Liam checked with Paul that the mic connected under his shirt works before he walked back to the house , preparing to taunt and pull Des out of his 'hiding spot' . He wants to get it all recorded on tape , since the security cameras record with no audio .
He spotted Des in the entrace , scolding Mia , Alex and Thomas .
"Next time you little shits are running around running into me I'll make you pay ." He threatened , Liam quickly jumped in and pushed himself between Des and the kids , shielding the kids behind his back . He pushed at Des' chest to create distance between them , "Don't you dare hurt them ."
"Or what ?" Des chuckled , "You have no power against me ."
"I will not let you hurt them ."
Des chuckled humorlessly , "Look at you , standing up for those little shits . They're nothing , just like you are nothing ."
Liam clenched his jaw , deciding to push his luck . "I'd rather you hit me and not them ."
"Got no problem doing that ." Des held his arms to the sides , "Did it before , didn't I ?" He said before whipping his arm , smacking Liam across the face with the back of his hand . Mia screeched in fear , Des turned to scowl at her , "Shut up you piece of shit !"
"Don't hurt her !" Liam pushed him away , only to be punched across the face . Des rubbed his knuckles and sighed , "Next time you'll get worse ." He started walking away before Liam talked again . He wanted it all recorded .
"If you hurt any of us again I swear I'll go to the police , and this time they will hear me out ." He threatened , his heart racing in his chest . This burst of adrenaline was going to get him in serious trouble .
Des laughed humorlessly , "You tried twice , Payne . They didn't listen . Don't forget what happened last time you went to the police and actually brought these assholes over ."
"So you starved us for three days . Wow , great choice , Desmond ." Liam pushed the buttons .
"Use my full name again and I'm ending you , just like I threatened your little friend Louis ."
"What did Louis ever do to you ?"
"He's a faggot , just like my son . I will not allow any boy dating my son . My son deserves a girl , not a boy ."
"So you're homophobic now ?"
"Proud to say I am ." Des raised his eyebrows . "Homosexuality is a sin and I will not allow my son to be a sinning faggot ."
"You disgust me ." Liam shook his head at him .
"Go fuck yourself ." Des ended the conversation and walked into his office , slamming the door shut .
Liam quickly turned to the three kids , who were in tears . He brought them into his chest , sighing . "Did he hurt any of you ?"
"He pulled at my hair ." Alex said and rubbed his scalp , Liam kissed his head , "Let's go to our rooms , yeah ? It's almost bedtime ."

Liam knocked on the back door of Paul's van before opening it , seeing Paul with his head in his hands .
"Hey , um . Did it record everything ?" Liam asked and got into the chair next to Paul , who nodded silently before taking a deep breath , "Yeah , it did . Everything ."
"Good ." Liam nodded , "Uhm , was it -"
"Too much ? Definitely ." Paul rubbed his hands on his face . "Can't fucking believe that ."
Liam sighed and rubbed the back of his neck , "Yeah ... I mean , at least you're here to believe us ."
Paul nodded and turned to face him , "I know . I am happy too . I just - it's hard to take in that it's been going on for so long ." He placed his hand on his shoulder . "I don't care what happens when we go to the police , but I will not let him get away . I promise ."

