Harry's POV
[Thursday]
"I'll be back soon Harry. I have some things to take care of. You gonna to be alright here by yourself?" My stepdad Robin asks.
"Yeah."
"Ok, see you later." He said before I nodded and he is on his way.
My mum had some extra work to do at the office, so it was just me and Robin for the whole day. Louis and Eleanor are going on their first date today, so he won't be coming over today.
So I just rested on the couch and decided to watch a couple of my favorite movies and TV shows as I finish a couple of my school assignments because I had to stay out for the rest of the week.
While I was out I received a couple of cards from the teachers and school staff. I even got a visit from Mr Higgins, he told me about how worried and concerned he was about me. He told me that I could come to him if I ever needed someone to talk, and solve out my problems in school.
Since my parents figured out about my self harming they both decided that I should see the school psychologist that helps with students that go through the same things I do, so I will be seeing Mrs Teasdale on Monday.
Before I begin to watch TV and start to munch on a my favorite bag of chips the doorbell rings.
I slowly get up and wince at the sharp pain in my lower rib. I stand up completely and ambled over to the door.
I leisurely opened the door and was not prepared for the person I see at the door.
"Liam!?"
It was the boy that hasn't talked to me in 2 years, left me to join Zayn's bad boy crew, and was once my friend.
Liam was badly injured. He had a swollen black eye, his face was a bit bruised, his shirt had blood stains on it, and he was heavily breathing.
"Yeah, can.. I..p-please come..in? I..
g-got....j-jumped..a..couple..of blocks...down.." He said out of breath.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him into my house."Get your ass in here!" I said before I let him in and I closed the door.
I helped him over to the couch he sat him down still in pain myself which makes me wince out loud."Ow."
"Harry...don't..w-worry..about..me
your still..hurt." He says as tries to breathe.
"No. Let me get you some ice." I said as I made my way to the kitchen to get him and ice pack.
I grabbed and ice pack out of the freezer and made my way back to the couch.
I sat down and handed him the ice pack."Here."
He takes it from me and gives me a weak smile."Thanks mate." He said placing the ice pack on his swollen eye.
"Your welcome, now tell me what happened."
He finally catches his breath and begins to speak."I was at in the school parking lot. I was about to head home when all of a sudden these tough looking guys, and looked like they were a bit older than us, I think they might have been college guys.
They all surrounded me and blocked me from getting in my car. This one dude probably about a bit taller than me jerked me by my shirt, and pushed me against my car. He started to threaten me if I didn't answer his questions. Like where's Zayn, why hasn't he called, and something about Zayn owes him.
I didn't know what he was talking about, so he started punching me in the face. I slammed him on the ground, and pinned him down. The other dudes pulled me off and they all jumped me. Luckily I was strong enough to get some of them off, but the other half started chasing me.
I ran all the way from school to get away from them, but I couldn't run all the way home. The first person in my head was Louis so I decided to run to his house, but then I realized that he had a date tonight. So they continued to chase me and that's when I saw your house.
"Oh my god. You ran all the way here!?"
"Yeah, and I left my car at school." He said as he put the ice pack down on the table.
"How many guys were there, and what did they want from you?" I asked as I wrapped myself with a blanket.
"6 of them, and they all were looking for Zayn. I have never even seen any of them before!"
"Zayn must be in some serious trouble."
"Yeah."
"So do you want me to call the cops, or maybe your parents they're probably really worried about you." I said as I grab the my phone off the table.
Liam takes the phone out of my hand and shakes his head."No. You can't call anyone."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want want my parents to know I'm this type of person, they'll ground me for life!"
"But you need to tell someone about this! You can't just let people worry!"
He furrowed his brows and stares at me."And I see that you still never told anyone that you got beat up everyday!"
I feel anger rising up."MAYBE IF I HAD A FRIEND BY MY SIDE I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS MUCH PAIN..."
"Harry I..."
"No your not. All you cared about was yourself, we could have got through it together, but you left me so you could just go join Zayn. The one who beat us up everyday, and that proves that you don't give a damn about me."
"Harry I do care about you.."
"THEN WHY DID YOU STAND THERE AND WATCH ME GET BEAT TO DEATH FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS!!? I screamed.
He hesitated and tears streamed down his face."I was..afraid...if..I tried to help you he would have probably hit me too."
"Oh so you were thinking only about yourself now weren't you!?" I said sternly.
"Yeah." He said sadly.
"Look at me Liam..Zayn did this to me...and you took his side. I went through so much pain and suffering that I even did self harm." I said before I pulled the blanket off of me to show him my cuts.
He looked at my arms and stared at them. He rubbed over the cut and removed his hands, and the next thing I knew he was pulling me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Harry! I should have never left you. I was suppose to be your best friend, but best friends don't turn their backs each other. I promise I will never leave you again, and I mean it!"
I smiled and wiped my remaining tears off of my face."Are you serious?"
Liam nodded and smiled."Absolutely."
"Thank you Liam. I really did miss you."
"I missed you too, maybe a bit more actually." He exclaimed as he slightly punch my shoulder.
"Aww..I really forgot about how caring you always were."
"Yeah I still am. And I missed that sense of charm you have."
I laid down and threw the blanket on top of me as I have his a reassuring smile."And those dimples! I haven't seen them in years!" He said poking them.
He moves away and takes of his coat."Can I wash up real quick? Because I can't go home like this, and my mum will definitely freak out."
"Yeah, just go upstairs and make a left, it's the first door on your right."
He starts to walk towards the stairs, but stops."Thanks mate. Now you know what I don't miss about you?"He said with a smirk on his face?"
"What?"
"Those terrible knock knock jokes of yours!"
I gasped."They weren't that bad!"
"Then what did you think was the real reason I left!?" He said before he ran up the stairs.
"Shut up!"
