Troubled Child (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 4- Family Dinner

*Hey guys!!! I know Molly isn't one of Louis' sisters. I added her in because I know someone named Molly who wanted to be in the story. Anyways! Here's chapter 4, I hope you love it, and please vote and/or comment! Lots of love :)

Chapter 4:

Jay's POV

I really don't know much about Harry. I know Louis cares for him, but Harry doesn't look like the normal people Louis goes for. I'm pretty worried about it. Especially with how Harry looks. He's a toothpick and his skin is deathly pale. But what scares me most are his eyes. They are so... Lifeless. Like there's not a hope in the world. He's practically Louis' opposite. Scratch that. He is Louis' opposite.

Oh I really hope this goes well. I can't have my Boobear getting hurt just because he had poor judgement. I know I shouldn't be judging, but I can't help it with the way Harry looks. He's so... Broken. I never thought I would see such a depressing sight.

"Louis, be a dear and help me set the table." I see he is about to argue and I give him a stern look. "Now." I say in a sharp voice. He turns to Harry and mumbles something that I can't hear then follows me into the kitchen.

Harry's POV

Okay that's awkward. The mum gives me a cautious look, the girls are staying as far away from me as possible, and now Louis left. Well isn't this just peachy.... I sigh then tense up when I feel the Unwanted mark on my back start to burn. Come on it can't be doing that now! I quickly scramble to the nearest room I can find which just so happens to be Louis' bedroom. Huh. It looks interesting. The walls are red and it has a bed with a simple black cover but there's a power ranger action figure on it. The red ranger of course.

How cheeky. There's also posters of different bands around the room like the Fray. There's also a Grease poster. Hmm. I find his connected bathroom and quickly step inside, ripping my shirt off and getting some cold water and dabbing it on my burn. Please stop hurting....

Of course it doesn't. It's all aggravated and red. The word Unwanted sticking out more than ever along with my other scars. I'm so lost in my thought, I make the mistake of not checking if anyone is there.

And in comes Louis. I tense when I see him. His expression holds one of shock, horror, and concern. Why it holds the last one? I'm not sure. But it does.

"H-Harry.... Oh god I.... I-What...? We.... W-what happened?" He finally gasps out after a very awkward few minutes of silence. I roll my eyes and sigh deeply. "Louis it's just a bunch of crap okay? I didn't even plan on you ever finding out." I snap a bit harsher than I planned. He sighs then slowly walks over and starts tracing some of my scars.

I stiffen even more and close my eyes, gripping the bathroom counter so hard, my knuckles are turning white. Why am I letting him touch me? I never let anyone touch me. Let alone trace my scars.

"Who did this to you..?" He whispers, even more shocked as he looks over each burn and cut. His hand going slower as he reaches the Unwanted burn on my back.

And that's when I tell him my story.

Louis' POV (since when he was with Jay.)

"What's up mum?" I ask her as we start setting the table.

I saw the looks she gave Harry and I did not like them one bit. The least she could do is at least hide how she feels about him.

"Louis I'm concerned. I don't know if having Harry around is such a good thing." She says and I scoff.

"You have got to be kidding me. Are you seriously judging him by how he looks?! I thought you were the one person who wouldn't do that!" I exclaim, anger in my voice as I look at her.

"Louis don't you dare shout at me. Boo I know you're concerned for him. Anyone would be. But that boy has no life in him! It's as if he's given up on anything. You may not know it yet, but you're feeling something for him. Something you should not be feeling. Not for him. He's going to suck all the life out of you." She argues back.

She has a point. I am feeling something for Harry. He's gorgeous despite what people say. But she's wrong about the last part. I'm determined to prove that to her.

"Mum. He won't suck the life out of me. I will make sure I'm the one who puts life and hope into him. And I will NOT let you stop me." I say, giving my voice extra emphasis so she knows this is one thing I don't plan on giving up on.

With a very reluctant sigh, she agrees. "I don't like this, but I will be polite and make sure the girls do the same." She explains, focusing back on setting the table and getting the food on the plates. "Go tell him it's time for dinner." She orders.

That I will happily do.

I search the whole house for him then freeze in my tracks when I find him.

In my bathroom.

Shirtless.

And covered in scars. Barely any unharmed skin showing.

What really catches my eye though, is the word literally burned into his back.

Unwanted.

Who would do this to him?

He must've noticed me because his gaze is locked with mine. I can't imagine what my expression must be showing. I've never been one for having a poker face.

"H-Harry.... Oh god I.... I-What...? We.... W-what happened?" I finally gasp out after a very awkward few minutes of silence. Harry just rolls his eyes and sighs deeply. "Louis it's just a bunch of crap okay? I didn't even plan on you ever finding out." He snaps a bit harshly. Ouch. I sigh then slowly walk over and starts tracing some of his scars.

They are so rough and harsh... You can see every detail of them. The burns and the cuts. There's even a bullet wound here. I'm completely mesmerized by the scars. But what surprised me, is that I find them beautiful. He must be so strong to have gone through all of this and still even bother with living.

"Who did this to you..?" I whisper, even more shocked as I look over each burn and cut. My hand going slower as I reach the Unwanted burn on Harrys back. It's so horribly beautiful...

And that's when I hear his horrible and traumatizing story that shatters my heart.
