Nights in London

Chapter 1

It was one of those nights in the city that was eerily quiet. Well quiet except for one nearby scream in pain, whimper in fear, and sob in agony that Louis Tomlinson was able to pick up on. He raced towards the sound that so happened to be coming from about a block away in an alley. Right as he approached, he saw 2 guys and a car flee from the scene.

Letting the people run, Louis turned his attention to the whimpering lad on the ground. Louis knew he was gay, a certain boy named Harry Styles helped him figure that out back in Holmes Chapel, so when he saw that very same boy in the alley way in London, he doesn't have any idea what to think.

As he neared Harry, Harry backed scooted back until he was right up against the wall; even then he still tried scooted away hoping to disappear into the wall of the alley way.

Much to Louis' surprise, he'd lost that happy sparkle in his eye. Now Harry's eyes were a dull, sad green. He looked so unbelievably skinny as well. Louis wouldn't have known it was Harry if it weren't for his curls and facial structure. He literally looked like a completely different person; he had an emotionless face and his tall skinny frame was much too skinny to be healthy.

"Hey, Hazza," Louis said shyly not sure if this was the best place to bring out Harry's old nickname.

"B-Boo?" Harry asked in the same tone, not quite believing his eyes.

Louis chuckled, "Yeah Harry, it's me. The one and only!" he exclaimed, face breaking out into a smile at the end.

Harry knew Louis was a loud one, but late in London after he was just brutally beat, he grimaced at the loud outburst of Louis'.

"Oops! Sorry Haz," Louis apologized.

"Erm it's okay Boo," Harry chuckled before whimpering in pain, "Lou-Lou it r-really h-hurts," Harry remarked, his voice cracking slightly.

"Awwe Harry, what hurts?" Louis asked concern radiating off of him.

"Everywhere," Harry whimpered. That was a stupid question; both boys knew that. Still Louis wanted to know if anything imparticular hurt. It'd been years sense he'd seen Harry.

They both lived in Holmes Chapel together, but after the divorce of his parents Louis moved to Donny (Doncaster) with his mother. Later on she had 4 more girls before another unfortunate divorce. See Louis' mum was great and had a huge heart, she just cared too much for guys who didn't care as much, and a few years later, would disappear.

What brings Louis to London? You may ask. Well he's going to UNI of course! It's only his first few months of his first year, but he's pretty familiar with the city and also knows that the alley he'd just found Harry in one of the most dangerous alleys in London.

"How long have you lived here Haz?" Louis asked quite obviously changing subjects.

"Erm about a year, I guess," Harry replied quietly.

"Oh okay. Do you want to go home now?" Louis asked quietly.

"Y-yes please..." Harry replied trailing off because he'd only just found his old best mate again and he didn't want to be a burden especially if Louis had just moved here and didn't know his way around London.

What Louis didn't know was that Harry was here, but not with his family. He's in London because he wanted a new start. An escape.
