Belive it or not but in 1998 louis Tomlinson was a normal 7 year old boy. He liked cars, trucks and playing with his friends. His best friend was a little 5 year old boy named Niall Horan. He lived next to louis

"Hey lou do you want Niall to come over" my mom says. I look up from my cars "ok" i say. "Ill be right back" my mom says. When she leaves i get up and look out the window. She knocks on the door and i see Nialls mom open the door. "Hi would Niall like to come over" My moms says. I open the window so i can hear better. "Ok but be back by one" My mom nods her head and leaves. When they come through the door. Niall comes running to me. We high five. My mom laughs. "If you want food just call me ill be working. Me and Niall go up to my room. Niall sots happily on my bed. "Hi" He says. "Hi" I say back. "Do u wanna see my new cars and trucks I got" I say. He knods his head and i open the bin next to my bed and pull them put. I place them on the track i have around my room. Them i hear the door open. "OhNo!" I yell. "Thats my sister" i say. I giggle. Lotti came in to my room. I pick up my pillow and toss it at her. She starts to cry. My mom comes in."louis William Tomlinson shes not even one!" My mom yells. My mom picks up lotti and leaves. "Want food" i ask Niall. Niall knods in agreement. Niall Dosnt really talk a lot. I get up and leave my room. I turn around and see still sitting on my bed. "You coming?" I ask. He gets up from my bed and joins me. We walk down the one step to get to my kitchen. "Shouldnt we tell your mom when we wanted food?" Niall asks. "No only if we need her which i dont" i reply. I jump up on the counter and take down chips. "Ready" i say to Niall. He knods and i pass the chips down to him. He opens it and takes one out. "There good, right?" I ask. He nods. My dad walks through the door. "Hi honey" says my dad. My mom kisses my dad on the cheek. Niall stares at my parents, his eyes watering. "You ok?" I ask. "Yah" he says wiping his eyes. I shrug my shoulders. "Come on lets go back to my room"I say. He nods. I walk into my room. Niall looks over to the corner of the room where a picture of me and my mom in florida. He smiles and walks to my bed. I look at the clock next to my bed 12:58. "You should go its almost 1:00" i say. "Yah" he says. He hops off my bed and leaves my room. I look at the picture of me and my mom again. I take the D.S. from my side table. I take the game Cop and Killer and slide it into the game hole. After 2 hours of playing it was time to go to my cousins yearly picnic At my aunts house. I hear screaming from outside my window. I look at nialls house. I see his dad open the door and run out slamming the door. He gets in his car and drives off crying. I look at nialls room. I see him crying. On his bed. I fell a tear drop down my cheek. "Thats why he was crying" I whisper to myself. I shake my head to get all the bad thoughts out of my head. Nialls mom comes running out pointing her middle finger atthe road crying very hard. Niall comes running out yelling at his mom. "Why did you yell at daddy i loved him now im never ganna see him again!" He starts to cry extremely hard now. Niall runs out reaching up on his tippy toes opening the door. He walks in and slams it after him. His mom runs in crying. I turn around and look in the mirror. My face was wet and red. I grab my flash light. I shine it in his window. He looks in my window and smiles. I mouth the words, I love you to him. He smiles and does it to. "Come on louis lets go" says my mom. I wave goodbye at Niall and leave. As i get in the car I look in nialls window to make sure he was ok. He was lying on his bed sleeping. I strap in and look at lotti in her car seat and smile. It was a 4 hour drive to my aunts house we got there at 7, a half an hour late. My cousin Jacob ran up to me." Louis look we made a fire" he said. "Cool" i reply. My dad comes up to me. "Heh bud!" He says. "dad! Your back from France" I yell. "I know!" He yells. I had a burger and fell asleep next to a tree.

