His limbs lay weak and lifeless. His back numb, all life sucked out of him like a withered fall leaf. The only movement he senses is the twitching of his parted lips.

¨Baby?¨ Harry's voice trembles behind the bathroom door. One of Zayn's eyes open slightly half way at the sound of his boyfriend, but he is to fragile to respond.

Harry gently opens the door with a squeak to reveal Zayn flat on his tummy on the bathroom floor. The wipe marks bruised into his one smooth tan flesh. The skin torn to the next layer of skin, revealing shades of the impurest reds and scratches of darkness from dried blood haunt his back. Harry gapes at the scene, his mind running with guilt, that killed him inside. This is what he had done to his own boyfriend.

¨Oh my god, Zayn!¨ The curly haired boy kneels to meet Zayn's face. With his strong and lean hands, he places the dark haired lad's head slowly on to his lap as if not to hurt him furthermore. He commences to run a finger through his soft dark hair to ease, if at all any, pain. A tear rolls down Harry's cheek, burning him as it fell.

He was a monster.

¨I'm so s-sorry.¨ Harry whispers the words into his boyfriends ear. Zayn nods slightly to the lack of energy he had lost from the beating. He just lays on Harry's trembling lap.

Harry gently places a hand over Zayn's head, and the other one under his boyfriend's leg to lift him up over his shoulder. Zayn scruffs and moans at the sudden movement, causing his nervous system to lash his body with pain.

¨Shit, I'm sorry.¨Harry apologizes, he felt disgusted with his own self, how could his own hands have done this to someone he loved...?

Harry proceeds to gently enter the kitchen with Zayn over his shoulder. He takes full grip of the dark boy's head to place him belly side down to heal the monstrous flesh tears his back was home of.

Harry brings a wet cloth over to the table. His hand shakes at it gets closer to the intense shades of red on Zayn's back. His shoulders heave in up and down motion when he brings himself to place it on the dark haired lad's back. His eyes close as he puts pressure on it.

¨Ssss.¨ Zayn hisses at the new sting that took over his back from the contact of wet to dry. His eyes squeeze tightly and his hands launch into fists to ease his affliction.

He cries as Harry continues to clean the broken skin, the blood soaks into the towel, and stains into Harry's hands. He cringes at Zayn's cries of agony.

¨Weŕe almost done baby.¨ Harry soothes Zayn, He starts to hum at his boyfriend's side to calm him down. Zayn slowly lets the fist fade away at the sound of Harry's singing gently flowing into his ears. His rough breathing lessens.

Harry lets the blood soaked cloth at the sink, he gazes at the swirl of red spining down the drain.

Harry brings himself to kneel in front of Zayn. He cups his face with his large hands. His thumbs make circles around his cheeks to soothe them. ¨I'm sorry.¨ He mouths the words. Harry's vision becomes a blur at the start of new crystallized tears ready to fall.

¨I-It's Okay, Harry.¨ Zayn lets out in a venerable tone. Harry's hands felt strange on his skin. He felt a cold sensation run through his spine.

It felt different from before...before a spark lighted every part within him with Harry's touch...but now..... he felt nothing.....
