I know im not the best at writing but I try and im trying to make my updates longer and more frequent but witb sol's and softball its hard to have any extra time.so sorry.also remember when lou talks its in bold and when harry talks its in italics-
》Harrys pov《
I feel something warm against my chest as I begin to wake up.I open my eyes to see my room mate laying in my bed.I reach over and poke his nose.He nyzzles my chest and smacks at my hand.
"c'mon wake up"I poke him
"wakey wakey" I poke him again.
"okay get the fuck up!"I yell
He sits up wide eyed and looks around. "what the fuck?"
"you were asleep in my bed and you wouldn't wake up so I yelled at you, sorry".
"s' alright just nect time do it a bit nicer, yeah?"
"alright, so why were you in my bed?"I ask
"well it was storming last night and I got scared so I climbed in bed with you"
"okay, so what ars we supposed to do now?"
"well first we go take meds,we eat and then its time to take showers and stuff (hygen hour)."
"oh, I never got your name, im harry by the way".
"Louis"he said and shook my hand.
"lets go take our meds and are you going to eat?"
"um no, id prefer not to".I say getting up.
"c'mon lets go".louis says and we walk out to the nurse station.A lady who's nametag read Cindy gave me a little white pill that ive been taking for a few months.It doesn't work worth a shit but I still take it. I sigh and swallow the pill.Looking over I see louis, he has five pills to take.I wonder what all those are for.I think.I was about to walk back to the room when I was stopped by louis.
"Make sure you dont fuck up my shit you twat!"He says then walks away to what im guessing is the cafeteria. well thats odd, why is he being so mean now?I think to myself.I walk back into our room and decide to get some more sleep.Laying down I fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
》some time later《
I groan as I wake up to louis slamming the door to our room."whats wrong?"I question. "shut up amd go back to sleep!"he yells back to me.I sit and watch him as he gets his clothes and goes into the bathroom.I hear him get into the shower and I walk out of our room and down the hall.when I get to the "tv room" (one of the group rooms that the patients get to watch tv in before bed) I see a boy sitting in the middle of the floor.He has blonde hair and blue eyes, he looks really young, like maybe 12 or 13."I wonder what hes here for".I think to myself.I walk over and sit down next to him.He keeps his head down as I study him.His face shows worry and hurt."hi im harry".I say to the younger boy.He looks up at me with wide eyes."i-i'm n-niall".he says. I can see tears spilling down his plump cheeks.I dont know why but for some reason I care for this poor boy in front of me.I reach over pulling him into my embrace." shh shh, its okay niall"I say trying to calm him."do you want to talk about it?"I question. "Could we go to my room and talk? I have my own room so no one will mind".he states plainly. I nod my head and stand up.I hold out a hand and help him up then we start walking to his room.Turns out his room is right across from mine.We walk in his room and sit down on his bed."what do you want to know". " how old are you, why are you here, and why were you all alone in there".I state expectantly. " I'm 12 years old.Do you want to know the whole story?
I nod and he continues. "well when I was born my father left so it was just my mom, brother and I.Then what I turned six he came back and he started doing things to me.Not normals things that a father should do to there sons.He would touch me down there and one day after school he cane in my room and locked the door behind him.He came over to me and told me that if I didnt let him do what he wanted he would kill my mum, and I couldnt ket that happen cause then me and Greg wouldn't have anyone so I did what he said.He took all of my clothes off and stripped off all of his clothes.At that time I didnt know what he was doing.Then he stuck his willy in my bum and i had to take it to save my mum.This happend every day for three years.During those years he also made fun of me for being overweight and he beat me saying I deserved to die.When I turned ten I started cutting and burning myself." he pulls up his sleeve and I gasp at what I see. his cuts are deeper than mine and there are burns littering his scrawny arms."Then at school people started making fun of me and beating me up.So I stopped eating after that.At first I would only skip one or two meals but then I stopped all together."He stands up and lifts up his shirt.Every single one of his bones are visible."I had to go to the hospital a few times and the last time my dad had beat me again and I passed out.My mom found me and took me to the E.R.I had three cracked ribs and a cracked skull. After that the docter had seen how many times I had been in there and they began to get suspicious. One of the nurses came in and asked what had happened and I told her that it was my dad. He found out that I told the nect day and he shot my mom and brother. I told the docter I lived with my aunt and she let me go back to my house where I tried to hang myself but the docter had called my aunt so she found me and brought me back to the hospital.And from there they decided I needed to stay here so...and the reason I was alone in there is because no one here wants to be around a pathetic little kid."he finishes. By this time tears are stinging my eyes and niall is full out crying."im so sorry you had to go through all of that"I say truly sorry for the boy.He just nod and crawls over to my lap.I sit there thinking about everything he had just told me.how could anyone put this little boy through that? By the time I snap out of my thoughts niall is asleep in my arms.I gently pick him up and put him under the covers.I turn to walk out but his hand grabs my arm stopping me."please stay"he begs. "okay"I say climbing in bed next to him.I close my eyes as I feel niall cuddle up to me and fall asleep.
