Chapter 3:

*Claire's P.O.V*

Who did he think he was coming here asking me why nobody cared about me? Like what sort of question is that! Oh my gosh I hate him, I hate that the fact his beautiful green eyes go perfect with his brown curls, No Claire shut it you couldn't care for him. I had to do something so I let out a ear piercing scream. "Calm down, so what's wrong? You just keep pacing back and forth in the kitchen" I turned around to Marcus at the back door leaning against the door frame.

"Oh it just you, I'm just so annoyed, some Harry dude came here and asked if I wanted to ride in his fancy car to school just because he took me home last night"

"Maybe he's good for you" He said before walking off, what?! You gotta be kidding me he is NOT I repeat NOT good for me! Has he even seen all his tattoo and piercings. I looked at my watch again Jenna should be here by now. I picked up my bag checked if the back door was locked it was luckily Marcus had locked it for me, He had always had the key for my house just in case Nathan came round or if I was in trouble. I started to walk to the front door but I had forgot my phone upstairs I quickly jogged upstairs to get my phone. I had a text off Jenna:

I can't come in today, I've been sick why don't you ask Styles if he can take you to school-Jen'xox

BANG! "Fuck, Who's there?" I shouted out I walked towards the bathroom where the noise had come from but there was there but my window was wide open. I closed it and noticed that the mirror had something written on it with a red lipstick that Jenna had got me for my birthday once but I never wore it, I looked at the mirror and it said 'I'm always near' I thought nothing of it, it was properly some kid from down the road pissing about. So I ran downstairs to go catch the bus before I'm late for school and texted Jenna about what had happened all this morning. When I got on the bus Harry was right it was packed so I had to stand up next to some Baby that was crying its eyes out and an old man that offered his seat for me but rejected him I didn't want him standing up.

I should have just came with Harry, how pathetic did I sound right now. So I thought about the bathroom today I quickly got my phone and texted Marcus

Heyy Marcus, can you just check my bathroom for me because someone wrote something on my mirror which kinda freaks me out-Claire

Marcus had always been there for me.

*Flashback*

I was stood there on top of my house ready to jump, my brother and his friend were in the house properly getting high and there on the lawn was Marcus and my Dad.

*End of flashback*

I was 11 and ready to jump and die 6 years after my dads death and still heart broken. People said I had gone crazy but even Marcus had felt his presence and thought he had saw him in the corner of his eye but Marcus was there for me.

It was my stop and I walked off the bus thanked the bus driver and then walked into the school gates. I was a few minutes late but I didn't care I heard a few foot steps behind so I turned around it was Harry, out of all people I didn't want to see right now was him. I tried to walk a bit faster but his long strides caught up to me pretty fast. "So where's your car?" I asked him if I had to walk with him I didn't want to make it awkward and uncomfortable.

"Well its kinda embarrassing" He said starting to scratch the back of his neck a grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled it back down to his side

"Don't do that" I warned him, My dad did it all the time when he was nervous, scared, thinking, confused you name it.

"Harry! Claire! Have a nice catch up? Get to class! I expect it off you Styles but never off you Claire you have always been such a good girl" Mr Machen said. He was Rhys' dad and never really liked me, Jenna or Marcus because Rhys raped me and he never believed me. "Wanker" Harry muttered under his breath when he walked off, well at least he got one thing right I had art first and when I got there I was already 15 minutes late. I walked in with Harry behind me, wait was he in this class? I didn't see him here yesterday. Everyone looked at us with the same face, uh no I mentally face palmed myself I knew what they all was thinking, Harry came up closer to me and whispered "I wish we did what they are thinking right now" It sent shivers down my spine he walked off not breaking eye contact once and biting his lip. He sat down then I realised that I was still stood up and Harry was sat in my place, I walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar, he might be cute but no way he could say that to me and get away with it. "Your in my place dick" I spat. Everyone just looked at me with their mouths open even Mr Howard are art teacher he was new here and probably didn't know what to do. Harry just smirked at me and got up to an empty seat which was next to me. Mr Howard clapped his hands together "Well how nice! Now let's get back to class" My phone started to vibrate so I looked at it. I had two texts one of Jenna and the other off Marcus I opened Jenna's first

You missing me yet?-Jen'xox

I texted her back saying:

I'm missing you tons, but you should have seen everybody's face in art when I walked in late with Harry, then he had to ruin it by whispering in my ear 'I wish we did what they was saying' Like who says that! So I kinda grabbed his collar and just told him he was in my seat yea...I'll come round later and tell you more about it-Claire'xxx

I quickly pulled up Marcus' text which said:

Hey Claire, I've just checked it, I would advise you to stay with Jenna or that Harry dude tonight just in case&Do you want me to clean it up?-Marcus

I quickly texted him back

No way I'm I staying with that Dick, he's such a dick. I'm going Jenna's after school so I'll ask her then and can you please clean it up for me, Thanks Marcus-Claire

"You do know that you're not allowed to go on your phone in class, right?" Harry asked.

"Well yea shut it curly" I whispered back before Mr Howard walked up to us.

"As for you two, you can come after school for detention" He said. I walked up to where everybody else was stood. They was all getting paint brushes and water colour it looked like we was finishing off a pictures from yesterday. "Nice one, I've not seen anybody stand up to him like that before" I heard somebody say while patting my back. I just got my things and sat back down I finished my work, I drawn a picture of my sister Megan, with a pink bow in her hair she was 2 years older than me so last time I seen her she was 7 the picture is how she looked at her last dance class I saw her go to. I wonder if she still does her dance or if she's doing something else right now. I wonder if she thinks of me like she promised. I quickly snapped out my thoughts and washed my things then put them away when I went back to my seat Harry had took my work and he was looking at it for ages. "Do you have a problem with my work?" I asked pulling it away from him and writing 'To my dear Megan, I will always miss you' at the bottom of the page.

"It's amazing, who is the picture of?" And this is where the questions start.

"Its a picture of my sister" I said pointing to the message at the bottom of the page.

"Oh, I'm so sorry she's died hasn't she? I shouldn't have said anything" He said putting his face into his hands.

"No its fine, she's not dead" I said sighing and thinking about my family and how much I missed them.

"Then why does it say you will always miss her?" He said pointing to the bottom of the page I sighed again.

"Because we spilt up when I was five and she was 7" His face went pale like he had seen a ghost and he put his face in his hands again "Don't worry about it Harry, you didn't know, hardly anybody does" I said rubbing his back its weird when I talk about my past its uncomfortable but not with Harry it feels like I'm talking to Jenna or Marcus somebody I've known half my life and can really trust "Please don't tell anyone, I don't like people knowing my past" I said pulling his face up so I could see him "Promise" he whispered.

It was the end of the lesson and I walked out the class to my next one, it was Maths I hated maths. I walked in and sat down next to the window. Ten minutes into the class and one of Harry's friends walked in. He looked straight at me I didn't know his name. He walked over ignoring the teacher.

"You're in my seat!" He said clenching his teeth.

"Tough luck you're going to sit somewhere else today" I told him leaning back.

"Mr. Payne headteachers office now for being late and disrupting class" He walked out and the class went quiet again.
