Harry sat at the bar of the kitchen in the apartment. Staring at the blank email box he had yet to fill with words regarding his passion. He had yet to fill it out but he didn't know how to explain it. Especially to Mrs.Bramble who looked at him with such pride for being her best dancer in the studio. Sure someone had probably already earned that title by now.

I was the best student, she thought of me as her own, how bad could this be come on Harry. Harry thought.

He bounced William gently on his knee. Louis was at work and would be for the next few hours. He figured since Louis is gone he might be able to focus on what he wants and not Louis. It hasn't helped much though. The only words he's gotten down are Dear Mrs. Bramle,. Nothing more.

"Okay little man mummy needs to get himself out of it and type this email." Harry said to William who was sucking on his fist.

He began writing and finished it. He urged her to contact him by his phone number or by the email to which he sent that one through. He went back to what he was doing before he suddenly wanted to get back into his dancing. Sitting on the couch and starting back up the movie he was watching. He laid William down on the blanket beside him on the couch so he could wiggle and squirm as much as he liked and be comfortable.

They had gotten back the day before from Wolverhampton they did exactly what Harry wanted and went straight home. It was nice but still didn't seem himself and he really hadn't even before all this. It worried Harry a good bit, he wasn't going to make an appointment for a specialist unless Louis consented because that wouldn't be right.

*beep*

😘💙

The boss is being a bitch making me work overtime I love you boys 💚😘

It's okay we love you daddy 😊and we're proud of your hard work. Can't wait until your home xxxx mwuahh 😘

He saw that Louis read it but understood he was at work and couldn't reply back. There was so much on Harry's mind. Ballet, Louis and his oddness. Well that wasn't a lot but it sure felt like it. He wanted to shower but William was being relentless with going down for a nap. If Harry put him down he would start crying. It was frustrating.

"I think we need to go for a walk mister you just won't go down stubborn like your daddy." Harry said kissing the top of his head.

He placed William in his stroller putting a light blanket over him before pushing it out the apartment. He quickly pushed the stroller back in remembering he can go for a run now so he quickly changed into his joggers and sneakers. He decided to go to the college and run the trail he knew and loved.

The trail was beautiful not a thing changed about it. As he walked some guys yelled from behind him to hold up. They some how looked familiar but their appearance told Harry he should just keep going. Something kept him there his feet planted as he stood firmly in front of William for safety.

I'm honestly scared these guys look like they are from that frat Louis was in. Walk Harry walk I told myself. I couldn't move.

"Oi pretty boy." one said now in front of me.

"What do you want?" I questioned nervously but I didn't let that show.

"Nothing," the other one smiled in a way that said go now "who's baby?"

He veered his head around Harry so he could see the baby in the stroller. William was asleep.

"I don't see how that's any of your concern," I said moving in front of his vision "if your here to start shit feel free to fuck off." Harry said sternly.

They both laughed and it disgusted me.

"How's our Louis doing?" the one who yelled at me asked.

"I'm not answering anything, who the hell are you?" I questioned the knot in my stomach grew tighter.

I wasn't going to let my fear show.

"Hunter," the one pointed to the black haired boy beside him "and I'm Zachery." he smiled widely.

I'm absolutely terrified I don't know what they are going to do, or what they want. I swallowed the dryness in my throat.

"Leave me alone." I said firmly.

Harry turned ready to leave but one of them stopped him putting his hand on his shoulder holding it firmly.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled angry and jerked out of his grip.

"Ooo got a feisty one here Hunter I can see why Louis likes you so much. He always liked those sassy and feisty ones." Zachery said lowly.

"I said leave me alone, what do you want!" I yelled loudly.

Where the hell are all the other runners? Harry looked around anxious for anyone to come save him.

"What are you looking for?" Hunter asked.

"Nothing." I lied.

I wish I could fight them but I'm out numbered. I can't even fight that well. I'm stuck... but wait I can run probably faster then them. If I grab up William they will know I'm going to try something shit!

"We just wanna know how our Louis is doing." Zachery repeated with a shrug.

"Why do you care?" Harry avoided answering any of their questions.

"Cause we heard he knocked someone up and we wanted to know if it's true." Hunter said before Zachery could get a word out.

"I'm not answering anything and you should let me go peacefully this is harassment and kidnap if you hold me here against my will! I'll call the cops." I bit my bottom lip nervously.

They both laughed loudly.

"Oh yeah that Liam lad he was great we heard he killed himself. Weren't you two best friends?" Zachery said.

Run Harry just run you take William and run! Liams voice rang through his head like an alarm loud and clear.

Go I got you! His voice came again.

Harry spun catching them off guard pushing the stroller in one swift move he ran as fast as he could.

"They are going to find us Liam then they are going to hurt us." Harry said out loud running he could hear them running behind them.

Don't worry about them. I'll protect you. I could hear him talking but I couldn't see him.

Protect me? Harry thought. That's a load of shit it a voice can't protect me.

I fall stumbling over a tree root my ankle rolled over the root causing it to twist.

"Liam help me." Harry cried hearing them get closer.

Get up Harry I can only keep them away but for seconds. Liam voice rang through again.

