Fallin for you

chapter 8

i ran into a student, it was dylan. dang it he already hates me why give him a reason.

"oops im so sorry dylan. i wasnt looking"

i helped him pick up his binder that fell.

"its okay"

he rolled his eyes and pushed me aside. it was finally lunch time and i just wanna go home. as in back to Massachusetts. everyone there was nice and welcoming and here everyones judgy and rude. i dont have any friends except for harry but it seems like ive already lost him. i sat down alone as usual, i felt tears form in my eyes and one roll down from my cheek. i felt someone sit down across from me. i wiped my tears and looked up and saw emily.

"why are you crying?"

i shook my head no.

"dont worry about it"

i croaked out.

"look i dont hate you, hannah and dylan make it seem like i hate you but i dont. sure they may hate you but they shouldnt because you seem so sweet. and i dont like harry anymore. see i didnt tell dylan or hannah because they think me and harry would be perfect but i stopped liking him a month ago when this guy named luke came to this school. and we are dating but nobody really knows yet. well now you do but dont tell anyone please"

she smiled at me

"why do they hate me so much? i didnt do anything to them"

"i guess you'll have to ask them because everyone in this school has a secret and no one gonna spill"

i managed to get through the day and once i got home i perked up because emily gave me her number and were beginning to become friends.

its been about a week and harry hasnt showed up to school. i called and texted him and ive had enough. im going to his house. i told my mom and she told me to call her if anything happened. i sprinted to his house and knocked on the door. while i waited for his dad to get to the door i caught my breath. he whipped open the door. he reacked of alcohol and looks like he hasnt showered in awhile.

"what do you want"

"i was wondering if harry was home"

"uh yeah he is"

"can i see him"

"no"

"why not"

"he doesnt want visitors"

"how do you know that"

i was gonna get into this house somehow i dont care if i have to beat harrys dad up.

"because he just doesnt"

"well can you at least go and ask. my names aubrey just say i wanna talk to him"

"he has his phone just text him"

i looked beyond his dad and saw harrys phone right there smashed on the floor.

"no he doesnt"

"how do you know"

"because i wasnt born yesterday its right there"

"well your a smart cookie. come on in"

he smirked at me

"wheres his room"

"who needs harry when you have me"

"i need harry, who even wants you"

his face turned red with boiling anger. i ran up the stairs and yelled for harry. i heard a soft cry for help in the door at the end of the hallway.

"DONT GO IN THERE HE DOESNT WANT VISITORS!"

i ran to his room for dear life. thank the lord it has a lock. and about 5,000 more locks. weird. i called my dad

"dad go to harrys right now. hurry"

"why whats happening sweetie"

"his dads a psycho, please dad"

"okay honey be right there find a safe place"

my dad sounded pissed. i turned around a saw what i thought was harrys room. it was basically a dungeon. the walls and floor were cement. it was basically a jail cell. harry was handcuffed onto the wall. he looked limp and lifeless. he was tiny and badly beaten. he had several cuts whip marks and burns.

"harry what the heck happened here!?"

i looked around the room then checked the top of the door and there was a key. it was for the handcuffs! i called 911.

"hello? yes. please come immediately"

i took harry down from the wall and he fell on the floor. i tried to stop some of the bleeding. i took my sweatshirt off and wrapped it around badly bleeding sections. soon i could hear sirens. i opened the window and saw ambulances and cops and my dads car just pulled in. he probably didnt know where harry lived. i yelled

"AMBULANCE UP HERE!"

they saw me and gave me a thumbs up and rushed into the house. i could hear yelling and fighting downstairs.

"am i gonna die?"

harry whispered.

"of corse not harry. your safe now. im here the ambulance is here. youll be okay just stay awake"

he struggled to keep his eyes open but i talked to him the whole time to keep him interested. i told him funny stories. once we got onto the ambulance car and he was all set but slowly drifting.

"harry remember when you told me about your little sister? tell me more about her please"

i began to cry knowing i could possibly loose the only true friend i had. well one of my only true friends.

"shee.. had brownish hair... and b-blue eyes"

"what was her name?"

"r-raylen"

"i love that name. you'll get to see her again"

"n-no i won-t"

"why's that"

"b-because she l-left"

"left to where"

"w-with my m-mom"

"you'll see her again i promise."

the back doors flung open and he was wheeled to the ER and i followed with my dad behind me

"you really care about him eh?"

"yeah alot dad, he was my only friend when i came to the school. my first day he helped me around and sat with me and everything. i have to be there for him like when he was there for me"

he hugged me and kissed my forehead

"he'll be okay"

we waited for a long time and my mom soon came.

"oh aubrey you did such a good thing. you saved him baby you saved him"

i saved him.
