A/N: trigger warning: mentions of rape

Chapter 09 (edited)

"Detention?!" Troy exclaimed as soon as Louis entered the door. Louis stepped back, startled by his father's sudden outburst.

"How dare you!" His father shouted walking closer to Louis.

"I-I'm so sorry father, I accidentally fell asleep during English and--" Louis was shoved against a door, his back slamming against it. His father's eyes were angry, extremely angry.

"You fell asleep in school! That's it. GET OUT," Troy's booming voice demanded, no mercy.

"Dad, I promise it'll never happen again, plea-"

"You're right it won't. You're sleeping outside today!" Troy finalizes but Louis' eyes widen and eyes get glossy.

"I-I can't. It's so cold and please father," Louis says, thoroughly wiping his eyes, he never thought his father would take a punishment to this extent.

"I don't care Louis. Get out of my house," Troy says sternly, throwing a thin sheet at Louis, which would barely warm up the boy.

"Ple-"

"OUT!" Troy shouts, causing Louis to flinch, nodding his head and rushing out, tears falling onto his cheeks when he hears the clank of the door locking.

His body racks with sobs as he sits on his porch, his head in his hands. Louis looks at his watch, seeing that it was getting late. He needed a place to stay tonight, he couldn't sleep on his porch with a sheet.

He rings on his house's doorbell crossing his fingers for it to open, but it never does. Louis sighs, taking out his phone and calling Niall, running his hand over his face when it goes straight to voicemail. He next calls Liam, getting no answer from him either.

The tears started to build up in Louis' eyes again as he remembered that the drive from Harry's house to his was just about five minutes so he could probably walk there. He sighed, trying to find his way, slightly hesitant because it was pretty dark and Harry's part of town wasn't very safe at this time.

He tried to remember the route, practically running because of his fear. He gasped when a hand grabbed him, pulling him into an alley. He screamed loudly when his own blue orbs met cold, dark eyes.

A large man was in front of him, pressing his hand to Louis' mouth to muffle his screams. Louis tried to kick the man in the crotch but in return got a slap in the face, his right cheek stinging.

Louis tried to push the man away but he wasn't strong enough, the tears started to stream down his face as he realized what was going to happen to him.

"Get off," Louis shouted, trying to kick the man.

The man pushed himself further onto Louis, his cold eyes blaring at Louis'.

"Try that one more time and I'll stab you," The man's harsh voice whispered in Louis' ear.

Suddenly the man is being pulled away from Louis, being thrown to the ground. Louis' eyes widen as he sees Harry punching the guy harshly in the face, knocking him down and getting on his knees, not slowing down. Louis quickly pulled Harry away, telling him to not kill the guy.

"He's fucking disgusting, he deserves to be killed," Harry says, wiping the blood from his mouth but standing up. He grabbed Louis' hand and pulled me him out of the alley.

"What are you doing out at this time?" Harry asked, clearly worried. Louis wipes his tears.

"M-my dad locked me out because I got the detention and Niall or Liam didn't answer the call so I tried to walk to your house," Louis said, wiping his face once more.

"Why were you out?" Louis asks and Harry sighs, motioning to the small grocery store across the street.

"I was getting some bread for my house," He mutters.

"Well, if you want, you can stay at mine tonight," Harry says, causing Louis to nod, a thankful expression appearing on his face.

They walk to Harry's house, which was right across the road.

"My mum won't mind but just go up to my room," Harry says and Louis smiles, running up the stairs.

A short while later Harry joins Louis, giving him sweats and a white t-shirt to wear. Louis goes into the bathroom, changing and coming out, not seeing the fond look Harry gives him. The t-shirt reached mid-thigh and the sweats went way past his feet but at least he was comfortable.

"I'll go to the couch," Harry says, taking a pillow from the bed and Louis shakes his head.

"No, I feel bad, it's your house. I-um I guess that I don't really mind sleeping in the same bed," Louis says softly.

"Okay," Harry says, going to change.

"What's wrong with your house. Now it's really hot!" Louis says, fanning himself.

"Yeah, the air conditioner is broken so it's bloody hot. We're getting it fixed tomorrow," Harry says, wearing only sweats.

"You can take off your shirt if you want," Harry mutters, entering the bed but Louis shook his head, cheeks turning red.

Louis gets into bed, but his legs were burning. He put the blanket over himself, making sure that he was covered before checking with Harry if it was fine if he took off the sweats.

Harry didn't mind.
