Stole My Heart *Larry Stylinson AU*

Chapter 5

**Louis' POV**

       I make my way down to the lake. As usual it was calm and peaceful there. I really like it here. It's the only place I feel safe. I sit down by the tree nearest to the lake and pull out my blade.

      I began to cut a broken heart. It hurt but in the end life hurts. It hurts to breathe and even if Harry does make me happy when he's around me I feel guilty being happy. I can never be happy. I hear a snap to my right and see Harry 'Harry? What are you doing here?'

        He looks at my arm and back at me. I realize my cut is visible so I quickly pull my sleeve down and cover it. He looks sad, disappointed, and very worried "why?" His voice is barely above a whisper. I look down and away from him while shutting my eyes tightly.

       I'm just waiting for him to leave or tell me he never wants to talk to me again. I feel him sit next to me and pull me into a hug. I haven't been hugged in such a long time that I burst into silent tears. I hold on to him tightly. "It's okay Louis but please tell me why you did this?"

       I let go a bit and for the first time in years I tell someone what happened. 'It happened when I was 9 years old...' I begin to sign.

**FLASHBACK**

      I stood in my room counting "8! 9! 10!! Here I come!!" I began to search for my sisters Lottie and Fizzy. I looked in their rooms, the kitchen, the living room and loos but nothing. "Lottie! Fizzy! I give up! This isn't funny anymore!" I walk into the living room again and see two huge men holding Lottie and Fizzy, the third is calling someone.

        I walk up to them slowly and ask "who are you?" The man looks at me and smirks "Yes, perfect we're gonna be rich" he grabs me and ties me up. I still struggle "why are you doing this?!" Lottie shouts and Fizzy starts to cry. They take us out to a black car and shove us in the back.

      "Lottie, Fizzy? Where are we going?" I ask both of my siblings. Lottie gives me a small smile and says "it's gonna be okay, don't worry but I need you to do something for me, as soon as they open these car doors I'm gonna throw myself at those men, you two need to run okay? Run."  I shook my head "what about you?" She smiled, tears running down her cheeks "I'll be alright."

       The car came to a stop and the car doors opened. There was no one outside though. The car was connected to a wall, with a hole and it led into a room. Lottie screamed in despair and said "go in quickly" we nod and run in. "I'm scared" Fizzy speaks up and I hug her "it'll be okay" I didn't know how wrong I was.

      We stayed in that dark room for who knows how long, they only fed us once a day. The men who had taken us came in and took us to another room, this room however was brightly lit. "We have the money from the parents what do we do with the children boss?" The man was sitting in a chair, he sat like a king. He had black hair, blue eyes and a scar starting from his forehand down to his neck.

     "Kill them, they're no use to us" the man nodded and dragged us to another room. I remember struggling along with my sisters. It was no use we weren't as strong as them. They were adults. When we arrived at the room the man pulled out a gun and pointed the gun to Fizzy who looked scared out of her mind "NO!! FIZZY!! PLEASE!! DON'T!! OH GOD!! NO!!"

      It was too late, the man pulled the trigger and Fizzy fell. I was paralyzed with fear and didn't dare move a muscle. Lottie looked to me and said "run" I did as she told me and I saw her push the man to the floor but that didn't stop him. He reached for the gun and just as me and Lottie were running a shot was heard. I look over at Lottie and she was holding her stomach, blood pouring out of her mouth.

      "G-go"  I ran out and kept running until my legs felt heavy. I couldn't speak, I didn't want to either. It was my fault, if I hadn't asked them to play with me, maybe if I had run out before those men saw me and gotten help. I fell on the ground and just stayed there until someone found me.

       When I woke up I was in the hospital. They kept asking what happened but all I did was stare at them with a blank expression. I didn't smile. I didn't bother to. When my mum saw me she ran over to me and hug her me tightly "are you okay?"

       I of course didn't answer I just stared at her. She looked at the doctor and asked "what's wrong with him?" The man looked at me and back at her "he hasn't uttered a word since he was brought here" my mum cried. When we got home she began to take more trips. My father didn't even look at me.

      This made me think. They don't love me. I could've done something but didn't and they knew it. Their love for their son was gone. I no longer knew the definition of the word love.

**FLASHBACK OVER**

       I stopped signing to him and he was silent. "Lou, it's not your fault" I shook my head and signed 'yes it is, I could've done something' he sighed "Lou you were a 9 year old who got kidnapped, you lost people in your life who you cared for but it's not your fault" That had been the first time anyone cared enough to say those words. Those words I longed for so badly but knew I wouldn't hear from anyone. Here I was telling him what happened when I had never signed what happened the wall I put up was slowly breaking. And Harry was somehow breaking it.

       I looked at him, trying to figure him out 'why do you care so much? Why do you stay by my side, I'm hopeless' he shook his head and said "no one is hopeless, you just needed someone to be there for you and I will be here, forever I promise, and I care because I care about you a lot." I blush and sign 'really?' He nods. How does he make me feel this way? Why is my heart racing? What is happening to me?

      "Let's take you home" I nod and try to stand up but honestly I don't have to strength. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast and that's because of Harry. I haven't slept well at all I guess it's finally catching up to me huh? He notices and carries me in his arms. For the first time in for what seems like an eternity I feel safe.

*At Louis' House**

        When we arrive the door is open as usual. "Louis you need to lock the door" I nod and he carries me to my bed. As he's about to leave I get a hold of his shirt, he turns around "what is it?" I blush, and I'm glad it's dark in the room 'can you sleep next to me?' The bed dips a bit and he hugs me close.

       At that moment I felt tired. So very tired. I felt safe, and a bit happy. Soon I fall asleep and it feels like heaven I haven't had this amazing sleep in a long time.
