War Is Love

Chapter three

I opened my eyes a small bit and saw a light shining at me. Then appeared someone's head in the light who said

"Had enough?" He chuckled. I couldn't tell who he was cause of the light. The light in the back was shadowing his face.  At that time, I tried getting up, I realized how much pain I was in. My nose was bleeding, my lips had cuts in them and I was bruised in so many places. The strange guy picked me up and threw me against the cold brick wall and punched me in the stomach. I was on the floor gasping for air.

"This is what you get for being gay" he punched me once in the face with all his power

"And this is what you get for being born" he kicked me hard on the side of my rib cage, the same exact spot were Austin kicked me. Then I realized. As he moved directions, The light shun on his face, reviling his appearance 

"Austin?" I mumbled. It was hard for me to speak. I was coughing blood at the moment. He looked at me for a while and backed up, soon leaving me there in pain, sitting against the cold brick wall. I wondered how I was going to get back home. First I need to catch my breath, sneak into the house and take a worm shower.

I got into the house and all the lights were closed. I slowly went up the stairs and rushed into the bathroom to take a warm shower. Once I was done, there was a knock on the door

"Harry you in there?" Mum asked

"Yeah, why?"

"Where have you been?" She asked

"I was at the library"

"The library closes at 8 and its 9:30" she begun to feel suspicious

"Sorry, I took the long way home" I replied

"It's okay as long as you know where you're going and you're safe, go back to bed now Harold" mum went back into her room. I put the towel over my waist and went into my room to continue studying.

********************************

The alarm clock rang. I woke up with my studying papers everywhere and my whole room a mess, then realized it was 7:57am, I was supposed to be awake!

I rushed downstairs and saw Gemma fully ready for school and mum in the kitchen

"Why didn't anyone wake me up!?" I yelled. Gemma squinted her eyes as she looked at my face

"is that blood?" She asked

"I fell down the stairs last night- why didn't you wake me up though?" I cut her off as quick as possible. God I just didn't want any family members to get involved with Austin

"Go change! Don't just stand there you're wasting time" said Gemma. I went back into my room and changed into the first pair of clothing I see on the floor. I shoved all my papers into my bag and ran off to school. No one was in the hallways, all I saw were people entering in their classrooms. I ran upstairs to class and saw that the door was closed, it was too late. The teacher noticed me and shook her head giving me a late slip. For the next 40 minutes I'll be sitting at the office doing nothing.

* Louis' POV*

I've been thinking of Harry lately. I'm kinda concerned. He's such a good kid that is willing to do anything to make people smile but doesn't get anything back but hate.

In the middle of Art, I asked to use the washroom. While walking down the halls, I noticed Harry sitting at the office.

"Harold!" I loudly whispered. He slowly turned around and smiled. I came over and sat next to him
