Falling (H.S. X L.T.)

Chapter Four

Harry's Pov
After me and Louis had parted ways at school, I went off in search for Niall. He was pretty drunk last night so I hope he got home ok.

After walking around the halls for a few minutes, I found Niall, Liam, and Zayn hanging out by Niall's locker, Niall looked hungover, and Liam and Zayn seemed to be amused by it.

"Hey guys." I greeted, standing beside Niall.

He just gave me a nod and leaned back against the locker. I had been feeling pretty ok even though I had been hungover, the shower and food really helped. Niall on the other hand didn't look too good.

"Hangover?" I asked Liam, he simply nodded and we both held back a little bit of laughter.

We all talked for a few minutes, mostly about the party, apart from Niall who was leaning against the lockers with his eyes closed.

Minutes later the bell rang and we all heard Niall groan, he covered his ears and cringed at the sound.

We all bursted out laughing, to which Niall flipped us off and walked off to class. Me Zayn and Liam parted ways, and I followed after Niall to first period.

Once inside the classroom, I sat down in the same seat as yesterday, the blonde girl from the party was sitting in the same spot, beside me, as yesterday too. She gave me a look, it seemed like she wanted to say something.

"Be careful today Harry." She turned and warned me while giving me a sympathetic look.

I screwed my face up in confusion.

"What? What do you mean, why?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow.

"Look, I can't talk now, just...be careful." She urged, then turned back around in her seat, facing the front.

Just then the guys from yesterday, the ones in the hallway that Louis warned me about, walked into the room.

Me and the one that was first to walk in made eye contact, and he gave me a glare, but then a smirk crossed his features, and he went to go sit down in his own chair, which happened to be right on the other side of the blonde girl.

"Hey Taylor." The guy said, talking to the girl beside me. So Taylor was her name.

"Hey.." She replied, glancing at me through the corner of her eye.

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the guy put his hand on Taylor's thigh, so I'm guessing it was her boyfriend. Oh no. That's probably why he glared at me, he knows about the party.

Taylor instantly looked uncomfortable, pushing his hand off, he didn't stop there though, he leaned over and whispered in here ear,

"I'm gonna fuck you so hard tonight baby." He said it loud enough for me to hear, I'm guessing he thought that I actually liked her and wanted to make me mad or jealous, but I didn't actually like her so it didn't really bother me, other than the fact she was obviously uncomfortable.

"Can't you tell that you're making her uncomfortable?" I asked, not loud enough for anyone to look over, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Oh fuck off, my relationship is none of your business anyway." He grumbled.

"Well if you're making your girlfriend uncomfortable, I think it should be someone elses business to stop it." I replied in a heartbeat, I didn't like Taylor as anything more than an acquaintance, but he should still respect her boundaries.

"It's ok, Harry. Thank you." Taylor said quietly, giving me a small smile and nervous glance.

"Yeah Harry, it's fine, besides, shes my girlfriend so I can touch her if I want." The guy said, grabbing her leg again. She still looked uncomfortable, but she didn't try to push him away this time.

"Just because you're her boyfriend doesn't mean you have free roam, consent is still a thing you know." I said back, honestly getting worried that this Taylor girl was in a bad relationship.

Before the guy could respond, the teacher clapped his hands to get everyone's attention, signalling the start of class. The guy just glared at me and turned to the front of the room.

After first and second period ended, I was walking down to the cafeteria, that is until someone grabbed me by the arm and yanked me harshly into a bathroom. It wasn't one with multiple stalls, it was one of the private ones that was basically a toilet and sink in the open, with a lock on the actual entrance. I ripped my arm out of the grasp of this person and looked up at them.

Fuck.

It was the guy from earlier, he had one other person in here with him standing in the corner, that's how I knew this wasn't going to end well.

Without warning, the guy who had been standing in the corner, pulled me against his chest and put me into a headlock, his arm against my neck. I gasped out of shock and instinctively grabbed his arm, trying to pry it from around my head, his other arm was wrapped near my waist, his hand against my stomach to keep me from moving too much.

After I realized I wasn't going to get out of his grip. I looked up at the guy who I had been arguing with earlier in first period, he had that same smirk on his face as he walked closer to me, I tried to back away, but the other guy just tightened his grip on me, making a small noise of discomfort escape my mouth.

Without wasting anytime, the other guy quickly hauled his fist back and punched me in the jaw, and then in the mouth.

I let out yelp of pain each time his fist connected with my face, squirming more in the other guys grip.

"Stop fucking interfering in my relationship, its none of your damn business." He growled, he grabbed me by my shirt and yanked me forward, out of the other guys grip. I stumbled into him, quicky putting my hands on his shoulders and trying to push him back.

He just clutched my shirt tighter and got into my face.

"I know she tried to fuck you at that party, I know you guys kissed a bunch too. Listen to me, you stay the fuck away from my girlfriend, fuck hole." He sneered in my face.

He shoved me back into the wall, I hissed in pain as my back hit it, before I even had time to recover, he sent a punch right into my stomach, making me gasp in pain and start coughing. Him and the other guy left the bathroom, and I leaned down, putting my hands on my knees and trying to catch my breath before leaving.

I arrived to lunch after everyone else, sitting down at the table with Louis, Niall, Liam, and Zayn. They seemed caught up in their own conversation so they just nodded at me, which I was glad about, I didn't want them to be able to see I just got beat up.

My lip had a small cut on it and one side of my jaw was red, so I tried to keep my head down so none of them would notice. Louis however, kept trying to get my attention, he would lightly kick me under the table until I looked at him, but when I did I would just give him a small smile, trying to seem as normal as possible.

I wasn't eating, I lost my appetite when that guy punched me in the stomach. It was still aching slightly.

I felt Louis kick me under the table again, and before I got the chance to smile and look away, he mouthed something along the lines of 'we need to talk' and then he kept staring into my eyes. I quickly moved my gaze around the cafeteria, not wanting to look at him.

At least he didn't put me on the spot and say something in front of my Niall and everyone else.

I could just leave the cafeteria really quick and Louis wouldn't get the chance to question me about everything, but we did have the next class together, so that might not work, I could still try though.
