I wake up to the sound of a celling fan spinning above my head, I look around subtlety to try and see I recognise my surroundings but I don't "Arabella, your awake, thank god I was started to get worried" I automatically know that voice "oh, is this your place harry?" I sit up on the leather sofa "yeh, you passed out and I didn't know where else to take you, I was thinking the hospital but it was closer to take you here first" I nod and chew on the inside of my cheek, a nervous habit I picked up from my mother "well thank you, I appreciate you helping" I stand up but all of my sight goes black and I feel wobbly "woah, sit down you'll still be dizzy" I nod and sit back on the sofa "can I please get some water" he nods and turns the corner, why is he being nice again when he was being rude just Hours ago? The real question is why am I even here, I should have left as soon as my eyes opened "here's the water" harry holds out a glass snapping me out of my thoughts "thanks" I reply and chug it down in one "do you know what time it is?" I look up at harry to see him looking down on me god those eyes Are something else my subconscious adds making me force my self to look away "yeh.. it's erm.. ugh" I look up again to find him trying to find his phone "oh it's erm 7:30" I silently shriek 7:30!! I passed out for 5 hours I must have been exhausted "I better get going, thank you for letting me, erm stay I think?" He smiles a little and nods "it's no problem, see you around Arabella"
The time I get home I feel more drained then I did when I left it, I take off my shoes and head up stairs to my room "hey ara baby I was wondering when you were gonna get home" I feel my cheeks flare up in anger to see mason sitting on my bed "get out, I don't want to see you" I look to the ground "ara baby what are you talking about, after dinner you wanted to meet up with Lucy for some shopping and told me to meet you here? What's happened baby?" I suddenly realise what he's doing, my dad must be in the next room, I role my eyes as I put on my fakest accent I can manage so my dad doesn't notice the Hatred I have towards this arsehole "oh, I'm just exhausted that's all, I really just want to take a shower and go to sleep, we have school tomorrow" he nods and starts to walk up to me, I instantly step back. He scares me now, how much of an actor he is, acting all this time that he loves me when really he just loves the cash "you should leave" I step aside and gulp whilst a horrid smirk grows onto his face and he closes the gap between us "see you in school" his breath blows on my neck and I shudder, my stomach starts to churn and I feel bile start to rise in the bottom of my throat "see you in school" I reply quietly and try to swallow the lump forming in my throat, he walks out the room and I let out a huge breath I didn't realise I was holding. I try and shake off the feeling Masons presence held and walk into my wardrobe to choose my outfit for school tomorrow, I decide to wear navy skinny jeans a red crop top with white flowers and grey swede ankle boots with a denim jacket, I walk back into my room and decide to take a shower, the minute the hot water hits my body I start to relax but it doesn't calm all of my nerves, the nerves that I still have are the fact I still need to see Mason tomorrow,I have to act like I want to be around him, that I love him, that we will always be together, but in reality I want to stay away from him and forget he even existed, but thanks to my father, I can't do that, like I've already said, my life is utter shit. I lay back on my bed and close my eyes I grab my phone and put the ear phones in my ears, I click on Spotify and play the neighbourhood to try and calm my nerves it works at first as I turn all my concentration to each and every lyric, but my thoughts take over and I end up thinking about those piercing green eyes helping me fall asleep.
I wake up to the annoying sound of my alarm at 6:30am, I drag my self out of bed and doddle over to the bathroom, I am shocked by my appearance, under my eyes are a dark purple colour and my skin looks paler then usual, the stress of mason hit me harder then I thought, I brush my teeth and go back to my bedroom to put on my clothes, I add foundation to my face and it seems to help with the paleness but not my dark circles so I add some concealer and I look like a new person, I add a few coats of mascara and put on some lip balm not bad Arabella not bad I put my hair into a messy ponytail and call it done, I grab my phone of the desk and walk down stairs "morning Arabella" I look up to see my mother cooking what smells like bacon "morning" I give her a small smile and pour my self a glass of the
smoothie she prepared "are you not going to eat anything?" She turns to look at me and I shake my head "no I have to get to school early this morning" I lie and she nods and turns back to cooking, the only reason why I wanted to leave early was so I could drive my self to school, I don't think I could stand being trapped in a Porsche with mason this morning, I send him a text telling him not to pick me up and turn my phone off.
I arrive at the school at 8:15 which makes me 15 minuets earlier then usual, I go to my locker and hope I can have a slow and relaxed morning before classes, but the minute my name is called by my 'friend' Amara I know that isn't gonna last long "oh my god Arabella babe, like how was your weekend, mine was like totally incredible, zayn took me to Manchester for the weekend with him and his family and I like totally think he's in love with me, well he hasn't said it but I totally..." I stop listening and decide to just keep nodding every few seconds to make her think I am, Zayn her boyfriend is on the lacrosse team like mason, I like Zayn, he's a nice person to talk to if you ever want a honest opinion because he just doesn't care about peoples feelings, which is probably confusing as to why I like him, but honesty is a huge thing to me, since I never actually receive it "so hey ara, Liam is throwing a party Friday night and you should like totally come, mason will already be invited since him and Liam are on the same lacrosse team, duh" she giggles and I smile but it drops from my face as soon as it was placed there "I don't know Amara, maybe" she starts to look at me like I've grown two heads "maybe? What do you mean maybe? Your Mason's girlfriend you like totally have to be there, or you'll like totally decrease he's cred.." she continues on but I don't care, honestly does this girl have anything else to say besides the word 'totally' I look at her and see her has stopped talking and is waiting for me to respond "sorry what?" She roles her eyes and looks at her nails "your not even listening are you" I shrug and try and give her a small smile but she roles her eyes in response "all I am doing is trying to make our group the best group this school has ever seen, were the popular group ara and we need to live up to our title, everyone in our group is coupled up with the best players on the lacrosse team and that's how it's supposed to be, just like in the movies, so suck it up and live with it, no one asked you to fall in love with Mason, but you did so you have no choice but to do what your supposed to do" after she lets out her speech she lets out a breath "okay, sorry" she shakes her head and smiles " come on we have English lit" I nod and follow her into the class.
When I walk into the room there's already I few people taking the seats in the first two rows, I walk to the middle row and take a seat "morning class" I look up to see Mr Roberts walking into the room, I notice the room has filled and I feel a bit worried, I noticed no one walk in to the room at all your just tired my subconscious tells me and I agree, I am extremely tired and have been since Friday night, he starts explaining the lesson and I try my best to listen to his words "today we are going to be discussing Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" I suddenly feel excited, I love romance, which is kind of ironic since the romance I have with mason makes me depressed "sorry I'm late sir" I gasp as I hear the voice I first heard on Friday night, I look up to find those same green eyes staring back at me with a confused expression on his face, mirroring mine.Authors note
