Chapter 4

Erin's POV

"Erin can't we just skip school today?" Luke asked, "I can't really, I skipped yesterday, well not exactly but tomorrow yeah?" I said, he nodded as he got dressed in his uniform, me doing the same, I quickly got ready and went to make some toast for me and Luke, also putting food out for Ace, handing Luke his toast as we slid into my car, yes I decided on taking my car to school now in case something ever happens again, "Don't lose that fucking key Lukey, got it" I said, "Chill Erin, I won't" he said as I dropped him off at school before going to my own school and dismissing rumours as I walked into the building.

Rumours, that reminded me of a certain brown haired girl I had to speak to. Rachel. "ERIN" she screamed running towards me, I slapped her, hard. Everyone was watching, including Harry and his 'gang'. Wait, why did I care if they were watching? "What was that for?" she asked, "You should know not to start rumours Rachel, especially about me, just you wait, I will get you back for telling people my biggest secret, how could you" I said with tears in my eyes, her eyes widened in realisation.

"How did you find out?" she asked, "Harry Styles told me" I spoke up, "And you believed him?" she asked, "How else would he fucking have guessed Rachel, I can't believe you" I said before punching her and walking away simply, I walked into someone, I looked up and saw Harry and the rest of his mates standing there, he helped me up, "Nice punch" he said smirking, I chuckled, "She deserved it" he said, "She's so lucky I want to keep my good reputation or she'd be lying on that floor begging for fucking mercy" I growled, "Feisty" I heard one of the lads behind Harry say, I looked behind him and saw the messy haired lad smile, "I'm Max and I like you" he said, "Um, I'm Erin and I guess I like you too" I said chuckling as everyone else introduced themselves, all 6 of them.

"Why are we even doing this?" I asked, "What would you say about joining us?" Harry asked, "What? Harry yesterday we both said that didn't change anything, I stand by my words" I stated, "Come on Erin, it's not like any of them are doing anything good for you, they told everyone about your father" Harry said, "And the bad boys are meant to be better friends? Sound legit" I said raising my eye brow slightly.

"Erin, just--" I cut him off, "No Harry, last night meant nothing and you know it did, we don't work out you and I spells trouble, we can't be 'friends' or whatever you want us to be, just simply cause we don't get along" I stated before walking away, "We could try and get along" Harry mumbled, I let out a throaty laugh, "Why do you suddenly care so much about me? After I told you everything about my father you start caring-oh my god, you just feel pity for me don't you?" I screamed, "What? No, of course not Erin, I don't feel pity for anyone and you know that" he shouted back, "See, we can't even go five minutes without arguing" I stated.

"We didn't argue last night" he said, "Harry just leave it" Max said as he pulled Harry away, a few girls came up to me, "Oh my god Harry Styles fancies you, clearly he would go for you" one said, I was slightly taken aback, "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked scornfully, "No, no, I never meant nothing bad, honest. I mean cause your so beautiful and have this perfect life" she said, I smiled and excused myself to the bathroom.

I wish people would stop saying I had a perfect life, I had anything except a perfect life, my parents never cared about me, I live with a man that raped me and lies to my mum, I practically take care of my brother, my puppy is my best friend and the only person I can seem to trust is my 14 year old brother, and nobody trusts a 14 year old boy, except me of course, cause I trust everyone, until they give me a reason not too.

Maybe I should do that with Harry? I mean, what have I got to lose?

Ill tell you, you're going to lose your 'good girl' reputation that you've tried to hard to retain.

Well maybe I want to lose that reputation, maybe I want to show people what I'm really like, and that's what I am going to do.

I left school early, not bothering too much, it was almost lunch anyway, I drove to Luke's school and went in, making up the excuse he had the dentist and I forgot to call them this morning, they let Luke out, "Thought you weren't skipping today?" he asked, "Well I changed my mind, come on we're going to the hairdressers an then the piercing place" I said, "What? Why?" he asked, "I'm letting the real me pay a visit, my hair is going bright red and I'm getting my nose, lip and tongue pierced today. Oh and I want a new belly bar" I said, "Anything else you need? A new wardrobe?" He asked, "Nope, got the wardrobe I want already, rocky" I said as we arrived at the hairdressers.

A couple of hours later my hair was bright red and I had a fringe, "Come on Lukey, we gotta go to the piercing place and then I gotta take my baby out a walk" I said, he chuckled, "That dog might as well have its own bedroom" he said, "It should, too bad there's not enough rooms in the house" I said chuckling as we got in an I told the man what I wanted, "Are you sure you're ready?" he asked, I nodded as he did my to hue first, then my lip and then my nose, they were painful but worth it, "Can I buy a new belly bar too?" I asked, he nodded and motioned for me to pick one, I picked a plain silver one with a red diamond in it, the man charged me for everything and we left, that it I was officially rooked, "You're so lucky there's food and such in that house or we'd be living hungry until mum and dad get home" I said chucking, "Didn't they leave you money?" Luke asked.

"You're joking right?" I asked, he shook his head no, "They never leave me money Luke, I have to ask for money all the time and save up in case I need it or if I feel creative, like today" I said chuckling as we got to the house and I made us pasta with a garlic sauce and garlic bread.

"I like when it's just us two" Luke said, "Correction, there's three of us, Ace is as much of family as you are" I said chuckling, he laughed as we fell on the couch after the long walk with the dog, "One day Luke, you'll come and live with me and Ace and it will just be us three and whoever is unlucky enough to fall in love with me" I said, he stopped smiling, "Don't do that Erin" he said, "Do what?" I asked, "Don't put yourself down like that, you're a perfect girl and you're beautiful and you're my favourite person ever, I'm so lucky to have you and any guy will be too" he said sternly, I smiled as I embraced him in a hug.

We say like that until my phone rang, I answered it quickly, "Hello?" I asked, "Its Harry, can I come over?" he asked, "I guess" I said as he hung up and I assumed he was on his way over, "Who was that?" Luke asked, "Harry" I shrugged, "Who's he?" he asked, "A guy from my school that I just can't seem to stop thinking about, but we hardly get along very well" I said, he nodded as we sat and played with Ace until Harry came to the door.

"Harry this is my brother Luke, Luke this is my, uh, this is Harry" I said, I didn't know what to call him, he's not my friend is he? I don't know.

"Why are you here Harry?" I asked as Ace came pounding into the room, it was funny because he was so heavy on his paws and then you turn around and see this tiny creature running towards you, "Is this your dog?" Harry asked, "No I stole him from my neighbour" I said holding back a giggle, "Funny, you could of been doggy sitting" he said, "Nope this is my baby" I said, "And when she says baby, she means it, that dog gets treated like a human!" Luke said, "Does not" I defended, "Erin, it has its own bed" Luke said laughing, "He doesn't like sharing with me cause I take all the covers" I said, this caused Harry to laugh as well.

"Luke will you give us a minute?" I asked, "Sure, come on Ace" Luke said, "Don't hurt my baby" I yelled, "I like your hair. And your piercings" Harry commented, "Me too, they're wicked aren't they" I said, he chuckled and nodded, "Please give me a chance Erin, to at least be friends? And for you to be in our group?" he asked, "Fine, its not like I have anything to lose anyway" I said.
