"Hey." Liam jumped as Zayn hugged him from behind. He shut his locker and turned around. "How are you today?" He asked. "It was pretty good, but even better now that I'm with you," Zayn replied. "Aw, how sweet," some onlookers mocked from across the halll. Liam tensed and Zayn tried to calm him down. "Shh, don't worry about it. They don't matter," he whispered as his lips brushed against Liam's ear. Liam took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's just hope Lou can get through this. He won't take it as easy as me." Zayn smiled and kissed his cheek. "You're okay with them laughing?" Liam nodded after a moment. "As long as I'm with you, I am." Liam grinned and pecked his lips. "You're the thing that matters right now."

Louis sighed as he parked the car in the school lot. He turned off the car, staring blankly ahead. "Lou," Harry whispered beside him. "Nobody has to know about us if you're scared." Louis then turned to face him. "No, I'm just being stupid. We should tell people; I'm sure they already know about Zayn and Liam." He smiled slightly. Harry sighed. "Are you sure you'll be able to handle the hate?" Louis smiled for real. "I'm stronger than I look." Harry kissed him softly. "But you're breakable in my eyes." Harry got out of the car and walked around to open Louis' door for him. They walked into school hand in hand. Louis gulped as everyone stared at them. He led Harry to his locker where his friend was standing in front of it "S'cuse me, Tom, I need to get to my locker." Tom turned, looking him over, and saw he was holding hands with Harry "Sorry, I don't talk to fags," he snickered. Louis took a breath ready to talk, but Harry beat him to it. "Move before I make you," he snareled. "Oh, so scary. The freak can speak." He laughed. "Yes, the freak can talk," Harry mocked "If you dont move in three seconds I'm breaking your face.... one..... two .... three." That's when he swung his fist which endued up colliding with Tom's nose.

Zayn and Liam both looked at each other as they heard screaming down the hall. They ran down and saw Louis trying to pull Harry off Tom. Zayn tried to help pull Harry back. Tom stood up and punched Louis and he dropped to the floor. It suddenly got quiet aside for Harry's pleas and struggles to get out of Zayn's grip. Liam went over to Louis who seemed to be knocked out. As soon as everyone walked away, Zayn let Harry go and and he fell next to Louis. "Lou? Wake up please." He had a few tears in his eyes. Louis moved slightly, but did not wake up. Harry scooped Louis up in his arms and looked at Liam and Zayn. "Help me bring him to the nurse." They both nodded. Louis groaned as Harry started walking. "Where we going?" He mumbled. "To the nurse." Harry looked down at him. Louis shook his head, starting to struggle. "No. No, please don't. They'll call my parents. Please no," he pleaded. Harry sighed. "Fine. We have to clean you up and then I'm taking you home. You got hit hard." He started to walk to the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't touch me!" Louis nearly yelled at Harry. They were in the school bathroom. "Why are you being like this?!" Harry yelled back. "Look at my face! This is your fault!" Harry rolled his eyes. "'Me? I was helping you." Louis laughed. "Yeah, whatever, thanks," he said sarcastically. Harry sighed and grabbed Louis' face, making him look him in the eye. "I'm sorry. I just got mad that they were making fun of you. I only wanted to protect you." His whispering was dramatically quieter than the yelling before. Louis gulped. "I'm sorry I got mad." Harry smiled. "It's okay." He kissed him softly. "Do you feel up for classes ?" Louis nodded. "I should go." Harry kissed him again. Louis smiled lightly. "Walk me to class?" Harry grinned. "Of course."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zayn grinned at Liam, hearing silence in the bathroom. "Finally! They stopped." Suddenly Niall came running up to them. "I heard what happened to Louis and Harry. How are they? Where are they? Are they are okay?" He kept rambling on. Liam chuckled. "They're fine. They are just in the bathroom getting cleaned up." Niall nodded and looked up at the door as said boys walked out smiling. "Hey, you guys waited? And, Niall, you're missing class?" Louis smiled warmly. "Of course. We're all friends now. We are going to be there for you." Niall smiled. Louis smiled wide and went over to hug each boy. Niall hugged him back tightly. He pulled away "lets go to class?" Liam smiled "i'll go with you we have class together." Louis smiled and kissed Harry softly "see you later Harry." Zayn looked up "We can hang out at my house after school!"
