Shield (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 4

*Seven years later*

*Harry's POV*

You ever just wake up feeling like absolute shit? Or, in my case, worse than shit? Below the shit scale? Well congratulations you know how I'm feeling right now. And I have to be ready for school in ten minutes. I just threw on some random clothes and don't even bother to look in the mirror. I'm too afraid of what I would see.

Once at school, I got my crap out of my locker, and went straight to the other locker I go to everyday.

Do you ever have that one friend that looks good everyday and you have no idea how they do it? Once again, you know how I feel. He turned to look at me and he backed up a little bit and his bright blue eyes widened.

"Yah, yah I know. I look like I just woke up from the dead. Save the criticism pretty boy." He opened his mouth, closed it, opened it back up, and said" I was just gonna say you should probably zip up your fly in case someone suspects you've been wanking in the toilets but..." he shrugged and turned back to his locker. I looked down and groaned at my wide open fly. You could even tell what color boxers I was wearing. UGH why didn't mum say anything!? Actually...I wish she would speak to me at all these days...

Pulling myself away from those thoughts I pulled it up, and walked off to first period while Louis walked to his. I hated it when I would come to school feeling like rubbish and he looked perfect. Nice, showy outfit, soft, brown hair, TOMS, and cheeky smile. How did he NOT have a girlfriend by now?!

At lunch we sat in our usual spot, with our other two friends Liam and Zayn. Later we were joined by Perrie, Zayns pretty girlfriend with big round eyes and platinum blond hair. Zayn and Perrie were pretty much the most popular couple in school. Even if they weren't dating, Zayn himself was pretty popular. Being a jock and all. Most of the girls here were whipped by his blond streak in his black hair and brown eyes, surrounded by long dark lashes and a tan complexion. Liam, on the other hand, was the smartest and most responsible out of all of us but don't mistake him for having a dark side. I would never suggest giving Liam a reason to have to pound on you. It was rare for him to get angry at someone, but when he did, I was scared for my life. But any other time he was very polite and sweet and an amazing friend. He had adorable chocolate brown eyes, chocolate brown hair, fair skin, and an incredible smile.

My friends were great. I was lucky to have them, especially Louis, but every day was the same. I wake up, come to school, have a laugh, occasionally hang out on weekends but that's it. I dreaded coming to this school every day. The people are so rude and have an IQ of five and don't give a crap about people's feelings. The teacher's bore me like crazy and I get in trouble for the stupidest things. My grades suck, and the only thing keeping me mentally alive is Louis. We do absolutely everything together and I love it...but...when the fun is over I look back and always think my life could be so much better. Of course home isn't my cup of Yorkshire tea either. Me and my mum use to be so close and now that's all gone. Protective mama bear that never touches her baby Harold has now turned into'I'm gonna drink and bring home different men and not give a rat's ass about my son's feelings'. It hurts. Like a LOT. Knowing what use to help me through everything won't even look me in the eye anymore. What have I done? Why does she not like me anymore? Whenever I ask she just brushes it aside and promises she'll be better. An overwhelming amount of anger always fills me because I know she's lying. And, even after seven years, Louis can still make the pain go away. I just wished there was no pain in the first place.
