Harry walked home with a huge smile on his face! The day had been horrible to start off with, because of the whole Simon and Ashley thing, he believed Simon, as they did spend some time in the tree together, and they shared a kiss.

Harry walked home, and upon arriving at the gate, he felt strange, something felt uneasy in his stomach.

What the fuck was going on?

He walked down to the door, opening it gently and softly, he closed the door behind him, kicking off his shoes and walking into the living room, bending over to see if anyone was in the kitchen, but they weren't there.

"Don't bring him into this!" He hears his mother shout, he looks down the passageway, to see his father and mother there next to each other, his mother was backed up in the corner, his dad standing in front of her, blocking any possible way for her to get out.

"You can't deny the fact that he's a stupid kid!" His dad screams.

Stupid

Stupid

It was no lie or no thought that who he was calling a stupid kid, seeing as the possibilities or it either being him or Josh, because Rosie, surprise surprise, was a female.

And from the two options he had, Josh was a perfect kid, he expelled in sport, being very good at soccer, and was a smart kid, so it left him with one person, himself, the one who was to scared to talk.

Harry was stuck in a crossfire, what does he do.

He either stands up for his mother, and speaks, which could change his life forever, impacting everything he has built in the last few years of his life, it would make his father stop, no lie about it, the words would shock his system, but would it backfire, years and years of not speaking a word to anyone. Then it crashes down.

Or does he walk away, does he leave the house for a while and come back late in the day when everything does down, he could pretend like it never happened, or would the guilt bite him in the back of something was to happen to his mum.

Where were Josh and Rosie now anyway?

Harry's eyes flicked to the door, and then his mum, and he made a choice.

He went out the door.

He walked outside and closed the door behind him, he didn't think about what consequences it would have, so he walked down the road to one of the only houses he knew.

Zoe's.

When he arrived at the door, he was scared to knock, what happened if her dad is home? He didn't like him, as he was a gay guy, and liked to dress in quite feminine clothes, so hopefully he doesn't answer the door.

Never the less, he puts those thoughts to the back of his mind, and knocks on the door, playing with his feet impatiently, waiting for someone to open the door, he heard footsteps. And they came closer to the door, the door swung open, to reveal not Zoe, but Joe.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" He asks.

"I wanted to come round to you guys," he replied.

He goes off to the side giving access for Harry to walk in, he was still on edge, so he turns around to face Joe.

"Ummm, is your dad home at the moment, you know he doesn't like me much," Harry says.

"He's out for a few days, so don't worry, also, Caspar's here, I know you haven't really met him but trust me, he's s nice guy, so you shouldn't be worried to meet him."

He two walked up the stairs, and went into Zoe's bedroom.

"Zoe, Caspar, Harry is here!"

Harry walks in and up jumps Zoe to give him a hug, he sits down on the floor like all the rest of them are, he sits next to Zoe as Caspar and Joe are sat next to each other, smiling happily together, how cute of them.

"Hello," says Caspar.

"Hi," replies Harry.

"How come you came to see us Harry?" Zoe asks.

"I wanted to, you guys are my friends as well."

They all smile, and so does Caspar, he wasn't as intimated by Caspar as what he thoughts, then again, he was dating Joe, who did have a little soft spot, so it was clear that Caspar was a nice and loving person.

"Do you want to play a board game?' Zoe asks, they all nod, as Zoe walked over to a shelf and pulls out a few games, monopoly, scrabble, connect four and guess who, they all choose to play monopoly, as they set the board up, Zoe whispers in Harry's ear.

"Is everything ok."

He nods and smiles at her, but she isn't fully convinced that everything is ok. But she lets it go, and continued to set up the game.

Harry mind it still in a pool of thoughts, what was going on at home, was anything happening?

Ping, he heard his phone go off, he takes it out of his pocket and looks that he had to messages, one is from Simon

Si - Hello, thought I'd text you :)

He couldn't think of a reply, so he left it for a little while, and went to look at the next test message, it was from Rosie, which was weird, seeing as the two never really texted each other. He opened it.

Rosie - Where r u? Get home now!

With that he stood up and bolted out the door, everyone screaming his name as he jumped down the stairs and went down the street as quickly as he could. He loved his family, even though at times they could be mean and he hadn't had proper contact with them in years, he still cared for them.

He ran the whole way home, and even though he was tired, he continued to run, his feet ached, everything ached, but he didn't stop until he reached the house, a police man was standing outside.

"Why are you here sir," asks the police man.

"My... My sis.. My sister told me... Told me to come home." He pants out of breath.

Rosie comes running out of the house, along with Josh, as they go over to hug him. Rosie was crying, so much.

He normally never spoke, but... But it felt different this time, it felt right to speak. So he used all of his courage that he had kept inside, and spoke a few words that meant everything, and changed everything.

"What happened Rose."
