Harry POV

 I silently stirred my spoon around the bowl of cereal in front of me.Derek didn't usually let me have breakfast just sent me off to school.But he sat across from me picking at the pancakes I had made him this morning quietly barely eating any of it..It was odd,he had yet to say a word or hit me..

I was waiting for some sort of surprise attack but he just stayed silent eating his food.I wasn't complaining though..I haven't had a day off from his abuse since he was sick three months ago.But now he was just sitting there not even glaring.

"Shit,you have school.Your going to be late..And so am I."He suddenly stood and I jumped expecting a hit but he just passed me and grabbed his jacket,keys and his wallet before moving to the door.I put our dishes in the dishwasher before grabbing my bag.

As I walked out Derek was sat in his car,that was on waiting.I stood in shock before he honked and motioned for me to get in.I wasn't sure why he was being so nice to me..I thought maybe it was because of the date but he hated me too much to remember..

Today would be our two year anniversary..Two years of pain and two years of living through hell..There realy wasn't much to celebrate..He wasn't like this for our first anniversary..In fact he beat me into a coma that day.So I didn't know why he was being so nice.

The car ride was silent and awkward.I was waiting for him to pull over and beat the shit out of me while he just tapped his hand on the steering wheel along with whatever song was on the radio.When we got to my school I almost cried out in relief,but didn't risk making a noise.He stopped and I slowly climbed out.You could never be to cautious and I didn't want to be caught in a surprise attack.

He said nothing as I jumped out of the car and just nodded to me before taking off down the road almost hitting a few kids.I frowned and blinked before turning and walking into the school.I've been here for two weeks now and I loved being here..I was very careful about my bruises and talking about home life..I don't think I could leave here..Leave the boys....Leave Zayn.

"Hazza!"I snapped out of my thoughts in time to me squished in a tight hug.I looked down to see Lou.I chuckled and hugged him back,much more gentle of course..He pulled away,smiling brightly.He and Niall always seemed to be smiling..It was weird how happy someone could be but they fit perfectly and I guess that's why their together.

Seeing them hurt though..All day I watched boyfriend's be so sweet and caring with their partner then I go home and get a beating from my supposed lover.It didn't make sense to me but I was glad that wasn't with all couples..People don't deserve to be treated like I am..

Well except me of course.I deserved each hit.I pushed all my thoughts away and tuned into what Lou was saying.I heard something about a dance and tuned out again..I didn't get to go to things like that..I was to be home right after school unless I have to study somewhere or stay late.Derek was all about me getting my education though I don't know why he cares.

"Harry your coming to the dance right?"I snapped out of my thoughts once again to see we were already at the rock and Eleanor was the one who had talked.He smiled and shook his head at the girl.

"I don't do those kinds of stuff..We got a test coming up soon anyways..I need to study."Everyone either groaned or shook their heads in disappointment.He was scared he had said something wrong and he was about to get his first hit.Louis raised his hand and I closed my eyes tightly and flinched ready for the hit.When nothing happened I reluctantly opened my eyes.

"Did you..D-Did you think I was going to..H-hit you?"Louis stuttered,his bottom lip trembling his face covered in shock and hurt..Like he couldn't believe the words he was saying.I bit at my lip nervously.I think I was almost as shocked at him.Why wouldn't he hit me?

"I dunno..You seemed angry?Why wouldn't you hit me?"It went silent and I again thought I said something wrong.Luckily in the distance we heard the loud bell signalling the start of school.I picked up my book bag and took off towards the school.I heard a few calls of my name but I am a fast runner and got to the school before they probably even touched their bags.

I knew I couldn't run from them forever and I didn't want to.I really liked my new friends and I liked having people who care about me..People who almost cried at the thought of hitting me.It felt good to know that I was safe with them..

I could truly rely on them for anything..Almost anything.Derek was the one thing that no one could know about..I wouldn't risk Der hurting them because I begged for help when I know I should have just kept my stupid mouth shut.

The next three classes was spent dodging the looks and questions from the guys and El..It wasn't an easy task seeing as I had all my classes with almost all of them.Louis was the worst.He kept sending me sad and desperate looks throughout the classes.He almost made me want to cry..The sad expression really didn't fit him..

I knew I would have to talk to them,especially Louis.I didn't know what I was going to say but I knew I had to fix this..I couldn't just let Lou feel bad for doing nothing and the others needed answers almost as bad as him.As the bell ran telling everyone it was time for lunch.

I bit down on my lip hard enough to draw blood.It was time,I couldn't avoid them anymore and I didn't want to.I wanted to be spending my time talking to my friends..I've never really had this before and I want to cherish it for as long as I have it..Friends.The word was still slightly foreign to me but I have slowly come to see what i've been missing out on all these years.

And as stupid as it sounded they meant the world to me.I really had nothing but Derek and he hated me enough to use me as his own human punching bag.So these guys were really the one thing I had..Other than my music.Though almost no one knew it I was an amazing singer and I loved it..And I basically lived off listening to music.My ipod was my love.

"Hey.."I said timidly as I sat in between Liam and Eleanor,putting my tray down.It had a bowl of macaroni and cheese with a small plate with two chicken strips and a water..I loved lunch here because not only did they have good food but I didn't get to eat at home but I did here.

"Hey!"Eleanor gave me an understanding an polite smile.I could see in her eyes she was worried about me and wanted to know like the others but she was too sweet to stay silent and let me be scared over nothing.I gave her a thankful smile in return.

"Harry..Would you like to explain your reaction earlier?"Zayn asked his tone making it clear he didn't want any bull shit.He wanted the truth and was very determined to get it.I didn't really get why they were making such a damn big deal about my reaction..He had his hand raised,who wouldn't think he would hit me?

"It was nothing big..I must have said something to upset him and the reaction I expected was for him to hit me..Nothing more about it."It was silent after my statement.Even El stayed cuddled into Josh's side quietly. Well that's probably because she was processing it all and thinking over it.I could see on all of their faces that they were thinking over if I was lying or not.

Slowly Niall and Louis nodded with small frowns before the oldest boy pulled the blonde to his chest.Liam nodded and of course Aiden followed in suit.I watched El nod and smile at me,Josh nodding quietly as they turned back to their food.I bit my lip and almost lt out a sigh of relief as Zayn slowly nodded.

I couldn't see if they really meant it all but I decided to leave it alone and just hope it would all blow over.I see in their eyes this wasn't over though.They didn't really believe that was why and they wanted more but my face must have shown I wasn't in the mood to answer more questions..This wasn't over though.And I almost felt safe..Maybe I would be saved after all?..
