Summary
Louis never thought he had a problem. Sure, he dabbled, took some pills here, took a line there, but it was all just part of the fun. Until his mum found a bag of molly in his sock drawer and shipped him off to rehab for ten weeks before he could even think of an excuse.
Harry on the other hand, has always known he had a problem. He just never thought anyone else would notice. But when his mum caught him stealing her tilidine perscription she shipped him off as well, whether it was because she cared or was annoyed her pill bottle kept emptying itself, Harry wasn‘t sure.
Thrown together in a place neither of them wanted to be, Louis and Harry form an unlikely bond, one built on whispered confessions during sleepless nights, quiet companionship in group therapy and the raw, aching need to be understood. As the months turn into years they get closer and closer until they‘re essentially attached at the hip.
Recovery isn‘t linear. There are victories and relapses, progress and and backslides. But through it all, Louis has his people, Zayn, Niall, Oli and Eleanor, his found family, the ones who refuse to give up on him despite being just as messed up as he was. Slowly but surely, they become Harry‘s family too.
