Louis POV
~~~~~~
I keep thinking of Hazel. Why would those girls do that to her? She's so beautiful and intelligent. Jealousy probably. That's what those girls feed off. I pictured myself with Hazel. Waking up to see her curled up next to me, cuddling on the sofa together. I'd never leave her. She'd be able to trust me unlike that idiot, Andrew. I shook these thoughts out of my head because I knew that they'd never happen. All Hazel would be is grateful. We may become friends but that's all. Even if she only wants to be my friend, she'd still be a great one. I parked my car in the parking lot for the studio and walked in. I walked into our recording booth and found Harry with Niall in a headlock while Zayn laughed and Liam rolled his eyes. I smiled. What would I do without these boys? My best friends.

"Hey guys" Harry looked up and released Niall who was now rubbing his neck I got a few mumbled responses.

"So" Harry started "where were you?" He asked with an inquisitive look on his face. I explained about Hazel leaving her purse in my car and me finding her beaten up. I left out the bit about when she cried up until I left to come back here.

"Do you have a picture of this Hazel girl? What does she look like?" Liam asked me. I rifled through my wallet until I got a picture of her from about 1 month and a half ago when she was always happy. Lisa gave it to me. I showed it to them.

"She's really pretty" Zayn spoke up.

"Yeah.. I know" I said dreamily.

"Looks like someone has a crush!" Niall cooed.

"Shut up" I threw a playful glare towards his direction. He put his hands up in surrender.

"She's really beautiful but her stupid boyfriend cheated on her a month ago and recently her dad left her." The boys looked down and had mixtures between anger and shock on their faces.

"She doesn't like getting to know people or them getting to know her and relationships are out of the question at the moment so all I can really hope for is friends out of her." I said sadly.

"She'll warm up to you, just give her time" Liam reassured me.

Hazel's POV
~~~~~~
Once Louis left, my room felt unnaturally empty. As much as I hate to say it, I kind of liked his company. I liked how he stuck around even when I was completely closed off. No one else did. I went into the bathroom to assess the damage those girls had done. My face had been left alone and my limbs seemed pretty clear of bruises so they must have been on my ribs. That, I could deal with. I took off my clothes and had a shower. I looked down at my rib cage and as I suspected, it was black and blue all over the sides. I sighed. No tank tops for a while. I wrapped a towel around myself and let my hair out to air dry. I put on one of my big jumpers that was 1-2 sizes to big for me and tracksuit pants. I put on some socks and got back into bed so I could read. After maybe forty five minutes my phone buzzed.

Lou: Hello love, how are you feeling now?

Me: A little stiff to be honest. How did you get my number?

Lou: Your mum, duh.

Me: she'd tell a psychopath my details without hesitation. I swear.

Lou: Haha, get well soon. I have to go.

I smiled to myself. My mum really did want us together. I'd prefer friends first. We'll see how it goes from there. I decided to go downstairs to make some soup. When I reached the bottom I the stairs I noticed my mum with her head in a book. She's such a bookworm. Mum has recently met someone, I think his name is Chris. I'm glad she has someone who wants to care for her. They're not officially together but they're going on a date in a week or so. I went over to the kitchen and realised that soup takes over 30 seconds to prepare and make. I sighed at this and just took the tub of ice cream, a spoon and went back upstairs. I got my laptop from my bedside table and fell asleep lying in bed, watching YouTube accompanied by my ice cream container and spoon.

The Next Day

I woke up and realised that my alarm wasn't buzzing in my ear. Strange. Then I realised, I never set it! I fell asleep yesterday at midday! Wow.. I sleep for a while. I checked the time on my phone . 6:15. Phew. I got up and had a shower, washing my now dark, straight hair. I got out, wrapped a towel around myself and chose some denim shorts and a fitted black sweater. I slipped on my black converse over my socks. I brushed my hair and used my curling wand just to curl the ends of my hair a little more. I drew a thin line of black mascara on my eyelids and applied a small coat of mascara. I brushed my teeth and checked the time. 7:45. Ok, that leaves me enough time to walk to school and just get there in time. I yelled a goodbye to my mum and stepped outside.

I was shocked to see what was waiting for me.
