Gone (h.s.)

Chapter 2

"Harry..." Zayn growls.

"Zayn." Harry simply replies, walking forward and closer to us. "I thought I told you to stay away from her. What happened to that?"

"Let's be honest, even you knew I wouldn't keep my promise."

"If you get near her one more time," he starts, "I will make you regret it."

"Is that a threat?"

"Yes."

"Well-" He's cut off by the bell ringing.

He walks off to his first class with an angry look on his face and Harry walks beside me.

"Hi, I'm Harry."

"So I've heard." I say sarcastically.

"Really?" He asks.

"No." I reply.

"Thought so." He laughs.

"Why would you stick up for me like that?"

"I have reasons," he smirks. "isn't your first class here?"

"Yeah. How'd you know?" I ask, looking up at him, because there's a large height difference between us.

"Magic." He says, walking away from me.

"So, how was your day?" Harry asks me as I walk out of the building of hell.

"Fine. Why?" I snap at him.

"Woah there sassy pants. I'm just a curious guy." He says, putting his hands up in defence.

"Well you, curious guy, why all of a sudden stick up for me and then ask me how my day was going?"

"Holy shit... I'm just trying to be nice." He widens his eyes.

"Well maybe you're 'nice' but I don't like 'nice' guys." I say, stopping.

"Okay, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." He throws his head back, laughing.

"Just leave me alone!" I yell at him and storm to the bus stop.

"M-mom. I thought you were working until 6."

"I got off work early."

"Oh."

"By the way, Alex is coming over for dinner tonight. We have something to talk to you about. Not that your opinion really matters but whatever."

"Okay." I reply.

Alex is my mom's abusive boyfriend. When he's here and my mom isn't in the room he beats me, and sometimes he even beats my mother and she's too scared to leave him.

"Natalie, Alex has chosen to move in with us." She tells me.

Great.

"Okay." I reply

"He will be your legal guardian when I am not home."

"Okay."

"Now, finish up and head off to your room."

I finish up, put my dishes in the sink and head off to my room.

I open up my laptop and read more comments on my posts.

"What a thot."

"Ew you're so fat you should stop posting pics of food."

"What a gross bitch she is."

I don't want to cry anymore. For some reason I feel much stronger. I have more power. I can do anything. Their words don't hurt me. I'm okay. For the first time in ages, I feel... happy.

Then, my phones beeps. No one ever texts me. Who could it be? I lean over and pick up my phone and see I have a text from a random number.

The text reads: "Hey. how are things?"

I reply with "Who is this?"

The person quickly replies with "It's..."
