His Only Angel [h.s.]

Chapter 16

Thea Parker

Taking a deep breath I look up at the chandelier above my head, the only source of light in the room since the blinds were closed.

I haven't moved since I slid down the wall. I've stayed on the cold ground, thinking about what just happened.

It's been hours since Harry stormed out the room but I still haven't had the strength to get up.

My mind didn't know what to think or do at this point...Should I be concerned?

I sigh and pull my knees up to my chest and started to pull the loose sting on my sweater. I've tried really hard not to think of my father but he kept coming to mind.

The way Harry yelled at me and pinned me to the wall reminded me of something my dad would do when he was drunk or angry.

Groaning I try to shake the bad thought out my head.

I continue to pull at the loose string until I hear the door open.

Looking up I see Louis followed by Niall, Liam, and Zayn. All of them had a sympathetic look on their faces as they sat in front of me on the floor.

"H-Hi." I whisper shyly.

"Hello darling." Louis smiles softly.

Suddenly he places his hand on my shoulder making my eyes widen.

"Thea," He starts, "Harry told us what he did." I whimper.

"I'm s-sorry but I don't wanna talk about it."

"Well that's not an option because you can't keep this all inside." Liam crosses his arms and gives me a stern look.

I roll my eyes in annoyance and look up at the ceiling.

"Roll them again darling." Liam snaps making me face him again.

"I'm sorry."

We all sit in silence not really knowing what to say. The only sound heard was bodies shifting and our steady breathing. They knew it was awkward and so did I but what can I possibly say to make things better?

Nothing.

Although I had to tell them something or things will just get even my uncomfortable.

Sighing loudly I decide to tell them what was swirling around in my brain.

"H-Harry reminded me of my father when he got angry." I say and all of their eyes widen in panic.

"What do you mean?" Louis asks.

I look away from his eyes, "When I was growing up my f-father used to..." I was getting chocked up.

"Take you time princess." Niall smiles.

Nodding I continue, "H-He used to beat me daily and ever since Harry left I've been thinking if he was just like him."

"Oh love, don't ever think like that."

"But I can't help it, Harry never acted like that before...With me." My voice cracks at the end.

"He's dealing with so much right now Thea, but I know he didn't mean any of it." I laugh dryly.

"Then where is he?"

"You know damn well that you don't want him here and he knows too." Niall scoffs.

"He's doing some work down at the bottom level so you won't see him around." Zayn butts in.

"When will he be back?"
