The Boy Next Door (boyxboy)

Chapter 17

Harry was going crazy. He was smashing frames, trashing the room, screaming. He was out of control. Niall was completely terrified. He didn't know what to do. There wasn't really anything he could do. Harry had locked the door and Niall kept knocking, asking for Harry to open it but he wouldn’t. Niall flinched every time he heard the echo of shattering glass clash to the ground or the loud snap of some broken furniture. Harry’s screams are what scared Niall the most. It was three hours of that until Niall heard Harry’s soft cries. He softly knocked on the door again. 

“Baby please open the door”. He heard the click of the lock and heard movement before slowly opening the door. Harry was curled up against the furthest wall, his body shaking from the sobs that escaped his lips, his curls a mess, his eyes wide with fear from his outburst. “Oh Harry”. Niall made his way over to the crying boy and knelt in front of him, pushing his mattered curls back.

“I’m sorry”. Harry’s voice came out broken and cracked as he let more tears drop from his red rimmed, puffy eyes. 

“It’s okay. You’re okay”. Niall pulled Harry’s head into his chest and soothingly brushed his fingers through Harry’s hair. “Harry who did this to you?” Harry shook his head. “Please tell me. I’m worried about you”.

“Are you really?” Niall frowned and pulled back.

“Of course I am! I love you Harry”. Harry searched Niall’s face for a few minutes. 

“Do you really?”

“Harry what has gotten into you?”

“You don’t love me. No one loves me. Just like Luke said”. Niall’s frown deepened. 

“Harry”

“Just leave Niall”. Niall was hurt from Harry’s harsh tone but thought it was best he did as Harry wished. He took Harry’s phone quickly and left the room, clicking on Zayn’s contact. 

“Harry? You okay?” Niall took a deep breath and walked into his music room. 

“Zayn it’s Niall”.

“Ah, hi, is ah…Is Harry okay?”

“I don’t think so. He just had a massive outburst in my room and broke practically everything. He was yelling and screaming and…he believes I don't love him”. They were silent for a moment. “Zayn what happened at the school?” He could hear Zayn quietly sigh.
