Christy's POV

"So,he knows everything now." Lora plays her fingers. 

"Yeah,and worst of all is that my dad used to like him but now he thinks Harry is a bad news." I sigh. I have told every detail to Lora,who was surprised at first but soon became calm.

"I think you're brave,well you know,about resisting your dad."

"I think so too." I shrug. "I'm just tired of everything."

"If I were you,I probably would freak out." She rolls her eyes. I know she's trying to calm the intense.

I laugh and she does the same. I have a long time not being so happy. Suddenly my phone rings,Lora and I look at each other. She shrugs. I look at the phone. It's from Darren. I think for a while,but I still pick it up.

"Hey,Darren. What's up?"

"You finally answered the call." It's not Darren's voice on the other side. It's Mark.

I press my lips. I'm not ready to face him yet. Or maybe I don't want to face him anymore.

"Christy just let me-"

Before he can finish,I hang up and sigh.

"Woah,he's smart,knowing to use Darren's phone." Lora says. She is checking her phone now.

I smile. "Well,I think I'm gonna go." I stand up from the table.

"You have class later?" Lora frowns,still sitting on the seat.

"Unfortunately,yes." I groan,holding my crutch.

"Well then,see you at English." She shows sweet smile,waving at me.

Harry's POV

"So,what are you going to thank me?" Ryan smirks from the counter. We're at the coffee shop he works in.

"You didn't help me much." I shake my head and sips my coffee.

"I didn't?" He raises his eyebrow. "I thought I gave you the best information."

"You just let her dad hate me more." I whisper. He laughs,cleaning the counter.

"I bet he never likes you." He smirks.

"Woah,what a comfort bro." I look at him and raise my eyebrow.

He chuckle. "But seriously,her brother is standing for you. He told you everything. And he also told you many things about Christy. He trusts you,a lot."

I smile. I really should thank Josh. If he didn't tell me,I couldn't imagine how long would Christy suffer in this shit. My phone rings. It's the number I have never seen.

"Hello?" I frown,asking carefully.

"Haz?" Oh,this voice sounds familiar. No,it can't be. No,Harry,you're thinking the wrong way.

"Haz? Are you still there?"

"Yes Gem,I'm still here."

-

"Where are you? I can't see you at all." I look around with my phone on my ear.

"I'm at the west exit!" Gemma says and groans.

"Are you sure you're there? Cuz I can't-" Then I see a light brown-haired woman,standing at the sidewalk. She stands on her tiptoes and looks everywhere. I run to her.

"Gem." I poke her shoulder.She turns around at me,grinning.

"Oh my god Haz.I miss you so much!" Gemma hugs me tightly;her face buries in my chest.
