Harry's POV (This is happening 8 months after the first one shot titled 50/50.
I looked over and across the school grounds to see Reece being punched by Greg and Ryan. And I couldn't do anything to help him.
Lilo: "What the fuck are you doing watching that faggot for?"
Harry: "Some people have sympathy for those that can't defend themselves. I wouldn't want anything to Do with it. But watching someone get beaten when they can't fight back hurts when you grow up with just your family."
Lilo: "You sound like you had such a bad life. I am so surprised you do what you do knowing what happened."
Hayley: "Yeah, I am not surprised you feel bad for the weak and useless when you use to be that before you became better and normal."
I listened to the bell ring as I hated what I had to be. As everyone started walking to class. I did what I normally do every day, explaining to was a routine now, that I needed to go to the toilet. When in reality, all the teachers knew about what it was I was doing. I walked over to the toilets and then walked in. Waiting a minute to make sure everyone had gone back to class, before running back out. Sprinting over to Reece who was on the ground in tears and in pain. Blood coating his face.
Harry: "Fuck Reece what did they do to you?"
Reece: "Nothing I'm not use to Harry. How have you not been caught out yet? You should be in class."
Harry: "That was the bell for last period. Reece are you sure you are going to be ok?"
Reece: "I'm fine, we both have History now, get back before you get in trouble. I'll be there soon."
Harry: "I can't leave you here like this mate. Come on I'm helping you this time."
Reece: "Harry fuck off and go to class."
I watched him spit out the blood in his mouth onto the ground. A deep red patch of liquid now sitting in a small puddle on the ground. I've noticed it around, small patches of blood that had been dried into the concrete. It was hard to see, kind of like marks all around the school to document when he had been attacked. And it fucking broke my heart seeing him like this.
Harry: "Let me help you."
Reece: "Just go fuck yourself Harry. I don't want your sympathy anymore. It's hard enough not being able to talk to you in school. Let alone not wanting to hug you outside of it. Can you please just leave me the fuck alone. I'm fucking done. I can handle this last two months by myself."
I watched him pick himself up slowly, and almost fall back onto the ground, screaming in pain.
Harry: "Nah fuck this. I don't care anymore Reece I'm helping you get to class."
Reece: "They will hurt you."
Harry: "And I don't care. None of them know who I am, Still even to this day. If we keep it that way, I can have fun and enjoy myself."
Reece: "You can do that without me."
I leaned down and picked him up, His small and frail body being nothing for me to carry.
Reece: "Fuck, Put me down I'm fine."
Harry: "You just screamed out in pain from just trying to get yourself to your knees. I am not putting you down."
Reece: "I don't want you to get hurt either."
Harry: "You don't have to worry about me."
Reece: "But I do. Every single day I do."
Harry: "Josh said you liked me."
Reece: "Josh likes everyone and thinks that we are all one big happy family."
Harry: "Aren't we?"
Reece: "No because I don't want to be apart of your family. It's yours for a reason."
I looked down at the boy who had since closed his eyes. He was still crying but the blood had started to dry on his lips. I stopped walking after taking him into the toilet. Laying him down against the wall as I pulled a small tea towel from my bag. I ran the cold water and wet the towel before kneeling down and starting to lightly wipe the dried blood from his face and lips. The poor guy was a mess. While I started wiping away the blood, I could feel him trying to push me away or move away from me in some way or form. It hurt a little knowing he wouldn't want my help, I know I can't do anything about it but still. The least I can do is help him out.
Reece: "Just, go away Harry."
Harry: "I'm not leaving you by yourself. You know that."
Reece: "You should though. I'm not worth your time just fuck off back to class and leave me alone. I'll fucking message Tobi or something if I can't get up."
Harry: "But I'm already here."
Reece: "And I don't care. Can you please just leave me alone? I'll find one of the other boys to talk to."
Harry: "As far as I know they are all out recording a football video."
Reece: "And you are here stuck at school. How sad. Now go to class before you get into trouble."
Harry: "Reece please."
