*Louis' POV* 🦔

"I'm just saying we should try to reach more Louis," Zayn says stuffing popcorn into his mouth

It had been a few days since the incident. I was at home in my room watching a movie with Zayn. I had ultimately decided that I should give Harry some time before I tried to talk to him

"I hear you Zayn but I just feel like it would be pointless. Harry's still hurt." I say looking at Zayn

"Yeah, no shit. You haven't even made an attempt." Zayn says prying his eyes away from the tv

"I just don't want to hurt him," I say looking away

"Bullshit, your just afraid Harry won't take you back even after you explain," Zayn says

"Ouch. Why are you so persistent with this anyway? Harry will be so pissed at you if he finds out about you bullying me." I say pausing the movie so we can actually talk

"He can't hate me anymore then he already does," Zayn says looking down

"I'm really sorry this whole thing cost you your best friend," I say placing a hand on his shoulder

"Hey, I did this to myself. Not you. Me." Zayn says suddenly getting up

"Just please talk to Harry. Your causing him more pain letting him think you cheated." He says leaving the room

"Where are you going?!" I yell after him

"Home!" I hear him yell back

"Alright? bye, I guess?" I say poking my head out

I walk back into my room and flop onto my bed. I scroll through my phone for a while before I hear a knock.

"Hey, Louis?" I hear Mark say standing next to the door

"Ya?" I say hesitantly

"Can we talk?" Mark says sitting on my bed

"Yea sure," I say turning to face him

"Listen Louis with this whole Harry thing I've come to realize something." He says looking down

"I've been a terrible Father. And I haven't been here for you." He continues

"And I know it'll probably be very hard for you to ever even think about forgiving me. But I want you to know that I'm going to stop drinking. And I'm really gonna make an effort this time." He says his voice shaking

"It's not really your fault. Mom died, you took that really hard." I say

"Even then. I've buried my emotions for way too long. It's time I've faced this for real." Mark says looking up at me

"I love you, Louis, you're my son and I'm gonna be the father you deserve." He says with tears in his eyes

"Step-son" I whisper under my breath tears prickling my eyes

"Son," He says squeezing my shoulder

Tears roll down my cheeks as I get up and hug him.

"Alright, I'll let you get back to your movie." He says getting up to leave

"Hey Umm," I say looking up at him
