Its the 1600s and all Louis wants is the freedom he knows he will never taste again. He knew happiness, knew a good life and love. Had dreams and reasons to see the good in people, to expect good things from life. Forced into a marriage he will never get out of, all he's looking for is a breath of life. Maybe something or someone to come save him from the hell he knows. *Please read the warnings.

"Can you for once be honest with yourself, Louis?" Harry pulls his hair. He is so frustrated with the guy he has been living with for the past few weeks. "I am honest with myself! You just think you can turn everyone.... you know the way you are." "Turn everyone what, Louis? Can't you speak the word? Is only saying the word too disgusting for you? Do you mean gay. G-A-Y... GAY." "Stop it!" Louis covers his ears with his hands. He doesn't want to hear it. Harry's words can't be slightly true. Eleanor is proof of that. "You can't keep treating me like shit and kiss me afterwards! You can't say you are straight and keep kissing me! Go on, Louis. Tell me you only like girls and you never enjoyed one kiss we shared. Say it to my face." Louis stays silent, swallowing the lump in his throat. "I hate you, Styles." "Fake news, Tomlinson." Louis Tomlinson is your typical popular high school guy. He has a beautiful long term girlfriend Eleanor and his best friend Zayn he can always count on. Together with Eleanor, Zayn and Zayn's girlfriend Perrie they rule Doncaster high. Louis has it all: A beautiful girlfriend, popularity and a loving family. The only thing that is missing are good grades. That's exactly the reason why Louis participates to this exchange program to LA. Not that he is very excited about it. Harry Styles is an openly gay hipster boy. He has flashy sunglasses, floral shirts and cool bandana's keeping his hair out of his eyes when he paints. Harry loves art and believes that London is one of the most beautiful cities. That's why Harry applied to the London school of arts. Hoping to higher his chances to get in, Harry participates in an exchange program his school is having with another school in the UK. Harry couldn't be more excited to visit the country of his dreams and meeting new people, the social bird Harry is. Little did he know he would end up with a homophobic partner that tries to ruin his time in England.

In which Louis pretends to be someone he's not, Harry is oblivious, Zayn is suspicious, Liam is there for everyone and Niall is Niall. (or, the one where Louis pretends to be a girl online and catfishes the unsuspecting Harry, his unfortunately straight best friend. Louis sort of loves Harry, really, and he didn't mean for it to go this far.)

*** WARNING...THIS STORY CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF RAPE AND CHILD ABUSE.*** Part two of a trilogy. Part one Don't hurt me Daddy Part three shattered. Harry has been part of the Payne family since he was 8. His parents abused and neglected him, and were put in prison. Harry was adopted by his loving new family. This is the story of Harry's life, his sad past, and his, hopefully, bright future.

It all started with the headaches. Harry's fine, he thought just so so tired. My own rendition of the iconic Cold Blue Water fic.
