One Way Or Another - Larry Stylinson (Hybrid Harry)

Chapter 8 - Louis POV

Finally a different POV. By the way I just love the above picture - it is amazayn!

I had reached home an hour ago and Harry should have been home half an hour back. I was a bit worried about where he was...okay no... I was actually, absolutely panicked. I was just considering calling Zayn when he called me. "Hey Lou, can you come over."

"Sure mate. Is everythin' alright? Is Harry fine? He is there, right?" I quickly asked.

"Yes, lover boy, Harry is here." He said and I chuckled. Zayn being my best friend, was obviously the first to know about my crush on Harry and so he did tease me about it to no extent. I would have complained but I know that he isn't wrong, I do have a huge crush on Harry. And it is only fair for him to tease me, considering that I completely chewed his ear off with sassiness when he told me about Niall for the first time.

After slipping on my shoes, I made my way to Zayn's place and knocked on the door. Zayn opened the door, and we reached the couch, where Harry sat with a beanie on his head. He looked adorable with the beanie, but something looked odd, though I could place what exactly. Next to Harry was Niall and it seemed as though Harry was nervous as Ni kept rubbing his back. "Hey Haz, Ni," I said and sat in the opposite armchair. Ni responded with a "Hi," while Harry just smiled weakly.

Niall spoke up, "Harry here has something to tell you Lou." Then, nudging Harry he said, "Go on Haz, it'll be alright."

Harry looked doubtful for a minute and then he said, "Louis, umm, so there's no easy way to do this, so I'll just say it." He took a deep breath and said something I would have never imagined in a million years. "I'm a hybrid." He spoke so fast I almost didn't hear him. However, when I comprehended the sentence, my jaw dropped open. My first reaction was shock and then I felt hurt. He told Niall and Zayn before me. I felt betrayed in a way, and I got lost in thoughts forgetting about anyone else in the room.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Harry whimpering and then he said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you Lou, but I have my reasons. Pl-please don't hate me."

I sighed, unsure of how to respond. I wanted to hear his reason as I was sure it would be sensible, but I was still hurt deeply when he didn't trust me but trusted Niall and Zayn. "Haz, it's fookin' impossible for me to hate ya. Can you show me your ears?" I asked, a bit curious as to what colour ears he's have. Would they be brown like Niall's or another colour?

Harry didn't respond but curled a bit into himself. Zayn was the one who spoke, "Umm, Louis, can you see them after his story. It may come as a bit of a shock otherwise." I was startled when Zayn spoke as I had forgotten he was in the room.

I only heard the first sentence and suddenly, I was fuming. Again, Harry didn't trust me to see his ears. I didn't hear Niall's protests or Harry's whimpers as I marched towards Harry and pulled off his beanie with a harsh tug. However, when I saw his bandaged ears and roughly chopped hair, my anger evaporated, and I felt guilty. Harry was curled in a ball whimpering and Niall was trying to calm him down.

I stepped back still shocked at the bandages around his ears, "How? What the hell happened?" No one responded to me. Niall was still rocking Harry back and forth rubbing his back and Zayn had left to get Harry some water. I knew it was my fault Harry was panicking and I was determined to make it right. I crouched in front of him and smiled gently. I took his hand in mine and gently rubbed his palm. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "I was just fookin' jealous that ya told Niall and Zayn your secret before me. I aint angry with you Haz, you're too adorable for someone to be angry at ya. I'm sorry I hurt ya and pulled the beanie off, I was just so fookin' angry at meself for bein' so oblivious. Everyone seemed to know what was happenin' 'xcept me 'f course. I'm sorry Haz and if you don't trust me 'nough to tell me your story now, I-I understand."

I got up to leave, thinking Harry would do better without me. However, I felt something soft and furry wrap around my hand making me stop. Wrapped around my wrist was an off-white-coloured tail. I turned around to see that it was Harry's tail that had stopped me. "Stay." He whispered.

"I know you're upset I didn't tell but listen to my part of the story."

So, he started his story. He told me about how he was kidnapped and turned into a hybrid; he told me about he met Niall and how they escaped their kidnapper's house; he told me about Jeremy; he told me how Jeremy abused him, and he ended with the today's incidents. By the end I was sure I had tear-stained cheeks and red eyes. I felt like a horrible person for hurting him earlier and I felt sorry for him, considering he had to go through so much at such a young age.

I didn't know what to say so I didn't say anything. I simply hugged him tight. A moment later I felt two more pair of arms join the hug and we all stayed like that for a few moments. After we pulled apart, Zayn said, "Now... Harry has told Louis his secret. So why doesn't Louis tell Harry his secret." Harry and Niall turned to me, and Zayn clearly confused. I shook my head and said, "I swear to God, Malik I will get my revenge ya idiot."

Then I sighed and turned to Harry. "Now that Malik here has spilled the beans, I might as well tell ya the trufth. Harry over the past two weeks, we've grown very close. You're sweet, charming, caring and foonny. I loved spending the last few weeks with ya and getting' to know ya. I find it hard to believe anyone would ever hurt ya 'cos you're such a fookin' wonderful person. You may be different Haz; you may be part cat but, in me opinion, it only makes you look fookin' cuter. You're adorable and absolutely sweet, and I've grown to like you more than a mate over the past weeks. So, Harry Styles will you be me boyfriend?"
