My Rock by sweatpantsandfringe

TW/CW: Self-harm and suicide and sexual content A/N: This is my first fic it was originally published in 2012 on Movellas. I give it a trigger warning because it deals with self-harm and suicide attempts and thoughts. complete version Louis Tomlinson is a senior in college. He's popular, outgoing, and always willing to help anyone in need. Harry Styles is an introverted sophomore who receives constant harassment and bullying because of who he is. He doesn't fit in, he's shy, has no friends, and no real family to confide in; the fact that he's gay doesn't help matters. He's just a blip on everyone's radar, floating by, but a punching bag to those who loved reminding him how much of a loser he really was. When Harry was hospitalized months before for a suicide attempt, Louis was assigned to him through the Big Brother program. Will Louis be able to help Harry? Will Harry be able to let Louis in?

What'll happen as the pair grow up? Or the one where Louis has undiagnosed ADHD, and Harry has a speech impediment.

Starry Starry Night by PixieMoon28

"Say something Lou... please. Say something..." "Football and Gay don't go together, Harry. Why can't you understand that I can't give you what you want from me? I... I don't even feel..." he paused. For a fleeting second, I was hopeful. I waited for him to finish the sentence. "I don't feel the same about you, Harry". Louis finally said, his tone mundane. He had his back turned to me so I couldn't read his face when he said this. I wanted to look into his blue eyes when he said this. He's lying. He had to be lying. "Lou please... Look at me, Lou...", I was practically begging him. I felt my chest constrict. I couldn't breathe again. I tried to take deep breaths in, but I couldn't feel air filling up my lungs. "Lou you promised you won't leave... You promised you would always be there for me". Tears were pouring out of my eyes uncontrollably and it blurred my vision. I tried to wipe them off with the back of my hand. I was a mess. When my vision cleared, I could see him starting to walk away. "Don't go Louis. You don't have to love me back, Lou. Just please don't leave. Let's be friends?" A weird prickling feeling was spreading through my body, flowing through my veins. It was numbing my hands, feet, my entire body. I was now on my knees. He was leaving me. My Louis was leaving me. "It hurts Lou. I would rather die than feel this way". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harry Styles is spellbound by the blue-eyed football star of Crestwood Academy, Louis Tomlinson. He is happy to finally have found something more entrancing than music and art. Louis Tomlinson finds Harry, the new student, quite intriguing.

Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. Two boys who have hopeless crushes on one another, despite never having a conversation. Their lives are far from perfect, and what makes it even worse, is that they don't have each other. Louis has taken notice to the boy with curly hair who works at the bakery. He is completely smitten with Harry and when he finds out that the feelings may be returned, he can barely believe it. However, Louis is scared. Everything in his life is horrible, and Louis is afraid that if he tries to get with Harry, he will be ripped away from him. Harry found the small, blue-eyed boy running through his mind constantly. He always knew that he was gay, but was never one to be open about it, mainly because he craved to be accepted. Harry wants nothing more than to be with Louis, yet the fear of judgement holds him back. It's obvious to everyone that these two boys were meant for each other. But Louis and Harry are afraid of losing everything. The sad truth is, not everyone gets their happily ever after. ---------- WARNING: Mentions of rape, mentions of self-harm, abuse, swearing, and a whole lot of gayness.
