18 : Confessions

"DJ?" Zayn asked. "It can't be HER then."

"You can't say that Zayn. It can be HER." Liam said.

"All of you, back to your classes. All teachers please stay here. Back to you classes, everyone." Professor Denver announced, looking a little worried.  Everyone started walking back, still glancing at the wall.

"Beware of her. That's definitely HER." Louis said.

"But, who wrote it?" I asked.

"They can never find it out if it was HER or anyone else related to HER. No one else in this whole campus knows about HER other than us." Harry said.

"That's true. It's better we just keep our mouths shut." Elsa said.

"But, do you think they'll let this issue as such? They'll definitely try and do something about it. It's not just a message. It's BLOOD. And Denver looks pretty worried already." Zayn said.

"EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP. DON'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING." Louis complained.

"Louis. Keep your voice down." Liam said.

We were walking back to our class. All through the corridor, everyone was talking about the nasty incident. We just entered our class when I heard Professor Denver running towards us. He stopped right behind us and said.

"Miss James. We need you in the staff room right away." He said. Elsa also accompanied me. He didn't seem to mind that.

As we entered the staff room, a lot of Professors where there, discussing. Even the principal was there. Lisa's dad was also there.

"Come on in girls." Professor Joanne said.

We both went in slowly, faces down. Professor Joanne asked first. "Where have you been since you harmed yourself last week?" She asked.

"Um...after you left that room Professor, I went to the cafeteria for lunch. And then back to class, then home, and then every day the same. " I said.

"Yesterday?" She asked.

"Yesterday, I was at the hospital with everyone else till eight in the night. Niall is admitted, becau-.."

"Yes I knew." She said.

"Audrey, why did you harm yourself?" Lisa's dad asked. I really didn't want to answer that. Elsa tapped me on my back slightly telling me to speak up.

"It...was um...I do it quite often." I said.

"There has to be a reason you did it, isn't it? Why exactly did you do it?" He asked.

"It was because of your daughter, sir," I replied.

"What? What did she do to you?" He asked, curiously. All the others were shocked.

"She um...said something about my dad. I don't have a dad. She made fun of that, and so, I kinda...was depressed, and...that's why..."

I was trying to control my tears. Professor Joanne looked at me in fright, hands covering her mouth in shock.

"Right now, we called you here, because what happened the library, you see...there's only one possible way one can get blood out. And you were the only one who's done that-.." he started, but I interrupted saying

"But sir, I did that last week, and this happened today...just a few minutes ago. What makes you think I did that?" I asked.

"Listen to me first Audrey." He protested.

"Okay, tell." I said.

"You are the only one who could've done it. No one else harmed them self recently." He said.
