Prologue

Louis' been at the orphanage since day one. Since then he's been in and out of many different homes, each one of them returning him because of the same reason; he's too different, not like other little boys. But one kid can only take so much rejection before he shuts down and loses all hope in himself that even when a family does take him home for good, treats him as their own child and loves him unconditionally for many years, he still has his doubts. When Louis returns from Uni to visit his family he finds himself struggling to keep the secret that he just knows will make him lose his family and he doesn't know if he could handle that. He knows it's what all those other families saw in him as a kid and he just knows that his family won't put up with it, why would they? Will Louis be able to keep his secret? Does he really want to if it means living an extremely unhappy life, pretending to be something he's not and hurting someone he cares deeply for? Louis just doesn't know what to do, either way, he knows he is losing someone he cares about.