Reece: "Leave me alone. Go back to your friends Harry."
I finished wiping the blood from his face and tried to wash the blood from his hair but he pushed me away.
Harry: "There is blood in your hair."
Reece: "I'll get it out myself."
I watched him as he stared at me intently. Trying to make me feel bad but I didn't want to leave him.
Reece: "Leave. Harold."
Harry: "Ok, Ok I'll go."
I stood up and was watching him in pain, he looked so defeated and broken and I couldn't help him. I nodded once before handing him the towel. Standing up and walking out of the bath room and headed to class. As I walked in, the teacher looked at me angrily. But I rolled my eyes and sat down.
Miss Raines: "Attitude like that will net you a detention with Mr Valeries this afternoon Harry."
Harry: "I don't fucking care. You people say that every single day and yet nothing has happened. And who the fuck cares about that piece of shit anyway. He isn't worth my time apparently."
I watched as the teachers expression changed from anger to sadness before putting my head on the table. I have been here for 8 fucking months, and yet I can't even get him out of my head. And the teachers fucking knew it to. He is so small and I feel like I need to protect him, with every fucking fiber in my body. And that Fucking cunt stole him from me, even when he knew how I felt.
Reece's POV
I sat on the floor after having to demand Harry exit the building. I felt bad, I knew he liked me but I wanted nothing to do with him. If he liked me, he would try to help me, and not just after everyone attacks me. I felt a small trickle of blood run down the back of my neck. I tried to lift the towel to the back of my neck but I couldn't do it. And apparently I had an after school detention for fighting back. I don't know what ass hole did it. But I knew I had to get out of this school. I slowly and painfully grabbed my phone from my pocket. Unlocked it before noticing a small drop of blood on it. I turned my arm over to notice a thin line of blood running from my shoulder to my finger tips. I flipped my phone upside down and wiped it along my pants before running my finger as well. It was the best I was going to get.
Reece: "I can't stay here. I'm in so much pain, there is blood. Everywhere. There was a drop on my phone from the line leading from my shoulder to my fingers. There is a trickle running down the back of my neck. And my stomach is going to have a tonne of new bruises to coat the old ones. My shirt is literally blood stained, I don't know what to do anymore."
<3: "Baby please don't think like that. I'll come down and pick you up. Please relax and try and make your way to the office. Where the fuck is Harry?"
Reece: "I told him to fucking leave. He does nothing at school except for a minute after the bell has gone, and the entire time all he does is talk to me, he only tried to clean the blood from my face today, but even then I knew why. I have no interest in him or being his friend. I don't care about him at all. If he wanted to help, he would have tried to stop these people from hurting me."
<3: "Baby please let him help. I know you don't like him but you can't be by yourself anymore."
Reece: "Am I ever going to be bruise free? Like will there ever be a moment in my life where I won't be bruised?"
<3: "Love you know that there will be a day where you can be happy. And I promise I will always have my arms around you."
Reece: "I need to try and move. I think I'm just going to leave my bag here, I can't even fucking lift myself. I don't care. I'll just find something else."
<3: "I'm already on my way to the school. I'll be there in ten."
As I finished messaging him. I looked around and lifted my arm up to the sink. As I did, I felt my body flare up, and the heat was insane as I screamed in pain. I can barely move myself without it hurting so fucking badly. I painfully shrugged my bag off my body and left it on the ground. There was no way I would ever be able to lift it up as well. After a few minutes. I finally managed to get myself to my feet, but it hurt so badly. My muscles were aching, my bones felt broken and the fire inside me was raging. And it hurt so much. I hobbled my way outside of the bathroom before almost collapsing on the wall. I was wondering how the fuck I was going to make it to the office. And there were fucking steps as well so I couldn't crawl. Painstakingly, minutes later I finally made it to the stairs just outside the office. I took one look at the stairs and felt myself starting to fall. I sturdied myself on the railing and took one step. Almost screaming but I kept it in, putting pressure on my feet and lifting myself up onto the second step however, that was fucking torture. I applied the pressure needed and screamed before feeling my legs give out, I started falling backwards before being caught.
