Troubled

Chapter 3: A Rude Awakening

Faye's POV

I was rudely torn out of my dreams by violet's alarm clock ringing in my ear. I wouldn't mind normally it is just the fact that she is already awake and dressed so you would think she would do everyone a favour by turning it off, but since violet is in the bathroom doing her make up I'm guessing I will have to turn it off. I'm surprised harri hasn't woken up due to this deafening noise , she must be in a deep sleep. But she doesn't really need to be woken up yet. I reached under my bed to get my rounders bat and bashed the alarm clock to smithereens and in the process I had broken half the stuff on the desk ,with that I dropped the bat on the floor and happily went back off to sleep pretending nothing had happened.

Moments later violet came into the room with her hair and make up perfectly done. I was obviously still in bed 'asleep' well pretending. violet started freaking out about the desk being a mess and with that harri had been woken up by all the commotion. So I finally said " look what you've done, you'vewoken Harri up" stating the obvious. Violets face suddenly dropped " look what I've done, haven't you noticed all the ornaments and things you have completely ruined on the desk! So don't bother lecturing me about waking Harri up!" I can tell that she was annoyed with me for destroying the desk but I had a comeback " well If it wasn't for your stupid alarm clock and your habit of waking up early for school there wouldn't be a mess." My tone of voice was getting louder and with that I got off my bed and stormed into the bathroom locking the door behind me. On the way I saw Harri's face she was completely speechless to what had just happened she must be really confused.

After my shower and a lot of thinking I decided to face violet and say something about what I had done even though it wasn't all my fault.
I came out of the bathroom but it was a weird atmosphere not the atmosphere I had expected it was silent and It felt cold even though it was quite warm today. violet as i predicted was cleaning up the mess. Meanwhile Harri was sat on the bed sobbing as she was hunched over with something in her hand. I slowly went to violet and asked "what has happened to Harri?" In a low whisper. She snapped back in a sort of shouting but whispering tone trying to not to let Harri hear her "due to your incident with the rounders bat this morning, you ,have broken something of hers so I suggest you apologise." I just nodded and made my way to sit on harri's bed.

There was a long awkward silence  until I reached out for the thing that Harri was gripping in her hand. As I stared at the broken picture fame That had a torn self drawn picture of a little girl which kind of looked like Harri and an older looking woman with the same green eyes as Harri's with a simple message 'happy birthday my little angel , lots of love mom x'. I felt my heart drop into my stomach as the guilt spread to form a lump in my throat, I bet this is one her most precious things and I had smashed the glass, broken the frame and also managed to rip the picture in half. Then the most stupidest thing came out of my mouth " I'm guessing you're mom drew this because it is beautiful." she just turned and looked at me with tears streaming down her face and just replied "yeah, it was a present for my 8th birthday. It wasn't expensive or anything. I just love it because a lot of thought and time went into it and it was the only thing I have that actually reminds me of her and how easy it used to be." At this point all I could think about is what this drawing meant to her and how I ruined it. with me not being very comforting in situations like these I said " look I'm sorry for what I've done I'm a mindless person I don't realise the consequences of my actions until I've done the wrong thing and I'm truly sorry for what I've done and I hope you can forgive me." At the end of my sentence Harri looked up at me wiped away a tear and smiled " of course I can forgive you if I didn't I wouldn't have anyone to make me laugh."With that i laughed and returned the smile.

Afterwards Harri had finished in the shower and came out in her new uniform. She was wearing a white blouse with a black tie neatly tied and a pleated skirt with black tights and black flats ,and to finish it off she was wearing the grey school blazer with the school badge on and her hair swept back in a ponytail. We were all packing our bags accept violet who had already packed hers the day before. To make conversation I asked harri "what lessons have you got today?" She looked up at me and pointed to the desk and replied "my timetable is over there go and look" with that I nodded and looked at her timetable and said to her with a grin on my face "lucky you , you've got all your lessons with me today" with that I grabbed my rucksack and passed her the timetable and we all walked down to breakfast with violet locking the door behind us.
