Lou had to stop the game to take an important phone call

L: STOP guys my dads calling

Ever since jays passing Lou and his dad have been inseparable

L: (on phone) hey dad,  what's up, I-it's about Clifford, what happend? N-no I understand

Lou hide his face and I soon realized he was crying! I quickly shut the boys up before heading toward Lou and wrapping my arms around his little waist before he collapsed into a sniffling heap in my arms

L: I-im sorry this is so embarrassing y'all go back to p-playing

Z: no Lou don't be embarrassed this is us your talking about

(all the boys started to surround us in a group hug)

L: t-thanks guys

(We slowly head to the couch where we all gathered around and waited for Lou to share)

L: w-well that was dad and he had news about Clifford-

(I tightened my grip on his little waist for comfort)

N: the big red dog

I could tell Lou was desperately trying not to cry and laugh at the same time. We all gave Niall a skull piercing death glare until it clicked in his little brain

L: no Niall Clifford, (dramatic inhale) Cliffordisdead! ( he immediately twisted himself so his head is buried inside my chest as he softly sobbed )

It took all of us a minute to process what he said because he said it so fast but once we realized we were all on top of him, holding him and treating him like the princess he is.

L: *sniffle* T-the worst thing is the last time I heard those word was when she passed (he somehow buried his tear-sticking face deeper into my snot covered shirt)

I took off my shirt so that Lou could feel the warmth of my skin against him, it may sound weird but it does help relax him a bit to be able to have a bit of comfort, i layed down with Lou resting on top of me while he tried to pull himself together, Niall was squished on one side almost pushing us off the couch while Liam sat on my legs and Zayn was making Lou's favorite tea

(James walks back in from an important work call)

J: What's all this, snuggling without the sixth member!

(Lou burst back into tears from the sudden jump of noise )

Me: I'm sorry but, SHUT THE HELL UP JAMES

J: who the fuck died!

Me: JAMES I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DONT SHUT UP IM GOING TO SHOVE SOME TPWK UP YOUR ASS

I could feel Lou laugh-crying into my chest and it kinda tickled

J: fuck ok, ok sorry what's wrong what can I do?

Me: grab Lou's favorite blanket, it has 1D on it and it's extra fluffy

J: k

Zayn came back in with some hot tea and a worried smile

Z: what was all the yelling for?

Me: James was being dumb and wouldn't shut up

Z:.....he's a talk show host, that's his job......

Me: yeah well he also should be able to read the bloody room and realize it's not time for jokes

Z: your right

Lou gives up trying to contain himself and just lets himself sob into my chest. He looks like a small sick kitten laying there

(I tighten my arms around him because he started shivering)

Me: JAMES WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BLANKET!

Lou jumped up like 5ft in the air

Me: I'm sorry baby (I kiss his forehead)

(James comes in with the blanket and gently lays it over us)

Me: Lou do you want to talk about it ? It's ok if you don't

L: no, no I want to *deep breath* it's just hard since my family hasn't had another death since....fizzy

(Liam leans in and lays his head on Lou's back so it looks like a pyramid while Niall hugged from the side)

Z your gunna squi- fuck it (he leans over the pile and attempts to get to Lou while the "sixth" member felt left out so he awkwardly tried to hug us before Zayn pushed him out the way)

J: *scoffs* well I never!

Me: not now James we know you typically make people laugh but read the fucking room

J: I know, I know but it's in my nature (he tries leaning over to me to ask who the fuck died)

I guess Lou heard because then he was struggling agian everybody to sit up and talk

L: my Clifford is dead!

(James silently went up and gave Lou a big hug, then we all joined in)

L: thanks guys

Me: we
N: are
L: your
Z: family yayyy

J: aww I wanted to do the yayy

All: shut up James!

A/N:
