Beloved.

Chapter 4: Confused

i quickly grab my journal, kneel down under the counter and shove it in my backpack.

i get up from under the counter and peek up at Harry, his curls are all messed up and it looks like he is writing something down. i grab the notepad and pen, slowly walking away from the counter and walk up to Harry. I tap his shoulder and he turns around to face me.

"Hi um, do you want something?" i stutter. God this is frightening. i'm scared he might hurt me, i don't know why because hes the one who saved my ass at school. I guess im just used to it being that way.

He furrows his eyebrows, gets up, and leaves the shop. I stand deserted in the middle of the shop alone.

Okay, well, i guess that could've gone worse.

i get into the door of my house and grab some dinner, do my homework, run to my room, and sleep. i am NOT in the mood for anything right now. Between everything that happened today, why would i?

***

its all a bit fuzzy, but i can still make out whos who. Zayn pushes Harry to the back of a building as i am sitting on the ground. I get up and get in between them.

"Knock it off!" I yell.

Oh my god its happening again... But why? Why is harry helping me, why is he trying to fight with Zayn, why am i still having these nightmares, why does Zayn hate me, and why is it coming all true? I want answers! Zayn pushes me aside and harry blocks me so Zayn can't touch me. Zayn runs his fingers through his hair looks at us angrily. It takes one last look and walks off. I look at harry terrified but then he runs off as well.

***

My alarm goes off and I look up at my clock. I officially decided i am not going to school today. I'm not letting my dreams come true once more.

I get out of bed and lazily walk down the small flight of stairs and walk into the kitchen to see a note on the fridge.

"Went to work early, coming home later than usual. Love you xx

-Mom"

Yep, staying home alone for today.
