Day 99

It was the evening at the Tomlinson's household. There was laughter, and smiles and one of the twins settled in Louis' lap, letting them babble on about their favourite shows as of lately.

The crisp autumn air and the smell of back home, it was welcoming to Louis. The family was outside, sitting around a table just eating their lunch and telling Louis all he's missed out on. School, problems, dates. They really looked to Louis for all the answers.

Louis' phone began to ring again from the table. As expected it was Harry. Louis quickly grabbed his phone from the table, sending Harry to voicemail with an awkward chuckle. Lottie took note of that.

The last week has been the girls asking for Daniel, wondering why he wasn't with Louis. Daniel was always so fun with the girls, one of the reasons he loved him. Past tense though.

"Louis, would you help me inside for a moment?" Charlotte is asking as she's already walking through the sliding glass doors back into the living room. Louis sets the twin back in her high chair, standing up  as he watched her go in.

"Uh, yeah. Be back girls."

Once inside, Louis smiles at Charlotte. She seems a bit hesitant to smile back- oh no.

"Hey, Louis I love you, yeah? We're family and I always want what's best for you," She starts off and Louis can tell this wasn't really what he thought it was.

"What i'm trying to say is, where is Daniel?"

Louis' cheeks blush and he looks away, anywhere but her eyes. They're so damn pure Louis would spill in a heartbeat.

"I told you, he's at work." Louis tries his best to sound convincing but he knows Lottie knows.

"Who did what? Did you break up with him? Still too recent to talk about?" Just then Lottie moves to settle on the couch, patting the space next to her. Her brother sits, letting out a heavy sigh in the process.

"He broke up with me. A while ago. A lot of shit happened and- I know you guys loved him and I didn't want to hurt you guys and tell you." He's honest, and that's why his sister is pulling him for a tight hug.

"Louis- no one would care. If you told us he broke up with you we would be by your side 100% and boycott that bastard. There's no reason to be scared to tell us things. We're your sisters. We want to know you're okay."

The two embrace, tightly. Each one feeling so comforted and loved by the others embrace. A weight was just lifted from Louis' shoulders and he feels a wide smile creeping on his lips.

As they pull apart, Louis' phone rings once again and it's the same name that's been calling him quite often during the week. 'h🖤'. Hmm.

"Are you... seeing anybody new?" She already knows the answer but seeing Louis decline the call again knows he's still scared of something.

"Uh, well, nothing really," Louis mumbles, chewing down on his lower lip to keep from accidentally gushing over his boyfriend that he is in love with.

Lottie pinches Louis' bicep, laughing a bit at his reaction.

"Liar! You are. Is he the one that's been calling you all week? H with a black heart?"

Once again the older brother's cheeks are turning crimson and he looks down at his phone, seeing the two missed calls and a few text that Louis hasn't gotten back to.

"Well.. there is... ugh... Yes. I have a boyfriend. A new and better boyfriend," He admits shyly. His fingers are nervously picking at the sides of his phone case while he waits for any reaction from Charlotte.
