Closeted {Larry Stylinson AU}

Niall's POV

Lex and I are ice skating, and let me tell you, she is the clumsiest thing on the face of the earth. Every time I let go of her waist, she wobbles. A little after, she finally falls. Okay... she's not that bad, But definitely not as good as Harry. If him and louis ever came here on a date, they would be boss.

"Niall if you let go I swear to God..." Lex says as we're turning the corner in the ice rink. I smile as the rose sent of her hair dances in my nose. "Don't worry Lexi, I won't... yet." She starts shaking in my hands. I love messing with her, she's so beautiful... The way her red hair slightly curves to the side, her big hazel eyes, how she eats as much as me, the way she says everything is okay even though its a catastrophe, she's so fecking short, The way she sways when she walks...

The only bad thing about it is that she's so innocent, And I feel if I swear in front of her, her innocents get taken away. I have swore in front of her before, and she doesn't mind... I just don't want to, so I watch my language around her. But other than that, she is an angle.

"Ni..." I look at her face and she looks really scared. Like... she looks terrified. "What's wrong Lexi babe?" I realize I'm not holding on to the waist of her black coat. I quickly grab onto her again.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." She looks more relaxed and starts to drift with me. We spend about half and hour in each others hands.

This is your chance Horan! Let go... I slowly let go and Lex is skating all by herself. And a couple seconds ago, she was horrified to even be two feet away from me... She looks back and smiles. She's not perfect yet, but it's an improvement.

I finally enjoyed the rest of the evening and 9:00PM comes fast... inside the skating ring, theres a food place, and we both ordered pizza. After playing with our food and making jokes, Lex's phone rings. I glance over at the clock. Its 12:00 AM...Shit! Her dad's probably calling her...

"Yes?...Hi dadd- " She looks at me. "No, no... I'm not at Niall's house... Im telling you the truth I swear!" She looks away from me and at the ground. I can't believe she lied to save me...me. I don't need her to do that. Then again, She would get in trouble if I exposed that I was here with her now, so I chose to keep my mouth shut.

"Okay daddy, bye... love you too... " Don't believe him Lex. He doesn't love you. I love you, your friends love you, but he doesn't. Your father is an arsehole... I wish I could tell you out loud, but I hope you already know. She hangs up her cell phone, and turns to me again.

"I have to go home Nialler..." As soon as she said that I stood up from my seat. "I heard I'll take you home."

Lex's POV

I walk up to Niall's car, and I really don't want to go back home... I want to stay at Niall's another night. Maybe, If my dad doesn't find out about tonight, I could go back tomorrow! Everything will all work out...

"Lex, If you want, I could handle your dad for you. I know you think He'll kick my arse, but I want to help you." Niall always tries to protect me from my dad. I love my dad and all, we've had some awesome times! I wouldn't want to see him get hurt even if he killed me.

"Niaaaaaaall... I don't want you to fight my dad, I'll be okay! I'm fine." I try to say 'no' the nicest way I could. He comes closer to me and hugs me. "No, you're not. Your dad is fu- really mean..." He stresses his last words a bit and I can see he needs to blow off some steam.

"It's okay Niall, spit it out..." I rub circles in his back to calm him down. This is the only time he's ever angry... When we talk about my dad. But I can make him feel better.

"You're dad's fucking crazy... He lies to you, a lot and hits you! I don't like seeing you like this!" He points on a bruise on my arm and rolls up my sleeves. The horrible reality seeps into my mind when I see the cuts all up my arm. My eyes start to water and Niall's angry face softens. I start to cry, and I hate crying. It'll all be over in a little while... I keep telling myself.

"Lexi babe, I'm sorry... I just can't stand to see you like how you are right now. I need you to stop cutting. Please, do it for me and Louis, and Liam, and Harry... Get help, not only for your self harm, but for your dad too." My crying subsides and I still haven't let go of Niall's hug. Not that I'm complaining.

I enter his car and sit in the passenger seat. He goes into the other side and puts the key in the ignition. I still can't drive yet, but I will start this year, when I'm 16. Niall's already 17, but he's turning 18 this year. I wish I could be as old as him.

The conversation me and Niall had still bugs me though. What did he mean by "He lies to you"? Ive never heard him lie ever in my life. I guess I was just to blind to see. "Hey Niall?"

