It's first period when Louis is pulled out of Harry's classroom by the principal and a few officers. His blue eyes are wide and he can't help but stare at Harry like a deer caught in headlights.

Harry looks at him with an unreadable expression, his features soft. It's unreadable to anyone else but the two.

Harry gives Louis a silent thumbs up, pressing his hand against his waist to hide it from the others in the room.

Louis takes a deep breath and rips his eyes from Harry as he steps out of the classroom, following the men to the front office. If his body is lightly shaking and he's staring to sweat, he hopes only he can notice it.

"Do you know why we have pulled you, Mr. Tomlinson?" Mr. Corden asks, looking at the boy as he takes his sest in front of him. Louis can't exactly place the look in his eyes, but he thinks it's pity.

"No." Louis whispers, shaking his head as he focuses his gaze on keyboard laid on Mr. Corden's desk.

"Yesterday,I had a student come to me and tell me that Mr. Styles has been...has been sexually taking advantage of you." Louis feels sick, he swears he has never been so scared in his life.

Louis shakes his head, looking at his principal with wide eyes, "N-No, There's nothing going on between us."

"You don't have to be scared to tell us, we are here to help you, Louis." Mr. Corden says more pointedly, "We also have a picture that shows the two
of you involving each other in sexual activity."

Louis flicks his eyes to the officers, then back to the keyboard, "It's consensual."

Mr. Corden sighs, shaking his head as he looks at Louis with pity- again.

"We were told that he's blackmailing you." Louis can't breathe, he really can't breathe. He can feel the strong urge to cry attack him all at once.

"No." Louis whimpers, taking a deep breath, "No, Harry didn't do anything, he would never hurt me, or anyone."

"Please sit outside my room, Louis." Mr. Corden orders, "I'll buzz in Mr. Styles." He says to one of the officers, who nods.

Louis doesn't know when he started crying, but he also doesn't know when he will be able to stop.

"Up we go then." One of the officers says to Louis, patting his shoulder gently. Louis swallows and stands up, walking out of the door as he faintly hears Mr. Corden call Harry into his office behind his loud thoughts.

"Please don't touch me." Louis says, flinching from the officer when she holds onto his arm.

"Watch your tone." She snaps and Louis stays silent as he sits down, his leg shaking as he does his best to breath evenly.

It only takes about 2 minutes for Harry to come into his sights. When he does, Louis jumps up and runs to the man, wrapping his arms around the teacher, not caring what happens in result of it.

"I know, baby." Harry whispers. wrapping his arms around Louis's waist as Louis sobs into his chest, "It's gonna be okay, I promise."

Louis shakes his head and presses closer to Harry, sobs racketing his body as he latches on as long as he can.

"I love you, too" Louis finally tells him, "I love you so much."

"I love you more." Harry assures, aware of the bell ringing above their heads, kids piling out of their classrooms, most stopping to look at the drama unfold in front of them.

Harry gently pulls back, cupping Louis's jaw with his hands and looking at him for a long moment, "It'll be okay, baby." He promises, Louis only nods and leans up to press their lips together.

Their happy place is soon ripped from them when Harry is tugged away, his arms being pulled behind his back while the other officer took the time to latch his wrist together with cold, metal cuffs.

"He didn't do anything wrong!" Louis shouts at them, throwing his hands in the air, "We're in love, what's wrong with that?" He pleds, "Don't take him from me."

"Louis, baby, look at me." Harry says lowly, earning Louis's attention immediately, "It'll all be over soon, okay? We'll make it through this."

Louis sniffles, nodding as he wipes his eyes, its pointless though because the tears continue to spill all over again.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything that you say or do will be held against you in the court of law." The lady officer recites to Harry. Harry only nods, green eyes focused on Louis and Louis alone.

"Calm down, baby." Harry says when Louis strata heaving, his face getting more and more pale, "Louis, take breaths- fuck, someone help him!"

Louis is suddenly pulled into strong arms, he looks up and sees Liam hugging him, he's also whispering things into Louis's ear but Louis can't hear it. He's too busy watching in despair as Harry is tugged down the hallway towards the exit.

When Harry disappears out the doors he just closes his eyes and nuzzles into Liam's chest, ignoring the buzz of the students gathered around them.

"Louis?" He hears his friend call to him. He removes his face from Liam and looks over at Niall.

"Hm." Louis mummers, letting Niall steal him into a hug, "Niall he didn't do anything wrong."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Niall asks, pulling back to look Louis in the face, "I though we trusted each other with everything."

"Can we not- not talk about this right now?" Louis pleas, pulling away and sniffling.

His eyes dart around the hallway and he feels anger bile up inside of him, "What the fuck are you staring at?" He yells, causing a few of the students to flinch, "Go to fucking class!"

"Louis, please watch your language." Liam says, being a teacher its his place but Louis doesn't care. He sends him a glare and Liam immediately shuts up.

"I'll call Zayn to come pick you up, okay?" Liam says and Louis nods, turning back to Niall, frowning.

"I'll call you later, okay? I'll explain everything." He promises and Niall nods, reaching a hand up to Louis's shoulder and squeezing.

"I trust you when you say he didn't do anything wrong." Niall says softly, blue eyes softening over Louis's fragile state.

"Thank you."

"Do you think Liam will lose his job over this?" Louis asks Zayn once they are at home, they are cuddled up on Louis's claimed room. They've spent the last hour talking about almost everything.

"Why do you think that?" Zayn asks, running a hand through Louis's hair, furrowing his eyebrows in worry.

"Because he knew about it, but didn't do anything." Louis says, "I could always lie and say Liam didn't know, b-but I don't know what Harry's gonna answer."

"I'll talk with Liam about it, okay? Don't worry about that, okay? You've got enough going on, kay?" Zayn says sternly and Louis nods, closing his eyes.

"It'll be okay."  Zayn assures after a moment, resting his chin atop of Louis's head, letting his eyes fall shut.

Louis can only hope he's right.
