*Harry's p.o.v *

When I get home I find both my sister and mum are there. Both smiling at me "So when do we get to meet him?" Mum says

"Meet Who?" I ask them playing it dumb

"Come on. Gem said you went out on a date yesterday" mum says trying to get a answer out of me

"What if I say you have already met him mum" I tell her smiling

"What! I haven't met him?" Gemma asks

"You might have" I tell her

"It's not Liam is it?" Mum asks making me burst into laughter

"Liams my best friend" I laugh

"Ohhhhhhh... it's that Louis guy isn't it!" Mum shouts getting excited and I nod smiling "it is?"

"Yeah, it is" I smile

"But we've only been official since the date. I don't want to push things you know" I tell them and they nod understanding

I leave the room and run up the stairs to my bedroom. Once I get into my bedroom I jump on to the bed laying down with my arms and legs out as if I were a starfish. I close my eyes and smile to myself, life couldn't be any better.

I'm woke from my daydreaming by my phone vibrating on my pocket. I take it out Louis' name and picture is on the screen I press the answer button and put the phone to my ear. I hear sniffles and faint crying coming from the other end of the line "Lou? Louis? Are you okay? Why are you crying" I ask him worryingly

"I-Its Mar-Mark..." Louis cries, my heart drops

"What is it Louis?" I ask him

"H-he t-took m-my pho-ne off m-e and sa-w our mess-a-ges" Louis tells me "h-e pu-n-ched m-eee u-p and slap-ped me" Louis says faintly

"Louis, where are you" I say to him sternly

"I-n m-y bed - room waiting for h-im to come back and pun-ish me" Louis says

"Lou, I need you to get out. I need you to run towards my house, I'll come and pick you up" I tell him. My heart beat racing

"I don't kn-ow If I can Har-ry" Louis stutters crying in pain

"Lou. You've got to do it for me" I tell him "do it for me baby. I know you can" I encourage him

"O-kay" he says

"I'm going to hang up now so that you can run... promise me you will try" I say to him

"I pro-mise" he says and then I hang up

I jump up off the bed and run downstairs "mum, can you take me to Louis' house it's an emergency" I tell her

"Emergency. More like you can't go an hour without seeing each other" Gemma laughs

"Come on I'll explain in the car" I tell her. Mum walks over towards me and we head outside to the car. She unlocks the car and I climb into the passenger's seat at the front.

"Explain" she says turning the key and reversing

"Louis' step dad is homophobic, he stole Louis' phone and saw our messages. So Louis rang me and he said that his step dad had been punching him and slapping him. Then he was waiting for him to get back for his punishment. So I told him to run towards our house" I tell her

"So basically you want me to pick Louis up and bring him to ours" she says and I nod "but Haz. What happens if he sees him trying to escape, things are only going to end up worse. Or what if he finds Louis at ours, you might get hurt"

"I don't care if I get hurt" I tell her. I've been hurt so many times the feeling of being hurt doesn't physically hurt anyone.

"But I do. Your my little baby" she tells me

As we drive I keep an eye out for Louis but it's no use I can't see him anywhere. As we get closer and closer towards his house and I'm loosing all hope that he has made it out safely.

I see a moving figure on the pavement hiding behind a bin. "Pull over please" I tell my mum and she does as I ask her. I jump out of the car and run towards the bin and find Louis curled up in a ball shaking with tears rolling down his face. "Lou, Lou, it's okay I'm here now" I shout towards him. As I get to him I pull him closer towards me and embrace him kissing his forehead "I've got you" I tell him caressing his cheek

He pulls me closer to him his grip really tight, as if he was scared of letting me go. "I-I can't g-go bac-k there H-arry" Louis cries. As I rub my hand over his back mu t-shirt starts to stick to my skin because of Louis' tears.

"Come on, let's get you into the car" I tell him pulling away from him. I put my hands in his and pull him up. As we walk towards the car I can feel Louis limping, he must have been hitting him hard.

"Louis! Get fucking back here now!" A voice shouts from behind us. I look behind us and see mark in the distance running towards us. I lift Louis up and carry him bridal style towards the car, walking at a quicker speed. "You can't run from me you twisted boy! I fucking told you to wait for me... your going to get an even bigger punishment now when I get a hold of you!"

I reach for the handle for the back seats of the car. I quickly open the door and put Louis in the car. I climb into the back with him. My mum drives off, I look behind the car and Mark is still running after us. He's got to stop hasn't he?

"Are you okay Lou?" I ask him and he nods resting his head on my shoulder.

"Just hurting in some places" he says looking blankly. This isn't like Louis, I know that what has just happened is going to effect him. But I didn't think his personality would have changed... I would have thought he would have replied with a sarcastic comment. But I guess I've got to give him time... I mean Mark did say some horrible things and I'm sure that wasn't the worst that I heard.

I guess me and Louis were in the same position now... both beaten because of our sexualities.

"it'll be okay I promise" I kiss his forehead lingering there for a few seconds.
