CHAPTER ELEVEN

LOUIS

Harry was so nice. And his Dad also.

I smelled on his shirt again.

It smelt so good.

„Mom? I'm back home already! School ended earlier today."

I called for Mom when I opened our front door and looked for Mom.

„Mom?" I again called.

Her car was still in the driveway so she had to be here.

I looked everywhere.

The bathroom door was locked.

„Mom? Are you okay?" I asked, knocking on the door.

I heard a crashing noise. „Oh, Louis! You are here already! Yes, I- I am fine! Wait a second!"

I quietly nodded and went into the kitchen.

„I'm alright." She smiled at me and I immediately knew she wasn't.

She had been crying.

„Are you sure you are? What happened?"

„Nothing bad, don't worry Darling."

I was still worried.

She pulled her long sleeves over her hands and continued smiling at me.

She could stop that I knew she was feeling shit.

„Mom, you can tell me if anything happened you want to talk about."

She shook her head. „No, it's all fine."

„How has your day been so far? It's only 9:30. Was every lesson canceled?" She asked me while taking a nip of her cup of tea.

„Yeah." I lied.

„The teachers were all sick."

Mom wasn't really listening and I knew but she tried concentrating on what I was saying which was nice.

But I knew she had enough problems.

My school was the least problem.

HARRY

„His Dad- Oh no. Again?" Zayn asked me, shocked.

I nodded. „Yes."

„I want to help him, boys. So so bad. But I can't. I fucking can't. I don't know what to do!"

„Go to the police?" Niall suggested.

I shook my head.

„He trusts me I won't tell the police or anyone. I promised him. I have his trust and I won't threw it away that easily again. He knows that you know already and Dad but- no one else."

„Then- I don't know, H. You have to tell someone if you want to help him."
Liam said.

I sighed and ran a hand through my curls.

„I know but as I already said he doesn't want me to. And I promised him I won't tell anyone."

„Then you're fucked, H."

Niall shrugged his shoulders.

I rolled my eyes. „Thanks for the help, Nialler."

„Sure. Anytime." Niall rolled his eyes, trying to be funny but this situation was far away from funny.

Louis Dad was beating Louis and his Mom.

How long was something like that possible to take?

I didn't know and I didn't want to know actually.

But I knew something had to happen.

I couldn't let it happen again.

I had to- I- ARGH! I didn't fucking know!

Maybe Dad knew what to do??!

-

„I'm in the bathroom so no one dare coming in!" Alice announced and I rolled my eyes.

„Won't ever think about it so don't worry." I mumbled, loud enough for her to hear.

„Tss!" She spat and I saw Dad biting his lip hard, not to laugh.

„I will remind you of the last time you came in while I was-" She was about to say and I interrupted her harshly.

„Yeah, okay, stop, I remember it! And I really wish I didn't! No need to remind me of this horrible event!"

She laughed out.

„It was much more horrible for me!"

„Yeah but you weren't the one that was traumazised after!"

„You are so- Aargh! I'm leaving!"

„Yeah. Have fun." I spat back and pocked my tongue at her.

„You are so childish."

„I am allowed to be. I'm not 18 yet. You are over 18."

„I'm not having an argument with you now." Alice spat and I shrugged my shoulders.

„Wasn't planning on it either."

Dad sighed. „Come on, Harry, leave her alone."

I rolled my eyes. „Don't you wanna join her in the shower?!"

The next moment the words left my mouth I choked out an: „Okay, I'll stop."

Disgusting.

Dad looked at me angrily and I bite my lip.

„I'm really sorry, Dad."

He rolled his eyes and made me sit down next to him on the couch.

„Spill it out, H."

I locked at him surprised.

„What?"

„What you want to ask me." He looked at him encourating and I sighed a bit.

„It's- Louis." I mumbled.

„I don't know how to help him. I can't do anything."

Dad shook his head. „You can only be there for him until it's over."

I shook my head. „It won't ever end until his Mom is killing herself because she can't take it anymore!
Or Louis!"

I gulped.

I couldn't let that happen.

No.

I'd do what Dad said: Stand by his side and be there for him.

I would.

I fucking would.

And I would also look for a way out.

There had to be one.

At least I hoped so.
