Louis

Harry pulled away from me after a few minutes and guided me out of the bathroom and back into the court room.Once we entered we were informed that the recess would be extended until tomorrows and that I would testify over the the phone so I would not have to come back in until the verdict came in. I slowly followed Harry to the car, still scanning for Maverick. As we made it to a car a strong voice cut through the silence in my head.

"Louis!"

I looked around me and finally spotted Maverick walking towards us while having his hands. I slowly backed up into the protection of Harry as the older man stopped in front of us.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you," He said with a bright smile as he held his hand out infant of me causing me to flinch back slightly. I saw the sadness flash through his eyes and slowly put his hand down until I quickly grabbed it and gave it a shake.

"It is nice to meet you too," I whispered quietly as I melted into Harry's side, closer and closer. Maverick's gaze soon left me and wandered to Harry, keeping his bright smile.

"Are you Harry, Louis' friend I am guessing?" Maverick asked as he held his hand out and Harry gladly took it.

"Yes, we are just friends," Harry said as the words cut into me like knives. Why did it hurt so much? 

"It is nice meeting both of you. I've done a little research and you've got your life together, Harold. If Louis would want to stay with you I could withdraw my custody motion. I would just want to be able to see him once in a while," His words made my eyes light up as Harry smiled slightly.

"I will talk to Louis about it, but it is your call," Harry said with a smile as he turned and guided me to the car.
