Chapter 18: do you need help?
Joe’s POV:
When we got downstairs I saw Harry laying down on the couch on his tummy, he is watching tv.
Louis: “Joseph, you can give that to him, but then your butt is coming downstairs with me, got it?” he said letting me go.
Joe: “okay” I mumbled. I’m not looking forward to going downstairs with Louis again at all. I walked over to Harry.
Joe: “How are you feeling Harry?” I asked squatting down and putting my hand on his forehead. he is definitely very warm. His cheeks are red, but he also has his heavy blanket wrapped around him and its hot today, I think.
Harry: “my tummy hurts, and I’m cold and I’m really sad”
Joe: “aw don’t be sad Harry” I said rubbing his back. “why are you sad?”
Harry: “I’m sad because I want to play, but I don’t feel good, and my butt hurts” I frowned.
Joe: “I’m sorry buddy, I really hope you feel better soon. we found this for you, do you want it?” I asked holding his old monkey up. He looked at it and his eyes went wide, and he gasped.
Harry: “you guys found my monkeyyy!” he said surprised. This thing has been missing for a long long time! I handed it to him, and he smiled really big.
Harry: “thank you so much Joey!” he said hugging it.
Joe: “you are welcome, I love you” He jumped up and jumped onto me, knocking me right on my butt. “whoa” I said as he cuddled close to me. he is definitely extra cuddly today, but so am I.
Harry: “I love you too”
Joe: “are you a little less sad now?” He nodded.
Harry: “yes! I’ve missed him so much, I thought he was lost forever! I can’t wait to tell grandma that I have him back.”
Louis: “grandma might be able to fix him for you when we move”
Harry: “really?” Louis nodded.
Louis: “I bet she would if you asked”
Joe: “I don’t know if she could fix it all the way, but she could probably sew it up so that the stuffing will stop coming out” Louis nodded.
Harry: “am I too big to have him now?” Harry said looking kinda sad. “my friends probably don’t have a monkey, or a blankie anymore” Louis walked over and sat on the couch in front of us and he cupped Harry’s face in his hands
Louis: “you aren’t too big Harry, there’s nothing wrong with having a monkey or a blankie” he said leaning forward and kissing his forehead. “don’t ever worry about that okay?” he said dropping his hands from Harry’s face.
Harry: “people will make fun of me” I shook my head no.
Joe: “they better not! If anybody makes fun of you, tell me and I’ll make sure they never do it again” I said seriously. One way to piss me the heck off is to make fun of my baby brothers. Especially about stuff like this. Harry was so young when our parents died, it was awful for all of us… if Harry wants to have a little harmless blanket, and a stuffed monkey to cuddle with when he is sad, then nobody has the right to make him feel bad about that. I will flip out if I ever see anyone making fun of him about this, and Louis can’t even pretend that he wouldn’t do the same thing. I know that he would freak out too.
Harry: “But none of you guys have a blankie, or a stuffed animal”
Joe: “I wish I had a cool little monkey” I lied. Louis smiled.
Louis: “Me too”
Harry: “really?” we both nodded. “you guys can borrow mine whenever you want too”
Joe: “aw thank you!”
Harry: “do you want to watch a movie with me Joey?” I looked at Louis, and Louis shook his head no, and I frowned.
Joe: “I wish I could… But Louis is mean”
Louis: “I’m not mean, you were really naughty, and you need your butt spanked” I blushed and hid my face in Harrys shoulder. why does he have to say that so embarrassingly? Louis sighed and stood up. “come on Joseph, lets go get this over with downstairs” he said sternly. I hate when he uses that voice… Louis has a really soft kind voice most of the time, so when he gets all big brotherish, and the tone of his voice changes like that… you know you are in trouble. I frowned and tried to move Harry, but he wrapped his arms around my neck and wouldn’t let go
Harry: “No! look how sad Joey looks Louis, he doesn’t need a spanking” we both looked up at Louis and gave him the saddest faces we could make
Joe: “yeah… look how sad I am?” I said pouting and giving him my sad puppy dog eyes. “I don’t need spanked anymore do I?”
