"Morning Harry!" Anne said as she opened the curtains in his bedroom. It was 7am and time to get up for school.Harry grumbled and hid his head under his duvet.
"Come on sleepy head." She tried pulling the duvet down, but he had a tight grip on it.
"Don't mess about now. You don't want to be late for school." She tried again.
No luck. "I'm going to get your breakfast ready. Make sure you get up now.
She left the room, the door open, and went down to the kitchen.
Harry sighed, turned over and went back to sleep.
Ten minutes later, after shouting up the stairs countless times, and even Gemma coming in and prodding him, Anne went back to his room.
"Harry? Come on love. Up you get."
Harry turned over again.
"What is it? Why aren't you getting up."
"F-Feel sick." He said, quietly.
"Sick? Why didn't you tell me?" She pulled his duvet down and felt his forehead.
"You feel a bit warm."
Of course he felt warm, he's had his head under his duvet for the last ten minutes.
"Maybe you should stay home." He nodded and closed his eyes. Happy that his Mum believed his lie.
The same thing happened for the next two days.
Anne didn't know whether to be worried or suspicious about Harry's aparent sickness.
It was only on the Friday morning, when she said she'd make a Doctors appointment, that Harry broke down and told her the truth.
"I..I'm scared." He told her, as they cuddled up on his bed.
"Of what."
"S-Schhool."
"Tell me why?"
"Kids h-hurt me. Laugh a-at me. Wan stay wiv you." He burst into tears, clinging on to Anne's blouse tightly.
"They hurt you? Why didn't you tell me?"
Harry sniffed.
"I...I did. They pushed m-me at lunch."
Anne sighed. "Is that the only time?"
Harry nodded.
"Oh Harry. It happened once. Doesn't mean it will happen again. Now...are you really poorly?"
He shook his head. "S-Sorry." He wiped a tear trickling down his cheek.
Anne hugged him. "Monday I want you back in school. You can't get too far behind in your lessons. Everything will be fine." She reassured him.

Louis kept telling Harry that nobody would hurt him at school. Harry always believed Louis, so when Monday came around, he walked into school with his best friend and Gemma.
"Harry!" Niall came running over and hugged him. "God it was awful without you last week. I had to sit next to Lewis, he never shuts up."
Harry smiled.

School was ok. Harry had no trouble from anyone, and it stayed like that for the rest of the year.
It was Louis' 14th birthday today, and all his best friends were at his house for a small party.
Though Louis thought he was too old for sleepovers, that's what he was having.
