Scared

Tom POV:

I opened the door and walked into the house.

"We're home!" I called out.
No answer.
"Maybe there gone off." Harry shrugged.
"No really. I thought they heard but didn't say anything." I said sarcastically.
Harrison laughed.

We walked up stairs and we went to our rooms. Harrison sat on my bed and played with Tessa while I unpacked. Tessa suddenly jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. She came back and started barking.

"Tessa stop." I said putting my hand out.
She just started turning in circles, signalling for me to follow her.
"No Tessa, I'm busy."

She walked over to my suitcase and took out a t shirt and walked out the door.
"Tessa! Drop it."
"I'll go get it." Harrison said.

I nodded and continued sorting out my suitcase.

Harrison POV:

I followed Tessa as she ran.

"Tessa stop. Come here girl."

She stopped and dropped the T shirt. I went to pick it up when Tessa started whining.

"What's up girl?"
She just looked at the door that she stopped beside. She started scratching at it with her left paw.
"What's wrong  girl?"

She turned to me and then back at the door. I heard crying from the other side of the door. I realized that this was Lines (Carolines) room. I went to open the door but something was blocking it. I knocked and the crying stopped.

"Line"I spoke.
"What Harrison?"

"Open the door."
"No."
I heard her get up and the lock click.
"Caroline, open up or I will get your brothers." I turned the handle.
"No, go away." 

I heard her start crying again. I ran back to Toms room. Harry was now there on the bed. They looked towards me when I ran in.

Tom POV:

Harry walked into the room.

"What was Tessa barking at?" He asked as he sat on my bed.
"I dunno. Harrisons gone to check and to get my t shirt back."
"she took your t shirt?" He laughed.
"Oh yea, it's so funny." I rolled my eyes.

Harrison ran into my room.
"Haz. What's up?" I asked.
"Caroline in her room and I think she's crying. She locked the door aswell." He said.
"what" I said as we all ran to her door.

I knocked on her door.
"Caroline."
No response.
"Caroline open up." I knocked louder this time.
"Go away." She cried.
" Come on Caroline, open the door. We can hear your upset, just open the door and tell us what's wrong." Harry pleaded.
"No, go away." She called back.

I turned to Harrison.
"In my room there is a chest of drawers. Open the second drawer and at the bottom there should be a key. Bring it here."
He ran off and came back with the key.
"Caroline open the door or we will open it ourselves." I called to her.
"Just leave me alone." She cried.

I got the key off Harrison and unlocked the door. Caroline was lying on the bed with her back from us. She turned and sat up, facing us. I could see tracks from where her tears fell.

"Do you ever listen to me?" She asks.
"Not really no." I smiled.
"So what you doing back? I thought you weren't going to be back till next week?"
"We just said that to surprise you all. The main thing is you. What's up" Harry asked sitting beside Clar (Caroline).
"Noting." She said.
"Well it isn't noting if your crying over it. Come on Caroline, what's going on?" i asked.
"Just ..... noting." She cried again.
I noticed a bruise on her wrist. I grabbed it.
" How did you get this?" I pulled her sleeve back.
"Oww. I fell and tried to break my fall but instead fell on it awkwardly.."
"Looks like something only a person could do. Did someone hurt you?" Harrison asked.
"No. Why would they?"
We shrugged. She yawned.
"Tired?" Harry asked.
She shrugged.
"Go to sleep. If your not up by dinner we'll wake you, ok?" I said.
"Can one of you  stay?" She asked.
"Course. Harry?"
"Yea ok"

We walked out and shut the door. I collected my t-shirt off the ground.

"She'll be ok, won't she Harrison?" I asked my best friend.
"Yea, Tom, she will. But, I've never seen her like that, scared"
"I haven't either. Well, ok I have, but not that scared."
"You think somethings happening that we don't know about?"
"I don't know Harrison. But I do know the one person that would."
"Sam" we said together.
