Chapter 7.

*Next Morning*

*Lillian POV*

I woke up and was extremely nervous, remembering that Harry saw me yesterday. He would for sure tell everyone what he saw, that’s just who he is. I’m pretty much trying to mentally prepared myself for all the bulling I was going to get after today.

I pulled myself from my bed and grabbed new under garments and a towel before going to my bathroom. I started the shower and stepped inside washing my hair and body.

After about 10 minutes of just letting the water run on my back I got out and cleared off the foggy mirror.

I looked at my face and cringed, the bags under my eyes were going to need a lot of concealer. Then I noticed that I didn’t have on my necklace. I started to panic because I never take it off.

I ran into my room and ripped apart my bed thinking maybe it fell off while I was asleep. Nothing.

I picked the clothes I wore yesterday, both to school and the cemetery to see if it was stuck in them. Again nothing.

I started to feel sick, there is no way I could have lost it. I felt tears in my eyes but wiped them away when I heard a knock on the door.

“Hey Lillian what are you doing?” my step mom whisper yelled from the doorway.

“I can’t find my grandma’s necklace.” I said and a tear slipped down my cheek.

“Aww poor you, now the waste of a human is completely gone isn’t she.” She said with a sickly devious smirk.

“DON’T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY GRANDMA LIKE THAT! YOU HEARTLESS BITCH!” I screamed as I came face-to-face with her.

*SLAP*

“YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH YOU LITTLE FUCK-UP.” She screamed then shove me into my room slamming the door.

I got dressed and did my make-up as fast as possible already running a little late. I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs, grabbed a peach and ran out of the house. I jumped in my car and sped off, never happier to go to school in my life.

*At school & Harry POV*

I pulled up to school and saw the boys and the girls standing around. I parked in my usual spot and jumped out. I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder. I stopped and pulled Lillian’s necklace out of my pocket and looked at it.

Earlier this morning I took her necklace to a friend of mine and he fixed the chain for me. I hope she’s happy and that this shows her that I’m not always mean.

I started walking over to the group and Lillian was in Chloe’s embrace and it looked like she was crying. I started walking faster until I reached them, Brianna nowhere in sight. Thank you, I wasn’t about going to deal with her right now.

“Hey guys!” I said and got a chorus of hi’s back. I turned my attention to Lillian and played it cool. “What’s up with her?” I asked no one in particular.

“I lost my grandma’s necklace. I’m being a baby it doesn’t matter.” She said as she pulled herself from Chloe’s arms.

“Oh was it this one?” I said trying to hide a smirk as her head shot up and I pulled her necklace from my pocket. She looked at it then at me before launching herself into my arms.

“I found it at…-” she pulled back and her eyes were pleading with me to not say anything. “-…by your locker. I guess it fell off after Brianna hit you.” I said and she tensed up hearing Brianna’s name.

She hugged me again and said “Thank you Harry, really.” Then I released her but we stared into each other’s eyes. I guess I never really realized but Lillian is stunning.
