We Will Find a Way Through the Dark (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter One

CRASH!

Harry woke up to the sound of glass shattering. He shot up in bed and realized the sound was coming from outside his bedroom door. When he heard his step dad ,Mark, yell he whimpered.

"You better open this door now or you're gonna regret it!"

Shaking, Harry got out of bed and opened the door. When he saw a broken mirror on the floor and Mark's angry face glaring at him, he got even more scared.

"I told you to never lock this damn door!" he yelled as a hand came up to hit him on the cheek.

He whimpered and shot out "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." before Mark had another chance to hit him.

"You better be sorry. And you better be sure this never happens again. Now clean up this mess and you better not be late to school." Mark left the hallway and stalked to his room. When Harry heard the bedroom door shut he slid down the wall and buried his face in his hands trying to keep himself from crying.

After giving himself a minute, he got up off his bedroom floor and went into the kitchen to get the broom and a dustpan. He started sweeping up the mess Mark had made. When he was almost done he stepped on a piece of glass. He bit his hand to keep himself from screaming. That would just make Mark angrier.

After sweeping the rest of it and keeping his foot off the ground so he didn't get blood on the floor he went to the bathroom to try and find a band-aid. There was one left in the box so he made a mental note to get some later because he knew he would need them.

After doing the best he could to stop the cut from bleeding he made his way back into his room to get dressed. At this point he only had on a pair of boxers so he threw on a black shirt and dark jeans. When he was putting his shoes on he glanced at the clock and cursed under his breath when he realized that school started in fifteen minutes and he had an at least twenty minute walk.

Harry slung his book bag over his shoulder and raced out the door. After running all the way to school, he sat down in his first hour class just as the late bell rang. Harry sighed, grateful that he had made it on time. The last time he had been late to school Mark cut his back so bad that he probably should have gone to get stitches.

Harry shook himself out of his thoughts when his teacher started talking about X's and Y's. His algebra class went by fairly quickly and when the bell rang he raced out of the classroom, towards his next class.

Once again his class went by quickly and then it was time for lunch. Harry had never really had a lot of friends. His only real friend was Niall. While he was waiting for Niall to get through the lunch line, Harry sat down at his usual table to start on his algebra homework.

When Niall finally sat down he looked at Harry strangely and asked, "Where's your food? Aren't you hungry?"

Harry avoided the first question and answered, "No not really."

"How can you not be hungry. You've told me before you never eat breakfast, so you have to be!"

Harry just shook his head and said, "I'll eat if I'm hungry" In reality Harry didn't have any money and he definitely did not want to admit that to Niall.

Niall just brushed the subject off and asked how his day had been going. Harry told him that it had been going alright. And by that point lunch was almost over.

Niall stuffed the rest of his burger in his mouth and they both slung their bags over their shoulders.

Harry said goodbye to Niall as they stepped out of the cafeteria.

The rest of the day went by fairly smoothly and he also managed to get very little homework.

As he was walking home a car pulled up next to him and rolled down their window. "Hey you want a ride?" a voice called out from the car. Harry turned his head to see who it was and recognized him as a senior at his school.

He declined the offer and continued walking but the car just scooted back up next to him and they guy said, "Come on. I know you really don't want to walk all the way home. I really don't mind giving you a ride."

Harry normally wouldn't except a ride from anybody, but his foot was killing him and he thought that it was bleeding again, so he said "sure if you wouldn't mind." and walked around to the passenger seat.

As Harry pulled the handle to the car, it wouldn't open. "Oops, sorry bout that." the guy said as he unlocked the door.

Harry hopped in and said, "Hi, I'm Harry Styles. Thanks for doing this, you really didn't have to."

"Really, I don't mind. Oh, I'm Louis Tomlinson by the way. You're a junior, right?"

"Yeah, and just take a right up here." Harry answered as they were nearing his street. Once he pointed out his house Louis pulled over and Harry unbuckled himself.

"Thanks again"

"No problem." Louis smiled and added, "We should do this again sometime."

Harry blushed and told Louis bye. After he closed the car door he walked up his driveway and to his front door. When Harry turned around to close the door he noticed Louis was still parked in front of his house waiting to make sure he got in okay.

Harry waved goodbye one more time and closed the door. When he turned around he saw his mum and Mark glaring at him.
