A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Ah don't kill me my computer hates me and wouldn't work...so that's my excuse.


Harry saw the look of complete horror on his face as he answered his phone. He instantly turned to him a bit worried because when Liam get's that look on his face you know something serious just happened. Harry tensed at the first thing Liam said...

"Lou I can't understand you want happened?" Liam stated calmly. The atmosphere in the car quickly changed the tension was so thick you could cut it.

"Where are you Louis?" Liam asked. Harry was getting anxious, "Liam whats going on...what's wrong with Louis." Harry cried as he grabbed for the phone. Liam tried to stop him but Harry was to quick

"Lou..what's happened...are you okay?" Harry asked frantically. By now people were honking behind us to go since the light turned green, but this was a more bigger situation.

"...H...az."

"Louis!"

"Get your ass back over here you think you can just leave me...I'll fucking kiHarry looked at the phone in disbelief...Louis hung up.

"He hung up." Harry whispered as he looked at Liam, "Liam he hung up!" he cried. Liam didn't even say anything as he whipped the car around in a full u-turn, he fucking knew that something was going to happened. He should've stayed...he should've took Louis back home with him and Harry.

Hmmm some time before all that

Louis was patiently sitting on the couch waiting for Casey to get ready. He wasn't really sure where they were going but he didn't want the other boy to be angry. It wasn't all that surprising when Casey told Louis that he was taking him out, because usually they would do something 'fun' before Casey left. Although Louis was hungry and looking forward to go anywhere that had food, he really didn't feel like walking around. His head was still pounding and his throat felt pretty sure, and to make matters worse it was raining outside.

"Tommo have you seen my green shirt?" yelled from upstairs. Louis laughed a bit before yelling that it's probably somewhere on the floor in there room. It got really quiet all of sudden like one of those creepy scary movie kind of silent. Louis stood up silently and cautiously made his way to the stairs, "Uh Casey...did you find it?" Louis asked as he walked into the room.

Louis looked around the room and didn't see Casey anywhere. Then something caught his eyes that made his whole body freeze up in fear. There strewn across the floor was the bags that he had so carefully packed and stashed away under the bed. Louis slowly took a step back, scared out of his wits now because if Casey found the bags...then where the hell is he?

"So you were going to leave me after all?" Casey said as he stepped out the bathroom. Louis could feel the anger just roll of Casey in waves of rage. He was angry...beyond angry right now and Louis regretted not taking Liam offer. Casey slowly walked over to the bags that were lying on the floor and picked one up. He looked at Louis before throwing the bag at the window, the sheer force of it broke it completely. Louis jumped, he didn't expect that at all; he watched Casey throw his bags out the now broken window. He turned to Louis his face set into a deep scowl, "You are not leaving me Tommo." he stated.

He took one step towards Louis and the blue-eyed boy flew out the room. He made it as far as the end of the steps before he was slammed into the wall. A hand was around his throat and Louis couldn't help but have this feel of deja vu. He struggled in Casey's grip, it was much stronger than it was usually...is he really trying to kill me Louis thought to himself.

"I love you Louis why can't you see that?" Casey asked as he pressed his nose into Louis' neck, the other boys hands now trailing down Louis' lithe body. Louis flinched at every touch, he didn't like this...he didn't like this at all.

"Get off me please." Louis whimpered. Casey stopped his ministrations and looked Louis scare eye before punching him in the jaw. Louis fell to the floor cupping his bruised cheek, "You sure as hell didn't want me to get off yesterday." Casey growled as he picked Louis up off the floor by his shirt.

Louis whimpered when Casey held up his hand again, "Just look at you...just a scared little slut that's all you are and that's all you'll ever be." he hissed. Casey lifted his foot and dug the heel of his shoe into Louis' stomach, grinding it. "You know if you would just behave I wouldn't have to do this to you." Casey said simply.

Louis coughed before letting his own scowl adorn his face, "Behave...look at what your doing...to me." he wheezed. "What kin of fucking...boyfriend are you." he said. Louis could see Casey's eyes fill with rage but Louis didn't care he was at his breaking point. He shoved Casey's foot of his stomach and staggered to his feet, his head still pounding and every muscle in his body tense.

"I'm tired of your bullshit, you beat and call me names but yet you say you love me." Louis yelled, "Everything that comes out of your mouth is complete and utter bullshit and I fucking hate you Casey, I fucking hate you with a passion and yes I was going to leave you, I was going to leave you and go live with Harry while you were gone and I wasn't coming back." Louis all but screamed. Casey stood there in complete shock, surprised that Louis actually spoke back.

