Hi sorry, I don't understand the receipt with all the louis was the one who initiated things because harry was too young?? And x (olly??) wanted them out since the beginning?? I don't understand what does this mean.
Also everyone was telling them to break up? That doesn't surprise me but that's so sad. But as louis himself says: I wonder what they think seeing them now :)

As I’m not the one who originally got the receipt or the one who sent in the receipt I don’t know exactly what they meant. BUT what I understand from it is that they were close to Olly Murs at the start bc Olly was in the xfactor the year before them (2009), so he hung out with tons of other xfactor people. That included 1D. I don’t know if you remember but everyone involved in the xfactor got super close, and they all hung out together and were linked together. Some of the friendships were real, some were to generate buzz about the show and promo new contestants.
Anyways, with that in mind, my understanding is Olly was somewhat close to 1D so he saw Harry and Louis together at the start and knew how they got together. And, as a friend, I’m sure he would’ve wanted them to be out bc he knew what would be in store for them if they were closeted.
And Louis pursuing Harry - my understanding is Louis was older and more experienced, whereas Harry was young and shy. So Louis pursuing him romantically from the get go makes sense. Like Louis maybe took the first step and told H he liked him? Or kissed him first? Something like that.
And about the people telling them to break up: as we have observed, Harry and Louis fell in love fast and hard. They fell in love at first sight (imo). So it was intense. People from the outside might be like “why are you so stuck on this, you’re so young, this is a bad idea, you can’t even be out, this is gonna be hard, you’ll be closeted, bla bla bla”. But Harry, in his wise beyond his years mind, just knew he had found his soulmate so he decided it was all worth it and just stuck with Louis no matter what. But I imagine they were under immense pressure from their label and team to keep things quiet and were probably told a million times that they would never last etc. Literally where Louis’ lyrics come from:
'Cause we made it, underestimated and always underrated
Now, we're saying goodbye, waving to the hard times
Yeah, it's gonna be alright, like the first time
Met you at your doorstep, remember how it tasted
Looking into your eyes, baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about
Things we'd never say to someone else out loud
We were only kids, just tryna work it out
Wonder what they'd think if they could see us now
Louis did meet “the one” at 18.
