Hide and Seek h.s

Chapter 4

After returning home it was almost six. I went upstairs and changed into leggings and an oversized shirt.

I was looking forward to tomorrow with Niall. I'm intrigued by that house.

It's so odd. And then there was the crazy woman and beautiful boy. Harry.

I remembered the look in his eyes. He looked so lost, innocent and sad. Drained of happiness. It reminded me of how I used to look at myself in the mirror, when I used to cut.

I glanced down at the pale scars on my arms. I'm glad I overcame my self harm but I often think about it. The release.

"Bethan, we're home and we have Chinese" my mum shouted from downstairs.

"Coming" I shout back. I didn't realise how hungry I was.

As soon as we all sat down I was bombarded with questions

"So Bethan, what have you been up too today? You haven't just stayed at home have you?" my dad asks.

"No dad I went out for a walk and then had coffee in a local caffe" I answer in monotone.

"Oh that's nice! Where did you go for a walk?" my mum questions.

"Oh just around the block" I lie, thankfully I'm a good lier.

After a horrifically long conversation with my parents about the importance of motivating children into learning I went upstairs.

I looked at my phone and I had 2 new messages. The first was from my best friend in London, Luke Hemmings.

Hiiiiiiii Beth!!!! You have no idea how boring school was today without you there to make fun of the teachers with me :( Skype tomorrow (if that place even has an internet connection)

Love youuuuuuu!! xxxxxx :)

I smiled at his text and replied.

I then looked at the second text from an unknown number saying.

You still up for tomorrow? If not I will cut a bitch.

Niall xx

I smiled and replied with

Yeah, meet at 7 at the caffe?xx

He replied with a

Yeah that's cool, see you then! Goodnight!!x

A/N~

Got to have a bit of Luke Hemmings right?