Louis: “oh yes you do. Harry, get off of him” Harry shook his head no. and I laughed. It’s pretty cute that Harry is trying to protect me, but I know it’s not going to work… I messed up real bad. “do you need to come with us downstairs to join Joseph? I can spank both of you” Louis said crossing his arms. Harry and I both shook our heads no. I more forcefully got pushed Harry off of me, because I don’t want him to get in trouble. I stood up and kissed him on the top of his head.
Joe: “thank you so much for trying to Harry, but I’ll be okay” I said smiling at him, even though I’m incredibly nervous and I’m sure that him and louis can tell. He pouted and laid back down on the couch. And I sighed and followed Louis downstairs. I don’t wannnt to do this!!! Louis walked back over to the chair, and he picked up the dang paddle and he sat down, and he motioned me over to him. I bit my lip and walked over, and he frowned at me.
Louis: “You know I hate this right? I hate having to do this to you”
Joe: “you don’t have too…”
Louis: “you know that’s not true… I’m so disappointed in you. over my lap”
Joe: “wait louis” he glared at me… louis doesn’t have like any patience right now… so I’m digging myself into a deeper hole by trying to stall this. “I.. I know you have to punish me, I deserve this… and I know how much it hurts to have to punish your younger brother... I know it hurts just about as much mentally as it’s probably going to hurt me physically… and I’m sorry I disappointed you.. I’m sorry you have to do this” I said looking down. I was about to get over his lap, but he stopped me, and he stood up and pulled me into hug.
Louis: “I love you Joey… this isn’t going to be pleasant… for either of us, but once it’s over we will move past this” I nodded.
Joe: “I love you too” he held me for a second and then he sat back down in the chair and he bared my butt, and then I climbed over his lap, getting back into position. I’m so stinking nervous, my ass already hurts like bad. I took a deep shaky breath. he rubbed my back a little bit.
Louis: “ready?”
Joe: “just… hurry please?” I mumbled. he moved me a little bit forward, and then he held me down and begun my punishment for the second time today. ouchhh! tears started filling my eyes right away and I tried to stay quiet, but a whimper left my lips. He hasn’t even started with the paddle yet and I’m already a crying mess. He tipped me forward a little bit more and then he started assaulting my thighs and sit spots with even harder smacks. “ow! OWW! Louis! OUCH!” I whined, reaching back to try to block him.
Louis: “Joseph Adam! Move your hand”
Joe: “but it hurts!”
Louis: “well, obviously” he said grabbing my hand and pinning it uncomfortably to my back. SMACK! SMACK! SMACKK! SMACK!
Joe: “OWW!” SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACKK! I kicked my feet up to try to block him that way instead, but that backfired on me, because he pinned my legs in between his, and he grabbed the paddle and started spanking me with it and I couldn’t help but to scream. This really hurts a lot. “AHH! LOUIS!!! I’M SORRRY! I’M SO SORRY!” I tried to wiggle away from him, but he has me pinned tight, I can’t go anywhere.
Louis: “YOU” WHACK! “DON’T DRINK” WHACK WHACK! “YOU” WHACK! “AREN’T OLD ENOUGH!” WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
Joe: “I’ll NEVER DO IT AGAIN!” WHACK WHACK WHACKK! WHACK! “OWW LOUIS! YOU ARE HURTTTTING ME!!” I said in between loud sobs. He slowed down a little bit.
Louis: “I know it hurts, I wish I didn’t have to do this to you, but you deserve this…” WHACK! WHACK! “when I tell you no, you better listen” WHACK! WHACK! I tried to respond, but I couldn’t. A few extra hard ones landed on my thighs and I broke down completely limp. I have no fight left in me anymore, all I could do is lay over his knee and take it. I tried to tell him that I’m sorry again, but I couldn’t form the words. I haven’t been spanked this hard before and all I want right now is for him to stop, and I want Kevin. If Kevin was here he would stop louis, I know he would. WHACK! WHACK! WHACKK! My butt and thighs are on fire! Right now he is focusing on the undercurve of my bottom, right where my butt meets my thighs and it hurts so bad. I know I won’t be sitting comfortably for a long time. I felt myself being moved, and before I knew it I was sitting upright in his lap, instead of laying over it. I held onto him and cried for a long long time. “Joey… it’s all over” he said trying to calm me down.