My eyes open. I found my self in my room. I look in Nialls room. He was in his bed. His room was a mess. A face iv seen before walked in his room. I finally remembered who is was. It was his baby sitter. I leave my room and go out to my back yard. The fence between me and his back yard was broken because we shot a rocket at it. I weave through the hole in it and go to his door. I knock. His baby sitter anwsers. "Where are nialls parents?" I ask. "Well nialls dad left mad and said he was never coming back so then his mom said she was going to go find him. Now niall and me are here for god knows how long" she says. I nod and ask to see Niall. I go up to Nialls room. It was a big mess. I look at the picture of niall with his family the glass was shattered on the floor. Niall wiped his eyes. "Im just here with my baby sitter" he says. "I know" I say. "I can only stay for a few minutes" I say. "Its fine" he says. "Louis, Louis baby sit Lotti" yells my mom. "Better go now" i say. I leave and walk on the side walk to my house. "Oh there you are, will you baby sit Lotti so i can go talk to zayns parents across the street."why?" I ask. "For you birthday party tomorro" she says. I got up to go to my room. My Dad comes in my room. "I thought you were working" I say. "I wanted to spend some time with my boy" he said. "You know in three weeks your one year closer to going to collage" he says. "Dad im 7 relax" I say. He laughs. I laugh too. I hear a car go up the road. I recognized the car. The car parks in front of Nialls house. His dad walks out of the car. Niall comes out of the house running to his dad. I see them talking then Niall starts to cry. His dad hugs him and they go inside. I turn to my dad. We both smile. I think he knows what was going on. I hug my dad. My dad left. I took the sandwhich my mom had left in my room and ate it. It was about 7:30 pm so i started getting ready for bed. I played on my D.S. for a while then went to bed. I was worried about Niall. His parents were really mad at each other all because his dad didnt get to spend enough time with Niall. It was clear that Niall loved his dad more than his mom because Niall always cried when his dad left but never when his mom left. I would cry really hard if my mom left but Nialls taking it strong. Niall is also 2 years younger than me. I close my eyes and fall asleep. When i wake up to my alarm it was 7:00. I had school today. When I get up I shut my door so Lotti cant get in when im getting dressed. I grab my tshirt and jeans and slip them on. I brush my teeth and open my door. "Mom can i have cereal?" I ask. "Sure but you can 5 minutes then the bus will come" she says as she hands me my cereal. I sit up on the counter and put on my shoes on. Then i open the door and leave. I wait at the bus stop for about 2 minutes until Niall comes out. "I saw your dad come back last night" i say. "No it wasnt my dad, it was my brother Greg. He came home cuz he heard about my parents leaving, plus my baby sitter has to go so its just me and my brother" he says. "Oh" i say.There was a minute pause, then i said "ummm... When Greg came home last night why.. Why did you start to cry?" I ask."Oh because he got a text from my dad saying hes not coming home for 5 months" he says sadly. "Oh sorry" i say. He nods in agreement. The bus comes by and we get on. I go sit with dustin while Niall sits with Zayn and Liam. "Hey dustin" i say. "Hey" he says. I look on Nialls eyes. They look happy from the out side but once hes alone they turn to pain. I know millions of kids go through this but i just cant stand the thought of Niall being in pain. Its like watching your brother dying. The only time iv seem him happy scence his dad left is when he plays guirtar. Its like he goes into another universe when hes holding that thing. Niall has always wanted to learn to play guitar. He and his brother have no money though. His mom left them her credit card but Greg is only like 10. Their babysitter is ganna come every week until his dad comes back. His mom could come back first but I dont think so. I try not to think about it but i feel like every time i look at Niall i cant help but cry. He's definitely being more strong about this then I am. I look at the road. My school was around the corner. When we get off the bus i follow dustin inside the school. I take one more glance at Niall. He glances back and smiles. I smile too. Me and Niall have always liked to sing. We always make videos of us in rock star costumes. Its preety fun. I smile at the thought. As I turn into the class room i see Niall walking into the class room. I keep walking and i sit down. "Hello class" my teacher says as she walks in. Were supposed to say hi back but i just mumble. "Does anyone have their work from yesterday" she asks. I take out my crumpled work sheet. I straiten it out. The paper has drawings of random things on it. The teacher stares at me for a few seconds then at my paper, then back at me then at the class again. "Alright lets go over answers" she says. I sigh and slouch down. I really dont think she likes me that much. "1, 18,22,25,200" my teacher says. I look at my paper. 1,19,25,18,500. "Ugh" i whisper. I was always bad at math. When math ended my teacher told me to stay back. When everyone was gone she says "I really think you should do the eirly math programs before school, im getting worried your not going to be math ready for second grade" she says. "Look i have a lot of time till second grade, ill figure it out" i say. I grab my backpack and leave. At lunch I always wait for Niall. When he comes I walk next to him. "Hey" I say. "Hi!" He says. "Why are you so happy?" I ask. "Because my baby sitter called the school, my dad is home!" He yells. "Really!" I yell back. "What about your mom?" I ask. "Um.. Shes..shes not coming back...... She got a house 250 miles away" he said. I watch a tear drop down his cheek but he quickly wipes it away. When we got home that day Niall ran to his house. I followed him. His dad comes running out. He picks Niall up and swings him around kissing him the whole way around. I had never seen a bigger grin on Nialls face.

The End
