Glass Wall

Chapter 23

The next morning I'm in a really bad mood. My nightmares have seemed to be getting a lot worse.

At school I don't smile or talk. Honestly I'm too tired to do that. Not because of Harry. Harry doesn't bother me anymore. I've convinced myself that I knew all along this was going to happen.

When Harry walks by me in the hall, I don't dare look at him. I can feel his eyes on me but I never once glance in his direction. When my friends and I turn and walk away to our next class, Jane is walking the opposite direction... towards Harry.

I walk into Bio class sitting down in my regular seat. Harry walks in early today and sits down beside me.

"Jules?" He asks.

"What?" I say turning to him. I don't speak with emotion.

"Are you okay?" He asks me frowning.

"Better than ever." I say.

"Jules you look tired." He states.

"Yes Harry, yes I am." I say looking forward.

"Did I do something to offend you?" He asks questioningly.

"Nope. You're just being yourself right?" I ask him seriously. His face is confused as he stares at me. I look forward as the class starts. Today we're taking notes. I'm glad because I won't have to talk to Harry any longer.

When class finishes, I pack my things together and get up. Harry grabs my arm and turns me around.

"Juliette what's wrong?" He asks seriously. I laugh lightly at his question and shake my head.

"You don't care so why bother asking me?" I retort angrily.

"What? Where did you get that from?" He questions confused.

"Harry just stop. Stop acting like you care and leave me be." I say with no emotion. I turn around walking away from Harry.

Last period is gym outside.

I walk in the trees thinking to myself. Jasmine's team is playing right now so I walk alone.

"Juliette Daniel?" Someone says behind me. I turn around confused.

"Hmmm that's what I thought." Jane smirks in front of me.

"What do you want?" I ask getting annoyed.

"I heard you're Harry's play toy at the moment." She says smirking. She shakes her head and continues.

"Why do you bother? He will never be able to like you like you want him to." She says.

"And this is your business because?..." I ask her with attitude.

"Just warning you. He's going to use you up and then drop you." She says.

"What? Like he always does to you?" I fire back. She laughs at my response.

"No. I don't like relationships. He's just... special." She says smiling. I know what she really means.

"Ya ok." I say sarcastically. "So why are you talking to me?" I ask getting angry.

"Because you look like you care about him." She states.

"You don't even know me." I say angrily.

"I know any girl well enough. They all think the same thing in the beginning. Just stay away. It'll save you some time and heartbreak."

"Why? So you can get him all to yourself?" I ask. "Ugh your pathetic." I say turning around.

"No, he shares his talent with everyone." She says. I continue walking.

"Aw are you not going to stay and chat because you're jealous he constantly hooks up with me?" She asks in a childish tone. I stop and turn around.

"No. I'm leaving because you disgust me." I snarl at her.

"You won't be able to handle him. Only I can because I don't like commitment." She says smiling.

"Then why are you taking your precious time to talk to me when you know he's just going to drop me?" I ask frustrated.

"Oh, helping a poor girl out." She smirks.

"I can deal with myself and do what I want." I answer

"Oh can you? Have you ever actually been touched?" She asks.

"What does that have to do with anything?" I growl at her.

"Everything. He only likes experienced girls. When he finds out that... you haven't, which is obvious, he'll stop seeing you." She says.

"Enjoy him while you have him. He's quite the expert himself." She continues.

"You're a whore." I say turning around.

"Sorry to say but he's going to leave you for me. I'm experienced with him. Oh it's just he's so good. The way he touches me. I find myself using him. I think he uses me too but I don't care. The things he can do with-"

"Shut up." I interrupt.

"Aw are you upset now? Get used to it. He's touched so many girls. The things he does are just-" She snarls.

"Shut up!" I yell at her again.

"Oh sweetie." She says pouting her lips. "You are so blind and stupid."

"Shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you." I growl at her. My mind is taking over. I don't know why I'm getting so mad at her. This shouldn't bother me.

"The way he whispers your name and makes you plead..." She continues smirking.

I lunge at her and pull her hair down throwing her to the floor. She screams out as she falls to the ground. I quickly step back realizing what I have just done. She smiles up at me from the ground.

"See you do care! But he will never care for you." She says.

That's it.

I lunge at her again, jumping on her. I want to cry because of how furious I am. I thrash out at her as she tries to hit me. Suddenly, someone is pulling me off of her. I grunt with frustration trying to get out of the persons grip.

"Jules!" The person yells. I swivel my head around to find Harry.

"Get off me!" I yell tearing myself from his grip. I step over Jane and continue walking away from the both of them.

"Juliette what the hell?!" Harry yells at me. I stop in my tracks and turn around walking back up to him.

"Don't fucking talk to me again, you understand me?" I growl at him.

"What?!" He yells at me frustrated.

"You heard me! Don't talk to me! I know what you were doing with me you asshole. I saw you yesterday Harry. And don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about. You know, everyone was right and I'm disgusted at myself because I didn't listen to them from the start." I say getting upset.

"Now go defend and take care of your little precious one on the ground." I finish.

Harry stands there with his jaw clenched. He doesn't move just stares at me.

I grunt and turn around.

Good...riddance... I repeat to myself.
