Secrets

Chapter 3

(Amanda's POV.)

I woke up in my bedroom, confused and dazed. I looked up and saw a dark figure staring back at me. My vision was blurry and I couldn't see who it was, but I thought that it was Harry, so I flinched. A warm hand grabbed my wrist and spoke to me in a soothing tone.

"Hey, take it easy, Amanda. It's just me," he said. My vision became clear and I saw that it was Niall. I immediately sat up in my bed.

"W-What are you doing here?" I stuttered. He blushed.

"Well, after you passed out and all, I wanted to see if you were okay," he said. I felt myself blush.

"Thanks," I responded quietly. He took my hand into his and helped me up out of my bed. I looked down at myself and realized that I was still wearing my cloths from school. "Wait, Niall. I need to change real fast. I'll be down in a sec." I quickly gave him a hug and ran into my closet. I slipped into some green sweat pants and an old Baggy gray sweat shirt. I went down the stairs and into the den only to find Zayn, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Harry. I stood there starstruck. Why was he here? Was he here for me? I put my hand to the locket wrapped around my neck. I had stood there to long. I needed to make a run for it. I stepped down the last step as it made to loudest creaking noise ever. Everyone looked back and Liam smiled.

"There she is now!" He said. Had they been talking about me? I looked at everyone, but especially Harry. His eyes were widened and his jaw dropped. My heart was beating so fast I felt like I was going to have a heart attack.

"Is that," he pointed at my shirt. ",my sweat shirt?" He asked. I felt the blood instantly rush to my cheeks. I kept staring at Harry. His hair wasn't as curly, but he still had the amazing dimples.

"Um, I-I gotta go," I stumbled towards the doorway, mine and Harry's eyes still locked on each other. I reached the door and opened it. I turned towards the open door as rain drops plopped onto my face. I ran full speed out to the road, not even bothering to shut the door behind me. I saw a telephone booth, and booked it inside so I wouldn't get wet. I sat in the booth debating what to do. Should I go back? No, I couldn't face Harry. Not now. Then where would I go? I looked around the neighborhood and my eyes spotted Sydney's. I looked back at my house and saw the door slowly open and a figure walked out. I couldn't tell who it was because they had their hoodie up and I couldn't see their face. He closed the door behind him and lifted his face up. Harry. I stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do. He searched the horizon until his eyes locked on me. I stood up and tried to open the door, but it was jammed! I slammed against it a couple of times before it gave out and let me through. I started walking towards Sydney's house when he yell my name.

"Amanda! Wait!" He yelled. Just the sound of his voice gave me chills. I started jogging that soon became a full on sprint as I herd his voice come closer. I was in the driveway of her house when I tripped and fell flat on my face. My hands were scraped up and my pants were torn at the knees. A shadow fell over me and I turned around quickly.

"W-what is it H-Harry?" I asked shivering.

"Hey! Where are you going?" He shouted at me.

"I'm just headed to S-Sydney's house for a Science project," I told him.

"Why? Am I not good enough for you? Just say it. You know it's true," he threatened.

"Please Harry just leave me alone!" I screamed at him. He just kept staring at me. You could see the fury in his eyes, but there was also a hint of sadness. He stormed away towards my house as I scrambled to get up and into to the house. As soon as I walked in I saw Mrs. Kinsey opening up suit cases in the living room. Her head raised up and her mouth curled into a smile.
