Chapter 7

Okay that was very awkward with my bus driver. Good thing he brought me back to the death trap. I don't know how I would have replied.

I'm at my last period writing an essay on Hamlet. Talk about boring. I mean I enjoyed reading the book but this is way too easy. I know what your thinking "but Harry (or Marcel if your a bully too) didn't school just begin?". The answer is yes, but, I read all of these highschool plays back in grade 10. The English teacher decided to give me the essay so I wouldn't be 'bored'. Anyways.. Essays are for fourth graders or something.

Or maybe that was just me. Oh god.. I am the biggest nerd.

"Marcel!" Someone shouts and I look back to see what of the popular cheerleaders looking at me.

"W-what?" I stutter.

"Do these worksheets for me. And I expect the grade to be a 70.. I don't want my mum expecting too much effort." She said slapping 2 papers on my desk.

I sigh and take the papers putting it into a folder I already have three assignments from other people in. I finish my essay's rough draft and put it away and begin working on the other peoples homework.

As I am I feel my glasses cave in and I sigh. Broken glasses. I need new ones. I wonder how much I have saved.

I walk up to the front and put tape on the nose piece again hoping it will stay put. When I'm done I put them back on and finish the work sheets.

The bell goes off and everyone parades out of the class and I follow in suit. I pack my bag and I am pushed into my locker. I feel it cut my lower neck and I hold the wound.

"Look at poor old Marcel!" Rick taunts and I ignore him. I finish packing and put my old bag on my shoulders as I close the locker.

"Look boys we cut him!" Rick smirks as the new boy Peter pushes me into a locker.

"Hope it gets infected!" He shouts as they walk off. I take a look at my bloody hand and sigh rubbing the wet blood on my pants.

I walk on the bus and Louis stops me.

"Don't think about getting off at your stop." He whispers tapping my shoulder beside the wound and I wince.

I sit down in my spot and Rick shoots me a look while holding up the middle finger at me.

I sigh and watch the trees and houses pass until we park the bus. I get off with Louis and he opens his door for me and I walk to the sofa and put my bag in the corner.

"Shirt off." Louis commands and I feel my eyes go wide.

"W-What?" I stutter looking him in the eyes.

"I need to clean your cut. Take your shirt off." He says and I nod. I remove my shirt and look to see Louis' eyes roaming my torso. He looks back up at me and I blush before he pours the cleaning liquid into a rag. He puts it on my shoulder/neck. And I wince. He holds my hand and I grip it tightly. I feel him massaging the back of my hand before he begins dabbing the bloody cut.

"Your okay Harry." He whispers while he continues dabbing. I open my eyes and he smiles.

"You can take a shower if you want to but wait for Liam to come bandage it up first." Louis says softly and I nod. "How was your day?" He asks.

"It was okay.." I mumble.

"Well weekend starts tomorrow.. One more day." He smiles and I nod.

"Want to come over?" Louis asks.

"I uhm.. Think I'm hanging out with Niall actually." I mumble and he nods.

"Maybe both of you can come here." Louis offers and I shrug.

"Lemme know." He says and pulls the towel from my shoulder and I sit on the sofa. I close my eyes resting back and wincing because of the sting from my neck. I massage my other shoulder and sigh.

"Tiring day?" He asks.

"Yea." I mumble.

"Lay down on your face love." Louis says and I blush.

"What did you say?" I ask.

"Disregard that.." He mumbles before saying, "Just lay down."

I nod and lay across so my head is on Louis' lap. I feel his hands run through my hair before the caress my neck and back. I sigh and nudge my head deeper into his lap.

"Try not to do that lo- Haz." Louis says quietly as his hands massage my mid back and shoulder blades. God this feels good. He goes deeper into my shoulders and I feel an odd sound come from the back of my throat.

"Harry I-I have to g-get u-p." Louis stutters and stands. I notice his pants are slightly tighter then before and I blush looking away.

"Uhm.. I uh.. I-"

"It's okay Lou.. I read a book with this in it once." I mumble.

"Sorry." Louis mumbles sliding away. I look up at him and he stops.

"Why?"

"This uhmm.. I tried to not make this happen.. But I uhmm-" I cut him off from his ramble.

"It's okay." I say, "It happens cause of hormones."

"Uh.. Yah." Louis mumbles nodding. "Do you feel better?" He asks switching the subject.

"Yah thank you." I say and he smiles.

"Want to take a shower or a bath now?" Louis asks.

"Mhmm." I nod and Louis shows me to the bathroom.

"Bath?" He asks and I nod again. He fills up the bath and puts a little bubbles in it. "Until Liam comes to bandage your shoulder we will put this on it." Louis says taking another rag and wrapping my shoulder before duck-taping it. "A makeshift bandage." Louis smiles at his work and I smile at him.

"Thanks Lou." I say and he nods while walking out and closing the door. I take that as my cue to undress. I do so and climb into the tub. The water swarms around me and I sigh. My glasses fog up and I remove them putting them on the side.

"Hey Harry. I brought you a- oh sorry I didn't think you uhmm." Louis says and I blush. "It's okay the bubbles cover you up. I can't see anything."

"O-Okay." I nod.

"Here's a water." Louis says, "and you look good without your glasses."

"Oh thanks." I blush and he hands me the water. I place it on the side and Louis grabs a stool.

"I'm going to stay.. Or is that awkward?" Louis asks.

"Promise you can't see anything?" I ask blushing.

"Not at all." Louis smiles.

Them you can stay." I mumble. "What time is it?"

"4pm Liam will be home soon." Louis says and I nod.

"Sounds good." I say closing my eyes.

After maybe a minute or so the front door opens.

"Louis I'm home!!" Liam shouts.

"Be right back Harry. Just going to talk to Liam." Louis says and I nod feeling sleepy.

As the warm water caresses my body I fall asleep to the murmured talking between Liam and Louis in the front room.
