IM NOT DEAD!!! WOOHOO!! AND IM UPDATING!! WOOHOO!! I'm sorry for the lob. Wait with moving and all that shit. I'm back and I don't have writers block! Yay! Let's get to the chapter! It's gonna be an angsty one so get ready!

Liam's POV (bet ya didn't expect it)
"Ni? Are you alright? Harry did you hurt him?" I asked. I turned to look at Harry and gave him a glare. If he hurt Niall so help me—

"He didn't hurt me Liam" Niall's voice was shaking. He sounded like he was about to cry. What the hell happened to him? He was so carefree and gentle and talkative. He hasn't been that way with any of us lads these days except Zayn. And the night Zayn invited him to the football game. He was now very quiet and reserved, barely talking to anyone but Harry and Zayn. And according to his mum, he's going to a remedial camp for gay kids? Its never bothered me the way that Niall dressed. I miss the way he would walk in school wearing a flower crown, skinny jeans and a big fluffy sweater. All of us lads knew he was questioning but we never called him out on it. He was perfect and then something changed....

"Then who did Niall? Was it Zayn?" I hear Harry's voice, now soft and caring.

"NO! Of course not! Zayn has never EVER hurt me!" Niall was in Harry's face. He was yelling now. "Okay geez Ni, no need to get your knickers in a twist." Harry laughed lightly but Niall didn't even crack a smile.

"I-I.. I- Im-I'm so- so-sorry.. I- I-didn't me-mean to yell... I'm scared Liam.." Niall mumbled. It was barely audible. Someone hurt our Niall and we were gonna find out who did it and beat the shit out of the bastard.
"Scared of what Ni? You don't have to be.. we're here for you lad.."
And then he was on me. In my lap crying and muttering things I couldn't understand. I could make out a couple of words but the rest sounded like bloody gibberish. I quickly went to console him.
"Shhh it's alright lad" I was cut off by Niall saying, "BUT ITS NOT LIAM!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! I WAS BLOODY RAPED AND YOURE TELLING ME IT'S OKAY?!?!" He was red in the face and panting, tears streaming down his face. My thoughts were cut off by Harry.

"YOU WERE WHAT?!?!" Niall paled. His face was blank and unreadable.

"Raped." He was only whispering now. He sounded so broken. My mouth hung open. Who would dare do this to him? Why him?! It could've been anyone else and some sick bastard decided to— I shiver. I can't even think about the pain he's in.

"Ni.. who.. who did this?" Harry's voice was raspy and barely audible. I looked toward him and he looked his as bad as Niall did. Tears staining his cheeks, red face, splotchy skin, sniffling occasionally. I didn't even register the liquid flowing down my face. I was crying. I pulled Niall into a hug. He was still on my lap having not got up from his previous breakdown. He didn't even flinch. He just wrapped his body around me and cried. We sat there for who knows how bloody long just letting him cry and crying ourselves, none of us daring to speak.
Harry finally broke the silence by saying, "I don't want you to leave Niall.. we're best mates. If you leave, I don't know if the boys and I will be the same." A tear fell from his eye. Poor lad. All of us would miss Niall.

"Maybe you visit me while I'm in that hell hole? I dunno. It's all just fucked up and I don't want to leave you lads behind. My brother was sent there too. He was happy.. and then when he came back, it was like he had the happiness drained from him. I don't want that lads! I can't change! I'm gay and my mum hates me for it!" He begins to cry again. I hate seeing him like this. He lifts his head from my chest only to sniff and say,

"Come on. If me mum finds out I'm not packing she will ban me from seeing you two as well. As much as I don't want to I don't really have a choice."

That one statement broke my heart. Niall won't be the same when he comes back from that hell hole.

I gave Harry a look and we began helping him pack.

~ Time Skip a couple hours brought to you by Louis' ass~

(Still Liam's POV)
After Niall had his bag packed, the two of us (see what I did there?) managed to convince Niall to come downstairs with us to watch some TV. This was not going to end well but it never hurts to try. Here goes nothing. When we reached the bottom of the stairs we were not so pleasantly greeted by Maura.

"Oh hello boys. Is Niall all packed?" She asked sickly sweet. She's a bitch. A real fucking bitch.

"Yes Ms. Horan. We came down with Niall to watch the telly."

"That's good! It's about time he left his room." She said, voice dripping with venom. She shot a glare at Niall before walking past.

After a good half hour of Telly, Maura insisted we needed to leave. Niall needed to get up early in the morning. Hoo-fucking-ray.

Niall walked us to the door. He was pale and looked like he was gonna cry again. "Bye Niall. We will see if we can visit. We won't tell the other lads we promise." I say, planning to keep my word as I Harry promises the same. Niall cracks a smile.

"Goodnight lads. I'll see you when the first visit day is. I love you both. I'll have my phone so I can call and text you and keep you updated." His voice was laced with worry. Harry and I pulled him into a hug squeezing him tight before letting go and shutting the door.

As I climbed into my car, I let the tears run free again. After calming down I drove away.

"I love you too. More than I should. Please forgive me my friend."
