Old Friend, Why So Shy?

Chapter 16

Louis' POV

'Why do you guys beat me up?' A very confused and eager looking Maria looked at me, waiting for an answer.

'Well..... Basically.....' Shut up Louis! You are not Harry!

Shut up I've had enough of your cocky comments for a lifetime! I remembered Maria was here. She was kinda looking at me really weirdly. Damn I have to stop having weird conversations with MYSELF!!!

'Ummm... That's not important Maria. Whats actually important is that you forgive us. Forgive what we all did. Forgive me.' I spun the conversation around.

'I'm sorry. I just can't do that anymore.' She said.

'LOUISSSSSSSS' An Irish voice said.  I popped my head round the door.

'What?' I hissed, but then started laughing as I saw the little leprechaun in a bundle. His hand was stuck to his tee shirt. And he was stuck to his chair. I saw Liam laughing with a tube of superglue in his hands.

'Help me!' Niall cried. I shook my head.

'I'll be two seconds.' I said to Maria and walked over to the blonde haired boy, letting out a small breath I didn't realise I was holding in.

Harry's POV

'Hey Maria.' I said as I walked to her.

'Harry...' She trailed off, obviously feeling nervous around me.

'Hey Maria. Do you remember the time we all went to the beach. My mum dropped us off?' I asked.

'The car ride of hell?' She said, a smile forming on her face as she regained the memory.

'Yep. You had to sit with us and we kept farting!' I started laughing. 'I remember your face. Priceless!'

'I also remember you all leaving your pizza crusts for me.' She said. I remembered her hate for pizza. She only liked the crusts, so we all ate the pizza and left her the crusts. She smiled at the memory with me.

'We can still do that.' I whispered.

'It would be too awkward.'

Suddenly I had a brilliant idea.

Maria's POV

I watched Harry's face light up like a little kids face on Christmas when he got his favourite game. It was kind of amusing.

'Come on.' He said.

'Where to?' I asked. What if we got in trouble? What if he... What if he raped me like that man did.

'Just come on. I'll show you that I'm sorry.' He said and delicately grabbed my wrist and took me out of the doors, pushing past people.

I tried to grasp free. But I seriously couldn't. He was too strong. I remembered what he did to me. I remembered how they all just left me. I remembered every single hit. Every single kick. Every single bitter laugh. Every single time they just left me there to rot.

Nobody did anything. It almost led me to commit suicide. My lungs felt short of oxygen as I desperately tried to get some air in.

'Maria? You okay? You like spazzed out there...' Harry said to me.

'I need to go sorry.' I said, wiggling out go his grasp.
