The Ink In Our Skin (Larry Mpreg)

School

(There is some talk about self harm, a trigger warning for everyone!) 

Louis POV: 

I was on my way to another shitty day at my boring school with my mean classmates, I hate it there. I am walking down the street when I see Liam and Niall walking up to me with their stupid smirks. They have been bullying me for years now. I came out to everyone accidentally three months ago when I left my ringer on and my grindr went off. I don't even use it that much, I was new to the whole online dating thing. I had been meaning to delete it, I was not getting much use out of it. No one had matched with me yet, but of course the one day I do get a match it is in the middle of history class and everyone heard it. By the end of the day everyone knew, the kids in my school are very homophobic. That is why the bullying is worse now because all the rumours have been confirmed. 

"How is it going Louis, how are you feeling today?" Niall says to me. "Why do you care Niall". I responded to him, my voice shaking. 

No matter how many times they bully me it is always so scary, I hate being scared it makes me what they call me, a pussy. 

"Get used to it already Tommo, we are not going anywhere". Liam says seeing the tears well up in my eyes. I watch as Niall punches me directly in the face causing my nose to bleed. I am constantly covered in bruises and cuts from them. They always bully me before or after school so they don't get caught. I start to walk away from the pair in the direction of my house.

 "You are always such a pussy Tommo!" I hear Niall announce from behind me making me run the rest of the way home. I make it home and immediately crash to the floor letting all of my emotions out that I had been holding in all week. I was a sobbing mess I am surprised that there is not a pile of tears surrounding me. I was in my own little world until I felt hands on my shoulders. I opened my eyes to see my mom in front of me, I thought she left for work already. 

"Peanut, what's wrong love, what happened". I just leaned into her and let my sobs continue to happen. 

I was now on the couch with my mom telling her about everything. 

"They have been bullying me for ages mom, they make me so mad. I am so unhappy with my life, why do I have to be gay!" 

"You are gay because that is who you are, love. I wish you told me about the bullying, I would have done something". She says to me with a sympathetic look in her eyes. 

"I thought it would go away, i'm sorry I just did not want to be a pain". 

"Look at me darling, you are allowed to take up space in the world, do you understand me?" She had tears forming in her eyes now so I knew she meant it. 

"There is something else mom". My mom looked at me with a small smile. "Yes sweetheart?" "I sometimes, like when I am really upset I will, cut myself". 

I am now looking at the ground ashamedly rubbing my fingers over the healing wounds on my wrist. I just felt the arms of my mother take me into her grasp and pull me into her chest like a baby as she holds onto me like I am going to disappear. 

"It's going to be okay Lou, I promise". That is all I heard before falling asleep from exhaustion. 

I woke up still in my moms arms but in my bed. I turn to face her and she is staring at me. "How long have you been looking at me for?" I asked.

 "I'm not sure like ten minutes, we slept for like three hours". I chuckle finding that funny since it was only ten A.M. at the time. 

I then remembered mom was not at work. "Wait mom you have to go to work there are people there who need you, sick people mom, you have to go" I told her with slight distress. 

"Don't worry peanut, I am staying here with you for a few days, I told Mary that you were not well and I need to be with you. She is going to cover for me for a week so we can get started sorting you out". 

I feel my heart drop to my stomach, did she tell Mary about everything? "Mom, did you tell her everything?" 

She sighed. "I had to peanut, she is not judging I promise. I am sorry that I shared something so personal with her, but you love her, we see her all the time, she is like your aunt". 

"It's okay mom, you're right, I do love her" Mom smiled and kissed my forehead. 

"I am going to go make us a sandwich each, yeah?" I nodded and lied down telling myself it would all be okay.
