Gone

"Darling, can you wake up for me?" Harry asks gently as he strokes Louis hair.

"Mmph" Louis makes a disgruntled noise.

"Sorry angel, it's time to go home" Harry says sweetly.

Louis blinks his eyes open and comes face to face with a smiling Harry.

"Hi" Harry smiles goofily.

"Hi" Louis smiles back.

"Ready to go?" Harry smiles.

"Yeah, sorry" Louis says as he sits up, Harry helps him gently.

"Don't be, you were out to the world, I'm sorry I had to wake you" Harry says.

"It's fine" Louis says a she stand up wobbly, he has an ache in his backside and Harry smirks knowingly.

"Don't laugh, You're the one who will have to carry me" Louis says playfully.

Harry smirks.

"I would carry you everywhere" Harry replies.

"Can I use the bathroom before we go?" Louis asks,

"Of course, I have some files to take to the car, Scotts already there, meet us there?" Harry asks.

"Yeah sure" Louis says and gets up to go to the bathroom, he hides his limp well and makes it to the bathroom without anyone noticing him.

Louis feels a bit tired and flu like, he knows he's going to get in trouble for keeping it from the boys but he doesn't want the fuss, he's sure he can get over a stupid cold by himself.

As he finishes up in the bathroom, Louis walks to the car park, when he slips out the side door to walk down the side of the building, he runs into a hard chest, he's grabbed and pushed harshly into the brick wall, he hits it with a umph.

"You stay the fuck away from Harry, you aren't good enough for him, got it" Dan spits at Louis.

"Get off" Louis says as he tries to push Dan off him, he's bigger and stronger than Louis though.

"See, you're weak as piss, good for nothing, you're scum and Harry will se that eventually" Dan says.

Tears spring to Louis eyes, the grip on him his tight and Dan is hurting him.

"Do you understand Louis" Dan says and he brings Louis forward by the collar of his shirt before he's slamming Louis into the wall effectively hitting his head, causing Louis to wince.

"Get the fuck off him now" Harry's voice then rings through the snow covered alleyway.

"Harry...I" Dan says startled as he tries to think quick, knowing he's been caught and he's fucked up.

"Save it Dan, let him go" Scott says coming next to Harry,

Dan does and Harry grabs him while Scott moves towards Louis. Making sure he's okay.

"You can kiss this case goodbye, you better be in a car heading back to your own town by tonight, if I ever see you ever again I'll make sure you pay for what you just did to my boy" Harry snarls.

"Harry please" Dan tries.

"I'd shut up before I report you, now fuck off" Harry says and he lets Dan go and he runs from the ally.

"Okay kiddo?" Scott says.

Louis has a slight ringing in his ears and he looks at Scott a bit vaguely.

"Louis, kid, focus on me babes" Scott says

Louis tries and eventually finds Scott's eyes,

"Good boy, kiddo, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Scott asks worriedly.