Louis was starting to feel faint now, "I...would rather...spend my time... with someone who would actually... love me." he said softly.

Casey growled low in his throat, "Oh yeah and who exactly would that be?" he questioned. Louis looked Casey in the eyes and smiled.

"Harry."

Louis saw it coming, he predicted that Casey would lunge forward and try to get at him. Louis took off to the bathroom and locked himself inside it. Trying to get his breaths to slow down he reached for phone and called Liam.

"Hello...Louis?"

Casey started to bang on the door making Louis panic even more. "Li...hurLouis started to cough..-Ca...sey."

"Louis I can't understand you what happened?" Liam asked his voice was calm but it was laced with panic. Casey started to yell those hurtful things again and Louis couldn't control the sobs that was wrecking his body.

"Louis where are you?" Liam cried. Louis heard some noises before he heard Harry's deep voice over the phone.

"H...az." Louis whimpered just as the door was broken down by Casey. Louis felt the air rush out his stomach as Casey kicked him; his phone flying to the floor with a clatter.

"If your trying to leave your going out the same way those bags went ..." Casey growled as he dragged Louis out the bathroom. Louis then started to really panic after remembering how his bags ended up. They lived in a two story flat, considering the fact that Louis was a bit fragile and sick there was know way he was walking away from this without some broken bones.

Louis was grabbing for anything to slow his demise, when Casey tried to drag him back up the stairs he held on for dear life onto the banister. "Come on you little...-Louis didn't hear the rest of Casey's sentence because the front door was slammed open. Louis looked up to see Liam, his hair plastered to his head from the rain, his face set into a deep frown.


"L...Liam." Louis croaked he was going to ask where was Harry but he felt Casey's grip loosen; therefore making him fall and hitting his head on one of the steps.

"Where is he!" Harry yelled as he pushed passed Liam.

"Harry you need to get Louis." Liam said calmly. Harry's green eyes trailed to the staircase where he saw his boo on the floor.

"You fucking twat!" Harry growled as he lunged forward after Casey. The curly haired boy balled his fist and punched Casey straight in the face. They ended up on the floor in the living room rolling around and throwing punches. While Harry and Casey were having it out for each other Liam was busy trying to coax Louis back to consciousness but with no luck. Liam was starting to panic now because he could tell that Louis had fever, looking back over his shoulder he saw Harry kick Casey in the stomach.

"Harry we need to go like now." Liam said as he picked Louis up bridal style. Harry looked over to Liam and back to Casey who was on the floor. Harry took a calming breath before walking over and taking Louis form Liam's arms. He took his jacket off and covered Louis with as he walked out the door.

Liam started to follow but a hand wrapped around his ankle. The boy felt a streak of disgust go through him before bringing his other foot and slamming it into Casey's stomach. After doing that he crouched down so that he was face to face with Casey.

"Come near Louis again and I will make your life a living hell." Liam hissed before walking towards the front door and slamming it shut.

Once he got in the car he saw that Harry was in the backseat with Louis in his arms. Liam felt like this was his fault, he knew that Louis was in trouble and yet he didn't do anything to stop it. He started the car and headed to his and Harry's flat.

"I should've told you." Liam said softly as they came to another red lie. Harry looked up into the review mirror, his green eyes holding a bit of anger. "I knew what was going on...but Lou...he said he would handle it." Liam sniffed.

"Yeah because this obviously proves that he has it under control." Harry hissed back. Now Liam felt even worse, this wasn't supposed to happen. He practically let Louis get beat up...he knew and he didn't..."I'm sorry."

"No...do...on't apologize." Liam turned to look at Louis staring at him through lidded eyes. Harry wrapped his arms around the boy tighter. "Boo..." he whispered.

"No s'not Liam's...fault Haz...don't be angry at'em." Louis whispered as he struggled to keep his eyes open. Harry sighed before looking at Liam's puppy dog face...now who can stay mad at that?

"Talk about it later, right now we need to get Lou's head checked out." Harry said. Liam nodded as he started to drive again, he picked up his phone and called Danielle. Since she wanted to be a nurse some day, Liam was pretty sure that she could help.

When they pulled into driveway Danielle's car was already there and she was patiently waiting on the porch. Harry carried Louis out the car and to the front door, "Oh my gosh what happened to him?" Danielle asked, giving Louis worried looks. Liam opened the door and ushered everyone, "We'll explain while you check him out." was all Liam said.

