Chapter 24

*Author's P.O.V*

"What? I'm not gonna do that." Harry responds while pulling away from him.

"Do it. I can still see the anger and frustration in your eyes. Just go all the way." Niall encourages, grabbing his hands again.

"You sound absolutely crazy. I'm not about to do this with you." Harry replies, looking at him as if he just shift into an alien.

"Maybe you just need some coaxing." Niall states then shoves him back gently."I'm sure this type of coaxing will help."

"You're not gonna make me hit you so please go back to reading your book and being the good husband you are." Harry says with a laugh and a shake of his head.

"Not even if I admit to missing Zoey's hugs or how she still feels just a little something for me?" Niall asks as he pokes him a bunch of times.

"Lying isn't your strong suit Niall so knock it off." Harry answers, going to put the clothes back in the closet.

"Maybe I do like the attention other people give me and maybe I do go out of my way to get it because God knows my husband doesn't give it to-" Niall is cut off with his airways being restricted.

He feels the wall make contact with the back of his head as his wide blue eyes stare into raging green ones. A choked out gasp comes from him when he realizes that the pressure around his neck is getting deadly tight. Redness spreads throughout his face as his hands come to push at his husband's shoulders. This time around he is afraid of his husband and he knows he can see that in his eyes. He knew that his husband was never able to commit murder but right now it didn't feel like that. Before his vision could start disappearing, he is let go. He falls to the floor coughing hard while also trying to suck some air back into his lungs. It hurt to even swallow. He lets one of his hands rest on neck while the other one holds onto his husband's ankles.

"Why would you make me do that?" Harry asks as he looks down at his shaking hands."I could have killed you."

"Because deep within it helped you out. You saw the fear in my eyes and I know it did something to you. Who knows? Maybe I stopped you from abusing me forever." Niall answers his voice on the rough side.

"You don't fucking know that. I could have kept going and next thing you know our family is broken forever all because of you trying to prove a damn point. Are you taking drugs because that's what this is feeling like. The Niall I know wouldn't do something as sick as that to me or to himself." Harry responds while gripping his hair tightly then pacing around a little bit.

He can feel the tears already coming down his face. He looks at his husband before running out the room. His tears are harshly wipe from his face as he makes his way to the front door. That's something he tried not to do. Though he punches, slaps, and kicks his husband sometimes he refuses to harm him in a way that could kill him. The door opens just as he reaches out for the knob. There smiling brightly at him are his sons as they hold little bags from the zoo. They are quick to jump into his arms and kiss his cheek. They get him to smile before he kisses them on the nose. Niall's mother steps into the house while holding a sleeping Liam. The redness in Harry's eyes doesn't go unnoticed by her but she decides to bring that up later.

"Zayn why don't you go lay Liam down and Louis go find your daddy and show him what you got from the zoo." Maura says and the boys don't hesitate on listening to her.

"Thank you for taking them out for a while. We've been trying to get them out more that's not surrounded with a bunch of celebrities, screaming fans, and cameras but finding time is tougher than we thought." Harry explains as he hugs her.

"No need to explain yourself. I just want to make sure that you're alright. You seem a bit bothered. You're family so I'm here to listen without judgment." She responds while resting her hands on his forearms.

"It's just the high hormones from Liam's birth getting the best of me. Everything is going so right and I'm just grateful to be living like this. I'm sure within a week it'll go away completely." Harry lies, laughing to try and convince her.

"Aww. I went through the same thing after I had Niall. Bobby would do the simplest things for me and I would just burst into tears. I'm glad you don't have it as bad as I did." She replies, making him relax knowing that he is in the clear.

"Hi mum. I hope the boys weren't too much to handle." Niall says as he comes down the stairs with Louis, who is blowing bubbles, on his shoulders.

With Louis on his shoulders, the fingerprints around his neck are covered up perfectly. He knew he didn't have enough time to cover the bruises when he had heard his children enter the house. He figured he can pull the collar up on his shirt some more to help hide it. His son didn't notice it when he came into the room, which made him grateful. Coming up with lies to his family is way more tiring than lying to the public. He locks eyes with his husband and gives him a smile. He steps to him before giving him a kiss. Louis pretends to vomit while covering his eyes with his free hand. That gets everyone to laugh as Zayn joins them in the room. Harry picks him up again once he motions for him to do it.

"Those boys were sweethearts." She replies while leaning forward to pinch their cheeks.

"Daddy I have to go pee." Louis says as he closes the bottle of bubbles tightly.

"Wouldn't want an accident on my head. When you come back, you better bring your a game because I'm going to drink your blood." Niall jokes, putting him down while hissing at him.

"I shall banish you back to the underworld so say goodbye to earth." Louis responds, speed walking to the bathroom.

"Sweetie what happened to your neck?" She questions the moment she sees the red bruises and that gets Harry to freeze up.

"Work as usual. I wanted the scene to look as realistic as possible so I told the actor to go all out. It's apart of the job so I'm not bothered by it." Niall answers while and his husband looks down at the floor as he heads toward the kitchen.

"Sweetie you gotta stop letting them use you like a puppet or you're gonna end up in the hospital or even dead and I can't have that on my mind. I love you." She says as something clicks in her head but she doesn't say anything.

"I love you too but I got it handled. You can stay for lunch if you want but I'm going to go help Harry in the kitchen." Niall responds, kissing her on the cheek then heading to the kitchen.
