Before

Harry grew up with his four best friends, completely isolated from the world. He was the youngest of the five, and had basically grown up in the small house. He was used to the rules and never made a huge fuss about anything.

The other four were a little older. They barely remembered an outside world, but they knew there was one. They knew they didn't belong there. Louis was the oldest, followed by Liam, Zayn, then Niall. Their goal is to get Harry out of the house, but they don't know if they can. They've tried for years and hadn't had any success so far.
