''What do you mean?''

''Like I said, Lou. They gave me to him, only because they needed money.'' Tears are dripping down his cheeks as he stares outside, no emotion to see on his face.

''Harry-''

''It's okay, Lou. It's not like they were the best parents.'' I have no more words to say, I just engulfed him in a hug and let him cry on my shoulder.

This wasn't really the way I imagined meeting Harry in person, but at least I got to. And now that he is here, I won't let him go. Not to that 'boyfriend', of his. Never in his wildest dreams.

''Harry, I won't let you go back there.'' I say.

''No, I-'' I quickly cut him off.

''Harry, he hurts you.''

''But, if I don't go back he will hurt my family.'' He cries, gripping a fist full of my shirt. ''You don't, and won't ever, understand.''

''Let me understand.''

''My family just sold me to this stupid rich family for money and if I ever would 'escape', they would hurt my family.''

''But, if they sold you off...'' I cringe while saying this. ''Why would you even care about them?''

''Because they're my family!''

''Hey, calm down... It's alright.'' I try to calm him down, which works. ''Why didn't you go to the police?''

''Because that would only bring more problems! Besides, I don't have proof!''

''What if you film it?'' I suggest.

''Lou...'' He whispers. ''Why would you even care?'' He asks.

''Because I do, Harry. You're my friend.'' Though I wish he would be more.

''I- I need to get back.'' He says and wipes away his tears. He puts down the glass of now cold tea and stands up. We starts to walk away, but I grab his wrist, the flinch not going unnoticed.

''Harry, no. Just stay here until we find a solution.'' I plead. I could see he was thinking about it, having a whole battle inside of his pretty head. He sighs and sits back down beside me on the couch.

''Okay.'' He whispers.

''It's gonna be alright, okay?'' I comfort him. He nods and I lie him down on my chest, running my fingers up and down his clothed back.

''Thank you, Lou.''

''No problem, love.''
