Secrets

As the two boys enjoyed their last hour together the final bell rang, releasing the kids out of the building. Harry walked out of the school on his way home just as he got stopped by someone pulling back on his shirt. Harry fell back hitting the back of his head against the school to see James with an evil smile.

“Well, well, well isn’t this Louis’s little pet. Where’s your protector at pet?” James said as he petted Harry’s hair like a pet.

Harry tried to break away from James’s grip but James pushed Harry back against the school with more force.

“Well I guess Louis isn’t going to save you then,” And with that James punched Harry in the gut and the punches after that.

The punch after punch, Harry tried to cry out for help but nothing came out of his mouth. James finally stopped with his punch to see the once nice, clean curls to bloody, bruised face and dirt clothing curled in a ball on the ground shaking, not able to move. James walked away with a laugh, leaving Harry helpless on the ground. Minute after minute Harry tried to get up but ended up falling back down to the earth. Weakly, Harry pulled out his phone and called Louis.

“Hello?”

Harry tried to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

“Harry is everything alright?”

Harry tried to get up but fell back to the ground leaving a loud cry as he fell then everything went black.

“Haz can you hear me I’m on my way to find you okay? Haz?”

Louis got into his car and sped to the last place he left Harry, the school. Louis pulled up to the school building and ran into the school calling out Harrys name but nothing. Louis ran outside of the building, tears falling just he turned the corner to see a boy lying on the ground, not moving. Louis ran over to the young boy covered in dirt and blood and held him in his arms.

“Harry, come on Harry, oh shit, do something please show me that you’re okay,” Louis whispered trying to wake up the young lad.

Harry’s small body felt cold, had a small pulse. Louis took of his jacket and wrapped the little body took him to his car and drove to Louis’s house.

Harry fluttered his eyes open, the walls were painted light blue, white blanket this wasn’t his room. Harry sat up from the bed, holding his head in pain, and walked down the stairs of the house to see a sleepy Louis.

His soft, pink lips little apart, the caramel hair sticking out in different direction and his slow breathing like and angel. Harry didn’t want to wake Louis up from his sleep but just as he was about to walk up the stairs, the stairs squeaked waking up sleeping Louis.

“Hey you’re a wake!” Louis yelled out as he ran over to Harry with a hug. “My mom gave you some medicine for the hits that you took and when I saw you on the ground, I-I thought that you were gone. Harry, please tell who did this to you?”

Harry sat down on the couch and thought but nothing came to his head. The only thing that he remembers was some kid that wore a jacket asking were was Louis at to protect him. Louis had a pretty good idea of who it was, but Harry looked at Louis with a worried look. Louis patted his head then kissed it.

“I called Anne, your mum and told her that you were staying with your new friend from school to work on homework so she wouldn’t get to worried.”

Harry nodded his head with a yawn then stretched his arms on to Louis’s chest. Louis combed Harry’s curly as Harry curled up on Louis, listening to the soft, slow heartbeat that put the young boy to sleep. Louis listened to the boy slowing breathing and wrapped his arms around the boy as Louis mom, Jay, walked down the stairs.

“You like this boy?” Jay asked as she rubbed Louis arm.

“I care about him if that’s what you mean. He’s a fragile boy and I don’t want anything to happen to him again. After what happened today at school, I need to protect him more and not let anyone else hurt him,” Louis said as he looked at the sleeping Harry with a smile.

“You may care about him but soon Loubear something going to happen later,” Jay kissed Louis goodnight then walked back to her bed.

Louis thought about what his mom said, “What if she’s right? Do I like this boy? No I can’t I’m straight as a board… I think?” Louis smiled at Harry as he fell into a deep sleep.