Joe: “I’m s-sorry” I cried, trying to cling to him, and get as close to him as possible. I could feel him crying too. “I.. I’m so-sorry”
Louis: “I know, I know you are sorry baby, it’s okay now, it’s over” he whispered.
Joe: “it’s not o-over, it… it hurttts” I cried.
Louis: “I know it hurts” he said kissing the top of my head.
-------------------------------------
Louis POV:
UGH I hate having to punish my little brothers like this. I’ve been holding Joey for awhile now, and thankfully he has stopped sobbing hard like he was, but he is still struggling to get his tears under control and I feel awful. I love him so much, and right now I feel like the worst brother ever. I’ve been crying along with him because I just feel bad seeing him like this. After while he sat up and wiped his tears.
Joe: “why are you c-crying? You a-aren’t the one who j-just got your butt b-beat”
Louis: “I don’t know… because I love you”
Joe: “I love you too” I smiled and pulled him close again. “I really am sorry… I shouldn’t have went to that party… I.. I knew it was t-the wrong thing to do… I-I’m s-sorry for breaking your t-trust in m-me, and I’m sorry f-for l-leaving the boys al-alone when y-you… when you trusted me to w-watch them…. C-can you trust me again? Uncle Josh d-doesn’t need t-to ba-babysit”
Louis: “um… I know you are sorry Joey, and I know you probably won’t do that again, but I think I would feel better about uncle Josh being here for now” Joey pouted and looked down. I sighed and kissed the top of his head. I had Joseph get up and I helped him put his boxers and pants back on, and then I let him climb back into my lap. Joey always wants to be cuddled after a punishment, and it’s not often that he is cuddly so I’m going to cuddle with him for as long as I can… and truth be told, I need his comfort just as much as he needs mine right now because It’s really hard being the older brother sometimes.
Joe: “you spanked me too hard” he whined, trying to rub his butt. I grabbed his hand.
Louis: “no rubbing… and I didn’t spank you too hard”
Joe: “Yes you did” he said pouting
Louis: “nope, I didn’t”
Joe: “my butt is black and blue… it’s g-got to be… it h-hurts really bad” I frowned.
Louis: “it’s not black and blue Joey, I promise” his butt and thighs are painted a painful dark red color, and I’m sure it does hurt a lot… but he won’t bruise. I did spank him harder then I usually do, but I think what he did called for a more severe punishment. I want him to remember this next time he thinks about doing this again.
Joe: “I stole your p-phone earlier” he mumbled.
Louis: “you stole my phone? When? For what?” I said confused. That’s not at all what I thought he was going to say.
Joe: “I c-called Elena… a-and we br-broke up… sort of… I t-told her t-that I couldn’t d-date her until I have your p-permission”
Louis: “you did?” I said surprised. I really thought he was going to fight me more on that. Joey nodded.
---------------------------------
(Later) Uncle Josh POV:
I went and surprised my nephews by picking up something for dinner. Everyone was excited except for Harry, because he doesn’t really feel very good. Joe and Louis tried really hard to get him to eat something, but he wasn’t having it at all, which makes me sad, I hope he feels better soon. Right now Louis is supposed to be leaving for work, he is sitting on the couch putting his socks and shoes on, while being distracted by the boys, they are dancing around, and singing, and they are all laughing, which is making Louis laugh at them. I’m not sure why they decided to have a dance off in the livingroom, but it’s pretty funny anyway.
Josh: “Louis, are you watching the time?” I said chuckling.
