Lillian's POV
I stood by my locker, waiting on Harry. All the others had already left. I wondered where he could be. I kept looking around. What if he didn't want to come anymore? What if he forgot? Just when I thought he wouldn't come, Harry walked around the corner. His eye was red and swollen. "What the hell?" I dropped my bag and ran to him. "What happened?!" He cried. I hated to see him this sad. "They- they beat me." He cried out. I hugged him and he lay his head on my shoulder. I ran my hands through his curls.
"Hazza, who did this to you?" I asked him quietly. "I can't tell you. They will beat me again. I want to Lil, but I just don't want to be in pain again." He whispered. "Harry, you have to tell me. I'm your best friend. I won't let them hurt you again. I promise okay. Nobody will ever hurt you again." I hugged him again. Which was a little weird, since we sat on the floor in front of the lockers. "J- Jack did." He whispered in my ear.
Jack was school's bad boy. He hated everyone and only had 2 friends. Jason and Rick. They always beat up kids but they got suspended 2 months ago. "How did they get here?" He shrugged. "I have no idea, but can we please go home? I don't want to be here anymore." He said with fear in his eyes. His eye was now turning purple and afterwards it would be blue. I stood up and helped him up. "Let's watch those movies I promised you." he smiled a little and grabbed my hand. "I'm sorry if I'm such a bother. But I'm just sad and you're the most amazing friend in the world. I'm so glad we met." He said staring at our hands. I squeezed it a little. "You're amazing Hazza, I don't know how people could ever hate you or beat you. And I'm glad we met too." Now he squeezed my hand. We walked back to my house.
When we reached my house I opened the door. Harry got inside and so did I. I locked the door. Yes, I'm scared when I was without a grown up. I had always been. I couldn't help it. "Why'd you lock the door?" Harry asked confused. "I- uhh I'm kind of scared when there's no grown up. I'm scared that someone will come and get me and the murder me." I face the floor. "Thank god I thought I was the only one." Harry let out a sigh of relief. I faced him with a frown.
"Yeah I do that too. I'm always scared someone will come in or something. Last week, Gemma came home with Drake, but she was so quiet I fell off the couch when she said hi." I laughed. Harry slapped my arm. "That's not even funny!" This caused me to laugh even harder. "Oh god. This is so funny." My legs got weak and I fell on the floor.
After 10 minutes off laughing on the floor, Harry adn I fianlly got to the couch and had to choose a movie. "Which one?" I held two boxes in my hand. Love Actually and Titanic. He pointed to the right. "Love Actually it is then." I put the DVD in and pressed play. "I don't even get how you can watch a Christmas movie in September." I giggled. "Shhh, I love it okay. Now shut up." I sat down on the couch and faced the screen.
