Chapter Ten
Harry hit the wall and fell to the floor. I completely froze up, dropping the plate on the floor. Brad was stood in the doorway with a devilish smile on his face.
“W-what?” I didn’t know what to say, I was still in shock. Was I imagining things or was Harry lying on the floor bleeding. It couldn’t be… It’s all in my head, yeah of course it is. I moved closer and knelt down beside him. “No, it can’t be… No!” I prayed. He turned to face me and I realised it was Harry. He was bleeding from the back of his head and had a few bruises on his arms.
“A-Alisha…?” He stuttered.
“It’s me.” I whispered. “What the hell happened to you? What did they do?” I asked.
“We didn’t do anything.” Brad chuckled as he left the room.
“I-I don’t remember a lot.” He replied. “I was in my room, I was thinking... about you actually, you disappeared and we missed you so much.” He quickly got to his knees and hugged me tightly, I couldn’t breathe but I didn’t care. “I was alone in the house and I heard a noise… downstairs. I thought my parents had gotten home early. I went to check but no one was there. Someone was behind me, I-I saw their shadow. I went to turn around but then everything went blurry and I-I can’t remember anything else.”
“Oh no, those bastards and your head… Your head is bleeding.”
“Never mind me, what the hell happened to your arm?” He questioned.
“It’s just a cut, but I thought for a moment that they were going to kill me.”
“Just a cut? It’ll get infected. Here.” He took off his shirt and wrapped it round my arm covering the cut. “There.”
“You didn’t have to.”
“I know. I’ve always been there for you, like you have me and I’m not going to stop now.” He smiled. “Anyway, what the hell is going on?”
“Um, well do you remember Sean?” I asked.
“Sean who?”
“Sean Jones. Well did you know he-he killed himself?”
“What!” Harry shouted. “Oh my god. Are you being serious? Wow, I thought he just left school.” He was extremely shocked.
“The two who brought you here, the one with brown hair, Brad… Well that’s Sean’s older brother. That’s why this is happening. He was bullied because of me, I caused it all.” I felt ashamed in myself, it wasn’t just me but I guess it was. I didn’t mean any of it; it was supposed to be a joke but… I guess he took it seriously.
“You can’t blame yourself.”
“I can and I will, I teased him. I and Leila were in our break, you were off with Dylan. I only did it once but everyone saw and they started treating him like crap afterwards because he just took it all, and never argued back. IT IS MY FAULT!”
Harry looked at me with those gorgeous brown eyes and put his hands on my shoulders, “Look, everyone else was to blame, they continued to do it. Let’s not talk about this right now. We need to find a way out!”