Louis: “no, but… I should be paying attention” he said pulling his phone out of his pocket. “Ugh, I’ve got to leave soon” he said putting his phone back. he leaned down to put his other shoe on, but Liam climbed into his lap, keeping him from doing so.
Louis: “well hello there” he said wrapping his arms around him.
Liam: “Hi” he said cuddling close to louis.
Louis: “are you okay?”
Liam: “Can I please come with you to work?” Liam asked, ignoring his question. Louis groaned.
Louis: “No!” He said shaking his head. “I already told you no last time”
Liam: “But I really can stay in the car and like sleep until you get done”
Louis: “absolutely not!”
Liam: “but why?”
Louis: “I would not leave my dog in the car, what makes you think I would leave my kid in there?”
Liam: “well… technically I’m not your kid”
Louis: “technically… you are” louis said patting his leg. “get up, I got to go”
Liam: “But I’ll be fine! We will lock Kevin’s car, and nobody will even know I’m in there” Liam whined. Louis shook his head no and picked him up off his lap and put him on the couch in-between us.
Louis: “No” he said in a no argument tone, and then he finished putting his shoes on and he got up. “I’ve got to go, be good guys… and Harry don’t stay up too late, you need rest” Harry nodded. and Louis gave everybody hugs and then he left and most of the younger kids pouted, and the music party stopped
Josh: “Liam” I said softly. he looked up at me. “why don’t you want to be here? I miss you, I want to hangout with you”
Liam: “I missed you too uncle Josh… I’m just worried about Louis”
Josh: “why? Because the car crash?” he nodded.
Liam: “He fell asleep driving, and he still works third shift, he is always so tired when he gets out of work…. What if he does it again and then he dies like our parents did?”
Josh: “I’m sure that Louis will be extra careful from now on, it scared him too, and I know he wont drive that tired again”
Liam: “I know... it’s just scary, I wish I could be with him in the morning and make sure he is okay.. I’ve had such a hard time sleeping since it happened, because I can’t stop thinking about how we could have lost him...”
Josh: “I’m sorry bud, I know that must be really scary…. how about we wake up early tomorrow and I’ll drive you over there. you all can go inside and get a snack, and we can wait for him to get out, if he is too tired, I can bring him home and we can go get Kevin’s car later”
Liam/Niall: “Really??” they both said surprised. I nodded
Harry: “I want to go!”
Josh: “we can all go in the morning if you guys are good”
----------------------------------
Harry’s POV:
I have been hanging out with my brothers and uncle Joshie for awhile. I’m in a lots of pain, and I don’t feel good, but I have been loving spending time with them. I wish Louis and Kevy were here. I miss Kevin a lot.
Josh: “Harry, go take a shower or a bath or something, and then it’s bedtime for you”
Harry: “but it’s summer time and my bedtime is later then this” I whined
Joe: “Harry, Louis told you to go to bed early tonight”
Harry: “but I don’t wanna”
Josh: “you are sick baby boy, you need your rest”
Harry: “but I’m not tired”
Josh: “yes you are”
Joe: “do you want Louis to make you stay in bed all day like he usually does when you are sick?” I shook my head no. I hateee that! it’s so boring!
Josh: “it’s important to get your rest buddy, so get up, go get cleaned up and ready for bed, and then I’ll come give you some lotion, and put you to bed”
Harry: “but nobody else has to go to bed” I said pouting.
Joe: “I feel exhausted, I’ll probably go to bed soon… is there any chance I could get lotion?” he asked looking at uncle josh innocently.
Josh: “absolutely not, I can give you a few more smacks as a reminder that you aren’t old enough to drink though, if you’d like” Uncle josh said smirking at him. joe shook his head no
Joe: “no sir, I would not like that at all” joe said pouting.
Harry: “Can I sleep in your bed Joey? I don’t want to be by myself” Joe nodded.
