"Harry, I-I'm so sorry..." Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis' soul, it's so hard, nearly impossible.

That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself.

But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty "I'm so sorry" that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn't at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it.

✚☤✚

a fated story of two broken and battered boys who barely survived the unimaginable and how the love of one little brave girl defies all the odds and somehow puts them back together.

"I said I love you," he repeats, this time softer, not as a yell anymore. A single tear streaks down the other boy's cheek when he shrugs his shoulders. "I wished you would." - Harry is a 16 year old boy who's always been the easiest target for everyone. After his friend Niall introduces him to Louis, few things go wrong. Harry falls in love with the wrong gender. Accepting it is one thing, but dealing with the consequences is another. And suddenly, he's 14 again, sitting on the cold bathroom floor. All he wishes for is to get what he deserves. Except he's not sure what that is yet. Louis, on the other hand, has recently gotten out of his first ever relationship and had to switch schools right away because of his ex. It surely had some impact on him, definitely not the best one ever. He struggles with his emotions. And maybe worries too much when it comes to money. But the second he lays his blue eyes on the curly haired boy, there's a spark of hope. That maybe someone might actually love him for him. Which is all he's ever wished for. Will their wishes come true? - 194,2k words. TW: Contains themes some readers might find difficult. Such as: - suicidal thoughts, - attempt of committing, - physical (+ sexual)/verbal abuse, - self-harm (remembered), - drugs, - alcohol, - blood, - death (remembered), - body shaming, - manipulation, - financial abuse/coercive control (remembered), - smut...

What's this story about? ╰┈➤ [Zayn centered + ZOUIS ship] Zayn Malik was a mess. Everyone thought he was psycho, crazy, insane. His parents decided they couldn't take it anymore, sending him off to a mental ward, no further questions asked. Among other struggling souls, including an empathetic counselor and three patients grappling with their own battles. But whilst he was in the ward, he discovered something. The ward wasn't what it seemed, it was corrupted and dangerous. He knew he needed to get out. And to make matters worse, he did the stupidest thing any mentally ill person can do. He fell in love. Character roles? ╰┈➤ Liam Payne is a dedicated worker and counselor at the facility, striving to make a difference while carrying unseen burdens of his own. Harry Styles battles anorexia, struggles in his search for control. Louis Tomlinson is haunted by self-harm and suicidal ideations, masking his pain behind his familiar defiance. Niall Horan lives with psychological fantasia and anxiety, often caught between reality and the vivid stories his mind weaves. At the heart of it all is Zayn Malik, whose antisocial personality disorder and substance use disorder paint him as distant, dangerous and unpredictable. TWS? ╰┈➤ themes of self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, substance use, psychological trauma, heavy language, violence, and sensitive mental health depictions. Moments of comfort, friendship, and romance will be present, but the story will not shy away from the darker aspects of their struggles. ╰┈➤ Last but definately not least, rest in peace, Liam Payne. 🕊️

"H-Harry please!" I cried, my hands placed protectively in front of my face. His eyes darkened, and he grabbed my wrists, pinning them against the wall. His breath rolled over my face, the faint scent of alcohol rolling up my nose. "Shut up." He growled. His short nails dug into my arm and I winced in pain. He released me, and grabbed a handful of my hair instead. I shrieked in pain as he threw me to the ground. Tears pricked my eyes and I squeezed my eyes shut. "Get up." He said. I opened my eyes, and scrambled to my feet quickly. He grabbed the front of my shirt to pull me closer, leaning down to my level. His eyes burned straight through mine. Chills went down my spine and I bit my bottom lip out of fear. "How many times do I have to tell you? You. Are. Mine." -------------------------- In a complex narrative, where Harry wrestles with the voices of schizophrenia, the story unfolds with uncertainty. The question lingers: Will Harry succumb to the relentless voices, potentially breaking down Louis, or will Louis summon the strength to confront the darkness that threatens him and stand resolute in his own defense? The outcome rests upon the delicate interplay of their intertwined fates, a story of mental struggles and strength yet to fully reveal itself.
