"B! Snap out of it!" Jay waved his hand in front of my face.

"Oh sorry, what time is it?" I asked, I was still in a stupor over Harry.

"8, lights are out in 30." Jay said. He seemed a little off today. For some reason he seemed sad.

"Ok, I have to go see you tomorrow for brunch." I rushed to bed. Tomorrow was Sunday. We have the annual Belle and Beast Brunch and I made up at my
mind that I would announce that Parker and I are dating. I'm just asking for trouble, aren't I?

.....
Ahh a beautiful Sunday morning! I get dressed and I'm wearing a golden knee-length dress. I straightened my hair.

"E? Why are you up so early?" Mal said as she yawned.

"M, it's the big brunch today. Ben has a huge surprise wanting for you there." I said, I really hope hadn't forgot.

"Oh my gosh! I completely forgot!" She was panicked.

"Just go into my closet and go the door that says 'Purple AKA this is where you can barrow my clothes M'" She did so and chose a lavender A-Line dress.
Parker showed up and we walked to the garden together. Once I see Harry, I begin to feel sick. He sees me and goes to a table.

"Beth!" I hear Jay say.

"Jay, what's up?" I ask.

"Can I speak to you alone?" Jay asks me.

"Yeah sure" and I walk with him to the rose garden.

"Evie, I never thought I'd say this but you need Harry. Despite what's he's done, he loves you." Jay seemed sad as he spoke.

"He told me he never loved me, Jay. After Chad did what he did, he told me that he never loved me and only wanted to you know..... Harry made me relive that." I sounded numb as I said that, mostly because I was numb thinking about it. Jay face got red, he mumbled something and ran off.

I find Parker as Ben announces that brunch will happen soon. I sit next to Parker and across from Mal. Next to Mal is Ben and on the other side is Harry.

Then Chad comes and sits right next to me. My heart starts races as I look in all directions.

"Everyone I have a big announcement, I would like to make Mal a Lady of the Court." Ben says and Mal gets up and hugs him. Before I can announce Parker and I's relationship, Chad starts touching my leg. I start shaking, but Mal and Ben are speaking to our parents and I feel like I'm going to faint.

I hear Harry whisper "Stop touching her!"

Chad smirked and gripped my thigh.

"Please stop" I said weakly. He didn't. I see Jay walk in and I pray he helps me.

"She said knock it off" Jay said and then he punch Chad. The guards ran quick to escort Jay out.

"Stop! Jay did nothing wrong! He saved me from Chad!" I yelled and they let Jay go. I gave Jay a huge hug. The guards escorted Chad out. I then told everyone what Chad did and was doing to me. I got mounds of support and I then announced Parker and I's relationship. I saw Harry leave and I excused myself to follow him.
