Henry sat along his bed, with the covers on the floor, as he had thrown them in frustration, wishing this all to end. From the yelling, to the arguments, to the insults, and for it all. His tears met the floor's face, as he tried holding in his sobs to avoid being yelled at for being a "baby" "dramatic" or "attention seeking". because as his parents say, that's all he does. And he doesn't doubt it once himself either. This wasn't the first time his parents lash out on each other.
but why did they have to bring him into it..?
"YOU DON'T DO SHIT EDWARD. FIRST YOU COME LATE FROM DOING WHO THE HELL KNOWS WHAT, AND NOW YOU EXPECT ME TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY?"
"IT ISN'T EVEN THAT LATE. MY LORD. YOU'RE JUST AS DRAMATIC AS THAT BOY OF YOURS"
"HE'S YOURS TOO, AS DEPRESSING AS IT SOUNDS"
Henry had enough. Enough of covering his ears, of the shouting, of the blaming, of the guilt, of the thoughts.
He slowly got up, making his way to his drawer
but..
his attention switched places with one thing, to another. One that was safer. one that was kinder. one that reminded him
he cared
his attention was focused on something less hazardous. It was a card that Liam had given him on his birthday, his first of when they had met. He opened it reading the letter, smiling and tears flooding the page. he quickly closed it, not wanting to ruin the crisp cardstock or smudge the marker stains he had written it in.
This card, this memory, could only grasp his mind's attention to one person at this moment
Liam
He made his way to his bed, where luckily and surprisingly, his phone hadn't flung to the floor, from having the blanket off of its order. He picked it up, putting in his pin, and searching in the letters Ls in contacts for his boyfriend.
Finally.
brnggg*!!
brnggg*!!
no answer
"Maybe i just to need to learn to grow up.." he thought, wiping a tear with his sleeve.
Just then
"Henry?..."
He whipped his head directly to his bedroom window, where Liam was now holding himself up, from having rock climbed the wall of his house
"Liam!? oh my god, you're going to fall!" he exclaimed, rushing over to the window, and helping the taller boy as well as he possibly could.
"heh, thanks henry. you saved me"
"what are you do-" Henry decided to skip the questions, and once he realized why Liam had been there, jumped into his arms, the loud crying being muffled by Liam's shoulder on which his head was buried into.
"Their yells were that loud huh..? " he asked in between sobs
"yeah, i love living close to you, but hate knowing the things you go through Hen. You don't deserve this. you deserve better. so much.."
"Thank you Liam.. you make me feel better always." He continued the gratitude with a peck on Liam's lips, which Liam then wrapped his arms around his waist and gave him a more passionate one, making henry feel as cared for as ever.
They broke away after a few seconds
"Hey hen,?"
"Yes liam?"
"how about we get out of here, hm? just you and me. I want to show you something
henry thought for a moment, before he heard a crash of a glass from the kitchen
he quickly went to cover his ears, which Liam did with his own hands instead, so that Henry could wrap his own around Liam.
"it'll be ok love.... I'm here. and i swear i won't let anyone hurt you."
"Thank you Liam. And yes. let's go."
Henry went to stand up, but Liam immediately picked him up bridal style
"li-liam! how are we going to get out of the window like this?"
"hah, I'm just joking you with you. I wanted to see your cute blushing face. you're adorable hen."
He giggled, being put down
"I could Iisten to your laugh forever. you know" This earned another from the shorter one
"Anyways, come on, he said holding his hand while heading back to the window.
Liam climbed out first, jumping into a bush, which softened his fall, but still got a twig in his hair, making henry slightly laugh a little too loud
"s-sorry!" he whisper shouted.
"it's ok hen, come on jump, I got you"
Henry initially hesitated, but jumped, to which he landed into Liam's embrace, falling back on top of him.
They both laughed a little, before standing up, running off into the distance, toward Liam's house, and smiling
Minutes later*
"Come on in hen, my parents are on a business trip, so I have the house by myself. Do you mind waiting in the living room while I do something? I want to make sure you're safe."
"Yes Liam, I don't mind at all."
Henry made himself comfortable, laying down on the couch, and taking in deep breaths, grateful that his boyfriend was there for him as always. he loved him so much.
"Okay hen, follow me please" Liam said, grabbing a hold of Henry's hand gently
"okay" he said, very curious as to what Liam wanted o to show him
Liam led their way to his backyard, which henry was fond of.. except this time, it was even more comforting as Henry could have imagined
He looked at the yard, scattered with his favorite flowers: peonies. Some scattered on the grass, and others on a light green blanket, as well as another maroon blanket being held up by two connecting brunches on the trees above it all. There were lights stringed along the branches and flowed down the blanket, making a fort like structure. And in the trees, he hung little jars with even more lights and little plastic candles that lit up.
Illuminating the dark so brightly and beautifully
"it- its- beautiful Liam.."
"Yet it could never compare to you my angel." he said, looking him in the eyes, and bringing him into the fort.
"but- how did you do this so quickly?" he asked in shock
"Well i had been planning it for a while, and I thought now would be a good time. to remind you how strong and deserving you are. that you deserve the best, to make you feel better, and show you how much you matter and i love you"
"This means so much Liam.." he said, holding his boyfriend's hand and looking up at him slightly
Liam couldn't resist those eyes, and kissed Henry once more, which he instantly returned happily
And as Henry kissed Liam back, his memories went from pitch black to bright, the darkness that was under his head as they kissed, no longer. Liam made his life so much brighter, which made Henry feel loved and endlessly cared for.
Because Liam was not only his boyfriend
but his light through the dark
