There may be a small chance of trigger in this chapter... it doesn't go into detail but talks about self harm.
If you don't wanna read I'll put a warning just before the little section that mentions it.
Harry's POV
My eyes shot open and I sat bolt upright in bed, breathing heavily. I looked around confused. What had woken me up? Then I heard it.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Soft taps on my door.
""Come in...?" I said cautiously.
Niall's bruised face peeked around the corner.
"H-Harry?" He bit his lip, looking adorable with his hair all mussed up and cheeks flushed pink.
I mean that in a friendly way.
Of course.
"Yes Niall?"
"C-can I... I mean... " he seemed flustered, the pink dusting his cheeks slowly getting darker. "I-I'm sorry, I... I'll go... Sorry for disturbing you!"
He turned to leave when I spoke up.
"Of course you can come in!"
He spun back around. "What?"
"You can sleep here if you like." I smiled.
"How did you-"
"I studied psychology and body language. I can read you really easily." I chuckled.
He crawled next to me in the bed, blue eyes looking curious.
"Can you?"
"Yep."
"What can you "read" about me right now then?"
I squinted at him in the dim light.
"I can tell you... you feel nervous and uncomfortable right now. You also seem betrayed and vulnerable... Has someone close to your heart let you down or... hurt you?"
"L-Luke..."
My eyes latched onto his, staying there.
"He your boyfriend?"
"M-My ex... yeah..."
"He did this to you?"
"Yeah..." he broke my gaze, fiddling with his thumbs.
And then it all came out.
(Trigger warning... skip if you want to.)
The years of abuse that Niall had to put up with.
Hiding the bruises, covering up the cuts, concealing his hurt.
The words and fists hurled his way for small, insignificant reasons.
The sea of tears he cried every night.
The flames that he had held to his wrist.
The burnt and shiny skin on his arms.
I found tears falling down my own cheeks.
"Niall..." I said softly and held him close as he shook, sobs escaping his lips.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He kept whispering over and over again.
I lifted the twisted, shiny, puckered skin to my lips and kissed every last burn on his arms.
(Keep reading now :) )
His eyes followed my movements a soft sigh escaping his lips.
Shortly afterwards his eyes fell shut and he fell asleep.
I sighed, wiping my eyes, heart heavy in my chest.
******************
"HARRY!" A voice screeched. I groaned, opening my eyes.
Niall was bolt upright a frightened look on his face.
"HARRY WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU'RE LOOKING AFTER ALEX TODAY!"
My mouth dropped open. Holy...
"Harry?!"
my door swung open and Zayn stood framed in the doorway.
"Uncie Haz!" Squealed Alex, jumping onto my bed and cuddling me.
Zayn just stared at Niall.
Niall just stared right back.
Awkward...
Silence settled for a whole of ten seconds before Alex spoke up, voicing what Zayn had (probably) been thinking.
"Uncie Haz? Why is thewe a man in your bed?"