"Damn it I can't move protect me like you said!" Harry reached for his phone in the cup holder of the stroller dialing Louis as fast as his fingers could move.

It was too late however the boys caught up to him. Louis answered.

I'm sorry Harry two against the strength of one I couldn't. Liam whispered.

"Hello!" Louis said through the receiver frantically.

Harry stood to his feet with all the strength he had. He mustered up all the anger that boiled inside of him and fought. He lunged with one swift jump onto Zachery punching him as hard as he could knocking him out. He turned to Hunter who was shocked his mouth gaped open as he looked at his knocked out friend on the ground.

"Now I said leave us the hell alone and I meant it!" Harry huffed.

His chest was rising up and down. He limped towards the stroller that had William inside who was crying. He took him out and cradled him.

"Lou I'm okay." I said through the receiver tears streaming down my cheeks as I watched Hunter help Zachery up and away.

"No your not okay what the hell happened! I heard them assholes, what happened! Where the hell are you?" Louis said.

"I'm at the trail with William on the steps leading to the car park. I've hurt my ankle." I said.

"I'm on my way. Stay there don't move." I could hear the roar of his engine in the background.

Harry felt the rush of sadness come over him, William wasn't crying anymore. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't of fought them. Would they beat the hell of him then take William? What would they have done if he didn't stop him? It frightened him.

"Hey, are you okay?" a girls voice came from behind him making him jump.

I recognized her from Ballet class it was Gabby.

"I just got into a little scuffle with some people..." I trailed off.

"Oh gee your knee is pretty banged up," she said softly looking at my bloody, bruised knee "I can take you to the nurses?" she offered.

"No, I don't want to have to explain a shit story to someone who would probably laugh about it with how I got these injuries in the first place." I said trying not to cry.

"Well let me help you then come on." Gabby said.

"Don't pretend to be my friend. I've had enough bull shit in my life for everyone on this campus to have their fair share." I said sadly.

She sighed and looked at me with sorrow.

"I'm not pretending Harry I've heard everything about you from everyone in this damned place. It's horrible I know you don't want pity but that's not what I'm giving. I'm here as your friend and giving an ear for listening even a shoulder to cry on." Gabby said.

I nodded taking in what she just said.

"My boyfriend is coming he told me not to move from here." I said.

"Okay I'll wait with you." Gabby said.

"I don't want you getting picked on because you were hanging around with some boy who got knocked up." I said worrying.

Gabby had dark brown hair, her eyes were brown too, and she was pretty.

"Is this the baby?" Gabby smiled at William who was asleep against Harry's chest.

"Yes." I said simply.

"What's his name?"

"William."

"I mean his full name." Gabby smiled.

"William Grey Tomlinson." I said with a short sigh.

"Your leg is still bleeding please let me help you before you pass out." Gabby said.

I looked at my knee and it was in fact still bleeding and it had been for a bit now. I didn't know where Louis was or how close he was but for the sake of my health I'm going to let her help me.

"Okay." I said with a nod.

"Let me put him in." Gabby reached for William.

She laid him down in the stroller covering him with his blanket. I could hear the thunder rumble in the sky. It was going to rain.

"Come on." she said just as it started raining.

I pushed the stroller with the support of Gabby under my arm. We made it to the studio where she had a first aid kit.

"I haven't been in here for ages." I said looking around the room as she dug for things in the kit.

"I wish you were still in here." Gabby said getting some alcohol out.

"I miss it I emailed Mrs. Bramble about wanting to come back." I said.

My phone rings Louis' name pops up.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Where are you I told you not to move." Louis said.

"At the studio getting cleaned up by a friend." I said.

"I'll be right there." Louis said and hung up.

I jerk my leg back because of the sting of the alcohol on the cut. With in a few minutes Louis arrives just as I'm getting the last wrap of the brace on my ankle. Gabby did a great job bandaging me up. Louis is soaked from the rain.

"You know the drill with the ankle Harry, cause of all those times in Ballet elevate it and ice it and you should be good to go the next day." Gabby smiled gathering up her things from the floor.

"Thank you." I said with a smile.

"No problem here's my number if you need anything else just text or call." she said before leaving.

"Who was that?" Louis questioned.

"A new friend she found me on the steps and helped me. She was in my ballet class." I say.

"Oh you ready to go?" Louis asked simply.

Harry was confused by his actions. He thought Louis would go right to hugging him and apologize for what happened. Nope.

"Yeah I guess so." I said grabbing the stroller for support.

"Okay." he said walking out in front.

"Louis I can't walk with just the stroller if I could I'd be home right now, I need help." I say.

"Sorry." Louis said hooking an arm around my waist before supporting me.

I give him a nod.

"You can drive right?" Louis questioned.

"Yeah it's my left ankle not my right so I'm good on that part." I say.

"When I get you home I gotta go back to work because I told my boss it was a family emergency and I needed just an hour and I got like all of 20 minutes time to get back to work or I'm in deep shit." he explained.

Harry got into his car letting Louis put William in the back and put the stroller in the trunk.

"That's okay." I lied.

"Okay." he said and kissed my cheek through the rolled down window.