Louis was in the kitchen making himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch , he just finished placing both pieces of bread together when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist , making him jump with a squeak escaping his lips .
"Sorry ." A deep voice chuckled from behind him , he sighed out , "Harry , don't ever scare me like that ."
"Wanted to cuddle you a bit ." Harry pressed to his back , his chin leaning on his shoulder . Louis blushed , "You could've told me , you know ."
Harry laughed softly and kissed his cheek , pulling back and letting Louis bring the plate over to the table . He sat down , Harry sat next to him , "How was your day ?"
"It was okay ." Louis took a bite of his sandwitch , "Jenna and I did some laundry most of the day ."
Harry nodded and moved Louis' fringe from his forehead , smiling softly when Louis offered him his sandwitch . He took a bite and wiped the corner of his lip , "Want to do something this evening ?"
Louis smiled softly and nodded , "I'd like that ."
"Okay . Be outside at seven thirty ." Harry kissed his cheek once again and got up from the table , "I promised to meet up with Zayn and Ellie so I'll see you tonight ?"
Louis nodded , waving shyly as Harry walked out of the kitchen , leaving Louis grinning to himself .
~~
"Nice amount ." Des nodded as he counted the money the kids got from robbing . They were all looking away from him , very aware of the secutiry camera filming it all . "Next time I want more . Undestood ?"
They all nodded before they were dismissed out of the office , Mary , Liam and Niall went to the kitchen to make dinner , the kids went to play in their room , Jenna went to be by herself while Louis went to get ready for his date with Harry .
At seven thirty he snuck to the front door , smiling when he saw Harry waiting for him . He crushed into his chest in a hug and giggled , Harry wrapped his arms tightly around him , "Hey there ."
"Hi ." Louis looked up at him , Harry pecked his cheek , "Let's go ." He took his hand and started walking . Louis looked back to Harry's car , which was still in it's parking spot as they were walking down the street . "Uhm , where are we going ?"
"There's this really nice park two streets away , thought we could go have a walk ." Harry smiled down at him , Louis nodded , "Okay ."
Harry brought Louis closer into him since it was chilly , Louis smiled with faint blush on his cheeks . It was silent until ..
"Knock knock ."
Louis looked up , a giggle escaping his mouth . "Who's there ?"
"A cow goes ."
"A cow goes who ?"
"No , a cow goes moo ."
Louis hid his face in his bicep to stifle his laugh . "That was lame ."
"I have another one ! Why can't you let Elsa have a balloon ?"
"Why ?"
"Because she'd let it go , let it gooo !" He sang , Louis laughed into his arm once again , "Your jokes are so lame ."
"They make you laugh though ." Harry smiled widely at him .
"I laugh because they're stupid ."
"An long as you laugh it counts as a success ." Harry wrapped his arm around his shoulders and brought him into his side , Louis melted into him before pushing him away playfully , "Go away , I can't be seen with an idiot ."
Harry raised his eyebrow at him , Louis giggled before taking off running , Harry right behind him . Soon enough Harry's arms found their way around his waist , lifting him up in the air , "Aha , you're mine to torture now !"
Louis threw his head back laughing , Harry placed him down only to turn him to face him , his arms still hugged tightly around his waist so he wouldn't escape .
Harry made growling noises as he bit along Louis' shoulder , up to his neck then back to his shoulder , making Louis squeal in laughter , "What are you doing !"
"I'm a hungry beast ." Harry growled into his neck , though couldn't stop himself from laughing along with Louis . He stopped and pulled back , pecking Louis' cheek , "You're absolutely adorable when you laugh ."
"You're the weirdest idiot I've ever met ." Louis let out the last few giggles , burying his face in Harry's chest .

Harry was in his room sitting by his desk when there was a knock on the door , and his father stepped inside . "Hey dad ."
"Hello . Just , came over to check up on you ." Des said , still standing in the entrace .
"I'm doing okay , just a bit of work on the computer ." Harry turned in his chair to face him . Des nodded , "Yeah . Right . How - how are your friends ? Zayn , Ellianne ?"
"They're good ." Harry answered , Des nodded , taking his chances . "Do you fancy Ellianne ?"
Harry let out a laugh , "Of course not . I'm into boys , and she's into girls . We're just good friends ."
Des grimaced , though didn't let it show . Another sinner . "Well then . How is it going with that Louis kid ?"
"It's good . We're friends ." Harry nodded , though his heart skipped a beat at the mention of Louis . "I tutor him with reading and writing a few times a week ."
"Right . Friends ." Des nodded , shifting on his legs a little . "Well then , good luck . I'll leave you to your work now ." He said before walking out , closing the door behind him .
Harry sighed ; he hated hiding , but his father would flip if he found out they were into each other in more than a friendly way . He figured that when he'd move out and live his own life , he'd be able to tell his father about him and Louis . As long as it lasts this long .
