loren's pov
today was amazing! i finally arrived in england to see my best friend, harvey. after the long, long flight, i saw a waving harvey greet me. i smiled and hugged him. "missed you l-dog!" he whispered in my ear. i stayed in our hug. i liked it that way. we went into his car and chatted about life. it was perfect until i got a text from luna. you see luna's my best friend and so is harvey and they're together and somehow i don't really like that. i don't know why.
bestie👭: hey babes! arrived in england yet? give harv his present soon xx
oh no. the present. i havnt dared look. you see luna and harvey are blissfully happy without me. i don't want to mess it up. i love them both too much. as i said, i just don't like it. in fact, i think i might hate it. i quickly type back a reply.
me: arrived fine, thanks bestie! not given it yet will do i promise xxxxx
shoving the phone back in my pocket harvey gives me a confused look. he's so cute when he does that. no, no. loren, he has a girlfriend. anyway, i shrugged my shoulders at him, hiding my face. what is in that present? "loren are you okay?" he said. i could reply. i was in tears...but why. i knew deep down inside i was falling for harvey.

i was so happy to see loren. i don't know what went wrong. we were singing like crazy nutters in the car one minute, she looked at her phone and then she crumbled. she broke out into sobs in my car. i could speak. we arrived home and i just wanted to get loren inside to talk but my keys were gone. "loren. i've lost my keys. mum should be home soon let's wait." i sat the doorstep and loren did too. i hugged her but she shrugged me off. finally, my mum came and let us in. loren ran to the bathroom. i stood outside calling her name. i was scared, she wouldn't self harm would she?

i was sat shaking on the floor of the bathroom. why was i doing this? just give it to harvey, loren. i unzipped my bag. the package was so small. my hands automatically ripped apart the paper. a small box. a box i knew too well what was in. i opened it, even though it was killing me. a ring. an engagement ring. i screamed. their was no use. i couldn't escape it. a knife. a knife in a bathroom? unlikely but there it was. loren, don't do it. loren, stay strong. i could have not done it but i did. i did just as harvey knocked the door down. "loren, what are you doing!" he cried. hugging me. i was getting blood on him but i didn't care. "loren, tell me what it is. i'll always love you. you can tell me anything." he cried desperately. i stop thinking about my pride, my life so i blurted out "what if i told you i'm in love with you and luna bought you an engagement ring?!" harvey stopped. he gave me another hug. harvey tried to talk but was unable to find the words. neither could i. we stayed hugging in the bathroom, both emotional wrecks. "loren, i can't say yes to luna. i don't love her. i need to tell her that." he brought out his phone "lemme call her." and the phone began to ring.
"harvey babes. you got the gift yet?"
"yeah, luna. about that..."
"yes or no, future husband."
"i have to say no. i don't feel the same way about you."
"is there someone else?"
"yeah, but they don't know."
"i'm telling jordyn about this."
"luna, please."
*end of call*
"harvey who is this girl?" my heart pounded as i spoke. harvey loved another girl. i was sad for harvey. he was going to get it from jordyn, one way or another. "loren, they don't know and they can't know. why not? because i don't want to hurt luna too soon. even though she'll have a new boy by tonight." i stood awkwardly. then harvey got a text. i stood there, not wanting to be nosey.

jordyn😕: i'm outside your house. open the door. i'm serious harvey. if you don't open your door, you'll be sorry.
i showed loren my phone. i knew she was trying not to look. she jumped back, petrified. we all know what jordyn is capable of. "loren. wait in my room. peep out the window. let mum know. when your both upstairs shout me, okay?!" i said, trying to be strong. i heard the shout. the shout meant it was time. then, i heard a doorbell and a buzz.
jordyn😕: ding dong. i can see you harvey. come on out.
she couldn't have seen me. i was in a room not visible from the front door. i walked towards the door. outside i saw brandon, jordyns boy friend grabbed me. "hey harvey. i know loren and your mum are inside. i know you'd rather me hurt you than them...so i'm choosing them." she said appearing from inside my house. she left and i was speechless. i tried to grab my phone but brandon held me back. "brandon, i know i hurt your girlfriend's best friend but i couldn't help it. i don't feel the same way about her as i do someone else. it isn't my fault i have feelings for the wrong person. please brandon. what about loren? you're meant to be her friend and your letting your girlfriend beat her up. please let me go." i sobbed into his arms. i needed him to let me go. lor is in danger and so is my mum. it was almost an impossible situation. "do you really think i'm just going to let you go, you idiot? no, i'll do that and go with you." he smiled and we ran. he was being so brave. we walked up to my room and there was jordyn...with a knife...
okay, i feel super bad for portraying jordyn as so bad! i'm sorry so much happens but it is over 1000 words so be proud. i'm actually worried what's going to happen myself haha!
