Never Broken

Chapter 6: The Break

Louis' POV:

Valerie woke up  and smiled at her family. It was great seeing Harry happy like this. I only just realized that the happiness he had shown beffore he told us was all an act, but the look on his face right at this moment, showed pure joy.

I looked at Valerie. She seemed okay with everything now. She was finally reunited with her family and she was finally happy.

For the next two hours the boys stayed in the back of the room while Valerie talked to her family. After that, Gemma and Mr. and Mrs. Styles left, leaving Harry behind to look after Valerie. It had been arranged that Valerie would be living with us for a while, and the boys and I were all fine with that. Liam, Niall, and Zayn left so that they could prepare the guest room for Valerie and I stayed behind.

I pulled up a chair next to Valerie's bed and sat down in it.She looked over to me and flinched a little. I sighed.

"Valerie," I started, "Do you want to tell Harry exactly what happened to you?" she gulped and looked up at the ceiling. Harry's eyebrows furrowed.

"You don't have to right now if you don't want to," he said, taking her hand. She looked back to him and shook her head.

"No, someone needs to know," she sighed, "I never got a good glimpse of who he was. He never took off his mask. He would feed me maybe once or twice a week. Every day, at about the same time, he would beat me. He would use anything at his disposal. Whips, wooden boards, you name it. Some days, he would even..." Her voice faltered and she stop talking. Harry looked mad now, like he wanted to stangle someone.

"He would even do what?" he urged her on, his voice cold. she took a deep breath.

"He would rape me." Harry's eyes burned with hatred towards the man who did this. He was shaking with rage.

"I'll..I'll be right back," he said. He slowly got up and walked out of the room. I rolled my eyes. I peeked out of the window and saw that Harry was already outside. He was nearly pulling his hair out. He kicked one of the concrete building supports, hard. He started hopping on one foor and I couldn't help laughing.

"Harry's still got a temper I see," Valerie said. I nodded, still laughing. she was chuckling too. A few minutes later Harry limped back into the room with the doctor right behind him.

"Ms. Styles, your brother told me that you were raped. Is this true?" Valerie nodded, "Alright, we're going to have to perform some tests to make sure there's nothing wrong. Could you two lads wait out inthe waiting room?" I got up and walked to the door. Harry was about to follow me, but the doctor stopped him, "You might want to get that foot checked out Mr. Styles, kicking concrete that hard can do some serious damage." Harry nodded and when we were out of the room his foot couldn't take his weight anymore.  I had to support him as we went to find a nurse.
