HIM

CHAPTER 37

SOPHIA'S POV:
I entered the house and then went to the kitchen to eat something. I ate a bowl of K cereals and milk, as always. I think that mum is here because she told me that she will be home all day. I have to think about a way to persuade her to let me go with Harry on that trip, though I think I am gonna change my mind about it. No, I promised him and I can't do that to him, he begged me alot. But he left me in one of the most times I needed him to be with me. Oh, I am sick of it.

I had a headache due to the overthinking and I went to the bathroom to bring some pain killers from the First Aid cupboard. I looked at the mirror and found that I looked like shit, I have to take a shower. I brought some pajamas and my bath bag and had a warm bath. It helped me relax alot and reduced that overthinking that drained all of my energy. I got out of the bath tub, I was going to wear my clothes but I stopped.

What if I had to wear a swimsuit in that trip? Oh my god I have to buy some, last time I went to the beach was about three years ago and no way in hell my old swimsuits still suit me. Oh and I have to shave as well. I took out the razor and started shaving then I heard a the front door opens. It must be mum, Thank god I have finally found a way to persuade her to let me go with Harry on the trip.

I finished shaving, putting on my clothes, doing my hair as a whirlpool so it would be admirable when I go with Harry. I ran back to my room and put my bath bag. I ran down to see mum sitting around the island of the kitchen beside my stuff. I approached her.
"Hey mum."
"Hey Sophy." She looked at me anf then looked back at what she was holding.
"What are you doing?"
"I wanted to know what time it is."
"Okay." she was holding my mobile.
"When did you come?"
"About half an hour or so."
"Okay."
"Where have you been?"
"I was in the market."
"Oh okay."  I sat beside her and then I was getting ready to tell her about the trip. We sat silently for a little while and then she started to cook. I helped her to chop some vegetables for the dinner.

"Mum.."
"Yes?"
"I wanna ask you something but please say yes."
"Are you gonna purpose to me or what?" She said sarcastically, she is in a good mood. Luckily.
"Yeah, would you marry me?" I kneeled infront of her and opened my hand, there was a slice of olive.
"Yes." She put her hands on her face as is she is surprised and then I took the slice of olive and put it in her pinkie.
We both laughed. I stood up and then sat again around the island of the kitchen.
"No, now I am serious."
"Okay what do you want?"
"Can I-I go on a trip?"
"Is it organised by the school?"
"Actually.. No."
"Who then?"
"Harry."
"Like you and Harry, alone."
"Y-Yes."
"Okay."
"What?" I couldn't believe my own bloody ears.
"I have no problem with it, you can go with him."
"Oh mum, I love you so much."
"And you do him too." She said. I hugged her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I said and then took my phone to call Harry. I went upstairs to my room and called him more than once but everytime the answer machine answers. I started to het worried. I decided to go to his house and then go shopping for the trip. I got dressed into a blue jeans and a plain white short t-shirt. I made my hair as a bun, which was perfect actually. I put on a pair of vans shoes and grabbed a black bag. I went downstairs again to tell mum.
"Mum I am gonna go to Harry's house and we may go shopping."
"Okay but don't be late."
"Okay mum."
"Wait."
"What?"
"Take some money from my purse, it's on the counter."
"No mum I have enough money thanks."
"Just take it and buy whatever you want."
"Okay mum thank you so much."
I took some money from her purse and went to the front door.
"I am leaving mum, love you."
"Enjoy."
I started walking down the street thinking of what has changed mum so much. I love this change I can't deny that but why? May she felt that she is wrong or re-thought about me and Harry. I don't know, it doesn't matter. Most importantly she agreed on our trip.. Iam so happy. This made me forget about all what had happened today at school. It doesn't matter anymore, I can just forget about it. Everyone make mistakes.

I reached Harry's house. I found Emily's car parked infront of the house. Did they come back? They should come in two days or so. I should try to call Harry again to tell him that I am here so he won't be surprised or worried. I called him again but he didn't answer again. I gave up and then I knocked on the door but, I found that it was already opened. What the hell? May he is in the backyard or something. I am
gonna get in and surprise him amd of course Karen and Emily will be inside.

As soon as I entered, I heard a very
loud blast, it was coming from on my right. I ran towards the noise and then I was paralysed.

Harry was lying on the floor with a lot of bloof around him and a huge man standing holding a baseball bat in his hand with  some blood on it. It's his father.
