Louis POV

My head was still tucked underneath Harry’s chin as we were in an embrace out on the balcony. We were still swaying back and forth, but Harry wasn’t humming anymore; just complete silence. I move my head and I look up to Harry, who in turn is looking down at me.

“Why?” I ask Harry as were still in the embrace.

“Huh?”

“Why me? There are so many other people you could have, why did you choose me?” I broke away and went over to the ledge to watch the sunset that was cascading behind the trees on the property.

I heard his feet pat on the woodened floor and soon his arms were wrapped around me and sighs before he speaks, “I chose you because you offered a challenge that I wanted to go for; the challenge of saving you from everything around you. When I first saw you I knew that I’d be the one to help you and that you weren’t going to let me in easy. But, you surprised me that you let me in and then I realized that you actually needed someone. You needed someone you can trust and to love. And Louis, you changed me these past few weeks and I’ve grown to realize that I love you. I love you so much that I’m scared to lose you.” I turned around to face Harry to notice that his expression is just as concerned as I thought it would be.

I had tears flowing freely down my face. I didn’t expect this was what he would have said, I didn’t think he cared for me this much. I thought that I was just some charity case and he would have left once I was changed.

“And you’re not some charity case Lou, why would you even think something like that?”

“Because all of my life I’ve been the charity case. I was adopted for Christ sake! No one wanted me when I was born and no one ever will!” I yelled as tears were pouring down my face and I looked to see a heartbroken Harry.

“Just because you were adopted doesn’t mean you’re a charity case, Lou. It was the fact that your real parents weren’t able to take care of you for a number of reasons. And you never know they could be still regretting the decision. But, never refer to yourself as being a charity case because that is something you’re not.”

“But, then explain why I get bullied? What did I ever do to deserve any of it? I never did anything to any of those people who bully me. I just want to know the reason why, it’s hurting me. I don’t want to hurt anymore and I don’t want to see you break because I’m slowly losing my mind.”

“Louis, there will never ever be a plausible explanation why you get bullied, but I can tell this. But, they could be bullying you because they feel threatened by you or that their self esteem is so low that they feed on innocent bystanders. Like, I’ve spoken the Keith countless times and he just won’t budge. But, he does know that I know his most deep darkest secret since I sort of caught him in the act in the locker room after a game and well it was surprising, but that besides the fact that he should have never started to bully you in the first place.”

“Why, what was this secret he had?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Why not!? You’re my boyfriend; you can’t just keep these things from me!”
