master for Gods sake and I heard him asking you to bend over the first day I came so I assumed " I shrugged.

"Monsieur no, I call him master with all due respect, he offered me a home and a job when my own father kicked me out for being gay, I really do respect him and for the 'bend over' part... its a joke" Ben face palmed.

"Joke?"

"My name is Benjamin Dover and if you shorten it, it will be 'Ben Dover', its a joke master created as soon as I introduced myself " Ben said fondly.

"Then he is not with you?" My voice wavered with relief.

"No sir, oh I was actually going to return master his phone, it was lying on the kitchen counter " Ben pulled out Louis' phone out of his apron pocket.

"Um... I need to apologise to him right now, I crossed too many lines by acting upon my assumptions and speculations,give me the phone, I will give it to him" he handed me the phone, I need to make this okay.

"Ok, make sure he is okay, I am going to go and make some snacks for you two" Ben said before leaving.
...

Louis' phone blinked in my hand with an new update notification as I made my way towards his room.

I went to turn off the screen when something caught my eye, it was an instagram notification from... harrystyles

I stopped dead in my tracks.

I opened it since Louis' phone had no password (weird).

From harrystyles:Can yo ever hate someone soooooooo much yet love them at the same time?

The account name said 'stupid_louis'.

It was Louis all along, the phone fell out of my trembling hands as I started running.

Please be okay...please be okay.
