Menace (Harry Styles Dark Fanfiction)

Chapter Eleven - "Hope you had a nice sleep last night Layla. I certainly did"

I felt someone’s hand on my arm, shaking me.

Burying my head further into my pillow I let out a low groan.

“Layla honey, you’ve slept through your alarm.” I knew it was my mother, but I was way too tired to get out of bed right now.

“Layla, get up.” Mum said a lot louder this time, making me cringe.

“Fine, that’s it.” She announced after no movement from me.

Suddenly, I felt the cold air nip at my bare legs and around my stomach where my shirt had risen up in my sleep.

“Mum.” I whined, curling up into a ball as she threw my warm duvet off my bed and down onto the floor.

“You’ll thank me later.” She said, walking out my room.

“I doubt it.” I mumbled back, just as she shut my door. Reaching out to grab my phone I checked the time.

7:50am.

My first period started at 9:00am, but I only had two this morning thank goodness. One first thing, and the other just before lunch. Then I was free to go home.

After I dragged myself out of my pit I took a shower and pondered over last night. I had to stop this. It was too early and I couldn’t be dealing with thoughts of Harry right now, I’d go crazy.

Once I was showered and dressed I ran down the staircase to snatch a piece of toast from the toaster, and I spread a large dollop of Marmite across it.

“Mum, can you take me this morning. My car’s at Ollie’s.” I moaned, knowing she would.

“Sure, just give me a moment.” She called back from the front room. I peeped through the door and saw her setting the recorder for some film later. Important, huh?

Once we were in the car I checked the time on my phone again. I had a thing about being late for school. I hated it.

8:28am.

Not bad considering I didn’t get up until late.

“Ok so your Dad’s got a meeting tonight and won’t be in until 9ish, and I’ve got to take your Grandma to a doctor’s appointment at lunch so you’ll have to get the bus home since you don’t have your car. Are you getting the bus to Ollie’s?” She asked. My mum could talk for England if she wanted.

“Yeah, I’ll leave after my last period and get the bus straight to Ollie’s. I think he’s out all day on Monday’s though.”

Mum nodded and soon we were outside one of the college out-buildings.

“See you tonight sweetie. Don’t get into any trouble!” Mum joked, and only recently would I have to start taking that into consideration.