Joe: “of course you can” I smiled and hugged everybody, and then I went upstairs and got some jammies. I’m so cold! So I got the warmest jammies I could find and then I got a towel and I went into the bathroom and I turned the shower on. I’m so cold that I don’t even want to take my clothes off to get into the shower. Ugh. I stood there just staring at the shower for a long time, feeling cold and nauseous. I decided to lay down on the floor for a minute next to the bathtub, using my towel and jammies as a pillow. I groaned and brought my knees up and wrapped my arms around them, so that I’m laying in the fetal position. My tummy hurts, and I feel awful. I just want louis to come back home. My eyes started to tear up a little, so I closed them. I know that I need to get up and get ready for bed, because I’m going to get in trouble if I don’t, and I really don’t want to get in trouble, but I really don’t feel good either. the door opened and it kind of hit me, making me jump and open my eyes. Joe looked down at me confused and he closed the door. “what are you doing Harry? you are supposed to be getting ready for bed”
Harry: “I’m too cold to get nakey, and I’m nauseous, and my tummy hurts, and I want louis” he bent down and felt my forehead, and I pushed his hands away.
Joe: “do you want me to go get uncle josh?”
Harry: “noo! I don’t wanna get in trouble”
Joe: “you won’t get in trouble Harry, I’m just worried about you. it seems like you are getting sicker, maybe you need to go to the hospital or something”
Harry: “NOO! I don’t want to!!” I said with wide eyes. “I’ll take a shower now” I said standing up.
Joe: “do you want me to help?”
Harry: “No”
Joe: “do you NEED help?”
Harry: “No…”
Joe: “Harry… are you sure?” he said pushing my hair out of my face. “You don’t need to be embarrassed, I can help you”
Harry: “I want Louis” I said again. he frowned.
Joe: “sorry buddy, he isn’t here.” my tears finally pooled over and ran down my face. and Joey pulled me into a hug. “I’m so sorry you feel so bad, and I’m sorry Louis isn’t here” he whispered, rubbing my back. “let’s get you in the shower and get you in bed” he said pulling out of the hug and adjusting the water for me in the shower so it’s not too hot, or too cold. I picked up my clothes and my towel and I put them on the counter and Joey got everything ready for me. “take your clothes off and get in”
Harry: “but it’s cold”
Joe: “the waters nice and warm though, so it’ll only be for a second” he said grabbing my shirt and pulling it over my head, tossing it into the laundry basket. I shivered and quickly pulled my pants and underwear down, and then I jumped into the warm shower.
Joe: “I’m going to go get a wash cloth for you”
Harry: “thank you” I mumbled though clinched teeth… even though the water is hot, I’m still so cold. I can’t wait to cover up with so many blankets! Brr! I started washing my hair. and Joey came back and he started washing my body with body was and the wash cloth as I was doing that. And it was fine until he started washing my butt with it, I jumped and pushed him away. “Oww! Joey!” I yelled, turning towards him, Joey jumped
Joe: “what?!” he said confused.
Harry: “you hurt me! it hurts!!”
Joe: “I hurt you? how? What’s wrong?” he said looking me over with wide eyes…
Harry: “Joey!” I whined, “my butt” I said pouting and reaching back to try to rub. Gosh! That hurt so bad! it made my eyes water.
Joe: “I totally forgot that you got spanked today, let me see” he said grabbing my arm and turning me. “oh my gosh, your butt is almost as red as mine is… I’m sorry buddy, I wasn’t paying attention, I was just trying to help you get done faster, I didn’t mean to hurt you”
Harry: “it’s okay Joey, thank you for helping”
Joe: “I’m sorry… here, you do it” he said handing me the soapy wash cloth, I finished washing the bottom half of my body, while joey brushed his teeth and got ready for bed himself. “I’m going to go downstairs and make sure all the boys are going to be good for uncle Josh, and then I’ll come up and go to bed with you” he said from the other side of the shower curtain before leaving the room. I got all cleaned up the rest of the way, and then I shut the shower off and got out and I quickly grabbed my towel and I dried off fast, because it’s so freezing! I got dressed into my warm jammies, and socks. And then I brushed my teeths. By time I got done getting ready for bed, Joey was already in bed.
