Louis paused. Even the blood in his body was afraid to flow. He couldn't think. He had no idea what's happening. His body went numb. Couldn't move a muscle.

Another small whimper brought him out of his trance.

"Oh my fucking God Harry !!" Louis exclaimed loudly. He sprinted towards Harry. He moved to embrace the boy in his arms but Harry flinched away.

His complete body was a shade of purple, pink and red. Bruises all over the once milky skin. Face full of wounds.

"Harry, love, it's me, Louis. Louis Tomlinson. Let me undo your ties love and we'll go home." Louis tried soothing the boy, his own heart shattering.

"Mi-Mist-ter To-Tom-li-lin-sson ?" Harry asked trying to open his bruised eye.

"Yes love calm down. I'm going to undo the ropes now okay ?" Louis asked quitely, trying to maintain his calm. Harry slowly nodded, wincing in the process.

Louis moved forward and carefully undid the ropes, making sure not to hit any bruise, which were, well, everywhere.

After Louis untied Harry, he immediately curled up into a ball. Someone would think he is trying to protect himself, but he was actually covering his naked body. Louis did not waste a moment. He immediately removed his T-shirt.

"Harry, love, I'm going to dress you in this shirt alright. Please help me with it." Louis asked slowly. Harry slowly nodded again.

Louis carefully dressed Harry in his shirt, wincing at the pain many a times in the process.

"Sweetheart I'll pick you up and we'll go home now okay ?" Louis asked again and Harry did nothing but slowly nod.

Louis picked up the now more fragile boy bridal style, seeing that his T-shirt reached his thighs. Although knowing it was Louis, Harry still flinched away when he was being held, but passed out immediately.

Louis moved downstairs to the living room. He saw a number of people in there. Paul called the police. As soon as Louis came into view, a police officer rushed towards them.

"Is he alright Mister ?" The officer asked. Louis nodded.

"Well I need to interrogate him" The office stated plainly.

"I don't think that's happening anytime sooner" Louis replied through gritted teeth, clearly annoyed at the blind officer.

Intimidated by Louis' words and body language, the officer moved out of his way. Louis walked towards Paul, to inform him.

"Paul, I'm taking Harry back to the hotel room. Please inform everyone that we have him with us. Give the officers your number so they can contact us anytime for talking to Harry. Before you leave make sure you check for everything upstairs that belong to Harry and bring them with you. Okay ?" Louis asked or more like ordered Paul. Usually it's the other way around but even Paul knows not to mess with Louis right now.

He simply nodded and told him to drive safe. Louis walked out the house, towards his car. He settled Harry on the front seat beside him, grabbed a blanket from the trunk and wrapped the little boy.

Louis drove them back from Bradford to their hotel in Wolverhampton. On the way to the hotel, Louis couldn't help but release tears of guilt while looking at the broken boy. He felt as if it was his fault. He shouldn't have let him gone with those people. He promised Harry he wouldn't let go of him and couldn't even keep his one, simple promise.

He sniffled quitely while parking the car. He wiped his face with the palms of his hands. He moved out of the car and gently picked Harry up, making sure not to wake up the boy. As he picked Harry up, he could feel the little boy flinch away in his sleep. He heard small mutters saying,

"N-no pl-please don't. N-no. N-no" Harry muttered while slightly tossing and turning. Louis held the little boy closer to his chest.

"Shh shh darling it's me. Louis. Your Mr. Tomlinson. It's okay. Shh calm down" Louis tried comforting the boy but Harry somehow managed jumping out of Louis' grip and moving away from him towards the car.

Louis' face filled with hurt and pain. Harry looked scared. He dropped down, backing himself with the car tire, he balled himself and held his knees close to his chest, trying to hide away from everyone.

Louis' pain increased but he knew that the little boy in front of him needed him more than anyone else. Louis walked slowly towards Harry, taking every step cautiously.

"H-harry it's me Louis Tomlinson. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay. I won't touch you. I'm sorry love. " Louis said, slowly making his way towards Harry. Harry looked up to see Louis walking towards him. Harry looked deep into his eyes. His face turned into the one where he tried to say his apology but no words came out.

"It's alright love. Now let's go up so we can get you all cleaned and dressed and get some chocolate into that system !" Louis said crouching down to Harry's level, trying to ease the boy.

There was no hint of amusement on Harry's face. He just nodded and tried to stand up. Louis knew this was going to be a long journey, helping the boy, and he couldn't have asked for it any other way.

As Harry tried to stand, he lost his balance and fell on top of a crouching Louis. A small chuckle left Louis' mouth.

"Are you alright love ?" Louis asked. Harry just shook his head.

"Come on, I'll pick you up and we'll head to the room okay ?" Harry just nodded. Louis longed to hear his cheery, bubbly voice again. Louis just smiled at the boy again picking him up and walking inside the hotel lobby to the elevator. (A/N : I know Harry had a deep voice at 16 but just imagine, it'd be cuter !)

Louis could feel Harry resting his head on his chest. Louis smiled at him, thinking that the little boy had to go through so much because he couldn't stand up for him.

Louis shakes his head to not let the thought get to his mind right now because he has to stay strong for the little boy in his arms.

Louis got into the room and laid Harry on the bed. He knew he couldn't undress the little boy, because he is a boy, Harry wouldn't want to be undressed by another boy against his will.

Louis knew just who to call for problems like these. His Knight in shining armour, to save him like a damsel in distress. The one and the only girl One Direction trusted besides the ones in their management, Alex.
(A/N : Tommo_TheTease69 surprise surprise !!)

Without a second thought he called her. She was always travelling with them on tour. After two rings she picked up.

"Open the door" she said. Louis smiled. She just knew them all to well. She just knows everything. She knew he was gonna need her help.

Louis opened the door and crashed her with a bone crushing hug.

"I know love. It's gonna be alright. You know you are strong." She said,  rubbing his back gently. She broke the hug after what felt like centuries.

"Now I want you to get me some wet towels and then take a hot shower. When I'm done with Harry, I want you on the couch, with fresh clothes on while eating these take outs" Alex said, being the mother she is. She knows Louis would never ever listen to anyone except for her and she knew how to use that power just right.

Louis looked at her with tears in his eyes. He never understood what did he do to deserve a friend as good as Alex. He held her in another on of his bone crushing hugs, burying his face in her neck.

"Thank you Alex. I love you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you" Louis whispered.

"It's okay Lou. I'm here for you. Now better get you ass in the bathroom  before I strip you here right now and record it all on my phone and post it on Instagram." She said breaking the hug and smiling cheekily.

A chuckle left Louis' mouth before he playfully glared at her and walked his way towards the bathroom. Before he left the room he turned and slowly whispered,

"Alex please be gentle with the boy. The little Angel has lost his wings."
