The Boy Next Door (boyxboy)

Chapter 24

Niall moved his lips against Harry's as he wrapped his arms around Harry's neck to pull him closer and play with his hair. Harry didn't protest and lay down, their lips not detaching as he wrapped his arms around Niall's waist to pull him impossibly closer. Niall cherished this moment and the feeling of Harry's lips against his. The kiss turned heated quickly and Harry pulled Niall's top off, their breaths heavy as they parted for the mere seconds. He pushed Niall back to lie down and hovered over him, kissing down his neck. They reattached their lips and Niall moaned as Harry shoved his tongue through Niall's lips. Harry's phone began to ring and he pulled away, staring at Niall. Regret, panic and guilt washed over him and he quickly moved to the other side of the bed.

"H-Harry?" Harry shook his head and left the room, closing the door and leaning against the wall, answering his phone.

"Styles". He closed his eyes and rested his head back.

"Harry it's Josh". Harry hummed. "Harry...they found another body..and they think it was Niall".

"It couldn't be him Josh". Harry sighed and looked to the closed door.

"How do you know?"

"Because he was with me Josh. I'll be there in ten minutes". Harry hung up and walked out to the lounge room. "I have to go back to the office. Don't do or say anything to him I swear to god if you do.." Harry let out a frustrated breath as Daniel stared at him. He felt so guilty right now. He just cheated on his boyfriend. "Just don't go anywhere near him. It's just for tonight". His phone rang again as he began to drive. "What's up Josh?"

"Don't come to the office, come to the park. It's around the corner". Harry hung up and headed to the park, knowing full well that this would be where the body was found. Yellow police lines were boxed around the small, lifeless body, several people surrounding the area as they waited for the chief of police. Harry went under the line, walking over to the body and kneeling down. Josh looked at the boy then Harry with worry.

"You were with Niall that whole time then?" Harry nodded. "So he's really not the guy". Harry examined the small, bashed body with the open wounds that were the obvious cause of death. "He's gotten angry now". Harry nodded. The others weren't as terrible as this one. They weren't as injured and torn.

"Maybe this kid put up a fight and he didn't like that. Let's search the area yeah?" Josh nodded and they both stood, walking around the park to find any trace of evidence. The examiners tried to find any shred of DNA on the boy as Harry walked around the park with his torch. He could hear small whimpers and a gasp as he got closer to a large tree, grabbing his gun and quietly walking over to see a small boy, fear written over him and tears running down his face.

"P-please d-d-don't hurt m-me". Harry lowered his gun and frowned.

"I'm not going to hurt you mate. I'm officer Styles". Harry carefully walked over to him and kneeled down.

"Y-you're the p-police?" Harry nodded and smiled warmly.

"Yeah. Why are you out here this late?" He pushed his small brown fringe out of his eyes and looked up to Harry.

"I-I'm scared".

"What's your name?"

"B-Ben".

"Okay Ben, do you want to come with me back to the station and we'll call your mum?" Ben nodded his head vigorously, his brown eyes still glazed over with fear. Harry look the small boy under his arm and tried to warm him up as they walked over to Josh.

"Who's this?" Josh frowned.

"This is Ben. I found him behind a tree. I'm going to take him back to the station and try find his parents. Will you be okay?" Josh nodded.