Joe: “you left your blanket, and your monkey downstairs, so I grabbed them for you” He said holding them out to me. I smiled and climbed into his bed and I grabbed them and hugged them.
Harry: “thank you Joey” I said laying down and cuddling close to him.
Joe: “Uncle Josh will be up in a minute, he is going to give you some medicine, and check your temperature”
Harry: “is he still going to give me lotion?”
Joe: “he said he would, you lucky ducky” he said tickling me. I giggled and pushed his hands away. and Joe laughed and hugged me. after a little bit Uncle Josh came up and he did make me take medicine and my temperature was high again, which sucks... I don’t wanna be sick anymore. After that I climbed over his lap, and he did take my pants down and he rubbed cold lotion into my sore bottom. which helped it feel a little better right away.
Josh: “do you want me to wake you two up in the morning to go see Louis at work?” he asked covering us both up. “Because I can take the rest of the boys, and Joey can stay here with you, because you are sick”
Harry: “I want to go see Louis”
Joe: “are you sure Harry?” I nodded.
Josh: “okay, I’ll wake you guys up” he said kissing both of our heads and tucking us in. “I love you both! Goodnight”
Joe: “Goodnight”
Harry: “Goodnight Uncle Joshie”
----------------------------------------
(Next Morning) Louis POV:
I’m so tired! I am ready to go home and go to bed, but I have a little bit longer to go. right now I’m restocking the alcohol fridges, because nobody is here, so I’m trying to get stuff done before we start getting busy again. I’m still here alone, but my co-worker will be coming in pretty soon probably. I sighed. Tonight was so insanely busy so I haven’t had any time to do anything else all night. we needed two people tonight, but so many people were fired recently so needless to say, I’m exhausted. I heard the front door open, so I quickly made it back to the counter, but I was attacked with hugs by my brothers.
Louis: “whoaa” I said startled. It really freaked me out for a second.
Joe: “did we scare you?” he said laughing. I nodded
Louis: “yeah, it freaked me out! I didn’t even see you guys pull in?... how did you get here? Is josh here?” just then I heard the door open again, and I looked over and Josh walked in carrying Harry. Everyone is wearing pajamas, and Harry is carrying his blanket and his little monkey. I can tell they all just woke up. “what are you guys doing here?” I asked confused as my brothers let me out of our group hug.
Nick: “we are getting a snack!”
Louis: “are you serious? Why do you need to come get a snack at…” I glanced at the time “5:30 in the morning?? You all should be in bed sleeping!”
Niall: “but we’re nottt” he said happily. I rolled my eyes and I walked over to uncle Josh.
Louis: “what are you really doing here?” I asked suspiciously. He put Harry down and Harry immediately reached for me. so I picked him up and hugged him and he laid his head on my shoulder and I rubbed his back and rocked him a little. He feels warm still. He needs to get his temperature checked when he gets home.
Josh: “the boys were really sad and nervous when you left last night about you driving home by yourself this morning, so I told them if they were good, we could wake up and come check in on you”
Louis: “you guys… I told you I’m fine. That was just because I was working way too much, and not sleeping, but I’m not working as much anymore, so I’m totally fine”
Josh: “well you look exhausted, so we are staying, I’ll let them pick a snack, and then we will go outside and wait for you” I groaned
Louis: “seriously? Uncle Josh! You don’t have to do that! I’m fine!”
Josh: “I don’t mind waiting, do you guys?” he said looking at the boys.
Joe: “we don’t mind” he said walking over and patting my back and smiling at me. I rolled my eyes. I love my family to death, but their overprotectiveness is slightly annoying sometimes, but I know I’m just as annoying and overprotective, so I just need to suck it up and accept it.
Louis: “okay, fine, but if you are buying all them a snack, I want one too” Josh laughed and nodded.
Joe: “I can do that, pick something out”
Louis: “okay, thanks Uncle Josh” he nodded, and he went over to the snacks with the other boys, and I cuddled close to harry. “are you feeling any better Harry?” I asked softly. he shook his head no. “Aw Babyy boy! You need to get better!” I said rubbing his back.
