Soon the last lecture that was literature was over. I got to know that Harry and I have the same subjects. So that means we will see each other everyday. Due to Harry's company, time flew by so fast. His mood was also better than before. During this whole time I learnt many things about Harry and his life. Not many but that his parents got divorced and his mother got remarried and apparently he doesn't like his stepfather, so he didn't want his company. He was not happy with his parents so, he opted to shift to Washington.
For me his first impression was not good but I think he is a good guy. After Luke and I became a thing, there was no one in my life who I called a friend because I was 24/7 with Luke. Liam went to Oxford for his further studies. We were in contact but in person there was no one. Liam had all the updates of my life. But I think I can make new friends here and surely Harry is my first friend.
While coming out from the classroom Harry told me another 'knock-knock' joke which was not at all funny, but the way he said it made me laugh. We came out laughing. But my laughter faded as soon as I saw Luke standing in the corridor. We both went to him. Luke looked a bit pissed. But then who gives a fuck to his mood.
"Sam can we just leave now?" He asked with a straight face.
"Umm... yeah," I said. I turned to Harry who was standing few steps back.
"Ummm.... Harry I gotta go, yeah..." I said as I approached him.
"Yeah, sorry for my behaviour in the morning." He apologized.
"It's okay, I understand. Thanks, I had a great time today. Um... see you tomorrow. "
"Yeah. Bye." He said casually. As I turned to leave he called me.
"Sam!" "Be safe." He said. I nodded. As soon as I reached Luke, the feeling of insecurity was back. Wasn't it strange? The whole day, I was with Harry, who was a stranger to me but not one time did I feel insecure being with him. But with Luke I felt unsafe.
We got in his car. After some time Luke said, " Look Sam, I suggest you to stay away from Harry."
I was angry already and this just added fuel to the fire.
"What?" I looked at him my anger only increasing.
"You heard me well," he said. He stopped as the signal turned red. "Look, Harry is not a good company to be with." Oh! Look whose talking.
"Do you not wonder why he is in your class, even though he is of my age?" He asked as he turned the engine on.
I didn't know what to say. This whole day I kept on thinking the same question. Although, I didn't trust Luke, I looked at him for an answer.
"He was in rehab. Last vacation he came in contact with some bad boys. He joined their gang. They used to do illegal things. He started hanging out with those lads more. We tried to stop him. But maybe it was too late . He started taking drugs. And it affected him faster. Soon he was admitted to a rehab."
I was shocked by the information. After what Luke did, I don't trust him anymore but maybe this was the true reason. But I protested it.
"Do you think I will believe this bullshit?" I asked him.
"Harry seems a nice guy," I said.
"Ok, I knew you won't believe me. Tomorrow just ask him the reason. I'll tell you what he will say."
He continued, "Actually, I had some personal problems. I had to go back to UK, family problems you know."
"That's it and then he will just try to change the topic."
I don't know why Luke was so sure about this. But I don't trust him so I am going to ask Harry about it. I am not sure but I think Harry won't lie, because he has told me about his family, right?
"Please just stay away from him." Soon we reached. Luke opened the door for me.
"Umm... I have some work so I'm not coming in. So, bye."
As if I wanted you to come.
"Yeah." I said. I turned to go but he pulled me towards him, hugging me from behind.
"Sam, I'm really sorry for what I did that day." I faced him getting away from his touch.
"Samantha, please forgive me. I really am sorry for what happened. You know I was drunk and lost my control."
" I have to go." I said. I didn't want to forgive him for this. Only an apology wouldn't work. He hurt me not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Nothing can make me forgive him. The bruises would fade but not the memories.
"Sam just know that I really really am sorry for that day."
He left after that and I was just standing there alone. Before going in, I went to my backyard, where I had a tree house. Nowadays, I spend most of my time here. I have a bed in the tree house. When I am alone, I prefer sleeping here rather than my room. This tree house gives me my space away from the socialised world. I have not allowed anyone in this house except Liam, not even my parents. This is my favourite place. It gives me peace. I dont have to fake my emotions when I'm here.
I dont know how long I sat there. But as the sun was setting I went home. Mrs. Anderson asked me where I was but I didn't bother to answer her, I just went straight to my room.
I got fresh and ate some pizza. Before completing the assignments I checked my cell. There were three unread messages.
Unknown: Hey Sam, Niall here. Save my no. ;-p
Luke: Samantha, please forgive me this time. I really am sorry.
Luke: Samantha please reply darling.
How did Niall get my number? Anyways, I saved his no. and completed the given assignments. Then I set the alarm and lied on my bed hoping that I don't get nightmares again.
