~Niall's POV~

I opened my eyes and saw the sleeping boy. A smile appeared on my face as I placed a small kiss on his cheek. Slowly, I stood up and slid some underwear on. Then I walked downstairs to see Louis on the couch watching reruns of the football game. He heard me come down the stairs and turned his head towards me.

"Hey, good morning." He had a suspicious smirk on his face.

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I questioned.

"Nah, I had the day off."

"Oh okay.."

"Is Harry still sleeping?" The smirk became bigger.

"Yeah.."

"What happened last night?" He asked as he patted then seat beside him.

I walked over and sat down, "Apparently, he walked to Gemma's and fell asleep. But, Gemma came home and took him out to eat. However his parents were there also, so he had a little dispute with them all. His dad slapped him twice..so.."

"Is he alright?"

"Yeah, he's fine now.." I bit my lip, knowing he was probably going to be sore when he wakes up.

"That's good. So, did he say yes?"

What was this? It seemed like a teenage girl with her best friend.

"I guess so.." I replied, rubbing my thigh.

Louis had a small smile as he turned his attention back to the game.

~Harry's POV~

Bloody hell. I tried to get up but everything stung. I eased myself up with my arms as the pain shot up from my lower back causing me to groan. I furrowed my brows and I then became determined to get up.

After several minutes of attempting to get to my feet. I eventually managed and put some clothes on. I grabbed my phone and went down stairs. With every step I took, the pain became more intense. Random groans came out of my closed mouth. Both of the boys turned to me, Niall looked nervous then Louis was surprised. Niall stood up and went to help me. He grabbed my hand and helped me down the last bit of steps. He then walked me to the couch as I eased myself down onto the couch. I sat down with a long sigh.

"Harry.." Louis started as I looked at him.

"What..?" I groaned.

"Wh-What's going on?"

"Nothing.."

"You sure?"

I rolled my eyes and cuddled into Niall.

Louis mouthed to Niall shortly after 'what did you guys do?'

As predicted Niall didn't reply.

I internally just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. But it felt so good last night. Love is a funny feeling and it's something I needed to feel. To feel another's body beside me. Their warmth consuming me from the inside out. I longed for it. But no one wanted me..because I was just a boy with an armful of scars and problems.

A burden.

A headache.

I looked around the room and then heard my phone rang. Pulling it out of my pocket I sit up and get to my feet. Both boys look at me with curious eyes. I walk outside and close the door.
