3 days until prom
The week was going by fast, it was already Wednesday. The day that Louis comes back from suspension. I'm kind of glad, school's been kind of boring without him. Speaking honestly.

I sit at lunch next to Harry, playing with my food with the plastic fork in my hand. A tall man walking caught my eye, he held his backpack with one of his shoulders. I smile as he was walking this way. He got closer and I opened my mouth to say hey.

When he just walked past, I turn my head to see where he was going. He sat next to his old friends, the ones that are bad influences on him and don't treat him the way he should be treated. I feel a bit of embarrassment rush through me, thinking that he wanted to be my friend.

Was he lying? Why did he hang out with Harry and I so much? I was honestly upset because I liked the three of us, we made a good team but Louis will always been the same prick. I know we haven't hung for that long but it seemed like it was going well.

"Let it be, I should've never trusted him" Harry shakes his head. "I just don't get it" I stare off, overthinking about everything happening. "He only hung out with us out of pity" Harry scoffs, eating his apple. I feel my eyes water. "Donna? Hey hey what's wrong?" Harry noticed when a tear dropped from my face.

"I gotta go to the bathroom" I lied, I just wanted to get away so I don't embarrass myself with crying. I go back inside, and into the upper gym. Trying to calm my nerves and wipe my tears. "Don't waste a single tear on him" I quote Louis.

I hear footsteps go up the stairs to me. "It's not your fault" Harry said, sorta out of breath. "I really don't want him to go back to being an arrogant asshole" I cry out. I stop myself from crying and wiped my wet face. I took a few deep breath's and walked back outside.

I keep walking until I came to a stop at Louis's table. "Louis" I tap his shoulder. "What do you want" He flicks my hand away. "Can I talk to you?" I ask trying to be nice. "No" He says with no emotion. I grab his tie and dragged him away from the table.

"Let go" He tries to take my hand away from him, I slap his hand. "No, you need to tell me what's going on" I look him straight in the eyes. His face goes soft for a second then pack to a sour look. "Nothing, I just realized how annoying you are" He takes my hand off his tie.

I roll my eyes. "Watch it" He warns. "God you're worse than my dad" I laugh at his pathetic face. "Does daddy abuse you?" He teased. My face dropped, getting hot from embarrassing and being ashamed. "Oh that's fucked" One of his friends said, cutting the silence.

Louis's face scanned mine and his dropped as well. "Fuck off, Donna let's go" Harry waited for me to turn around and leave Louis. "Why have you never told me this?" He asked, but I didn't wanna answer. I turn and walked over to Harry. "Just drop it for today" Harry put his arm around my shoulder.

After school I wanted to figure something out, I decided to see what Louis's was all about. But to my luck, Louis was already home. Since their house is big, it's easy to hide. I go into the front bathroom and listened to them argue. "Louis, Im not gonna waste my money on therapy"

"I have issues dad, I need it." Louis came down the stairs. "Issues? Like what?" His father asked. "I don't like anger issues, maybe depression. I just need help" His word were soft and weak. "Non sense, it's all in your head. Stop wasting my time" His father raised voice.

"Dad please, I need help. Mom would've always listened to me" He trembled. I heard cold hard smack and then silence. "Don't bring up your mother, go outside and clear your mind. You're loosing it" His father walks away. Leaving Louis there, I hear the front door open.

"What the hell" He says, then it hit me. My car is parked in their driveway. "Shit" I whisper to myself in dark bathroom. "Doncaster" He said to himself, I hear his shoes go all around the house. I pray he doesn't find me.

The door in front of me swung open, having me revealed to him. He sighs and grabbed my hand, pulling me out. He takes me outside, closing the front door. "What are you doing" He crosses his arms. "I wanted to, well I wanted to know what was happening at home" I put my head down.

"It's non of your business" He leans down. "I know, I was just worried Louis. We were building such a great friendship and then everything in one day changes" I look up to him. It seemed like he didn't wanna talk about it.

"I care about you" I say a little more quiet. He stands back up straight. "Why are you being a dick again?" I ask. "Does your dad really abuse you?" He changes the subject. "No I am not here to talk about my father, don't change the subject" I get upset, loosing faith in this boy.

"No, because this seems like a more serious topic" He continues. "He's in jail, and I really don't need to cry more today so let's drop it" I grit my teeth. "Why did you never tell me this?" He asked. "Because it's not your business" I say. "It is because I keep you safe" He says toning down his voice.

I roll my eyes. "I like keeping you safe" He says grabbing my face.
