Dark secrets

Where hes not supposed to be

Louis' POV

The next day at school Harry sat next to us at lunch and in science which I didn't even know he had with me.

I passed him a note because our teacher was like a hawk. She could hear anything but her eyesight sucked.

HEY DO YOU WANT US TO COME OVER WE LIKE YOUR COUSIN SHE'S FUN TO HANG OUT WITH BUT WE ALSO WANT TO KNOW YOU. ( bold letters is what it says on the note)

A few seconds later he passed it back.

SURE THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO THOUGH.

OK WE'LL BE THERE AROUND 3:30.

We walked up to the door and Niall knocked. An older woman who I assumed to be Harry's mom answered. "Oh come in guys Harry told me about you coming." She said with a smile. We walked inside. The door was right in front of a long hallway with stairs to the left as you walk in. When you walk down the hallway there was a living room to the left and a kitchen/dining room to the right.

In the living room there was a long tan couch that lined the wall and turned and went half way into the opening of the room. The walls were painted olive green. There was a big flat screen TV in the corner of the room facing the curve of the couch. I had no clue what was playing.

"You guys can just take a seat I don't know what Harry's doing but Gemma will be down any minute" Anne said.

I sat I the middle of the couch and Liam and Niall sat down next to me. After a few minutes Gemma came downstairs. "Hi guys" she smilied. She sat down on the end if the couch. "Hey Gemma" I said.

A few minutes later, Harry came downstairs with no shirt on. His ribs were clearly visible like he hadn't eaten in days. His cargo shorts fit loosely around his tiny hips.

He leaned over the back of the couch and whispered something to Gemma. She looked up and whispered back. Harry left and came back with a white shirt and black jacket on.

He jumped over the back of the couch and landed on the floor in front of me which scared Gemma.

"Harry you're going to break something if you keep doing that." Gemma told him.

That's when I noticed the bandage on his ankle. It wasn't there earlier. Was it?

"Harry what did you do to your ankle?" I asked. He looked down. Then he looked at Gemma worried. Why? All I did was ask a question.

"I- uh- I was running and twisted it." Harry said.

"And Gemma, I didn't break it." Harry finished. He sat down next to Gemma.

"Are you guys hungry? I can make something." Anne said walking in from the hallway.

"I AM!" Niall yelled. Anne lightly laughed. "I am" me Liam and Gemma said. "Harry your not hungry?" Anne asked. "No" he said.

Does he ever eat? He's so skinny.

After a few minutes, the food was done. We all ate and we were back on the couch. "Why don't you go outside?" Anne said. "Yeah" Gemma said as she got up. "You want to play football?" She asked.

"No lets go to the lake." I said. They all agreed and Gemma and Harry put there shoes on.

Ten minutes later we were at the lake. We threw some rocks in and talked. "Gemma" Harry said with a worried voice. We looked at him and he was on the verge of tears.

"That's his house." Harry said as he pointed to a house. Gemma looked at him with wide eyes. "We gotta go" Gemma said. We ran back to where the trees his us. Soon we were back on the sidewalk by the park. "Gemma what if he saw me?" Harry said. "Harry who was that?" I asked.

Harry let the tears fall. Gemma pulled him into a tight hug. "I can't tell you Louis." Harry said. We came up to their house. "I'll see you tomorrow." Gemma said. "You guys come over and ill try to explain I just need to see if I'm allowed." Gemma explained.

Harry's POV

Louis Liam and Niall are going to find out. Great. Note the sarcasm.

"Mum Harry found Ronnie's house by the lake. Liam, Louis and Niall want to know who lives there because Harry was crying. What should I tell them?" Gemma asked.

"I think you should let your brother tell them when he wants to." Mum said. I was on the couch with Gemma and mum was next to her.

I went to bed. I didn't want to talk about him.

****

He had a knife. He chased me. He tackled me. He hit me. I was bleeding. He didn't stop. He kicked my head. Then my ribs. Then my stomach. I screamed. He cut me. I bled. He laughed. I passed out.

****

I woke up just like I had the first night. I got a shower then came back out. I put on a pair of all black jean shorts. They were really loose since I was so skinny. Then I got a all black shirt and a dark blue flannel. I got black and white high tops out of the closet that were a little but different than the ones I was wearing yesterday.

I went downstairs to find Gemma at the table... And Liam Louis and Niall at the table eating. "Hey Harry." Niall said mouth full. "Hey" I said. "You hungry Harry?" Mum said. "No" I said. "But you're so skinny" Gemma said.

"I've gotten used to not eating." I said. Louis looked at me confused. I walked to the front room and sat down next to my mum. She was watching the news or something. "Why are they here?" I asked my mum. "They wanted to check on you. They saw what happened yesterday." She said.

"Plus they want to walk you guys to school" she finished. Liam and Louis came over and sat next to me. "Hey you alright?" Louis asked. I nodded. "What happened?" Liam said.

I looked down. Mum looked at me. "Tell them when you're ready." She whispered and got up. She walked down the hallway and was out of sight.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell us now or even ever." Louis said. I was about to tell them but the TV interrupted me with a name I knew all to well. "Ronnie Haddox is number one on the wanted list in the Cheshire/Sheffield area. He is wanted for rape and kidnap as he kidnapped a boy at birth the boy is back at home after 14 years. He is also being accused of child abuse. We can release no further information at this point." The news reporter said.

Louis' POV

"Woah we got a rapist and a kidnapper in one place that's scary." Niall said. I didn't even realize he was in here. "You don't know the least of it." Harry said.

I looked at him confused. "Huh?" Liam said. Harry looked at him wide eyed. "N-never mind" he stuttered.

"Harry what is up with you?" Niall asked.

"I don't want to tell you." He almost whispered

"Ok boys time to leave you'll be late if you dont." Anne said walking into the room.

I want to know what's wrong with him. I want to help him. There's some deep dark secret and I want to know so I can help him forget it. Or at least get over it.

I will know.

I will help.

A/N: Do you guys think I'm putting everything into to much detail? Do you think it's stupid how I tell you what they're wearing?

Ok bye!
