DON'T HURT ME DADDY (Harry Styles)

8

The family were all sat in the living room, enjoying their pizza.

Even Harry seemed to be liking it. He just had a cheese and tomato one, as he'd never had one before. He picked at it to start with, but once he got used to the taste, he managed to eat two slices. That's all he could manage.

"You did well Harry. So you like pizza then?" Liam asked.

Harry licked his lips and smiled.

He squirmed a bit in his seat and looked at Lucy.

"What's up love? Come and tell me?" She said.

Harry slowly got up and walked over to Lucy and whispered on her ear.

"Ok love, let's go." She said gently and took Harry's hand, walking to the bathroom.

"I like Harry!" Niall suddenly blurted out. Liam smiled.

"That's good. I'm sure he likes you too."

Liam got up and collected the empty plates, taking them into the kitchen to wash up. Louis followed him.

"Dad...will Harry live with us forever?" Louis asked as he helped dry the dishes that Liam just washed.

"I don't know Louis. He's only just got here. Let's see how things go yeah?" His Dad replied.

"Ok... it's just... You and Mum let me stay, I love you!" Louis said, as Liam turned round and hugged his eldest child.

"Oh Louis...we love you too. Now chin up, let's get these dishes done and go watch a movie?"

Louis nodded and picked up the tea towel again.

The family were all settled in the living room. They put on a movie, The jungle book, and were all watching happily.

Tiny snores were coming from Harry. He found it difficult to stay awake for long periods of time.

"I'm gonna take him up to bed." Liam said, picking the small boy up carefully.

"Can I go up too Dad? I'll be quiet, promise." Louis asked.

"Of course Lou."

Louis followed them upstairs, and watched as Liam gently placed Harry in his comfy bed, tucking him in, and kissing his cheek.

"Goodnight Lou. Love you." Liam kissed Louis' cheek.

"Night Dad, love you too."

Liam left the room.

Louis got into his own bed, and got out his phone. Flicking through YouTube videos of his favourite pop groups, every now and then looking over at Harry to make sure he was ok.

He was growing quite attached to the boy already.

He eventually fell asleep, phone in his hand, as happens quite often.

"HARRY!! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU HIDING? GET OUT HERE NOW!!!!"  I can hear Daddy screaming at me. I'm so scared. Every time he screams like this he beats me. Don't hurt me Daddy! He hurts me so bad. I'm not coming out this time.

"HARRY! I'M WARNING YOU! OUT NOW YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

I'm crying. I can't help it. I'm so tired, I just want to go to sleep. I know it's the middle of the night cos it's dark outside. Go away Daddy please let me sleep.

I thought I was good at hiding, but not this time! I felt his hand grab my arm and yank me from my hiding place. He pulled so hard, he could've ripped my arm off, it hurts so much. I'm crying harder.

"YOU DO WHAT I TELL YOU! MOVE!"

He dragged me downstairs and out into the garden. I rarely go outside, and if I do, it's just the garden, as punishment. I hate the garden.

It's full of rubbish, the grass is high, and covered in nettles.

That's why he throws me out here, into the nettles. They sting like crazy.

So he throws me there again. It's dark, cold and it's been raining, the grass is soaking wet. I'm only wearing a thin t shirt and shorts, and I shiver.

I scream at him as he turns his back and slams the door.

Why doesn't anyone ever come when I scream? Is everyone deaf? Does nobody care about me? Right now I wish I was dead. I try to find a patch of grass that's not covered in nettles, but there's hardly any.

It's stinging so much. It's agony. I'm too tired to scream now, my cries are fizzling out into tiny sobs, and my eyes are dropping. I can't help but fall asleep.

I'm woken up by him grabbing my shirt, pulling me up dragging me, back into the house. He throws me on the kitchen floor and throws a slice of bread at me.

I grab it before he can cruelly take it away again, and stuff it into my mouth, nearly gagging from the staleness.

I eat it quickly, then he grabs me again, yanking me up the stairs, I can't lift my feet up, to walk, so the stairs are bashing into my cold, wet body as we go up, surely leaving bruises.

He Chucks me in my room and slams the door, not saying another word.

I don't even know what it was that I did wrong.

The nettle stings hurt so much, but I can't do anything about them.

I'm so weak and tired, that I can't even pick myself up off of the floor, so I lay there, til sleep overcomes me.

*****

Louis is woken up by cries from Harry. He quickly jumps out of bed and rushes over to him, moving his hair from his forehead.

"Hey Harry, it's ok, I'm here! It's Louis. Are you ok?"

Harry sits up and cuddles up to Louis, still crying.

"Do you want me to get in your bed?" He whispers. Harry nods, and Louis gets in and they snuggle up together, Louis rubbing Harry's back to calm him down, and soon enough, they both fall asleep.

Hope you liked this chapter. There might be more of these flashbacks.
