Louis was finishing dinner with his parents and four sisters at Royal Lodge, in Berkshire, when he decided to tell them about his plans.

"Why going away to America if you already are in a very fine University?" His father was on a good mood. That calmed Louis nerves, but he still had to convince them.

"Is not that I don't like it at St Andrews. I just feel like I need a change, for a short period of time. Seeing new places, meeting other people,"

"But you've been to America," Interrupted his father

"Yes, I have. But I've never experienced it from a student point of view. Think about all the things I can learn. Not only in the classrooms, but in the everyday life" Louis was very composed. He was very confident, but asking permission for anything was always a bit scary.

"I see your point, Lou," Louis smiled at his mother's remark "But, aren't you far away enough? I miss you. You live in Scotland, for the love of God!"

"Mom," Louis reached for her hand "It's been ages since I don't live with you. Aren't you used to not seeing every day?"

"Aww, Honey, even when you're all grown up, married and with many more titles, I will always miss you,"

"I am a grown up, Mom"

"But you will always be my baby,"

"And how much do you love your baby?" he asked with a big grin on his face.

"Very much. But I'm afraid I still have to talk to your father about this matter. This is a big deal, Louis, you know you have many more responsibilities than any boy your age,"

Louis sighed "I know,"

"Well. We'll discuss this and you'll have a response before you leave" His father said. "You are dismissed,"

"Dad, can I leave too?" "Me too? I'm done," The twins said.

"Of course, girls,"

Walking in the hallways of The Lodge he started remembering many moments he and Liam spent there. They usually stayed part of the summer over there, and those were the best days of Louis childhood. Even in summer they had private tutors in London who gave them summer courses for two or three hours a day. But not when they were in Berkshire.

They had three weeks of freedom at Berkshire. The only thing they kept up with was practicing music because that was something they both loved and couldn't stop doing. Louis would play the piano and they'd both sing together, they were so good, even the people that were near the music room stopped what they were doing to hear them. Apart from that, it was three weeks of mischiefs, no homework, sleeping in and sneaking into the kitchen.

Then things got boring. They turned thirteen and they were no longer considered kids. They had to take things more seriously now, had to attend a lot of more social events than they used to, know the names of important people. Even the press started showing more interest in the teenage princes. But the friendship remained as strong, helping each other through hard times.

Liam texted him that night.

From Liam: "Have you talked to them yet? How did it go?"

To Liam: "Yeah, but not sure. They're telling me tomorrow. I think I convinced my mum, but, fingers crossed"

Louis went to bed that night thinking of what his life would be like if he got to go.

Next morning, at breakfast, Louis got the answer he wanted so much.
