They met up a few times after that, Harry would visit him after classes with Niall. They would talk and share laughs.

Harry had never been happier. Until Monday came, Harry and Niall went to the bar again and blue wasn't there.

He was, but he'd always be too busy to talk to him, he would be in his own little world, say hi to Harry and leave.

Harry thought it was just a busy day today so he waited but when the night came, the lights turned red.

He couldn't believe it, but at the same time blue didn't cheat they weren't even a thing, it was just flirting he didn't think blue would do that.

A crowd surrounded a sofa at a far end, god please don't tell me this happening. He wanted to check but moaning sounds could be heard.

Blue's.

Tears brimmed at the corner of his eyes, then again, why was he crying this was just a flirting thing, it wasn't serious. But if it wasn't serious why did this hurt so much.

He was stuck rooted to the ground he couldn't move.

Niall, he was in the bathroom.

When he came out he saw the lights, they were red. Fuck. He ran, fast. To where Harry is and quickly rush him outta there, he could see tears slipping from his eyes.

Niall is killing blue. Harry still tries to stay strong, Niall would try comforting him, he even bought him chocolates and candy but Harry would say he didn't need it but Niall could tell he was heartbroken.

When they were home Harry immediately went to his room he wrapped a blanket around himself and cried. He needed to, he had to let it out, so he cried a lot. He tried crying softly so Niall couldn't hear him.

But Niall was sitting outside on the floor, the back of his head was resting on the door. He sighed knowing Harry would be too stubborn to ask for help.

He heard a few sobs from Harry, he felt hopeless like he couldn't do anything about it.

Niall had to do something he couldn't let this go on, he got up and drove himself to the bar, he was gonna kill that son of a bitch.

He reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, blue reeked of it.

"Hey man!" He shouted to Niall with a grin, his hair was messed up and he was stumbling as he walked.

"Fuck you" He spat at the high drunk, "What the fuck did you do? why did you hurt him like that?! you knew he liked you and you did it in front of him! Why? why did you do it? i know for a fact that you liked him too—you didn't even hook up with anyone when you met him and now, he's crying cause of you. You better start talking Tomlinson or i'm gonna fucking beat the shit outta you—i don't care who you are, he means so much to me and you hurt him. I will kill anyone who hurts him" Niall glared at him.

He couldn't believe he would hurt him, he knows he likes Harry, it was so obvious. What happened?

Blue's eyes soften, "w-what?"

Niall didn't speak, he just glared at him waiting for him to answer. "i-is he um, okay?"

"Of course not you fucking ass! you ignored him all night, i tried to get him outta here but he believed you! he wanted to stay with you! do you understand that? he waited. For five fucking hours. And you ignored him, then fucked someone in front of him!" He yelled, the bar had emptied just now, there was only a few people in there.

"I-i'm so sorry, i didn't want to hurt him—i was just scared, i was so scared" Tears slipped from Blue's eyes, this was the first time Niall had seen him cry.

"Then fix it" he stepped towards him.

"I-i can't do that" he mumbled looking down.

"And why the fuck not?"

"I—it's complicated" Blue shook his head, shutting his eyes.

"You better fix this, i'm not going to have Ha-him crying in his room, he does not deserve it"

"Niall, i can't" it was like that was the last straw he hated how pathetic blue is.

He doesn't even remember what he was doing all he knows was the next thing he knows was his hand was wrapped around blue's throat. He lifts him up against the wall.

He knows blue was stronger and he could get out of this easily but he didn't fight it, he lets him do it. His grip became tighter, he hated blue right now, he hated how he hurt Harry and there wasn't anything he could do.

"Niall! stop it!" Zayn yelled as he saw what was happening, "He hurt him! he did this!" Grip getting tighter, he could almost feel blue's life slip away from his fingers.

"Killing him isn't going to solve that!" Zayn yelled at him as he yanked his arm away, which made blue drop to the floor placing his hand around his neck which will definitely bruise up. Coughing as he tries to get oxygen in his system.

Niall's eyes were still dark, glaring at Zayn now. "Look, i know you're pissed because he hurt your best friend, i'm not a huge fan of him either but he has a reason, let him explain if it's shit...i won't stop you from killing him"

Niall cracked a smile, "I-i need to get outta here, i can't be near this dick anymore" he spat out the last sentence.

Before he walked out he turned to Zayn before saying, "say hi to Lima for me, i miss him"

"Sure, he misses you too" Zayn smiled at the thought of Liam.

He was probably wrapped up in the pink blanket Zayn had gotten him for his birthday, ugh he's so cute.

Niall left, Zayn turned to a sad looking Blue. When was my life so fucking complicated. All i want is to be with Liam.

He sighed because helping blue up, "i didn't want to hurt him, j-just wanted to protect him" blue mumbled looking at Zayn with broken eyes.

"Yeah, i know" Zayn smiled at little as he helped him to sit on a stool, "i'll get you some water"

"D-do you think he'd forgive me?" he looked up at Zayn sadly.

He sighed, he wasn't really good with handling sad people, this was Liam's thing.

"I'm sure he will, explain everything to him, the truth"

Blue played with his nails, picking at them.

"I don't want them to hurt him" Blue whispered.

"They won't, you will protect him" Zayn smiled softly placing the water on the table in front of him as he sits next to him.

"W-what if they get to him" His voice cracked, fear was scribbled on his face.

"Avoiding him wouldn't help"

"I...i know but, if they think he isn't close to me they wouldn't hurt him"'Blue reasoned.

"Bubs, they spotted you with him, no matter how much you avoid him now, they know you know him"

"Fuck—i hate that you're right" blue took a sip of his water.

"Now all you have to do is tell him the truth—whatever he thinks afterwards is up to him, but we both know that you have to protect him" Zayn spoke.

Blue nodded knowing Zayn was right, he was always right. "Thanks zee" he smiled a little.

Zayn patted his back a little before standing up, "I'm gonna go home now alright? you drive safe"

"Mmkay, see you tomorrow zee"
