Chapter Text
The first day was awful and everyone was looking and whispering. Louis couldn't stand it and he had no idea how he would manage the rest of the year. He had quit his part in the football team so he didn't have to meet his friends, it was stupid 'cause they were Louis' friends too. But he was scared, he was scared they were on Mike's side. If they were Louis would get killed, that was for sure.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hand as he walked over to the table where his 'real' friends sat, the one's he really could count on; Zayn, Liam and Niall though there was someone else sitting there too. He had curly brown hair and green eyes, even though he was sitting Louis could tell he was really tall. Louis smiled lightly as his friends greeted him when he sat down.
"Hey Lou, this is Harry. He and his mom moved here for like a month ago or something." Niall said and the curly lad named Harry smiled at Louis showing off two dimples Louis had had no idea existed. Harry waved and said hi in a low dark voice. Louis just smiled at him before looking down at his food, not feeling any hunger. His appetite had been bad lately and his mom was worrying herself crazy. Louis pushed around the food on his plate, not eating but listening while his friends talked loudly. As he looked up again he noticed a pair of green eyes staring at him. When Harry noticed Louis' gaze he looked away quickly and Louis sighed mentally, obviously Harry knew what happened too.
The rest of the day passed quite slowly but at least Louis had most of his classes with either Niall, Zayn or Liam. People didn't stop staring and whispering though and Louis hated it but it wasn't until his last class someone from outside his group talked to him. It was Stan from the football team, one of the guys Louis had counted as a close friend but he was also the one who set up Louis with Mike.
Louis was getting his books out from his locker when Stan walked up.
"You're such a moron, getting Mike arrested for having sex with you? What the fuck is that!? Calling it a rape when you guys have fucked plenty of times! What is wrong with you?!" he screamed and Louis glared at him and slammed his locker shut.
"You have no idea what you're talking about so leave me the fuck alone!"
"I know exactly what I'm talking about! You got my friend arrested! You fucking ruined his life!" that's when Harry came and Louis lost it. He was the one who threw the first punch, hitting Stan in the face. Stan stumbled back a few steps before collecting himself again and then hell broke loose. Punches and kicks were thrown everywhere but Louis felt no pain, he only felt anger. He heard Harry's panicked voice telling them to stop and he heard the other students cheer on them. Louis didn't understand how but suddenly Stan had him pinned on the ground, straddling Louis. His eyes were dark with lust as he threw Louis on the bed climbing on top of him and pinning Louis' hands over his head. Louis screamed at him to stop but he was stronger and...
"STOP IT! HE'S PANICKING! STOP IT!" the hands let go of Louis and the extra weigh left him. Louis remained on the floor looking up at the ceiling. He tried to take deep breaths but he felt the panic tighten his chest, making his breaths come out in small pants. He closed his eyes and counted in his head, one -inhale-, two -exhale-, three -inhale-, four -exhale-, five -in-, six -out-, seven -in-, eight -out-, nine -in, ten -out-. Louis opened his eyes again and were once again met by the green ones that belonged to no one else than Harry. Harry gave Louis a weak smile and reached a pale hand towards Louis. Louis took it with a little hesitation and let Harry help him stand up.
"Do you want to go to the school nurse?" Louis shook his head and noticed that almost everyone had left for class by now. That was when he started to feel the pain in his face and stomach.
"No but um don't you have class now?"
"It doesn't matter I wasn't going to just leave you while you had a panic attack." Louis gave Harry a small smile and nodded.
"Okay, would you mind following me to the bathroom so I can clean up my face?" Louis asked and Harry smiled.
"Lead the way."
