Louis doesn't call Drew when he reaches the street, he decides to walk home, it's about an hour walk but he needs time to think. His whole body feels weird, and his chest is aching from the pain of being rejected. If Harry and Scott aren't his mates then why is he feeling like this, it makes no sense.

The walk is very slow going but by the time Louis gets home he's decided that he's going to suck it all up the best he can. He doesn't want to give his brothers another excuse to think he's not coping. He needs to act like this doesn't bother him and put on a front, he will cry when he's alone. He needs to do this for everyone's sake and maybe, just maybe, he might start to feel better and move on.

"Heya kiddo, I thought I was picking you up" Drew smiles as Louis walks back into the house and to the kitchen where the boys are gathered cooking.

"Yeah, I wanted to walk home, just had to think" Louis says as happily as he can

"You really shouldn't be walking home alone or while you're hurt Lou, you will be in pain now, you have a broken rib" Andy says

"Oh, I'm fine, promise I feel better, the walk seemed to help actually" Louis says

"Is everything okay? What's up with H and S?" Edward asks curiously

"Yeah, well, Harry and Scott actually met their mate last night, so like I told you all, it's not me, but he's nice and his names Jax and they are happy so that's good" Louis says smiling

"Wait what?" They all say at the same time

Louis shrugs

"This can't be right Lou, the connection you all had...." Andy says shaking his head confused

"Well, some things don't work out and aren't meant to be, I guess we will just be friends" Louis says

"And......you're okay with this!" Drew asks

"You're handling this really well" Edward says

"Well, what am I supposed to do? Fall apart? They aren't my mates. So what, I'll find mine soon, when I have my heat and at least we know now so" Louis says shrugging

"Louis, we are really sorry, we wanted them to be your mates Drew says

"I know, but can you really picture me with two mates, I can't even cook or have pups AND I don't want my life in the spotlight, so I'm thankful and relieved really" Louis says

"Well, good for you kiddo, whoever your mate is, they will be very lucky to have you as their omega" Edward says

"Thanks Ed" Louis says

The boys smile at Louis

Drew's phone then rings and it's Harry and Scott, he moves away to answer it

"We're really proud of you Lou, and if you don't want to be around them anymore, we understand that" Andy says

"Well, it might be a bit hard to begin with but really, I'm fine and I don't expect you to not see them Andy, you're all the best of friends and honestly, it's not that big of a deal!" Louis says

Drew then comes back into the kitchen

"That was Harry and Scott, they want to introduce us to Jax, I said we'd get back to them with a date" Drew says looking at Louis unsure

Louis chuckles

"It's fine Drew, honestly, you'll probably really like him" Louis says nonchalantly

"Well, they were meant from come to dinner next Friday night, maybe we should invite Jax then too, is that okay Lou?" Edward asks

"Of course," Louis says

"Okay, I'll text them" Drew says

"I'm just going to have a shower, and finish my homework" Louis says as he goes to leave

"Lou, what about dinner" Andy asks

"Oh, I ate on my walk home" Louis lies

"Are you sure you're okay Lou?" Andy asks

"Yeah completely, I promise" Louis says and the boys nod, smiling at him

Louis then heads up to his room, he locks his bedroom door, and his breathing comes out as heaves. That was so hard, to stand there and lie. Louis heads to his wardrobe, he tries to calm down as the tears stream down his face. He goes to the corner of his wardrobe and curls up in the nest he has been creating over the last few weeks.

Harry and Scott's shirts, jumpers, hoodies, sweats, t shirts. All their clothing that he's been taking from their apartment without them knowing. There must be 40 or so items that he's taken, and he wants more. He lies down and absolutely breaks. He breathes in Scott and Harry's smells as much as he can, he doesn't want the smell to ever fade away.
