Last Time:
Leon's POV:
That's the Cloud I know! I smirk as we both walk out of the room and downstairs. I flop on the couch and he glares at me, taking the barcalounger.
"That's where I was going to sit." He snarls.
"You snooze, you lose." I sigh and roll my eyes to the ceiling. "I wonder what's wrong with that kid..."
Cloud looks at me, then looks at the ceiling as well. He sighs deeply and closes his eyes, uttering one word that I almost missed.
"Abuse."

This Time:
Harry's POV:
How could one day go so wrong? How can one measly day forever change your life? I would have never thought it possible but seeing it firsthand sure changed my view point on that…
Sora's POV:
I sigh, patting this poor boy on the back. "Harry… I-" He jerks away from me quickly, leaning as far back on the headboard as possible.
"How do you know my name?" I look at him, shocked. I pointed to his naked chest where his school ID lay. He looked down, obviously confused.
"..I guess they wanted everyone to know it was me…" Now it's my turn to look confused.
"What do you mean? Who?" He instantly looks up at me, his eyes guarded.
"Nothing." Bullshit! I don't normally swear, not even in my head but this is a big load. I, however, let it slide.
"What happened to you Harry?" He looks at me for a moment, his breath getting faster. I start to get worried as he takes big gasps.
"Harry! It's okay! Calm down, you're going to hyperventilate!" He takes a few deep, calming breaths, his eyes tightly squeezed shut. Once he starts breathing normally, I try again.
"What happened?" He looks back up to my face, his eyes dead.
"I don't remember…" He looks off to the side. I roll my eyes. Call me stupid but that doesn't mean I am. I can tell when someone is lying to me.
"Look Harry… I can tell what you've been through. I've been through something similar before. You can tell me." He doesn't look up at me. He acts as though he didn't even hear me. I let out a frustrated sigh. I really didn't want it to come to this point, but it seems I have no choice.
"If I tell you my story, will you tell me yours?" I pause for a moment, letting him think it through.
After what seems like forever he finally nods and looks up at me. I brace myself for a long and painful conversation.
"Well it all started about 2 years ago…"
Cloud's POV:
"You're such a retard Leonhart!" I glare over in his direction, listening to the TV as it continuously changes channels. "Just pick something!!!"
"Well you're a pompous ass!" But the channel surfing stops on a crappy infomercial. Sora and that boys' conversation is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I glance back at the TV and watch.
….
"What else is on?"
Leon's POV:
And he calls ME the retard.
Harry's POV:
Up, back, forth, and back again. My eyes follow Sora as he paces around the room, obviously distressed at revealing this extremely private information.
"I had just entered my 11th grade year. I was only fifteen at the time, but I was advanced for my age…" He trailed off apparently realizing the inconsequential information he was spilling. He finally stopped moving around and sighed, before sitting back down in the chair. My heart ached for him at this point. If he was fifteen then, that makes him seventeen now; my age. He was so young.
"I started at a new school. We had just moved and everyone was so nice to me. They all said I was adorable, like a teddy bear. There was this group of boys, however, that seemed to particularly hate my guts. I shrugged it off as them just being jealous of my intellect." He ran a hand through his hair.
"A few months in, after proving myself far more intelligent than everyone at the school, I became the outcast. Nobody thought I was cute anymore. I was a geek, a nerd, and worse… Different. That group of boys had started rumors about me, saying that I cheated, that I was twenty years old, and that I was gay. Soon, everyone was on the bandwagon to pick on me, call me names and, most of the time, be downright ruthless. I was jumped a lot, beat up all the time, and blamed for stealing equipment and such from classrooms." My eyes widened slightly and I shook my head. All that just for being smart…
"Finally my parents became involved. They talked with the principals and made them see that the things I was accused of were all lies. But that backfired on me as well. Now I was the snitch that had to run to 'mummy and daddy'!" An angry scowl crossed his face.
"One day after a late study session, my parents were supposed to pick me up, and they forgot. It wasn't really a big deal, I just walked home. It was about 3 miles, but only a mile and a half if I cut through the woods, so I did." He paused, chewing on his words for a moment. I could see the regret in his eyes.
"I was about half-way through when I realized there was someone behind me. I turned, and there were actually five someone's behind me. That group of guys." He rubbed his eyes, as if regretting ever starting this conversation.
"They cat called me, yelled after me all sorts of names. I started to run. They ran after me, slammed me to the ground and…" He stopped again, trying to sum up the courage to continue.
"They… tore off my clothes, took a knife to me and cut my flesh." At this point he stopped and pulled up his shirt, showing angry scars across his chest. My eyes widened in shock. Who could do this to another person?
"Then they… Well…" He sighed, and then mumbled so quietly I could hardly hear him.
"They raped me, all five of them." He sat down next me, slumped over and looked off into the distance, a haunted look in his eyes. I gently reached out and touched him after a moment, jarring him out of his thoughts. He cleared his throat and looked at me.
"Later, I don't know how long, I passed out… Leon came looking for me. He's my brother and he worries about me non-stop. He knew I'd cut through the trees so he did too and he found me…" He trailed off, his eyes glazed.
Tentatively, I reached out and hugged him.
"That makes my story seem like a walk in the park." I attempted a half smile, failing miserably. He glanced over at me.
"Well do I get to hear that walk in the park now?" I fidgeted under his gaze, thinking of a way to procrastinate this moment.
"I have a question first. Why don't you live with your parents?" He froze for a minute, and then relaxed.
"They died in a car accident that night. And to think, I was mad at them for not picking me up, and they were dead, rushing to get to the school on time." Now it was my turn to freeze. I threw the carefulness away and lunged on him, hugging him fiercely. He was shocked for a moment, but relaxed and returned the hug, even smiling a bit.
"Now, Mr. Harry. I know that was a well disguised way of trying to NOT tell me your story, and I'm sorry to say I'm a little too smart to fall for that." Sora smiled at me slyly.
I grinned up at him sheepishly, and then sighed. I guess I have to; he won't ever drop it if I don't.
"Ok…"
Leon's POV:
I wonder what is taking those two so long! Maybe Sora is getting Harry to talk. I hope so. Loathe though I am to admit it, I can't stand to see someone with such innocence in that much pain. And the resemblance to when I found Sora? I thought my heart was going to break.
Click…. Click…. Click….
"OK!!! STOP ALREADY!"
"Well you asked what else was on, and I'm showing you!" I grinned. I love to push Cloud's buttons. Hey, that's what little brothers are for right? Annoyance?
Click…. Click…. Click….
Cloud's POV:
I'm going to KILL that bastard!
