Adopted By Harry Styles

Chapter 29

Justin and I had a wonderful time together. About 20 minutes if having fun, he had to do the most dreaded thing that everyone absolutely hates...

Homework. Dun dun DUUUUN!!!!!

Justin and I both were in my bed but on opposite sides if you understand why I'm saying.

I finished my History and algebra in 10 minutes each but the French was a whole other story. Considering that Mr. Whitman is a total bastard (and everyone says it) and didn't even give me a review sheet if what the class learned, I have to do three pages of French without even knowing French!

"Hey what does comment allez-vous aujourd'hui mean?" I asked Justin for help.

"I think it means how are you today? I'm not really sure. I don't take French."

"Thanks." I say. "What homework are you doing?"

"I'm doing....what am I doing? Um, I'm doing...algebra."

"When are we ever going to use that in real life." I told him.

"I guess when aliens attack and the only way to save the planet is to do some long ass algebra equation?" Justin said with a large smile. "Just guessing."

I crumple a blank piece of paper and throw it at Justin's head. "What was that for?" he complained.

"For being idiotic." I answer.

"You never know!" Justin whined. I threw another paper at him as he tried to block it. He failed and it hit him on his forehead.

Then we just started laughing. It was really nice having a friend.

I heard a knocking at the door. "How are you two doing?" It was Harry of course.

"Fine!" We both said.

"Alright." Then I heard his footsteps walk away from the door. All of a sudden, Justin yelped "Oh shit!"

"What's wrong Justin?"

"I was supposed to be home 20 minutes ago! Dammit!" He started franticly gathering his things while I just play the innocent bystander. It didn't feel nice.

"Can't you stay a little bit longer?" I questioned.

"My father and mother may not give a rats ass about me, but my father is strict!"

"Can I ask you one question?"

"Make it quick Brooke."

"Did... did you ever think about running away?" Justin stopped and froze for only a second, then looked me in the eyes. "Yes," He start gathering his things again but only this time it wasn't franticly. "But that was long ago."

"How long?" I blurt out.

"You said one question Brooke."

"I know. I'm sorry." Justin looks at me with a soft and innocent face. "Three months ago." He says.

"What?"

"I wanted t- I thought about running away three months ago."

Silence was all that was left. Justin and I just kept staring at each other. Then I stood up from my bed and hugged Justin. "I'm here for you." I say in his ear.

"I know." He says back. "You're my best friend."

I end the hug but I still have my hands in his shoulder. "I am?"

"Yah. Even if we've only known each other for a day. I just feel so much better when your here with me."

"Same with you Justin. Do you really have to go?"

"Yah, sorry." We hug one another again. "See you at school." he says to me.

"See you at school." Then Justin grabbed his things and left my room. Leaving me alone with my French.

Harry knocked on my door and asked to come in. Of course, I said yes.

"Why did Justin leave in such a rush Brooke?" I wanted to tell him that he was about to get yelled at thanks to his abusive parents. "He had to go home. His father wanted him."

"Oh okay."

"Hey Harry? Can you help me with French?"

"Sure. Anything for my daughter."

***

I was getting textbooks and binders out of my locker when I felt someone on my shoulder. Think it was Shannon, I flinch in fear. Turns out it was Justin.

"Hey." I say hugging him with him hugging back.

"Hey." His voice cracked a bit.

"How was...you know..." I say.

"Mum was knocked out in out couch and dad was snoring it up on the floor. Thankfully, they never I noticed I was gone."

"That's good to hear."

"Did you ever finish your French?"

"Yah. Harry helped me with about 89% of it."

"We better start heading towards Homeroom."

Walking towards Homeroom, student all around me are still gasping and looking at me in awe. Especially since Justin is hanging around with me. No sign of Shannon and I can only hope that she's absent.

Or gets hit my a fast movie truck.

When we got to Homeroom, I didn't see any sign of Shannon. Maybe she did get hit by a fast moving truck after all! Justin and I sat down at our desks and talked the same jibberish we had always talked.

Then she walked in. She looked at me straight in the eyes and slid her finger across her neck.

Chills ran up my spin; Justin saw Shannon as well.

Why couldn't she get hit by that damn truck?

Justin didn't look to find of seeing Shannon. I had to take a hold if his shoulders just so he couldn't lunge himself towards her. "Justin, calm."

"Trust me I'm trying."

"Just don't do anything stupid."

"Again, I'm trying."

The announcements were sounded all across the school. Soon the bell rang, making the school day start.
