A Boy In The Shadow

Chapter 4

"We can't just leave him here," said Liam having the daddy figure.

"Well, we don't even know where he lives," said Niall.

"Why don't we take him back to ours and clean him up?" suggested Louis.

"Or, we could find out from the school office where he lives," said Liam, "or they can contact his parents to come to get him and look after him."

"Always mister responsible," Louis said sassily, "but do you really think he would want to go back to school where everyone can clearly see he's pissed himself and make fun of him even more? You're such a genius sometimes."

"Fine, we'll take him back to ours." Said Liam, "Zayn, you and Niall go find Paul and get him to bring the car around, we'll bring Harry."

Zayn and Niall went off while Louis helped get Harry into Liam's arms without hurting him too much.

30 mins later they were at the boys home.

Harry looked out the window and saw a massive mansion style house. This was like a palace for him.

He knew he didn't deserve to be here, he's never felt so out of place in his life. Actually, that's a lie, he felt even more out of place when Liam carried him inside because they didn't want him to walk till they had helped him sort his situation out.

After a lot of persuading the boys managed to give Harry a bath and gave him some new clothes.

They had to bite their lips to resist asking Harry about all the cuts and bruises on his body. They were almost certain that not all of Harry's injuries were from being bullied.

They even gave Harry some soup. Harry saw the time on a clock on one of the walls and noticed it said the time was 4 pm.

Where had the time gone?

Harry jumped up hurriedly. He had to go now or else his dad would kill him when he got home.

"You okay?" asked Zayn.

"Yeah," Harry said quickly, "but I got to get home. My dad will be wondering where I am."

"You could ring him," Zayn suggested.

"No, it's fine. We're meant to have gone out to get something and I totally forgot." Harry said, which was a total lie but he had to get home, fast.

"We'll drive you," said Zayn.

"No, it's fine. You've done enough already." Harry said quickly.

"Nope, we'll drive you," said Liam already grabbing his keys.

"What's your address?" asked Louis.

Harry gave in and told them his address.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

40 minutes later they pulled up outside of Harry's house.

Apart from the overgrown grass and the half fallen down fence, it didn't look too bad from the outside. It still gave the boys an unsettling feeling, though.

Harry got out of the car as fast as he could and thanked the boys.

Harry hadn't even made it halfway up the footpath to his front door before it opened, revealing a furious Des Styles.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?! AND WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE CLOTHES FROM?! DID YOU STEAL THEM OR HAVE YOU BEEN STEALING MONEY OFF ME!?!" he shouted, slapping Harry hard, in the face, making him fall to the ground where Des kicked him in the stomach repeatedly.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" yelled Zayn, getting out of the car along with the rest of One Direction.

But before the boys could get to Harry, Des pulled out a gun and aimed it at Harry then pointed the gun at the boys, then back at Harry again.
