We stay in silence as she walks me along the pavement with one arm slung over her shoulder and my feet dragging slightly. I have a head ache and my eye lids are heavy as I clutch my side. They always kick in the same places and it pisses me off.

"Elsie." She sighs, "We need to do something." She stops and I drop my arm to my side.

"No we don't" I say hobbling past her towards town. It's a pretty long walk. I don't know how Harry carried me all this way.

"Just please let me help you and tell someone." She says with a nagging plead in her eyes.

"No." I say sternly.

"I don't understand w-," She waves her hands and I can tell she's getting angrier.

"Because people will get hurt." I say turning so I am facing her, "My parents will get hurt." I say quieter, "And I don't want that to happen, but don't worry because I will be leaving one way or another."

"Don't say that." She warns, "Elsie it isn't a joke." She grits.

"No shit it isn't a joke." I say, "I never thought this was a joke."

"Good." She says thinning her lips into a line.

"Let's just- just." I put my hand to my forehead and feel the throbbing head ache plaguing me erupt through my temples, "Fuck- just-," I am cut off by a car horn and both of us turn to see a black car pull up next to us. The first thing in my mind is to scream kidnap and run away but when the door opens to reveal a mop of curls and two clear emeralds staring into me I fight that urge, "Harry." I almost whisper.

"Elsie." He says walking towards me and running his hands through his hair.

"What are you doing here?" I ask as the anger swells inside me in the form of tears, "Why aren't you back there with Jane?" Then it hits me. If Jane sees Harry with me I'm dead.

"Please just listen." He says panting, his eyes are red rimmed and puffy and I still grit my teeth at the fact that he has the right to cry, "Please."

"We need to go." Violet says softly grasping my arm and walking with me further down the sidewalk. Harry grips his hair and leans against the car looking after us we walk.

"Mathers." I say feeling an ache run up my ribs.

"Yeah?" She asks worriedly.

"Can I sit down for a second?" I ask shaking her arm off and sitting down on the curb.

"Are you okay?" She asks sitting next to me.

"No." I sigh standing and tugging on my pony tail. Fuck how did it get this bad?

My head suddenly becomes very heavy and I'm a little limp. My chest aches and everything hurts. Like always.

"Elsie." Harry calls from a couple feet away.

"I- I-," I feel my eye lids grow heavy and I fall over into someone's strong arms.

*****

"Elsie." Someone shakes me.

"Else." Another deeper one says just above my ear.

"Wrenn!" A screechy one shouts just behind my lips. My eyes fly open at Violets high pitched shriek and I gasp for breath.
