Harry unlocked the door of the flat, and went inside.

The curtains were opened, so the flat was well illuminated, and Harry was shocked to see the mess in there.

The television in the living room was completely shattered, there was a laptop (Louis') broken on the floor, the coffee table was turned, a standing lamp was broken in half and on the floor, and then he saw Louis' phone, and when he picked it up he noticed the screen was completely shattered.

But there was no one there.

"Lou?" Harry asked, but there was no reply "Louis?".

He went inside the bedroom, and everything seemed normal there, the bed was made, and everything was in place, but it was empty too.

The door of the bathroom was closed though, and when he put his hand on the knob and turned it, he realized it was locked.

"Lou?" Harry asked and knocked softly.

He heard a noise in there, or had he imagined it?

"Louis?" Harry asked again

"Harry?" someone asked back, it was Louis and his voice was barely a whisper.

"Yes, love" Harry said feeling relieved to at least hear his voice but that wasn't enough "Are you okay? Can you open the door please?".

Nothing happened for a few seconds, but then there was a click, then the door knob turned and the door opened slowly.

When Harry saw Louis he was shocked, because his beautiful face showed he had been victim of violence, and he was pretty sure where it had come from.

"What happened, Lou?" Harry asked nevertheless, and tried to stay calm for him.

"Chris" Louis whispered.

"Come here" Harry said and wrapped his arms around Louis.

Louis started crying, no, sobbing in Harry's arms, and Harry rubbed his back and held him tightly, wanting to assure him that he would protect hum.

"You're safe now, you're safe with me" Harry told him "You and the baby are safe".

Louis then let go of Harry, and he sniffled, and flinched at his own touch when he tried to wipe his own tears.

"Is the baby okay?" Harry questioned.

"I think so" Louis agreed and touched his belly "I protected her when he tried to hurt her".

"Where is he?" Harry asked.

"I don't know" Louis mumbled.

"Are you hurt anywhere else besides your face?" Harry asked.

"My back, he kicked my back" Louis whispered, and his eyes filled with tears.

"I'm going to take you to the hospital, okay?" Harry proposed.

Louis nodded in agreement and reached out for Harry's hand, holding it tightly, and just with that Harry could tell how terrified Louis was, and he assured him again that he was safe.

While Harry drove Louis' car to the hospital, with Louis next to him, he kept looking sideways at his friend, and every time he did that, he wanted to murder Chris for doing this to Louis.

When they arrived at the hospital, a very nice nurse was quick to get Louis admitted as soon as Harry explained why they were there, and allowed Harry to stay with him.

"Who did this to you, love?" a different nurse asked as she cleaned up Louis' face.

In the time that had passed, Louis' face wounds had swollen and bruised a lot more, and it looked even worse than when Harry found him.