"Yeah?" He was focused on the road, but I could tell he's listening. "When has my dad ever lied to me?" He glances at me for a quick second and then looks back on the dark road. "What do you mean?"

"You said 'He lies to you a lot.' How does he lie to me?"

"I never said that." He says hesitantly. He probably forgot.

"Yes you did... earlier. Remember?" He reaches a stop light and slumps back in his seat. He sighs and then turns to me.

"He doesn't love you..." What? Of course he does...

"He does love me!" He glares at me, and I get a little scared.

"Lexi, I love you more than life itself..." He gives me a quick kiss on the lips. I smile and my light skinned face got red, Niall then continues. "...But your father, your biological father almost killed you once." I think he was referring when my dad had whipped me with a belt for nothing. He was just drunk, and I can't blame him when his mind was in that state... Drunk people are crazy sometimes.

"He was drunk, and we don't only have bad times... we have good ones too! He's not all bad."

"Oh yeah? Tell me one moment when he wasn't yelling at you, or beating you..." I take my stuffed monkey out of my pocket- yes, He was in my pocket the whole time... and hug him. I bring up my knees to my chest and think about a time when my dad wasn't hitting me.

"There was that time we went to America, and I got to see Los Angeles. We were happy then."

"You were 10..."

"And I'm still alive..." The long red light finally turned green, and Niall hits the gas pedal. I think I mad him angry... Now I feel bad.

"I'm sorry Niall... I shouldn't have brought the subject back up." His eye's are focused on the road again and he nods his head.

"I'm sorry I just acted like a douche... Its alright."

I nodded as well and we finally approached my house. I kissed Niall goodbye and exited the vehicle. I knocked on my door twice and my dad opened it. He had anger written all over his face.

"Where the fuck you been at?"

"I was Ice skating..." I try my best not to smile... He's like a lie detector. One false move and he knows.

"With who?" I honestly don't know where my Irish accent came from, because my family speaks like they're from the hood...

"No one-" My dad slaps me right across my face.

"Don't you fucking lie to me you little bitch! I know you were with that white ass boy! What his name? Niall?" My cheek stung like hell fire... I think I can still make this work if I just stay cool.

"No, I didn't go with anyone... I went alone." My dad balled up his fist and punched me in my face, resulting in a bloody lip, and a broken tooth. My mouth has blood dripping on the side of it. At least I can still talk...

"Bull fucking shit! I saw his fucking Toyota pull up here! stop fucking lying to me!" The pain was too much to choke back tears, and I started to cry. It was the second time tonight! I started to roll up in a ball at the corner of the house but my dad came to cuddle me.

"Star girl Im sorry... I'm just trying to protect you! I'm your dad, Its my job." I nodded my head. What was Niall talking about earlier? He obviously loves me. He picked me up and started carrying me to my bedroom. He opened my door and set me on the bed.

"I love you baby girl..."

"I love you too daddy." He smiled and shut off my lights. He finally left and closed the door. I take out my phone and see that I missed a call from Louis. I wonder why he wanted to call...
I started dialing his number into my key pad.

"'Ello? Lex its like 1AM, you know that right?" It is? I look at my alarm clock and it says 1:23 AM

"Oh, I'm really sorry... I wasn't keeping track of time." He yawned into the speaker.

"It's okay... How was your date with Niall?" Hehehe

"It was wonderful thank you for asking! I was actually calling you back... You called me earlier."

"Oh... *yawns again*...Oh! Yeah its really important..."

"What is it?"

"It's actually sad really...." Okay... now Lou is scaring me.

"Can you just tell me?"

"Im going to florida for five months." He's what? But he can't leave! What about Larry Stylinson?

"Why? you can't just randomly leave for somewhere!"

"My mum sad that I have to go... I just had to tell you. I'm sorry but I can't stop it..." I sighed.

"What about Harry?"

"Fucking hell..."

"I'm sorry you don't have to answer..." I move around my bed to get more comfortable. Once I'm done, Louis continues to talk.

"We'll have to long distance. But until then, were not leaving each other. He's sleeping right next to me matter of fact." Louis stops talking and I can hear soft snores on Louis end of the phone. They're so cute together! I giggle into the phone

"We have school tomorrow you know... I have to go to sleep. You do too." I nod my head even though I know he can't see. "Goodnight Louis."

"Goodnight Lex.."
