I'm not weak - Larry

Chapter 15

Louis POV

Me, Harry, Niall and Liam were quietly walking over to Harry's house to collect the last pieces for our 'trip' as we like to call it for now. Zayn is getting his own place to collect his things and inform his mate, who I still haven't met yet, about the situation.

I only have one rugsack and Niall and Liam both have a kit bag. I also have 2 little plasic bags filled with full batteries and the keys in my pockets. 

We reached Harry's house by now and he rang the doorbell. Not even half a minute later the door was opened revealing Anne. She smiled to us and pulled Harry in a hug, to which he looked clearly shocked before he awkwardly hugged her back.

'Your back a few days and now you're already leaving again!' she sobs in his shoulder and Harry looks a bit helpless towards us. 

I decide to help him out a bit and put a hand on Anne's back 'We know, but this time it's for the good and you know where he is this time.' She pulls back from the hug before nodding and drying her cheeks,

'You're right, Louis. It's just hard to see my baby leave.'

I nod 'Don't think my mum is too font of the idea either, though it was her own..'

Liam looks down at the mention of worried mothers, he hasn't seen his since he was ten. I can't imagine not seeing my mum for eight years.

'Uhm, mum? Can you give the map, that's what it's called right?, and the picture of the car to Louis? than I can go get my things..' Harry says awkwardly, scrathing his neck

Anne nods and Niall says that he will help him pack his back. Me and Liam walk in to the house and Anne closes the door behind us and motions for us to follow her.

We walk in to the living room and I see that there hasn't changed a thing since I last came here. Which is like nine years ago. At least in the living room. 

Everywhere you see pictures of Harry and Anne with her husband. I know Anne always loved photography and has a special camera and a photo lab in her house so she can actually develop them.

Her husband left when Harry was seven years old and nobody know why. They went to bed and when they woke up, everything of him was gone, like he had never lived in the house, like he had never exsisted. The pictures are the only prove that he has.

'Take a seat boys than we can discuse a few things.' Anne says and Liam and I take a seat on the comfy looking couch. She hands me the picture of the car and the map. 'The route I stippeled out on the map is the exact route from this place. The route will lead you to the car, which is full of gasoline, so you don't have to worry about that. In the car you can find another map that leads the way to Manchester.'

'Why is the car so far away? Isn't it one of the things that don't work anymore because there is no electricity?' Liam asks

'The car is so far away cause no one is alowed to have one and yes there were cars that drove on electricity but there were also cars that you drove on gasoline and this car,' Anne points to the picture in my hand 'Drives on gasoline, you don't need electricity to get gasoline.'

I nod in understanding, but there is still one thing that isn't clear to me 'But what exactly is a car?'

Anne looks deep in thought before answering 'It's a way to travel faster, like a bicylcle. You know what that is right?' and I nod. 'I don't know how else to describe it.'

'O and,' Anne stands up and gets something out of a closet standing close to the chair she was sitting in. She gets another key out of the closet and hands it to me 'Is the key to an little house in Manchester. It was from my sister but she moved to a new and bigger house, but didn't want to sell the house. She decided to give me one key it I ever came to Manchester.'

I smile at her 'Thank you, Anne. This is amazing. I hope we can come back soon, so you will see your son again.'

Anne nods 'But not before you're ready, Louis.' I nod and stand up from the couch and Liam follows my lead. 'O and Louis, Please look after Harry, I know he trusts you more than he trusts me and I trust you to keep him safe.'

'Believe me Anne, I will keep hime safe, even if it's the last thing I will ever do.'

Liam speaks up 'Let's see if Niall and Harry are ready.' I nod and we say goodbye to Anne again before walking to the hall, where we see Niall and Harry walking down the stairs.

'Are you ready?' I ask Harry, seeing him come back with a duffel bag over his shoulder. 

'I'm going to say goodbye to my mum, you can wait outside if you want.'

We walk out of the house and we see Zayn standing outside. Zayn has one rugsack over his shoulder and a sad look on his face, which I can understand cause he needs to leave his mate behind for undecided time.

'How did she react?' Liam asks carefully to Zayn, carefull cause he can lose his temper pretty fast sometimes.

Zayn shrugs 'She took it alright, she didn't mind it much, she went to stay at some friends. It will be hard though to be so far away from her, but It will be worth it in the end.' 

We all nod to him and on that moment Harry walks out of the house. 'All done?' He asks and we all say our agreements.

Niall than pulls his arms around Zayn's and Liam's waist and Zayn and Liam pull me and Harry in to the group, The way we are standing now isn't something you see a lot with more than one alpha and omega. A grouphug isn't something that's done.

While hugging each other we give each other courage without saying anything, just by knowing that we are there for each other gives us courage. To know that we're not alone, but together. 

Slowly we all break away from the hug and I look them all in the eyes, maybe looking a little longer at Harry, before saying. 

'Let's start this.'
