Trouble

Chapter 16

Hey guys, I wanted to tell you that I was really sad when I had no comment on the last chapter, it means a lot to me so please do comment, it isn't that hard right ? Okay I think it's all. Enjoy xx

It was finally lunch time and I was putting my stuff in my locker to head to the cafeteria after.

“Hey Melissa.” I heard someone say.

I turned around to see Joe smiling widely. I wasn’t quite used to see him smiling, actually smiling. Usually he would have that stupid smirk, so I was kind of surprised to see like this, he seemed friendlier.

“Hi.” I mumbled turning back to my locker.

I noticed him move to my side, leaning against the locker next to mine.

“Look, Melissa I know you still don’t trust me, but I told that I just wanted to be friends. My first impression was not the best and I’m sorry for that.” His words made me look at him instead of my locker. “You’re a really nice person, and I just want to be able to call you a friend. But you have to give me a chance.”

He was either being honest or was a really good liar. His words sounded so truthful and sincere.

“Maybe you’re right… and we could be friends.” I sighed.

I didn’t like to be hard on people, yet that’s what happened with both Harry and Joe. Harry have already proved me that I was wrong, maybe Joe could too.

His smile turned into a full on grin and I smiled too.

“Well, maybe we could hang out someday.” He suggested.

Even though that he spoke casually, way friendlier that the last time, I couldn’t help but tense a little. He seemed to notice so he spoke again.

“If not, that’s okay too. I understand if Harry won’t let you-“

“Harry can’t tell me what to do.” I cut him off.

I could’ve sworn that a not so nice smirk appeared on his face but he quickly changed it into a smile.

“But I care for him, and I don’t want to upset him. So I want to talk to him first.” I added making his smile disappear.

“Alright.” He agreed. Not like he had choice anyway.

“I have to go now, bye.” He talked quite fast and before I had a chance to speak his arms were wrapped around me in a hug.  I didn’t feel really comfortable hugging him so I awkwardly patted his back and pretty soon he let go of me, walking away with a small wave.

I closed my locker and turned around. I was about to walk to the cafeteria when I noticed Harry walking in my direction. Usually it would make me smile but his clenched jaw and the fact that he was walking right past me made me press my lips into a tight line.

I grabbed a hold of his jumper to stop him from walking any further.

“Harry, wait.” Luckily the hallway was empty, all the students having their lunch.

“What the hell was that?” He practically screamed in my face.

“Calm down!” I raised my voice as well.

“I asked you, what the hell was that?” He repeated.

I took a step back only to be pushed up against the locker, Harry’s hands either side of my head.

“I won’t talk to you, until you calm down.” I said sternly.

I whimper escaped my lips when his fist made contact with the locker right next to my head, closing my eyes in fright.  After a few seconds I gained the courage to open my eyes again, to see Harry with his hands in his hair, taking deep breathes, eyes tightly closed.
