"niall, please pick me up." he said quietly through the tears. he was regretting not driving himself.

"what happened?"

louis shook his head but forgot that niall couldnt see him.

"don't wanna talk about it." he sniffled and niall quickly responded.

"where are you?"

"i dont know." he wrapped his arms around himself. he had left the cafe long ago, but now he had no idea where he was. he ran off, not wanting to be with ian anymore.

"describe it to me."

"its like, a really narrow road. there's not a lot of people," he glanced around more, "i can see a lake and a gift shop. lots of trees."

"i think i know where that is. stay where you are please."

"o-" and then the phone died and louis felt like an idiot. he sat on the sidewalk, not caring about the glances from the few people who were here. he held himself and just cried.

it wasn't until 10 minutes later he heard a car and he looked up, seeing niall inside. he quickly got up and into the car. the first thing he did was wrap his arms around niall, while he did the same. niall rubbed his back and louis cried silently. he could never have good things happen to him, obviously.

louis: call me?

harry: yeah, one second.

he quickly answered and said a brief 'hi' to harry.

"hey, love." his heart fluttered but he didn't say anything. "please tell me what happened."

louis nodded, not realizing harry couldn't see him.

"okay, so. it was going fine and he understood why i wanted to break up with him. i said i didn't want to still be friends with him though and he just started yelling at me." louis' voice was quiet and harry's voice stopped him from continuing.

"if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to."

"i know, i need to though." he can feel a few tears running down his face but he doesn't bother to wipe them. "people started staring and so we left the cafe and went into his car. he tried to rape me. remind you, i've never done anything remotely sexual." his voice was shaky, he was on the verge of just sobbing.

"louis."

"harry." louis mumbled softly and he heard harry sigh. "he tried to force me into having my first time in a fucking car." he shut his eyes and he was thankful that he locked his door so niall wouldn't barge in.

"i'm sorry." harry replied and louis just started crying.

"no." louis got out. harry didn't need to be sorry. he didn't do anything. harry was the person who cheered him up, even if they hadn't known eachother for a long time.

"why did he stop?"

louis wiped away his tears, needing to talk. "i started shouting, then i kicked him. just got myself together and ran out.."

"thanks for telling me." harry truly meant it. if louis could tell him this then that means he trusts him not to tell anyone, not that he would. he wish he could just drive to doncaster and cuddle the small boy, maybe he should. harry thought that would seem weird though. seeing someone you've known for just a week showing up out of nowhere. but honestly, harry didn't care. he wanted to comfort him.
