The pipes scream, a metallic shriek echoing through the cramped, oil-scented apartment. Harry sits on the edge of his mattress, staring at the cracked ceiling, the bruise on his ribs throbbing with every breath. He watches Louis sprawled on the dying couch, grease-stained and scabbed, looking younger in sleep. The air is thick with stale cigarettes and the weight of survival. Harry grabs a water bottle, the plastic creaking in the silence, and leans against the counter, watching his best friend stir. The helmet waits on the chair; the fight waits in the alley. He speaks, his voice rough, breaking the quiet that holds them both hostage.
