George is sick on Friday so the boys have to postpone their sleepover, which is fine, if one of them gets sick they don't leave them out and always wait until they are better before they have the sleepover. Louis has a big soccer game Saturday so he doesn't mind, he just hopes George feels better.
He gets his soccer gear ready before he's walking to the kitchen for dinner, the boys are all home and sitting around the table.
"Hiya kiddo, how was your day?" Edward asks
He and Andy, Harry and Scott have been at work all day.
"Okay" Louis smiles
"Just okay?" Andy asks jokingly
"Yeah, Drew was busy, so I didn't do much" Louis says shrugging
"I'm sorry Lou, I had some paperwork to catch up on" Drew says as Louis sits down between Harry and Scott, them kissing him hello.
"Don't say sorry, it's fine I don't mind at all" Louis says
Louis phone then rings and he sees it's Noah, he looks at the phone and to the boys worriedly, like he will be in trouble for having his phone at the table.
"It's okay, you can get it darling" Harry smiles
Louis smiles back and gets up to answer
"He stills thinks we're going to yell at him for the smallest things" Drew says when Louis is out of earshot
"Yeah, but he's come so far with trusting us and I would like to think even if we did get upset with him, he would feel safe not threatened" Andy says
"I think Troy showing up at school has sent him backwards a little" Harry says
"Has he said something?" Edward asks worriedly
"No but he's had a few nightmares, hasn't woken up and doesn't mention it in the morning, but we've noticed" Scott says
"Maybe we should call Kim?" Drew says
The boys don't get a chance to reply to Drew before Louis is coming back in.
"Um, Noah wants to go get ice cream after dinner, can I maybe go?" Louis asks his eyes sparkling with excitement
The boys are worried about Troy but Charlie and Joey have assured them that theres been no sign of him in the last few days and the boys want Louis to be able to see his friends, especially since Troy kept him isolated for so many years, to scared to even make friends or talk to other people
The boys look to each other and then to Louis
"What time are you meeting and where?" Andy asks
"Just the square, and in about 30 minutes" Louis says
"How long for?" Drew asks
"Just an hour" Louis says
"Okay, we will drop you and pick you up" Harry says with authority
"Noah can drive me home" Louis says
The boys look to each other
"I mean, if that's okay, I didn't mean to say that I didn't want you to pick me up or that I don't appreciate it or anything, I just meant so you didn't have to and he's driving anyway..I'm sorry" Louis say instantly upset
"Calm down sweetheart, just breathe, we never thought you meant that at all. Noah can drive you home that's fine" Scott says reassuringly
Louis calms his breathing and nods still a little unsure
