She's Different

Chapter Four

I got home early. Today was hectic, lucky mum was out. I'd get in so much trouble. I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at my mirror. My eyes were red, cheek still stinging and red, my hickey standing out more than anything. 

I decided to run a bath and to calm down. The bubbles surrounded me. I closed my eyes as I let the events of how I left school overplay in my mind.

The fact that I got hit and my hickey will only cause things. I snuck out of the changing rooms. Hanging my head low, avoiding aye contact with people. My bag over my shoulder and my hair hanging covering my face. 

Paramedic's rushed past me, carrying a stretcher and a first aid box. I looked back over my shoulder, eyes following the medics. I turned back and carried on walking, except I walked into someone. My heart skipped a beat. What if it was Liam?

"Ron? Ron whats wrong?" It was Harry, I sighed relieved. Harry lifted my chin up with his finger, his face covered in worry "he did this to you didn't he?" Harry stoked my sore cheek gently.

"Leave it Harry" I said pushing past him but he grabbed my elbow and pulled me back into a hug. I instantly broke down crying, as Harry stroked my head making soothing sounds.

Harry stopped suddenly "Get behind me" he whispered. I looked up at Harry he was staring at something, well someone, when I realized who it was I didn't hesitate and hid behind Harry.

Liam walked up to us both, his cheek with a line of red from where I scratched him. He looked behind us and behind us was the gym.

"How is he?" Liam asked staring at the ground, was he feeling guilty?

"I never knew that Liam Payne had a soft side" Harry mocked. His arm slightly out, protecting me.

"Just amswer the question" Liam backfired, angrily.

"He's going to hospital for a check up, no thanks to you" Harry replied "first my brother now my friend? How low you've sunk"

Liam looked at me, lifting up his hand reaching out to stroke my cheek. Harry stepped forward.

"Harry..." I said calmly. I didn't want Liam to know that I was afraid of him. I steped closer to Liam as he raised his hand to my cheek slowly, his forefinger stroking my cheek

"Did I really do that to you precious?" he asked voice full of sorrow "I'm sorry"

Me and Harry were taken aback by this. Liam Payne said 'Sorry'? 

"I'm sorry I hurt your brother, I'm so sorry I hurt you love" he kissed his fingertips and placed them upon my lips. His eyes travelled to the red mark on my neck, then my eyes.

With that he turned and left. Harry came up behind me and held my by my shoulders.

"You don't honestly believe this guy do you?" He asked sternly, staring me square in the face. "Wait, is that a hickey?!" I covered the lovebite but it was pointless. Harry had seen it, now he'll tell everyone.

"I'm his now" I mumbled. Harry heard. 

"Your no one's property, not unless you want to be. Do you?" 

I shook my head "You've seen what he did to Marcel, he's capable of doing anything. Lets face it. I have to be his, just until he'll get bored of me and find someone else. It's safer that way" I turned, hung my head and began to walk off.

"You can't be serious? You'll get hurt" called Harry.

"Rather me than someone else" I called back.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked walking after me.

"Home!" I shouted, causing Harry to stop walking and stand there in shock. 

And that's how I left him.
