A/N: So I decided to post this little  teaser chapter in honour of our Harry's 19th birthday today. The proper (longer chapter)  will be out later this week, so enjoy this little one and HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZZA ;p

Liam's P.O.V

"Liam. Liam are you still awake?" the whisper comes softly into my ear. I groan and turn over to see Niall's expectant eyes staring at me, his skin strangely translucent-looking in the dim light.

"Yes Niall, same as I was 10 minutes ago." I respond sleepily.

"I'm still really worried about Harry and Louis."

I stop my face from rearranging themselves into a surprised expression but then realize that Niall can't see me anyways, even so, my response is slightly delayed, "What do you mean Louis?"

"I mean did you see the way he was acting before we left? He's really broken up about this."

My thoughts flash back to about 2 hours ago, when Louis told us that we could have the other room and he would stay there with Harry. Zayn of course had almost immediately left, since he had almost fallen asleep in a standing position, and Niall had sent a worried glance at Lou before following the raven haired boy out. I remember feeling the almost unsuppressible feeling of wanting to just hug Lou right on the spot, but something told me that he wasn't exactly in the mood for that sort of thing at the moment.

"You gonna be okay for now Lou?" I asked, my hand on the doorknob.

The response came slowly, so soft that I had to strain my ears to hear that one syllable, "Yeah."

I nodded and opened the door, casting worried glances at my mate, who hadn't bothered to look up at my leaving. At the last moment however, Louis glanced at me and in his eyes there was something I had never seen before, at least not on him.

He was completely and utterly hopeless.

Next chapter out soon ;p
