Harry's Pov.
It was now Friday, the last day of football try-outs. I was walking with the lads down to the field, Niall wanted me to be there when they find out who's on the team. Liam convinced Zayn to come watch too.

"I'm so nervous but so excited at the same time." Niall exclaimed, he was practically jumping out of his skin in excitement.

"Don't have a stroke now." I retorted jokingly. Niall gave my shoulder a shove, glaring at me.

"Stop abusing me." I whined at him, sticking my bottom lip out. Before Niall could say anything I felt someone shove the back side of my shoulder, causing me to stumble forward. It was Ed, he walked past us, laughing to his friends and sending me a glare. I sighed and regained my composure, continuing to walk. All the lads just yelled at Ed calling him an asshole. I looked beside me to find Louis no longer there. I looked up to instead see him walking angrily towards Ed. Well fuck.

"Hey Ed!" I heard him shout, getting closer. Ed turned and gave him a bored look. I started jogging over to them while the rest of the lads stopped to watch.

"The fuck do you want, Tomlinson." Ed spat at Louis. He didn't look too pleased.

"Louis come on, let's just go to try outs." I urged, putting a hand on his arm. He shrugged it iff and walked closer to Ed.

"Stay the fuck away from him, alright? He didn't do shit to you." Louis growled. Ed laughed at this. He didn't even try to speak to Louis, he hauled his fist back, attempting to punch him. Louis was faster though, he ducked under the punch and swept the back of Ed's knee, causing him to fall on his ass. I held in a laugh.

"I'm not getting in a fight with you, that's immature. Just stop being a fucking prick, yeah?" With that said, Louis walked back over to me and then we walked back over to the lads.

"You didn't need to do that." I wasn't a fan of violence. Then again Louis didn't really hurt him, he just knocked him down. Louis shrugged it off, giving me a smile. We all started walking back over to the field, Liam, Niall, and Louis going onto the field and me and Zayn and me sitting on the benches.

We watched everyone for a while, it was probably ten minutes before try-outs were going to end. I had to use the bathroom, so i told Zayn and started heading down to the bathrooms. The ground was muddy and i could feel the water soaking through my shoes, it made me cringe.

I finished my business before walking towards the sink. I washed my hands. I was about to walk out, but as soon as I opened the door I was shoved backwards, hard. I stumbled, trying to regain my balance. I heard someone chuckle, but before i had time to look up at the person the lights were turned off. I heard then shut the door and start walking towards me. I couldn't see shit, so i back up as far as I could, that was until they yanked me forward by my shirt.

I yelped in surprise and put my hands on their shoulders, trying to push them away from me.

"You fucking deserve this." They spat. I recognized his voice. Ed. Before I could say anything I felt a punch land on my left cheek. The surprise made me stumble backwards and fall on my ass.

I felt hands on my back pushing me completely onto the ground, that's when the real pain started. I felt a horrible pain in my ribs as Ed landed kick after kick into me. I tried blocking them with my arms but it didn't help much.

"Please, stop!" I cried out in pain, I tried grabbing his let to stop him, but he kicked me in the nose, causing me to instantly reach up to my face and cradle my nose.