Only a couple minutes later was Louis all bandaged up and sleeping soundly in Harry's bed. Harry, Liam and Danielle were sitting around the bed waiting for Louis to come around again. While they were waiting Lima filled Danielle in on what happened to Louis and how they all ended up in this situation.

"I knew I didn't like that guy." Danielle said as she scrunched up her nose. Liam nodded his head in agreement as he looked at the fevered boy in the bed. Nobody deserved to be treated like this, especially with Louis...such a fragile person.

"I always thought that you to would be together?" Danielle suddenly said as she looked at Harry. Said boys face flamed in embarrassment as he looked at the girl incredulous. Liam laughed a little at Harry's expression.

"What don't give me that look, you've fancied Louis since high school." she said with a smile.

Harry crossed his arms over his chest, "No...I...well technically I'm-"Madly in love with him?" Liam finished. Harry looked at his friends and then his gaze settled on Louis; his best mate since middle school, the first time Harry seen him it was love at first sight. When high school rolled around Harry noticed everything about Louis now that they were grown up. How pretty his blue eyes were, his feminine yet lithe figure, his fluffy looking hair and his loud boisterous personality. Harry loved Louis, but he was to scared to tell him, he didn't want to ruined there friendship. Plus he didn't even know if Louis was even gay which made his situation even worse. However when they all started college Louis came out to everybody which shocked most of them.

Harry remembered Louis coming back into there dorm room one time with bruises all over him. This was freshman year he believed when people didn't take it kindly that Louis was gay. But somehow Harry thought that people would just get over shit like that since it was college but you know, theirs always that one douchebag. Anyway Louis was scared all the time which was weird for him, he was always paranoid about every little thing. And all Harry wanted to do was protect him from harm, and that's where Casey came in.

Louis was vulnerable, scared and insecure and Casey was the strong over-protective gay guy in the football team. Harry could've stopped them, he saw the look in Louis' eyes when Casey would come around. And how at ease Louis was just because he found another gay guy to be with, so of course it was natural that they started to date.

But looking at Louis' battered face and body he felt like this was his fault. Him and Liam...hell everybody who was friends with Louis had a bad feeling about Casey. But seeing the blue-eyed boy so happy nobody wanted to interfere, but if this was the outcome of it all...it wasn't worth it.

-"Harry...arry!"

Harry snapped out his thoughts of the past when Liam put a hand on his shoulder. He looked up, tears welling up in his eyes, "Don't think for a minute that this your fault." Liam said softly. Harry started to shake his head.

"Your...not supposed to let the person you love get hurt." he said his voice hoarse; trying to hold a sob in.

"Harry it was your fault alright...it was Lou's decision to go out with Casey." Liam said, "And yes we kind of warned him but we all knew that we wanted to see him happy."

"So now that Casey is out of the picture...you can do that." Danielle piped up from where she stood next to Liam.

"What if he doesn't like me back?" Harry asked as he looked at Louis. Danielle and Liam laughed at Harry's answer.

"Are you kidding?" Liam questioned. "If Louis doesn't like you back then the world must be coming to a end."

Harry sighed before running a hand through his curls, "Right.." he said a bit unsure.

Liam patted Harry's shoulder before looking over to Danielle, "I can still come over yeah?" he asked.

She nodded her head yes, "Your leaving?" Harry asked. Liam nodded his head, "Yah I'm pretty sure you want space to get your feelings all sorted out with Louis tomorrow, so I'll just stay with Dani for the night." he explained.

"Oh well okay I'll see you later than mate...and thanks." Harry said, getting up and hugging Liam.

"Don't worry about it curly." Liam said as he took Danielle's hand and walked towards the door.

Once they left Harry kicked off his shoes and crawled in the bed with Louis. His arms instantly bringing the boy close to him. His heart nearly lept out his chest when Louis turned his sleep and cuddled against Harry's chest. His arms curled by his own and his nose just barely touching Harry's shoulder.

Harry let a smile fill his face as he nuzzled his nose into Louis' hair, "I love you." he whispered.

Harry was pretty much asleep he wasn't sure but he thought he heard a 'I love you' but was already on the lines of slumber.


Hey okay I'll stop with the suspense moments...for now. From being threatened with cheese...no no Lions shaped like cheese lmao and being haunted for eternity? I think you guys had had enough of my teasing so here we go. So I ended this one kind of soft...can you feel the Larry feels? There's more to come I promise.

Uh one thing I hate doing are info chapters, when the authors gives all the boring back history on the characters but I mean I know you got to know all that stuff to understand the story better sooo yeah that's the whole Harry spacing out and going back in time for a while...hate typing those but my beta thought I should go ahead and get it over with.