????: "Oh baby please, I shouldn't have tried to make you walk. I'm so sorry."
As he picked me up, lifting me to his chest, That's when I let the tears fall.
Reece: "It hurts, everywhere."
????: "I know baby, I'm going to take you to the hospital ok? You can't keep doing this. Not anymore."
Reece: "I'm going to get blood on your shirt."
????: "I don't mind, as long as I know you are safe. I don't fucking care ok?"
I watched him tilt my head up slightly before he kissed my forehead. Cradling me close to him.
????: "I'm taking him to the hospital. I don't know when he will be back if at all."
Before I heard any other voices, I got so sleepy. My body felt limp as I closed my eyes, I was so tired.
Time Skip
I woke up again in a bright room, With people talking all around me. I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was my boyfriend there beside me, I tried to smile but I was in so much pain.
????: "Oh thank god you are ok."
Reece: "I was so tired."
Doctor: "You were exhausted, that was the main problem. Everything else is just bruising, the cut to your head we had to disinfect but aside from a bandage because we couldn't use a bandaid on your hair. That was the least of your worries. There is a gauze bandage on your left shoulder but mostly. The pain will subside over the next few days. It is highly recommended that you do not return to school at all."
Reece: "I'm almost finished."
Doctor: "They will kill you. If they have been doing this to you for years as your boyfriend here has been telling us. In good conscious I can't let you go back to school. I've written a doctors recommendation to let you leave school. You won't be able to finish your exams with the students assaulting you the way they do. You can't go back."
I was about to complain before the doctor walked out of the room. I looked over to see Him watching me with tears in his eyes.
????: "You passed out and I was so scared. I didn't think something would happen like that and I got so scared.I'm pretty sure I ran a red light. And I think I was speeding at one point. I just needed to know that you were safe."
Reece: "I'm fine now. What time is it?"
????: "It's tomorrow heh. Uh It's about 10 am. You slept all afternoon and so they decided to keep you in overnight, just so they could check on you and your vitals. But you seem ok so I can take you home when you are easy."
Reece: "Well I'm ok now."
I looked down and noticed I was in a different shirt and pants.
Reece: "Who changed me?"
Ethan: "I did, I knew you wouldn't be comfortable wearing your uniform twice in a row, plus the blood had started to stain and we had to throw them out. There was no way we would be able to get the blood out. It was like you were hacked at, not a few choice cuts and scratches. Reece how the fuck did you put up with them?"
Reece: "I didn't. Whenever I was home, I would just walk in and sit in the shower for an hour and cry. Letting the hot water just run off my body, I was just lucky that my family could afford any water bills we had. They were high but, it was the only time I could let it out."
????: "When we get home, You can do whatever you want baby. Are you hungry at all? We can go grab something easy to eat if you are."
Reece: "Did you upload yesterday?"
????: "Uh, Not really no."
Reece: "We need to get home so you can upload. Come on let's go."
After about twenty minutes of waiting. I was finally let out of the hospital. But not before he took a photo of us leaving. I heard my phone vibrate in my pocket.
Reece: "My phone is fully charged?"
????: "I fully charged it."
I opened up Instagram and noticed the post he made.
Behzingagram: "So happy my baby is ok, Was so scared he had something major but he's ok. Back to regular uploads I promise."
Reece: "You really are insane Ethan."
Ethan: "Maybe so but you know I love you. And everyone was worried about you so I had to let them know what was going on. I know you hate it but I also know you wouldn't let me not give an explanation to why there were no videos."
Reece: "Yeah I get it."
Wroetoshaw: "I'm happy for you guys. Glad to hear he is ok."
Reece: "Well?"
Ethan: "He will live, I think Tobi wants to come over later and check up on you. See if he can find some cream or something to get rid of your bruises for you."
Reece: "Just like last time?"
Ethan: "Just like last time baby."
I watched him lean in, kissing me once before holding my hand, his other arm holding me up. I really love this guy, and I'm so glad I met him.
