We all stared at our teacher, waiting for him to speak up.
Harry still hadn't showed up, and my adrelin was racing.

"Luke has been beaten up yesterday and he's at the hospital at this moment."

My hands flied over to my mouth covering them and everything just felt weird and dizzy. I haven't really talked to him before yesterday, but he seemed to be so sweet and I felt like it was best if I visited him at the hospital.
There was a knock on the door, and the door opened immediately. It was Harry. Why the hell was he so late? He lookee like a mess and he looked mad.
We made eye contact, but he didn't say a word. He walked over to his seat and put his bag on the floor and almost crash himself on the seat.
"Mr. Styles, would you please tell me why you're late?"

"I-I, my car ran out of gas and I needed to call someone for help."

"Alright, but next time you need to be careful not to be late. I'll give you one more chance."

I couldn't help, but notice the messy outfit he was wearing and as my eyes slide down on his outfit, I noticed his shoes. There was blood on it.
I gasped at the thought of him beating Luke, but I immediately coughed to cover up the gasp.
Harry looked at me as if I was a retard, but I pretended I didn't notice him.
But it couldn't be Harry. No way.
as I put my things back in my bag, the bell rang. I grabbed my things and walked out of the classroom.
"Emily!" I heard Harry call me from behind.
I walked faster when he called out my name again. "Emily, wait!" He screamed.
He grabbed my arms and he almost flipped me over.
"What!" I yelled at him.
"Why are you avoiding me?" He said with a worried face.

"I need to go, i'm busy." And by that he let go of my arm and I walked faster.

I needed to know if he was the one beating Luke up. But before going in all that stuff, I decide to visit Luke at the hospital.

I entered an empty hall, and every move I made, made echo sounds. I walked further and a woman with uniform stepped right infront of me.
"Can I help you?" She asked with a too high pitched voice.
"Uh, Yeah i'm looking for Luke," shit, I didn't even know his last name.
"The guy who was beaten up yesterday." I question more than I state.
"Oh, Luke Hemmings, right this way." I followed her and we both entered an elevator. The ride up was quiet and awkward. The elevator opened and we both exit.
There was a lot more people up here than downstairs, and it made me more comfortable. I looked around and there was sick or injuried people everywhere in the cafeteria. Normal round tables and very clean. A typical hospital I would say.
We walked a little further as we entered another hall.
We made it till the end and I saw a hall with almost a thousand doors. She stopped at room 6 and we both entered. I see Luke with red marks everywhere, and all these strings going up his nose and another one in his arms and it all looked like a total mess. I walked over to him, and after one step, he noticed me.

"Hey, Emily." He said in a raspy voice that sounded tired. I walked towards him and took a seat at the chair next to the bed, I grabbed his hands and hold them.
"Who did this to you?" I said with worry in my voice.
"I really don't know, it was a guy in a black hoodie."

"What about his shoes, do you remember them?" I asked.

"Of course not, I mean who would get beaten up and notice the shoes." he joked. I gave him a friendly push and we both laughed.

"How long are you gonna stay here?" I asked wanting him to say just one more day.

"A week, they're gonna check if everything is alright, but I think my foot is broke. That dude really was strong."

immediately I thought of Harry. I mean he is strong and he wore a black hoodie today, and had greasy hair and blood on his shoes. no way. It was him! What was I gonna do? I needed to be as far away from him as possible, because there was no way that I was gonna be near him again!