Harry: “I’m so nauseous, and my belly hurts” I frowned.
Louis: “I’m so sorry, we will take you to the doctors, or after hours or something today, okay?” he shook his head no.
Harry: “I don’t want too”
Louis: “I know, but I don’t want you to be sick anymore” I said kissing his cheek. “It’ll be okay, I promise. Do you want to pick out a snack for later when you are feeling better?” he nodded, and I glanced outside as I saw headlights. “Joe, take him to pick out a snack, I got a customer” Joe nodded and walked over to get him, and I tried to hand Harry over to him, but he wiggled a little bit. Probably too embarrassed to be carried around when other people are around. so I put him down on his feet, and Joe grabbed his hand and they walked over to the rest of the family, and I went back behind the counter and I helped the customer. He was pretty chatty, he talked about the weather and gas prices. And my co-worker came in finally, which means I get to go home pretty soon, which I’m super excited about. After the customer left I went back over to my family and I picked myself out a snack, and then I restocked the rest of the alcohol that I had gotten out while Josh chatted with me about how last night went. I was glad that all the boys were good.
Co-worker: “Yo Louis, someone’s trying to buy gas with a check and I don’t remember how to do it” I laughed and nodded.
Louis: “okay, I’ll show you how to do it.” I said walking over with him. I feel like I always have to show him how to do stuff even though he has been here for a month or more. I don’t know what my boss is going to do when I leave. I went and helped. And Josh and all the boys came over.
Josh: “when do you get out?” he asked as they all put all there stuff down on the counter. My co-worker started ringing up the stuff.
Louis: “I have like 20 more minutes before I’ll be ready to go”
Liam: “do you like working at a gas station?” I nodded
Louis: “yeah, I don’t mind it”
Co-worker: “really? I’m ready to go home already, and I just got here!” I laughed.
Louis: “well I’ve been here for 12 hours, so… I’m ready to go home too”
Co-worker: “12 hours?? dude, I haven’t ever been scheduled for more than 6” he said before telling Josh his total.
Louis: “yeah, I asked him for more hours, because we are moving soon, and I need them”
Co-workers: “so are these your brothers that you are always talking about?” he said as he took the money from Josh and gave him back his change.
Louis: “yes, except the old man, he is my uncle Josh”
Josh: “Hey! I’m not that old”
Niall: “you aren’t that young either” we all laughed.
Co-worker: “who’s who?” when we work together I talk about my brothers all the time, so he knows them sort of. But he has never met them. I pointed to all of them and told him their names.
Co-worker: “where’s Kevin?” I sighed
Louis: “Kev moved already, he needed to set up some things with college and stuff, so he is currently living with our grandparents until we all move out there”
Co-worker: “you are like our best worker, it’s going to suck when you leave”
Louis: “yeah, the boss said he isn’t too happy about me leaving, because he just had to fire so many people”
Co-worker: “at least I know that my job is safe” I laughed. His job is totally not safe, and he knows it. some more people walked in. it’s starting to get busy again.
Josh: “will be outside waiting for you” I nodded and they all went outside. And I finished up everything I needed to get done, and then I clocked out and got my stuff. I missed a couple calls from Kevin, that I didn’t even see, so I need to call him back later. I went outside and walked over to where I’m parked, and John was parked right next to me. a couple of the kids are standing outside next to the car, probably because of there sore butts, I don’t blame them.
Joe: “do you feel awake enough to drive home?”
Louis: “yes, I’m okay, I promise” John leaned out of his window
John: “are you sure Louis? We can come get your car later if you need to”
Louis: “no, it’s okay uncle Josh, I’m a little tired, but I can drive home no problem”
John: “alright, some of the boys want to ride home with you, I’ll follow you”
Louis: “okay” I grabbed my keys and unlocked Kevin’s car, I bet he is missing his car a lot, I miss my car already. Joe, Liam and Harry got into the car with me, and after everyone was buckled up, I safely drove home. I would NEVER fall asleep with them in the car for sure. I would never even get in the driver’s seat with them in the car if I felt like I was too tired. I really need to learn to do the same when I’m by myself.

