Louis Tomlinson

All different.

To be honest, that would only happen me and Liam, like, between the other boys.

Like, not that it's not, like, emotional, because, like, it is, and it's definitely deeper than surface level, but it's more... It's more... I would struggle to text the other boys as much.

Why?

I mean, just... I would love to hang out with them in person like that, but I just... There's an element of it feeling...

It's just all a bit small talk, you know?

Like, which is lovely and it's nice and it's nice to catch up like that, but me and Liam would always speak on a much more deep level because... And, like, he definitely... I felt bad saying this because I feel arrogant, but I shouldn't.

I wanted to look after him, definitely, Liam.

Like, that was...

That was like a role I feel like I was there to play.

And like he definitely, you know, often his, the way he would like perceive certain parts of his life, I would be really inspired by.

Like he was someone who, really brave at times, which like contrary to sometimes what he put out, but really, really brave.

Like he would ask anyone anything with a smile and like, you know, he had a really good way about him like that.

I would say he was the closest to being my brother.

Love him deeply, could spend hours and hours and hours with him, but there was an element of always checking in and just making sure that he's cool like that.

Did you worry about him?

Always, always, yeah.

Because... Because I knew he was a little misunderstood, but also...

You know, like interestingly, the record when, when, when you start out as a solo artist, the parallels of people who know themselves made the best records.

Definitely.
