Chapter 4

I kept apologizing to Joey about Harry's actions, and every time i did, Harry's voice popped in my head reminding me at how pathetic i am for apologizing for something i haven't done.

We walked back to my room, and i was definitely surprised when i saw Karen there, when she saw me she rushed to my side, hugging me sideways, reassuring me that everything's okay.

"I heard what happened downstairs, I'm really sorry" she apologized, worry flashing in her blue eyes.

"It's okay, i'm used to him being rude" i said and walked over to my bed, resting on it, i haven’t realized how tired i was until now. 

"And son are you okay? i’m really grateful for you saving my baby" she asked looking over to where Joey was standing, she really is caring.

"Well, i'll be okay" he said showing a hint of a smile, but wincing in pain afterwards.

"That's great to hear, i'll be in the nurse office if you want me" and with that, she exited the room.

"I need to get going now" he said shifting his wait from one foot to the other "we can meet up tomorrow?" he half suggested, half asked.

"Sure, thanks for everything you've done to me, i really appreciate it" i praised him, walking up to him, spreading my arms for a hug.

"Maybe you can take my number and we can text?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck after we pulled away from our short hug.

"Sure, here you go" i said handing him my phone, he took it, typed his number, and gave it back to me.

"Thank you" i said genuinely, he excused himself and exited the room, leaving me alone to my thoughts. Harry's the most hated person on my list at the moment, i keep reminding myself that he may have excuses for his violent behaviour, and maybe he has. But he shouldn’t put it on me or anyone for that matter.

I sighed getting out of bed before checking my phone, i had a text from an unknown number, i opened it.

'hi Ana this is Niall'  it read, so i quickly saved him to my contacts, before texting back. 

'Hi, How are you? xx'  i texted back, i always thought that it was cute to add an 'x' or two at the end of a text .

'i'm gd, hbu?' he texted back a minute or so later, making me cringe at his text. i absolutely hated the way teens text these days, you either text the full word, or don't text.

'i'm great, thank you for asking.’ 

'Harry told me what he did earlier, he says he's srry' he texted back soon after, i highly doubt that Harry's sorry, but i don't think Niall would lie at something like this. 

'it's fine' i answered simply. 

‘cool'  he answered back, i decided to take another shower to help myself relax. 

…

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my self as i forgot to bring my clothes inside, i walked to my wardrobe, getting out some sweat pants and a baggy sweater to wear on top

I tied the strings of the sweats as tight as they can go, frowning as i noticed my ribs getting more visible, i traced my finger on it, feeling it as if there was no skin covering it, i threw my sweater on top, placing the hood over my head, i went to bed straight after, i'm gonna sleep early today.

A ring from my phone startled me and i extended my hand to answer it, i rubbed my eyes, as the light coming from my phone was like a shinning sun, i had a text from Niall, i sighed before opening my phone, to check what it is.