"My cars getting wet." I reminded him.

"Oops." Louis said going to his car.

He followed me all the way to the apartment and helped me to the flat. Kissed me and left just as soon as we got there.

I grabbed my phone texting him quickly.

I need to talk to you when you get home if I'm not asleep when you get back. I love you x

Okay everything alright? x

Honestly no.

I was being totally honest with him it wasn't okay. At least not on his end I was still pretty shook up from the events earlier. I was worried about Louis more than anything he was changed and I didn't know why.

"Mummy stinks and you need a bath too let's go bathe." Harry said to William.

I fixed his bath and washed him. He went out without a fight straight to sleep in his cot in our room. I myself took shower and laid down. Harry was asleep when Louis got back but he didn't know.

"Hey, what was it that you needed to talk about?" Louis said sliding in beside Harry.

"Well Lou it's partially about you." Harry said tiredly.

"Oi Harry come on if it's only about me can't it wait until tomorrow?" Louis said.

"No because I don't want to keep putting it off." Harry said flipping on the lamp.

He sat up so he could see Louis whose arm was wrapped around his waist.

"I think you need to go see a doctor Louis." Harry said.

"For what?" Louis questioned scrunching his brows.

"For those sudden mood changes Louis, it's worrying me."

"I'm okay." Louis lied.

"You call going from happy to sad in under an hour okay?" Harry raised his brows.

"If I go to the doctor what would they do?" Louis asked.

"They will be able to tell if your ill or not." Harry explained.

"And if I am."

"If you are they will give you some medicine to help you."

"I don't want any medicine if all it's going to do is make me feel something I don't really feel." Louis said irritated.

Harry shook his head.

"Feelings are never fake Lou," I said with a sigh "you can't just push them away and let them get worse like they are now."

Louis looked at Harry, he knew he needed help he just didn't want to admit it. Help, before it got even worse because it already was bad.

Louis head was hanging down he was sniffling quietly.

"Why am I so fucked up?" he cried.

Harry shook his head feeling the pain for his boy crying in front of him.

"I don't think your fucked up Lou, I think your just broken." Harry said softly.

"I am fucked up I've hurt your feelings too many times."

I grabbed his hands to which he jerked away from.

"Ow." he said.

I flipped on the light on my night table so I could see.

"What the hell have you done Louis?" I ask seeing the bruises and bloody cuts on his knuckles.

"No one attacks you Harry or our son and gets away with it." he said in a low, sad voice.

"But Louis I did hit one of them and I got away so do you realize you could go to jail?" I said disappointed.

"So your upset that I beat the shit out of someone for hurting you? Look at you Harry you have a bruised cut knee and a sprang ankle, because I wasn't there to protect you two." Louis said raising his brows.

"You can't protect us from everything Louis. The world is inevitable." Harry said, "my ankle is fine just a bit of ice on it did the trick and my knee that will heal with no problem."

"So it's totally fine that they hurt you but it's not that I gave them what they deserve?!" Louis said now annoyed, "Jesus I thought you would have been thankful."

"I am Louis I am! I can't bare the thought of you getting hurt because of me! Those boys are probably planning god knows what now because you beat the hell out of them." Harry said.

"I can't take this anymore!" Louis cried "I fight for you, the damn doctors your dying for me to see! I can't take it anymore."

Louis cried harder and balled up like a fetus inside. His knees were hugged to his chest and his head was rested on top. Harry began crying at the sight. It broke him to pieces to see Louis like this.

"I don't need help from them doctors Harry, it's the people that hurt me." his voice was broken.

Harry slowly laid down beside him and wrapped his arms around him tightly.

"I'm sorry Lou you've been screaming for me to just help you and all I've done is just push you back throwing you into something else." I said feeling my heart ache for deserting him when all he really needed was me, I was too blind to see that.

"I'm so sorry." I say again kissing the crevice of his neck.

He turns over placing his lips on mine. I melt into his kiss he slowly kisses me we both moan and the kiss gets deeper. I straddle his lap and attack his lips. He lets out a hard moan and grabs my hips holding them tightly.

In minutes the two of us are completely naked panting for pleasure. Louis slides on a condom then into me without warning.

I scream out with a pleasure but at the painful pinch too. I relax as he slowly slides in and out. He thrusts one good time and I buck my hips off the bed he begins moving faster and I fist his hair.

"Oh l-Louis." I moan into his neck.

I reach for my length but he pulls my hands away pinning them down with his hands above my head. This sex is different from ones we've done before. It was rougher then usual but Harry loved it.

"Shit Lou I'm going to cum." I say.

When I say this he moves in a way that drives me over the edge seconds after I cum.

"Mmm Louis!" I moan as I come undone.

He kisses my neck over and over as I finish before he too cums all over my stomach. He falls next to me boy of us panting breathlessly.

"We should probably get your hands cleaned up so they don't get infected." I said after a few minutes of gathering ourselves.

We lay their in a heated sweaty mess. What we always do after sex, cuddle until we gather ourselves.

"My hands will be fine." Louis says trying to start have a go again.

"No come on." I said smacking him playfully.
