harry woke up to the sound of bottles being thrown. harry jumped out of the bed and rushed downstairs to see a gruesome sight. a man who looked to be in his mid 30's hitting niall with beer bottles. harrys eyes widen as the man was about to swing the remains of a beer bottle at nialls head. niall waited for the impact but never came. niall poked his head out from the small protective ball he was in, there stood harry, his savior, holding the mans arm that was mid way.

niall sat there speechless. harry saved me. those 3 words kept repeating in nialls head that he didnt notice the police taking the man away. harry crouched down to nialls level and gently shook his shoulder. niall still didnt realise he was stuck in his own world. while niall was doing that, harry got a closer look at niall. harry noticed bruises that covered nialls body. some turning black.

niall had cuts everywhere from the shards of the beer bottles. the worst part of all this was how harry manage to not see this when he first saw his friend. the bruises looked to be only a few days old meaning that this happens often. after what seemed hours, harrys green eyes met with nialls blue ones. "why didnt you tell me?" harrys strained voice made nialls heart shatter. he never wanted harry to find out. he wanted this secret out of many others that he wouldnt tell to harry.

why you might ask? why would niall tell such things? niall knew that one day harry would find his cuts, or as niall called them, art. he just didnt think that day would come this quick. "i thought no one cared." niall answered truthfully. nialls voice was equally as hoarse as harrys. harry took nialls chin in his hands. "niall we all care. we all love you. its just sometimes people take longer to forgive than others." harry spoke softly to the broken boy who was currently sniffling. "now, why dont we get you cleaned up?" harry smiled trying to lighten up the mood. niall faked a smile to harry. those are just lies, when will you finally realize that im not worth your time? niall mentally asked harry.

niall mumbled a quiet 'okay' before being dragged up stairs.
