14 years ago…

Harry was on the playground when he fell off and cut his leg. He screamed out in pain, but his mother was too busy on the phone to even care that her son’s leg is bleeding quite badly.

“Are you alright?” a little brown haired boy asks Harry. Harry shakes his head no and the little boy takes a look at his leg.

“Don’t cry; let me go get my mum.” He runs over and Harry watches as the little boy runs over to a lady with long brown hair holding a baby. He tugs on her shirt and he points to Harry and her faces goes shocked. She quickly gives the baby to I guess her husband before grabbing a bag.

She quickly runs over to Harry and she takes one look at his leg and sighs. “Alright, this may sting a little.” She takes the cleaning solution and cleans it off and she is stunned, he needs the hospital.

“Where is your mom?”

He points to a lady who is talking on the phone, and she leaves the two boys to talk to Harry’s mum.

“So what’s your name?”

“Harry.”

“I like it, the names Louis, but you can call me Lou.” They hear shouting and Jay comes over before picking up Harry.

“Come on I have to take you to the get fixed up.”

“What about my mum?”

“Don’t worry about her right now; we need to get you fixed up.”

Harry just nods against her chest, while Louis slowly follows behind them.

12 years ago…

“Harry! Where are you?” Louis yells outside on the porch.

“Jesus Lou, I’m right here.” Harry says running up the stairs.

“Mum said dinner is ready.”

“Alright, let’s go eat then, I’m starved.”

You see ever since the day they met two years ago, Harry’s mother didn’t want him anymore. She never even picked him up from the hospital when he had to get 30 stitches in his leg. Jay brought him to where he lives and she basically had put all of his things on the porch, basically saying you’re free to go. Harry broke down in Jay’s arms, but she set him down before knocking and having a wordy argument with Anne. In the end, Jay took Harry as hers. Only having to return for Anne to sign her rights for Harry over to Jay.

It took Harry awhile to take them as his family. But they did welcome him with open arms, and he did get 5 younger siblings. Louis was born in December of 1994, Harry was February; he as well gained 4 younger sisters that treated him like their own brother. He was finally home.

10 years ago…

Ever since that day he met Louis, he started looking at boys differently, and he never understood it. So he brushed it off as being a bit curious.

“Harry, I’ve been calling you for the past five minutes. Mum wants to know if you want to go to the arcade.” Lou asks.

“Ohh, yeah I’m sorry. I would love to go.” Harry gets off the bed and follows Lou out. Only if Lou knew what Harry was looking at, things would have been different. How?

Well, Lou was having the same problem. Ever since that day, he started seeing things differently, also brushing it off as the curious stage. Harry was like a brother to him, he didn’t want to make things weird for him.

8 years ago…

11 year old Harry finally got himself his first girlfriend, her name was Hunter. She was the sweetest girl you could ever meet. She had the deepest brown eyes and the purest smile. And a laugh that could make the toughest guy melt. She was everything Harry was looking for in a girl.

11 year old Louis also found himself his first girlfriend, her name was Emily. She was the smartest girl in class. She had the greenest eyes, even sometimes greener than Harry’s, you could ever see. She knew how to make Louis happy, and Harry was happy that he found someone. The thing was, she was a girl version of Harry, literally. Right down to the came cheekiness Harry endowed.

But, Harry didn’t see this, but Hunter did. But, she didn’t care, all she cared was that she had Harry and Louis had someone. If you’re wondering, they are all the best of friends, and even during that year both couples break up, they stay as very close friends.

6 years ago…

Finally Harry has admitted to himself that he is in fact gay. The first person he tells is Hunter and she is all too proud that he can finally come out. She knew all along, she even knew when they were dating, but she wanted him to realize it when he did, she didn’t want to force him into knowing.

That same night when he came out to his ‘adoptive’ family, they were all so proud he was able to tell them. They didn’t care that he was different; they will still love him either way. That night it got Louis into thinking hard.

Then a few months after, Louis came out to Harry. Harry was shocked but what made it odder was what happened next. Louis crashed his lips to Harry’s but he was too stunned that he didn’t kiss back. So Louis broke away and ran up to his room and cried himself until it was dinner time. He then came out to his family, and his mother’s reaction was priceless.

“Took you long enough.” She simply and honestly stated. Well then he thought. Neither spoke about the kiss ever.

Even though they were both around 13 years old, they knew that they never had and never will have feelings for girls. They don’t even know why they dated Hunter and Emily.

When Louis came out to Emily she had the same reaction as his mother.

Well, that was an eventful year.

4 years ago…

When they came out to the school, some were excepting, while others not so much.

They would come home every day with new bruises on each other. They helped each other clean their cuts, not telling their parents. Because god knows what their father would do to those kids.

But, they hoped that the bullying would die down, but it never did. It got worse.

One day when they were coming home from school, they were jumped. They were beat so badly they ended up in the hospital. If it wasn’t for Hunter and Emily walking home, no one would have found them hours later. When they stumbled upon the two unconscious, Emily had to console a hysterical Hunter while and ambulance came for them.

When they woke up, they had no memory of the attack. They didn’t remember until 2 weeks later when they return. Harry on crutches and Louis in an arm cast. When they took one look at Logan and Michael everything came back to them. They called their mom and told her everything, and she told them to go to a teacher and tell them what they just told her and she’s calling the police.

