The Power of Makeup ||L.S||

It's him Lou...It's him

Harry's POV

It's been 3 months since I came clean to Louis. I spilled my darkest secret with him on our 6 month anniversary. We ended up making love and he proved to me that he will protect and care for me for as long as I live. As of right now, we are at the mall on a casual Saturday. We just finished buying me some makeup from a store. We were holding each others hands and laughing when my stomach growled loud. Louis looked over at me a snorted.

"Hungry there babe?" he said in a teasing voice. I blushed but nodded my head. "We can get food love" he said and we walked to the food court. We got in line for McDonald's and waited for a good 3 minutes before it was our turn. When it was our turn we ordered our food and waited for our name to be called. For some reason I was getting a bad feeling in my stomach. I just took a deep breath and ignored it.

The worker called our name and we grabbed our food. I grabbed the food and Louis grabbed our drink. As we were walking, we weren't paying much attention and Louis bump into someone and spilled the drink. Everybody looked at us for a few moments before turning back and ignoring us.

"Oh my god I am so sorry!" Louis said frantically. "Harry go get napkins please babe?" he asked and I nodded my head and ran to the bathroom. I grabbed the napkins and ran back to the incident. I walked up to the man who was looking down at his drench clothes.

"Here you go sir. I am so sorry this happened" I said as I was holding out the napkins.

"It's ok lad" he said and I froze in my place. That voice sounded so familiar. He finally looked up and we gave each other eye contact. I gasped in shock. I started trembling a bit because I am terrified.

"Harry?" he said. I couldn't speak. I had no words and I was honestly shocked to see him here. I took a few steps back to Louis who was giving us a confused stare.

"Harry babe you ok? Louis asked. I looked at him with worry and scared eyes. "Harry what's wrong" he said more concerned than confused. I leaned down towards his ear.

"It's him Lou...It's him" I told him in a shaky voice. Louis looked at me with shocked eyes. He stared at Nick with so much hatred. I saw Louis ball his fist up and I grabbed his hand and tried to calm him down.

"Harry it's been so long. I miss you. You didn't even tell me you were leaving" Nick said.

"Yeah that was kinda the point" Louis said with hatred and disgust.

"Excuse me?" Nick said.

"You heard me. You are a sick and disgusting man." Louis said.

"I'm sorry who are you?" Nick fired back.

"I'm Louis. Harry's boyfriend" Louis said confidently.

"Well I'm Ni-"

"Yea I know who you are dick face. Just get the hell out of here before I beat the shit out of you" Louis cut him off.

"Ok I'll leave. C'mon Harry let's go" he said and I looked at him with a confused look.

"I-Im not leaving with you!" I said.

"Yes you are. As far as I am concern, you left town and then cheated on me." he said in a smart ass voice.

"I didn't cheat on you" I said with confusion.

"Well you certainly didn't break up with me. You just left." he said.

"I thought you would take the hint considering you are the reason I left." I said back.

"Oh really?" he said. I was about to speak but Louis jumped in.

"Yes he left because of you! You abused and raped him all the damn time and you didn't care! You destroyed him. He changed because of you. Now he can't even go anywhere without makeup because of all the ugly scars and bruises and cuts you left him!! Do you know how long i took him to come lean to me? 6 fooking months. 6! Now I suggest you better get the hell out of here before I beat your sorry ass." Louis finished.

Nick looked very angry. His nostrils flared up and his eyebrows came together. He walked up to Louis and punched him in the face. I gasp as Louis fell to the floor holding his face.

"What the fuck Nick!" I yelled. Nick looked at me and grabbed my arm harshly and started dragging me away. "Let go of me Nick" I yelled. He didn't listen and continued pulling me. Everyone was looking but no one was helping me. Some were staring and others recording. I got out of his arm and tried getting away but he pulled me back and turned me so I was looking at him. "Louis!" I shouted and he hit me. Louis got up and went to Nick and punched him in the face, Nick fell over and Louis got on top of him. Louis started punching him profusely. I went behind Louis and tried to get him off.

"You deserve this because of what you did to my Harry. My sweet, caring, loving, and innocent Harry." he said and continued fighting. Nick threw a few punches but Louis had so much adrenaline that he didn't feel them. One more punch and I finally got him off. He looked at me and he saw my cheek bruising up. He tried running back to Nick but I held him back.

"No Louis c'mon let's go" I said and he nodded his head and kissed my cheek before we started speed walking away.

"I will find you Harry! I will get you. You will be mine soon!" Nick shouted. We started running and got out of the mall and went into the car. We drove off quickly. Louis was breathing hard and I was a mess. I was crying and shaking. Louis pulled the car over and unbuckled his seat belt. He reached across and held me. I cried into his shoulder and hugged him so tightly. He hugged me back with the same amount of force and was rubbing my head.

"I am so sorry Lou..this is all my fault I am so sorry" I said still crying into his shoulder.

"No babe no it's not" he said reassuringly but I didn't believe him. I didn't stop crying for another 10 minutes. Once I was finally done I looked up at Louis and he sent me a sad smile. He caressed my face before giving me a kiss. "I love you babe. I am so sorry this happened" he said.

"I love you too and I am so sorry. This is my fault" I said. He shook his head no but put his seat belt back on. I did the same and we drove off to my house. We got off the car and we went up to the door. I opened it with my spare key I always keep. My mom was in the living room and turned towards us when we entered. She saw mine and Louis faces and gasp.

"What happened!" she said frantically. Louis and I shared a glanced and looked back at her.

"You may want to sit down Anne" Louis said and she nodded her head. We told her everything and by the end of it, she was crying.

"My babies are y'all ok?" she asked and we nodded our head. "Harry...I am so sorry you had to see him again." she said and I nodded m head agreeing with her.

"Anne I am so sorry. I tried so hard to keep him safe. I feel so guilty Anne I am so sorry" Louis said now crying. My mom came over to us and hugged us. We buried both our faces into her and Louis and I held each others hands behind her. "Y'all should stay tonight. Louis ask your mom" she said and Louis nodded his head and texted her.

"She said ok" he responded and I nodded my head. After a long crying session, my mom cooked dinner and we ate. After that Louis and I went up to my room after saying goodnight to my mom. We walked in and closed the door. I walked over to my vanity and sat down. I took out my makeup wipes. Louis came over to me and put his arms around my neck. I leaned into his arms and he kissed my head. I started taking off the makeup and where Nick hit me earlier, the bruise looked a lot worse without the makeup. I tear fell out of my eye and Louis hugged me tighter. After that we both stripped from our clothes into we were in our underwear.

We laid down on my bed and got under the blanket. Louis and I were facing each other and we gave each other sad smiles. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my arm around him and leaned in closer to his face. He kissed me and I gladly kissed him back.

"I love you Haz" he said after.

"I love you too" I said before we both fell asleep.