KEVIN’S POV:
Grandma is knitting a blanket or something, and I’m cuddling on the couch next to her eating an apple and listening to her and grandpa talk about our new house. they are really excited for us to move into town closer to them, and it’s really cute. They have wanted this for a long time for us. the phone rang, and grandpa walked over and answered it.
Grandpa: “Hello?... Hi louis! How did work go last night?” he said walking out of the room with the phone. I pouted. I miss my family. I tried to call louis last night because I was missing him, and he didn’t answer, and none of the boys at the house answered either.
Grandma: “what do you have that little lip out for young man?” she said pulling me out of my thoughts. I sat up a little and looked at her
Kevin: “nothing grandma” I said kissing her cheek. She smiled, and I cuddled back into her.
Grandma: “you miss Louis and the kids, don’t you pumpkin?” I nodded.
Kevin: “even though they drive me crazy sometimes, I really do miss them a lot. I think I miss Harry the most, because he is sick, and nobody is keeping me updated, and I just want to be there” I said looking down.
Grandma: “Harry will get better soon, Josh told me that they are taking him to the doctors or something today”
Kevin: “Harry’s not going to like that”
Grandma: “probably not, but he will be okay” I nodded. and grandpa came back into the room and he held the phone out to me
Grandpa: “Louis wants to talk to you” I smiled and grabbed the phone and I also got up and went into another room.
(Phone conversation)
Kevin: “Hey Louis”
Louis: “hey buddy” he said softly. he sounds so exhausted.
Kevin: “did you just get home from work?”
Louis: “yes. I noticed that you called last night, I’m sorry I didn’t answer”
Kevin: “it’s okay.. I.. I was sad about it, but I knew you were working”
Louis: “are you okay?” he said picking up on my sad voice. Louis can always tell, even when over the phone.
Kevin: “yes, I’m okay”
Louis: “mhm.. truth please?” I sighed.
Kevin: “I just kind of miss you guys” I mumbled… “it feels like I was kicked out of the family or something”
Louis: “that’s silly Kevy, you will never get kicked out of the family.”
Kevin: “I know… it just feels weird to not be there”
Louis: “it’ll just be for a couple weeks”
Kevin: “I know… but I miss you guys now”
Louis: “I miss you too Kevy”
Kevin: “I miss my car too”
Louis: “Yeah… I miss my car too, your car is an absolute mess! Why do you keep your car such a mess?” I laughed. Louis kept his car spotless. He has always taken really good care of his car, And I always just throw my junk in mine.
Kevin: “because it’s my car and it can be messy if I want it to be… maybe don’t crash your car and you wouldn’t have to steal mine from me and deal with my messy car” I said with a little bit of attitude.
Louis: “Hmm.. keep that attitude up, and you won’t get your car back, it’s under my name not yours” that is an empty threat. Louis wouldn’t take my car away… unless I crashed it like he did, then he probably would for awhile.
Kevin: “I’m just saying… if you wouldn’t have crashed your car, you wouldn’t even probably care that my car is messy”
Louis: “well I’m making you clean the car out when we get there”
Kevin: “ugh. you clean it out! You are the one who wants it cleaned”
Louis: “you are right, I do want it clean, and you are cleaning it the DAY we get there”
Kevin: “nah, I think I’m busy that day” Louis laughed.
Louis: “busy going over my knee if It doesn’t get cleaned out”
Kevin: “ugh… you are annoying! It’s my car! why does it matter?” I whined
Louis: “because it’s so unnecessarily messy, and stuff falls on me sometimes, so I feel like it’s a safety issue at this point” I rolled my eyes. he is dramatic.
Kevin: “okay… whatever”
Louis: “still miss me?”.
Kevin: “yes, I do still miss you”