That day Logan and Michael, both age 15 were both arrested and expelled from the school system. Some people say their parents; they were twins, sent them off to boot camp. But no one knows for sure. Once they were gone, no one had a problem when them being gay. Those along with Hunter and Emily became the new popular kids.

2 years ago…

Over the past two years boyfriends came and gone. No one stayed with the two boys. They didn’t care because they were looking for someone to realize something, but nothing ever happened.

One day, they added a new edition to their group. Her name was Skye she was a beauty. She had shoulder length brown hair with blonde highlights. And brown eyes that made you go helpless when you looked into them. She was added to their group due to some uncertain circumstances. You see her parents weren’t the best. She would always come to school sickly thin, he clothes hung off her body; it wasn’t pretty. So one day Harry was walking with Hunter and they witnessed her passing out. When she woke up, they made her the biggest meal she ever saw. The school nurse called the police and her parents were arrest for child neglect. And it took forever for convincing, but Hunter’s parents agreed to help and took Skye in.

Ever since then, they were all basically attached at the hip, ruling the school halls.

Present Day…

“Harry c’mon we’re going to be late! The girls are already there!” Louis yells from the steps of their flat.

“Coming!” Harry said as he came down the stairs.

They make their way to their car.

“So, where are we going again?” They were at a stop light, so Louis turns his head and before answer his eyes bulge out of head. He takes his car off of parked and he moves as fast as he could but it was too late, the car already hit them.

Their car rolled and rolled down a hill. Stopping in a ditch.

Luckily the air bags deployed or it would have been worse.

They both were knocking unconscious; it’s a good thing there were people around. Someone carefully made their way down the ditch to see what the ambulance was dealing with, he takes one look and he sees blood trickling down Louis head and Harry’s arm bent in an awkward position. “Shit.” He mumbles, before stripping off his shirt and carefully supports Lou’s head before pressing it to help stop some of the bleeding, before calling 911.

Hunter, Emily and Skye got a call and they were all in hysterics, they could comprehend what they were listening too. Skye only being the calm one called their parents and told them what happened.

Louis was put into medically induced coma, they were afraid the swelling in his brain would cause damage. Harry was just unconscious, he wasn’t waking up. It took 2 weeks until Harry finally regained consciousness, but when he went to go speak nothing came out. He burst into tears, thinking he was a freak. But, Hunter told him that she loves him no matter what.

But, she got an idea and grabbed a pen and paper and shoves it toward him and writes down:

How’s Louis?

She just shakes her head and tries to compose herself, “He hit his head pretty hard, he’s been in coma ever since they brought him in. His brain started to swell up, they’ve been gradually reducing it, but he’s not stable enough to wake up.” Harry shakes his head not believing it.

Bring me to him, please?

“Yeah, let me get the nurse.” She goes to get the nurse and he just now notices the cast on his left arm, he wonders why he didn’t notice it before.

The nurse helps get him in the wheelchair and Hunter wheels him to Lou’s room. And he enters to see and exhausted Emily, Skye and his parents looking on to Lou’s motionless body. They all look up when they hear them enter.

His parents run over and engulf him in a hug, almost suffocating him. Then Skye came over and gave him her hug. Then it was Emily, who was already crying. He opens his arms and she slowly walks over and sits on his lap and cries into his chest.

“Harry, why haven’t you talked?” Jay asks and he freezes.

“When he woke up, he tried to speak, but nothing came out. I don’t know what happened.” Hunter said.

That day the doctors tested Harry and everything came back negative they didn’t know what went wrong. Until a psychiatrist diagnosed him with traumatic mutism, where a traumatic experience prevents someone from speaking.

After a week of Harry being awake, Lou finally comes out of a coma.

“Mum, I can’t see. Everything is black.” Lou says panicking. A team of doctors are soon rushing in and run all sorts of tests. They receive news and it’s bad. He will be blind for the rest of his life, when his head hit the side of the car it messed up connections, thus rendering him blind. They could go in and try and fix it, but it may never work.

After the left, Lou speaks up, “Where’s Harry?”

“Now, before you see him, we have to tell you something.”

He starts to panic, “He can’t speak.”

“Why?”

“The situation of him getting in the accident, he was diagnosed with social mutism, he may never speak again.”

“Then how will I be able to communicate with him if I can’t see what he has to say?”

“You’ll figure out something.”

“Harry is here, we’re all going to leave you two alone. We will be back.”

“Alright.”

I feel someone’s presence over me, and a few drops on my face, I pull back the covers, climbs into the bed and cries against my chest. “Don’t cry Harry, it’s your fault. I’m still here, and you are too.” He nods his head.

“Now, we need to think about communication.” Then I feel someone tugging on my arm and I feel something on my arm.

Then the letters of:

We could communicate like how Helen Keller did.

“That’s a brilliant idea Haz.”

He nods his head, and I take my hands and feel his face and his has the biggest smile ever.

“Don’t worry Haz; I won’t give up on helping you. You have my promise, I won’t ever give up. As well, I don’t think Emi, Hunter or Skye will either.” Got that. He nods under my arms.

All that went through Lou’s head was, I really do hope I can fix him.
