Secrets

• Harry opened his eyes to see that he was back at Louis's house. Harry got up from Louis's bed and walked into his bathroom to see not one cut on his face. "Maybe that was all a dream," Harry examined his face with a smile then ran down the stairs to find Louis. Harry looked in the kitchen expecting Louis making breakfast but he found nobody, not even Jay. Harry was confused and scared. He walked out of the house into a dark, clouded sky, couldn't see the ground he walked on or the lights from the buildings. Harry slowly walked the streets looking back and forth as if he was in a horror movie, "Well isn't this sweet, little Harry alone."
  
  Harry turned around to see a man in a black jacket and black hat hiding under a dim light. Harry walked a few steps closer to the man, "I bet you are wondering 'where is everybody?' Well I would love talking to you but I got to run. See you around, in the end."
  
  Harry was about to reach out to the man but the man disappeared before he had the chance. Harry wanted Louis, he wanted Louis to have him feel safe but Louis was gone. Harry walked to the school of torcher but not one person noticed him, not even James. Harry waved his hand across James's face but James kept walking away.
  
  "Louis hasn't left his side for the pass few days, do you know what to him?" Harry over heard a girl with blonde hair ask one of her friends.
  
  "Yeah but I don't know what happened. Louis won't say. All I know is that Louis said that who ever did this is going to pay," The other girl said as they walked into their classes.
  
  Harry stood in the middle of the hallway watching everyone go by. "Why was Louis gone for the pass days? What happened?"
  
  "Harry you don't remember what happened? The reason why Louis is gone is because of you. It's all your fault and I bet that if you tried to show your face to Louis, he'll reject you, like your family did!" The voice of the man said as he patted Harry's shoulder. Harry shook his head, trying to ignore the man but he kept going. "You know that's the truth if only you would've played the game fair and square none of this would have happened."
  
  Harry wanted the man to stop but he knew nothing could happen if he tried.
  
  "Don't you remember me Harry, I'm your voice or should I say your brother," The man said as he walked in front of Harry showing his face.
  
  Harry's jaw drooped to the ground, Trevor was the voice but the question Harry fought was why did Trevor want Harry to kill himself? Trevor always protected Harry to make sure no harm got in his way, this was not the Trevor Harry imagined.
  
  "Harry when mom and I left I was glad. I wanted to be free like the rest of the kids in my grade but I got held back because of you. I could never do anything fun because of you and that's the same thing going on here with you and Louis. You're holding him down and he's only pretending to be happy for you. Louis doesn't like you and he'll never will-"
  
  "Stop!" Harry shouted back then covered his mouth with his hand. Did Harry just spoke?
  
  Trevor looked at Harry with wide eyes but behind those eyes were fear. Just as Trevor was about to speak Harry interrupted him.
  
  "I had enough with your bullshit!" Harry yelled at Trevor. "I may have not spoken for a well six damn years but I do have a say. The Trevor I knew stood by me when dad tried to beat me, he protected me, he loved me but never told me to kill myself. You may not be my Trevor but I will tell you this, you may abuse me with your words but I know that I got someone who will protect me through everything. Answer me this, if Louis doesn't care about me then why is he always there by my side when I feel like the whole world is crashing on me?"
  
  Trevor looked at Harry with nothing to say. Trevor let out a shriek as he turned into black smoke released into the sky. Harry had the biggest smile in his face just as he heard a loud soft voice, "Come with me and I will show you where Louis is." With that Harry closed his eyes and opened them to see Louis sitting next to Harry in the hospital bed. Harry had tubes out of his nose, wires out of his arms, stiches on the cuts that were on his face, a sling on his left arm. Harry was in shock, Did I die in the hospital? Was this the reason why Louis as been gone? Harry looked over at Louis who looked like he was writing a note on a piece of paper with tears stains on his cheeks.
  
  Harry,
  
  I just wanted you know that you are the only true friend that I had in a long time. The reason why I was the big tough guy at school and the reason why I dressed the way I did was because my past wasn't the greatest. At the age of eleven, my dad left me and my sister Lottie but soon after he left my sister became sickly ill. I had to give up some of my hours at school to take care of my family so I got a job and I've been there since. My sister eventually got better but just like that my dad took her away from me. I tried to visit her but my dad would tell me to get lost and that he doesn't want me around. My sister and I would secretly talk on the phone when he wasn't around but soon she got caught and I never talked to her since. That tore my heart up and that's when I had the thought that no one would like me as me but as a tough kid. But that all changed because of you. When I saw you had fear, broken, scared all over your face and your eyes when James picked on you, I knew that I wasn't the only one. I knew that you had the same feelings I did about being broken. I'm the broken person because of what happened between me and my dad but your the mute because of what happened in your past. Harry I don't care what people may say but I do know this, you are one special kid, not because you're mute but because of what's inside. That's the reason why I changed. I got to look towards the future and not the past hold me down and I hope you do the same with me. This is letter twenty-one and I hope you get better by each letter.
  
  -Louis :)
  
  Harry looked over at Louis with a smile and whispered in his ear, "Louis I know that you can't probably hear me but I just wanted to say that you were the one who told me to be brave. I was scared that no one would like me because of my past or because I was mute but you saw past that. Promise me this that you won't ever let go. Don't let me go." With that Harry kissed Louis's cheek and closed his eyes as his mind went white.
