Chapter 14

I woke up the next morning at 6.30 to the sound of my alarm, that always made me want to sink further back into my bed. It was Monday morning, I was back to Uni today and I was looking forward to a drama free day today. I dragged myself out of bed and downstairs. As I entered the dining room an awkward silence filled the air. No one spoke to me and they all looked away from me. My heart began to race. My mind made up a thousand reasons why they were not speaking to me. I moved into the kitchen and made myself some toast. I then re-entered the dining room and sat down. I looked at each of them hoping for a glance but nothing. I didn't know what to do.

'Mum' I squeaked.

But no response. What had I done that was so bad that they wouldn't talk to me. Had I insulted them, betrayed them, hurt them. I bit my toast and swallowed it as it scraped down my all ready dry throat I noticed what my dad was reading and I gasped, slightly too loud. Last night was splattered all over the front page. Now I was lost for words. I did the only thing I could think of. I stood up and ran upstairs leaving them to clear up after me. Last night flashed back through my mind clear as day, as I entered my bedroom. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my phone off the cabinet. 3 missed calls and 5 messages flashed onto the screen. Shit Ari and Rose. I open the text from Ari,

*Dude, where are you call me?*

And another,

*Harry is here, are you okay?*

The texts from Rose were mostly the same. I quickly typed a reason for my sudden exit last night.

*Sorry I felt ill last night so I left early and phone was dead*

It was now 7, I had an hour to sort myself out. I slowly got changed, shoving a pair of skinny jeans on and pairing it with a baggy jumper. I brushed my teeth and threw my hair into a ponytail. I chucked the necessary and unnecessary items into my bag and headed downstairs. I pulled my boots up my feet and slung my coat on.

'Bye Mum' I called.

'Wait, I will give you a lift' she replied.

Oh yeah, now she wanted to talk to me. Well no.

'Its ok Mum' I said, trying to keep my anger in.

'I want to talk to you' she slightly whispered.

'Can we not later I am going to miss the tube' I spoke, slightly angry.

She grabbed her keys and put her jacket on. What was she doing, I was so confused and it was only 8, I was dreading the rest of the day. She said nothing, just looked at me.

'Fine' I huffed, and we walked to her car.

I didn't know if I could have survived a 20 minute car drive with her after this morning. The best way was to ignore her, see how she liked it. The first 5 minutes were awkward, neither of us said a word. The silence was awful.

'Sam?' She questioned.

I ignored her and looked out the window.

'Sam?' She repeated, a bit harsher.

I was not going to give in.

'Samantha!' She was getting angry now.

Another minute passed, without a word spoken.

'SAMANTHA ANSWER ME' she yelled.

I turned to her, I had never seen her so angry before I didn't know what to say.

'Sorry Mum was I ignoring you, let me think what does that remind you of, oh yeah the fact you did it too me at breakfast' I spat harshly.

I had never spoken to her like that, but she had no one else to blame.

'I-I- Sam honey I' she spluttered.

'You what, come on?' I spat again.

'I didn't know what to say to you this morning' she said, a little scared.

'What a lie' I shouted.

'I didn't know how you would react' she mumbled.

'To what Mum, you saying morning I would have said it back'

'No, to the whole Harry situation'

'What, Harry situation'

'The newspaper'

'Since when do you care about what is in the newspaper'

'When my family are in it then I do'

'OMG'

'This is why I didn't want to mention it'

'Well you have now, and there is no Harry situation alright'

The car came to a sudden holt, when we reached the university. I got out and slammed the door without saying another word. I felt like crying and breaking down right there. Harry had caused me nothing but trouble and I just couldn't take anymore. I walked through the doors holding myself together. I walked along the corridor and into English Literature, for once I was looking forward to it.

As I walked in, my face lit up as I saw Kimberly, Aaron and Josh. My other best friends. I dashed over and gave them all hugs.

'You will not believe what a two weeks I have had' I gasped.
