This is fiction. So I will do a few changes about paralysis in this universe.
--&--
A knock on the door makes Harry look up from his phone. He was scrolling through Instagram while lying in bed. What else was he supposed to do? Explore the city? Yea, sure.
No.
"What?" he asks sounding cold. It's very rare for him to have emotions in his voice or on his face since the accident.
The door opens and his mum, Anne, enters followed by another woman. Harry sits up.
"Hey, darling. This is Johanna Deakin." Anne starts explaining. "She is an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist and she just wants to get to know you today. She'll stop by once a week for an hour."
Harry groans and falls backwards so he is lying on his back again. "Why?! I don't need that! Why would I? I will never be able to walk again so why therapy?" he asks annoyed.
The unknown woman, an omega, steps forward. "Hi Harry." she greets him but gets no respons. He doesn't even look her way. "I'm here to help you figure all of this out. You haven't been handicapped for long and I'm just here to help. And there is a chance of you getting your ability to walk back. It just takes training and patience. I'm not informed about what happened and what exactly causes you to be paralyzed, but if you give me permission I would love to read your report."
Harry closes his eyes for a moment before he opens them again. "No, you do not get my permission." he says coldly.
"Harry!" Anne exclaims shocked. She was sure he would agree. Not even she knows about his situation. Harry didn't want her to read the report as well. He was 18 after all and decided not to let his mother know.
So Harry is the only one who exactly knows what is wrong and if there is a chance for healing.
"Now I would appreciate you leaving me alone. I have still things to prepare for school." he says and after a bit of hesitation the two omegas leave.
Harry sits back up and leans over his bed to pull his wheelchair towards him. He takes his left leg first and places it over the edge of the bed and then his right leg. After that he put in the breaks of his wheelchair. He puts both his hands on the arm rests of the wheelchair and pushes his body up. Harry tries to turn his upper body, but his right hand slips and he falls onto the floor.
He growls annoyed and hits the wheel of the chair. Harry hates this. He hates this helplessness. He hates that he can't do basic shit like getting out of bed.
How he wishes he was in his dad's place.

"Please Harry, try to be nice. I know you built up walls, but you are such an amazing young alpha. Don't let what happen change you." Anne says as she drives Harry to school.
Sadly Harry can't escape right now so he keeps quiet and just watches the houses they pass by. The drive isn't long anyways so rather quickly his mum stops in front of the school. She gets out of the car to get Harry's wheelchair from the back and pushes it to her son.
Harry quickly moves to get in the thing to get away from his mother and luckily this time he doesn't embaress himself by slipping or anything.
"I love you, Harry." Anne says as the alpha starts to move away.
Harry stops and turns his head to face her. His eyes are void of any emotions as he speaks his next words.
"I don't know why. I would hate me if I were you. I killed your mate after all."
Harry leaves his shocked mother behind as he pushes himself into the school building to meet with the counselor.
-
"That would be all, Mister Styles." the counselor, whoms name Harry already forgot, says. "We have a student wait for you to show you to your locker and then to your classes. You have the same shedule as him so you have someone to approach if any questions come up."
The man stands up and opens the door for Harry. The paralysed student rolls out of the room spotting an alpha across from the door right away. The strangers brown eyes are wide in surprise as he stares at Harry's wheelchair.
"Ah, good." Counselor says. "You're already here. Thank you for showing him around." With this Counselor walks back in his office.
Harry scoffs. That man is probably glad to not have to deal with him anymore.
"Hey mate, I'm Zayn. Nice to meet you." the alpha claims holding out a hand for Harry to shake.
Harry does not shake the offered hand.
"Harry. Where is my locker?" he asks coldly.
Harry has the plan to not make friends. Most of them probably would wanna be his friends out of pity and Harry doesn't need that. And he doesn't deserve friends anyways. His old ones left him after they came to know that he is paralyzed now so who needs them anyways?
"Uhm, right this way." Zayn says a bit taken aback by the rude demeanor of this guy.
-
It's lunch break and so far Harry managed to ignore the stares, the whispers and the pity. But now, entering the huge dining hall he can't stop from groaning.
It appears the whole school is in here and someone announced Harry's arrival because every single eye is on him. And Harry hates it.
The alpha lets out a low growl. Every omega immediately looks down, even a few alphas. If he want's Harry can be intimidating.
"Hey, Harry." someone says from Harry's left.
The addressed alpha turns his head to glare at the person, but he just rolls his eyes as realises it's just Zayn.
In the few hours he's been here he learned a few things about Zayn. He isn't a talker, but he is fucking stubborn. So he stayed with Harry every minute so far, even when the green eyed alpha had to pee. Zayn was even that weird to ask how it works, but after Harry's eyes turned red and he growled threateningly that he will rip out the other's knot if he doesn't leave him alone, he left.
"What?" he asks already annoyed. At least he acts annoyed.
"I thought you maybe wanna join me and my mates for lunch." Zayn says smiling.
That's another thing. He seems to be always happy. Harry doesn't remember how that feels.
"Well, you thought wrong, Zack." Harry says, getting the name wrong on purpose.
"Okay, then good luck finding somewhere to sit after what you just pulled, Harriet." Zayn retors with a shrug and turns around.
A quick look around tells him Zayn is probably right. So Harry sighs and follows the alpha.
Harry can practically see Zayn's smile and he can't stop a teeny tiny smile to appear on his face as well.

"Calm down, it wasn't directed at you." the brown haired beta tries to comfort the shaking omega.
"It was. I stared too." the omega admits quietly.
The beta is pushed away and a familiar scent fills the small one's nose. He is pulled in a hug and it relaxes him a bit.
"You are alright Lou. He didn't direct it at you personally, everyone stared, not just you." the alpha soothes while rubbing his hand up and down the omegas back.
Louis breathing calms down after a bit and he pushes the alpha away. A sheepish look on his face while he blushes. "Sorry for overreacting." he apologizes to his friends around the table. "And thanks for helping me, Shawn. Again." he scratches the back of his neck as Shawn ruffles his hair before moving back to his usual seat.
"You didn't overreact, Louis." the beta next to him states. "His growl was close to his alpha voice. Every omega reacted similar to you."
"But my reaction was the worst." Louis claims quietly, looking down at his food.
The table keeps quiet, because they all know Louis won't change his mind anyway. He is a stubborn one.
The omega doesn't eat, he just plays with the food while thinking about things he doesn't want to think about. For example how scared he is for his next class. Social Dynamics. Because he has to work with an alpha and well... he doesn't have had the best experience with those.
Louis looks up as he feels a continues stare at him. His eyes immediately meet green eyes across the room. The blue eyed boy's breath hitches as his eyes grow wide. But he is quick to look back down on his food, cheeks heating up as he gets a funny feeling in his tummy.
Why did the new alpha stare at him? Did he do something wrong? Louis hopes he didn't anger the male because he looked him right in the eyes. A lot of alphas don't like that and a lot of alphas are short tempered.
