Secrets (On hold)

Chapter Five

*Laurens POV*

Harry and I walk quietly off mine and Lou’s tour bus.  Perrie and Danielle had left to go back to their hotels, Zayn is outside to smoke, Liam is going to bed, and Louis is laying around bitching. I grip Harry's hand as we approach Zayn.

"How'd Lou take it?" Zayn smirks, then takes a drag of his cigarette.

"She's pissed. She doesn't know if makeup will cover it." Harry shrugs referring to his swollen, cut lip, and bruised face.

"I bet she'll figure something out." Zayn says, taking another drag and turning to puff the smoke away from us.

"Did you guys tell Niall and Serena?" I asked Zayn, staring at his cigarette and finding myself craving one. I know Harry would get pissed if I smoked but I needed something, anything to calm my nerves.

"Nah we figured Harry would." Zayn replies, leaning against the bus and running a hand through his messy hair.

"Great. Well let’s go." Harry tugs my hand towards the door to the bus and we walk in. I watch Louis snore while lying on the couch, his hand dangling off. I giggle and follow Harry as he makes his way back towards the bunks.

"It's safe to come in right?" Harry jokes, opening the door to the bunks a crack.

"Yeah come in!" Niall calls from his bunk.

Harry opens the door fully, and walks in, not looking at Niall or Serena and keeping his head down. I roll my eyes and follow him over to his bunk, sitting down on it.

"How was it?” Serena asks curiously, pulling back Niall’s bunk curtain all the way.

Harry turns to look at Niall and Serena, I hear them both gasp.

"What happened?" Serena jumps off Niall's bunk and sits on Louis' bunk, directly across from Harry's.

"I got in a fight." Harry shrugs, I lean over and kiss his cheek. He turns and gives me a cheeky grin, that doesn't meet his eyes.

"We know that bit. Liam said you did, we just didn't know if it was true or not..." Shock was clear in Niall’s voice as he climbed off his bunk and sat down next to Serena.

"Some pervert attacked Lauren." Harry sighs, running both his hands through his hair then resting his chin in his hands, wincing at the contact with his bruised skin.

"Attacked?" Serena looks at me, her eyes wide.

"I was dancing with Perrie and she went to go get us drinks. While she was gone a man came up to me and tried dancing with me so to escape him I went to the bathroom. He waited for me to come out..." I feel Harry stiffen beside me and I grab his hand squeezing it. "When I got out he pinned me against the wall and wouldn't let me go."

"You're forgetting about the part where he slammed you into the wall and hit your head against it." Harry adds furiously, then picks up his phone. "I'm calling Julia to check that out."

I grab his hand. "Harry I'm fine don't call her, it's too late and there's barely a bump." Julia is part of management, and used to be a school nurse, so the boys always call her when there’s an injury that needs to be checked out.

Harry looks me in the eyes and I nod. He sets his phone down. "I want her to check it tomorrow then."

"Whatever that's fine." I look back at Niall and Serena who are looking between me and Harry.

"Lauren, are you okay?" Serena grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried." I say squeezing her, then sitting back next to Harry.
