Chapter 72

The lunch bell rings and Lizzie and I stand up. I'm definitely the most awkward one here so I'm not going to break this whole not talking thing, but because Lizzie is nothing like me she breaks the silence.

"Well that wasn't good" she says as we walk out of the cafeteria.

I nod my head
"Yeah it wasn't"

Lizzie looks at me with a sad face
"Maybe we should tell her"

I give her a serious stare with a 'what the hell' look on my face
"No" I snap "Two people already know and that's two to much" I say seriously and worried

"Well I never asked for this." She snaps back
"and I didn't say it was ok that you could lie and say your staying at my house because that makes me involved and I didn't want to be brought in this mess nor did I want to be having to lie to my best friend. If Mia knew this was happening she would be heartbroken and if she knew I had a part in it she would never forgive me, and I don't want to do this to her anymore, I can't. So I really don't think you have a say in if I tell her or not considering I didn't agree to any of this in the first place" she says seriously and walks away with her arms crossed

"Lizzie wait" I say and run up to her
"I'm so sorry."
"Your totally right I shouldn't of done this to you when we hardly even knew each other." Lizzie looks down
"You have every right to tell anyone you want. I was so stupid to involve you and now I look like some girl thats just using you when really the only reason I did it is because I really hoped that we would be friends, best friends even and I thought it was okay because we would be friends but I shouldn't of done that until I was sure you guys even liked me" I smile slightly and look down.
"I swear I wanna be your guys friend so much and I want you all to know that I'm not just using you guys for a place to sit at lunch" I say and look back at the table
"I really hope I don't annoy you bye sitting at your table or just bother you by hanging around you guys it's just I'm trying to take care of Harry and I might be falling in love with him." I blurt out and look down shocked that I just said that
"I might love him Lizzie and I'm scared. I'm really terrified so I haven't been myself lately and I'm sorry I'm venting to you and I'm sorry I used you and I'm just so sorry Lizzie" I say and run off crying.

As I'm running I start to panic. Oh my god I'm falling in love with Harry. I am running full speed until I bolt around a corner and crash into guess who...Harry. Harry's eyes widen and he immediately notices that it's me as he stumbles backwards.

"Alison?" He asks with the softest yet saddest tone in his voice. Once I hear his voice I let out a deep breath realizing that I'm with Harry. Being so close to him makes everything suddenly feel so much better. I wrap my arms around his waist and sob into his chest. Harry's expression is distraught. Harry drops his binder and quickly wraps his arms around me pulling me close.

"Alison what's wrong?" he asks

"Im just so happy I found you" I cry

"Yeah me too" he says quietly

"I don't want to be here" I say still crying

"Ok then lets go back to my house." He says and brushes his fingers through my hair

"No" I say and shake my head while wiping my tears
"I don't want you to miss school"

Harry smiles slightly
"Its fine Alison really" he pauses
"Now it's my turn to take care of you" he says and smiles softly.

I smile slightly as I look up at him

He wraps his arm around me as I bury my head into the side of his chest trying to hide my tear stained face from everybody as we walk out of the building...Harry pulls me close
