I sit on the floor with my head between and head and hugging my knees to my chest.

"Hello! I am home!"

I hear my mum's voice. I just want to run and hug her tight and cry but I can't. I can't make her go through what I am going through. I know she worry about me and I her. I have to keep her safe and for that I have to hide the truth from her and Harry. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him. He means the world to me.

"Mom!" I shout from outside my room. I struggle to get down to the living room but I do.

"Honey!" She takes me into her arms. I lose my balance a bit and stumble but stand.

"What happened to your leg?"

"Ah nothing. I hit myself in the morning but it's alright now."

"Oh baby! You should be careful."

"Yeah.... Oh how was your trip?"

"Ahh it was good. We got the deal with a Japanese company. I had no idea what they were sayin but Thanks to Ben, he knows Japanese ! I didn't know that." She brags.

"Oh, I guess your trip was mighty good." I tease her with my British accent.

She laughs. Oh mommy! Keep laughing. I love to see you like this!

"I'm glad you're happy mom." I smile with a hint of tears in my eyes. I've never seen my mom this Happy. She puts up a smile just for a show, to make me believe that she's happy but today she really is.

"Aww honey." She kisses me on my cheek, "Are you hungry?"

"Oh no, mom. You jut came home after a long trip. Just relax, I'll make something."

"Hahaha no. I don't want to eat peanut butter sandwich or pancakes for dinner." She taunts me.

"Okay. Fine." I pout.

Well, that's the only thing I can make perfectly.

"Mom, I am going out for a little walk. I'll be back by 8. Is that okay?" I wanna get out for a while and get some air.

"But what about your leg?"

"It's fine. I have to give it some therapy." I wink .

I keep walking away from home, thinking about what I possibly could've done to somebody to deserve this. I mean, I'm sure I didn't kill somebody's cat. Why is this guy after me? What the hell does he want?.

Without realising I have come a long way from home. At least 3 miles. My leg is starting to hurt so I sit on the curb. The weather is always so pleasant in London. Better than LA. I love it here but....

My phone pings.

"Dying to know who I am? You'll find out."

The sender is private and I know exactly who this is. I frown.

How the hell did he get this number?! I mean, except for Harry nobody has it But he?

"Just follow the clues I leave you. It's time we meet."

Clues? I look left and right to find something but I find nothing. Then I look across the road and there is a boy, in a hood, staring at me. I watch him closely for a minute. I can't see his face. He is too far from me. Then he starts to walk. I get up and go after him. He keeps walking and I walk behind him. He turns into an alley.

"Hey!" I say as i turn after him.

He stops and walk a few steps forward. He takes his hood down. His back is facing me, I can't see his face.
