Chapter 11.

*Lillian POV*

We were driving down the street from the party and there was a heavy tension in the car. I don’t know why, I guess its just the hatred that we have for each other.

We pulled up to my place and I saw my dad’s car and MY car there so I knew that they are home. GREAT.

“Ugh.” I groaned as he came to a stop by the curb. He stayed silent as I mentally prepared myself for the shit I am going to get from my dad.

“Out.” Harry said through his clenched teeth and it startled me.

I silently opened the door and got out making sure not to slam the door even though I wanted to so bad. I slowly walked towards the front door and stopped at the steps.

I reached into the bushes and pulled out a duffle bag that I had put there a few days ago, just in case something like this happened. I thought that I would leave with everyone and Rhaea offered to let me crash at her place. I sat down on the steps and put my head in my hands.

I was deep in thought about the trouble I was going to get in for being out at a party without telling my dad.

“Hey, you going inside?” I heard someone coming from the side walk.

I could have sworn Harry already drove off so there is no way its him. Now I’m a little frightened, what if it’s a creep?

“Hello?” they asked again and I looked up cautiously.

To my surprise it was Harry and he was in the car still talking to me through the window.

I simple shook my head no.

“Hey Lillian.” He said and I looked back at him getting annoyed with his voice.

“Wh…hat?” I said so quietly that it stuttered. He waved his hand towards me beckoning me to his car.

I got up and slung my bag over my shoulder, then walked over to his car.

“What Harry?” I asked, irritation clear in my voice.

“You need a place to crash?” he asked his voice monotone. I looked over my shoulder at my house and saw my dad’s bedroom light go on.

“Uhh yeah, but uhh…-” I started and he cut me off.

“Hop in and hurry up.” He said his voice back to being angry.

We only drove for about 10 minutes before Harry pulled into the driveway of a nice looking house.

He walked my towards the front door and we entered quietly and to Harry’s constant ‘shh’ing.

“Couch or spare room upstairs. Be quiet and don’t bug me.” Harry said in a hushed harsh tone.

I stood in the entrance to Harry’s house, in the dark as he made his way upstairs. I pulled off my shoes and thought about sleeping on the couch. I don’t really want to because what if his parents wake up and I’m just sleeping there.

I made my way upstairs as I decided to sleep in the spare bedroom. Lucky for me the bedroom door was open so I knew which was the spare. I closed the door and pulled off my overalls and pulled out the shorts I brought with me.

I got in bed after pulling in my phone to the wall and fell asleep almost instantly. After all it was about 1am.

“Hey get up!” I was rudely awoken by a deep voice and a banging on the door.

I got up slowly but it didn’t help the head rush I got.

“C’mon I have to leave in 15minutes.” Harry barked again.

“Ok I’m up.” I said anger lacing my voice.

“God not a morning person eh?” he asked himself as he walked away.

I walked over to the little mirror on the dresser and examined my bed head and morning make up face.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I walked back over to the bed and grabbed my pants and sweater from the bag.

Putting them on fast I pulled at me hair to remove the braids and put my ‘Bad Hair Day’ beanie on.

Then I slipped on the pair of combat boots on from my bag and put my converse as well as my clothes from last night into the bag too.

I grabbed a bottle of water which was sitting on the dresser as well as a Kleenex and wet the Kleenex to remove the makeup from my face.

After I was done I zipped up my bag, unplugged my phone and walked downstairs.

When I reached the bottom I saw Harry and a woman that looked like she was in her thirties sitting at the table in the kitchen.

Just my luck I had to sneeze and have both of them turn around to face me. Harry shot up from his seat and made his way to the front door, the woman not far behind him.

“Are you ready to go?” Harry asked me and I just nodded.

“Oh Brianna, its so nice to finally meet you.” The woman said before hugging me and Harry noticed my shocked expression.

“Uhh…” I started before she released me.

“She’s not Brianna mum.” Harry corrected her and the woman’s face flushed instantly.

“Oh that’s embarrassing. Umm…what your name dear?” she asked as she wiped her hands on her pants.

“Lillian…” I said shyly.

“Well I’m Anne, its so nice to meet one of Harry’s friends without tattoos or piercings.” She chuckled and I  tensed.

“We are not friends, mum.” Harry said his voice stern. Anne’s face looked confused but she didn’t press on. Somehow my heart fell a little when he said we weren’t friends. I don’t know why though I didn’t expect us to be friends and we aren’t so my feelings are messed up.

“Hello? Lets go I said.” He said obviously annoyed.

I walked out of the house and closed the door behind me, before making my way to his car.

“Where too? Home or…?” Harry asked as we pulled out of the driveway and started down the street.

“Uhh…umm…can you take me to-o the ‘4 Leaf Clover’ tattoo parlor?” I ask hesitantly.

“Why are you going to a tattoo parlor?” he asked amusement in his voice.

“I’m meeting someone.” I said and he chuckled.

“Well I didn’t think that you would be getting a tattoo.” He said and I frowned.

When we got to the shop I saw my sister standing at the front door waiting for me as I texted her I was coming on the ride here.

My smile brightened as she saw me and hers grew as well. Before I even register what Harry said I fly out of the door towards Emma and we crash into a huge hug.

“I missed you.”
