Leah's POV

I sat up in bed, my alarm clock hasn't even sounded yet. I didn't sleep at all last night. I was in a restless state of... Would excitement be the word? No. Nervousness.

Opening my closet doors, I picked out black jeans and a blue long-sleeve shirt. I brushed through my hair and put a beanie on, making sure to cover my right cheek.

I eventually got the courage to get to the bathroom past my dad's room, where he still lay sleeping, and put on my makeup. I quickly made him breakfast and as I was doing dishes, I felt a hand set on my hip. Oh god, not now.

I knew his actions before he would even move. He was going to touch me. I was going to sit there a take it unless I wanted to get hit, which I'm thinking wasn't a completely bad idea right now.

"Mornin' baby." He rested his nose on my shoulder. I inched away from him a bit and his grip tightened. His right hand skimmed over the front of my jeans and I pushed him away. His anger went crazy and he turned me around against the counter. The edge dug into my palms and the back of my thighs while tears threatened to spill onto my face.

"I'm going to wreck you tonight." He whispered into my ear. I tried to make it past him, but he wouldn't budge.

"I-I-I have to go to school." I barely managed out. He sighed and let go of me. I made my way out the door, only stopping to grab my backpack.

Harry's POV

I tossed and turned all night. I was finally going to get to see her, hold her, make her smile. She was going to be happy with my help. I was going to make sure she was okay.

"Boys! Up, now! Big day today!" I shouted, pushing back each curtain.

"Harry, it's nine o'clock in the mornin'. Get your ass out of my bunk." Niall turned towards the wall. I flicked the switches on the outside of each bunk, turning on the lights inside. A rumble of curse words erupted from each bed and I successfully had my team up and ready by 10.

"Okay, so who is going to file the report?" We all glanced around the crowded van.

"I think I should, boys. I am the most responsible out of our bunch." Liam spoke up. We all nodded our heads in agreement.

"And Harry, I think you should be her guardian." Liam crossed his arms over his chest and all of the attention moved to me.

I guess I knew in the back of my mind that I would have to take care of her, but I was maybe hoping that Liam or Louis would step up. I mean, I really want Leah to be safe with us, but I'm only 19!

"I will, I know. Hopefully, there will be a judge on duty today so we can get everything done in a fast manner. I know we'll have to come back in a few weeks to have Leah testify against him, but I just want her to be safe." I ran a hand through my curls and opened the car door as we arrived at the police station.

Leah's POV

I was terrified that the boys wouldn't want me. It's not even so much as I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get the paperwork in, it's just that I was afraid that they wouldn't want to get it done.

I trudged through the double doors and passed by the countless amounts of snickering classmates. I hate school. Always have, always will. It's just a few buildings full of ignorant and judgmental people. They'll never understand that words hurt.

I made my way to homeroom, English, and sat in my usually seat towards the back. My one and only friend came sauntering in as well and took a seat next to me. We were an odd pair, what with Ashley being a blonde cheerleader and then me... Well, yeah. But we've been friends since kindergarten and she's the only one who knows everything. Ashely's eyes widened when she saw my face.

"Did he do that?" She touched my cheek gently and I pushed her hand away.

"Yeah, but its fine. I found someone whose going to help me." She then wanted every detail, but I quickly changed the subject to her new heels.

Harry's POV

"I'm going to grant you temporary custody, Mr. Styles. On the day of her father'a trial, if Leah proves to be in a safe environment, I will grant you full custody. With temporary custody, you are to keep her within the United States of America and to provide Leah with daily necessities. Understood?" I shook my head feverishly. The sheriff started escorting me out when the judge called my name again.

"Oh, and Mr. Styles, if I hear one bad thing out of that pretty little girl about staying with you, I'll have you charged and convicted before you can apologize." I chuckled lightly at her before heading out. The boys were all waiting for me. I smiled at them and nodded my head.

Leah's POV

"We'll be there with cops in 10 minutes, hold out till then babe xx" My phone screen lit up with Harry's name. I smiled while unlocking the door. I was immediately shoved up against the wall with such force that I became disoriented.

"Hey darlin. You know what I'm gonna do, right? Damn, you're so little." He tried to kiss my neck but I pushed him away.

"Damn girl, when did you get strong?" His arms were now wrapped around my waist as I tried to run.

"When I realized how much of a dick you are!" He got angry at my words. We struggled for a bit until he had me pinned on the floor.

"You little bitch! I tried to be nice and this is the thanks I get?" He held my wrists with one hand and smacked me with the other. It was nonstop. One... Two... Three... Four... Everywhere. I was crying hard and there was blood running from my nose and small scrapes on my arms and legs.

That's when my spacious came. The door was flung open and my father stopped abruptly, not before giving me another blow to the head. He was for fully removed from the room and police came to my rescue.

As I was being carried out, I saw them. Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam, and Louis all stood behind a barricade. I waved slightly at them, causing agonizing pain in my bleeding wrists. I then mouthed two words that weren't even close to what those boys deserved.

"Thank you."
