Dreamer - Chapter 11

As Harry and I quickly approached my house, we glanced behind us once again to make sure Dan is not following us. We sprinted up to my front porch and as Harry was about to open the door, I strike his hand away from the handle.

"What was that for?" Harry hissed whilst glaring daggers, I exhale loudly as I get ready to explain the obvious.

"Look at what we're wearing Harry." I seethed as Harry finally comprehended what I was prattling about. Harry glimpsed at me remorsefully as he gave me a stupid smile.

"What are we going to do then? Climb in the window?" Harry quizzed as he began running his hands through his jaw-droppingly extraordinary curls. 

"Quite." I joked but then realized this is not the time for witticism as Harry winked at me.

Stop doing that! I mentally shrieked at Harry for putting me under a love spell by simply winking. It is absolutely wondrous. 

As Harry and I were about to continue to bicker, the front door opened abruptly and a woman stood in front of us. 

"Harry? Serenity?" Anne?

"Mum!" Harry shrieked like a girl as he embraced his mother. I began giggling and when Harry pulled away from his mother, he was bright red. Which just made me laugh harder. Oh how good it feels to laugh.

Anne rolled her eyes before grabbing us by the ear and pulling us in. She closed the front door and pointed upstairs with her slim finger. "I have no idea where you were, and you will explain but for now go and get dressed and hurry up about it. Serenity, your parents will be back shortly. They have gone to see a film." Anne announces as Harry frowns. It is my typical parents to go and watch a film rather than go look for their only daughter or contact the police.

"Thank you, Anne," I say grateful as I push a fake smile onto my now pale face. Here is me hoping that my parents might for once show that they care for me.

I grabbed Harry's hand and jogged up the stairs, Harry knew what was coming. Once we were out of Anne's sight, I sprinted toward my purple bedroom door and abruptly let go of Harry's hand.

I ran to the corner of the room and slid down the wall, I took a shaky breath as my hands began to tremble. A painful tear traced my cheek as it gently fell onto the wooden floor. I squeezed my eyes so tight that I began to see a whirlwind of darkness overcome me.

"Serenity!" Harry says urgently as he knelt down beside me and wrapped his arms securely around my petite frame that is now shaking violently.

I slid my hand into Harry's and he gripped it firmly, as if his life depended on it. "It is okay Serenity, everything is going to be okay."

I sighed as I attempted to stand up, I eventually got up and pulled Harry up. "I need to get out of these clothes," I whispered as Harry smirked. "Oh shut up." Harry laughed and went to his room to get changed.

A small smile tugged at my mouth, oh Harry..

 Five minutes later, I was sporting black leggings and a cream over-sized jumper. I threw my hair up in a messy bun, refusing to even glance at myself in the mirror as I knew it wouldn't be a pretty site.

"Serenity?" Anne's sweet voice startled me as she stood at my bedroom door, debating whether or not to enter. I gave her a half smile as I silently prayed to God that I didn't look like I had been crying.

"Mmm?" I mumbled as I gazed at my hands. Anne strides into my room and sits on the floor across from me. "Anne, what are you doing? Get off of the floor, here sit up here!" I say patting the bed beside me with my hand.

"I'm fine, dear." Anne states as she folds her arms and glares at the floor boards. "Where were you two?" Anne spoke up suddenly.

Should I tell Anne? I was kind of hoping Harry would be here for that but I hear the shower running, informing me that Harry is in the shower. However, Anne is not. Which means she thought it was time for a little 'catch up'. Darn it.

I take a deep breath, attempting to keep my breathing steady. I gently tug at my quilt with my finger nails as I reminisce on the past few years of my life.

"Err.. I'm sure you probably know about my.. older.. brother.." I shut my eyes tight as I suck in a deep breath before exhaling heavily. 

"Yes," Anne says quietly as if she's trying to figure out what this has to do with anything. I open my eyes and lock gazes with Anne.

"I had a boyfriend, his name was Dan. I thought I loved him like every other girl foolishly does but, I guess, I was wrong. He beat me.. he.. he.. abused me, I never told a soul as I was in love and young and.." I drift off as I bite my lip trying to hold back the tears. I took a shaky breath as my eyes watered more and more. "One day after school, Max was picking me up and he seen Dan trying to kiss me against my will, I was attempting to pull away but.. he was strong.. and well, Max told Dan what every older brother would; to stay away from me." I say quietly as the shower turned off, I thought I'd still have a good five minutes before he's here so I better continue.

"I'm here dear," Anne soothes as she gives me a sympathetic look.

"Well, mum and dad didn't know obviously and everyday Max would drive me to and from school and never let me leave the house, even for piano lessons." I say between sobs. I wipe away the tears that have escaped and pursed my lips.

"Two months ago, Max was going to football practise, so I was alone in the house by myself, really scared.." I state, cringing at the awful memory. "Max told me I'd be fine because he'd only be forty minutes.. someone knocked at the door, I answered it. It was Dan, we were still going out because no one officially broke it off.. I was still in love with him." I whisper as I clear my throat. "He told me that he changed and.. he wanted to take me on a romantic date. I went there with him, I had my doubts but, I followed my heart." Anne squeezed my hand comfortingly as her eyes watered.

"Honey, you don't have to tell me.." Anne drifted off, looking guilty for invading my privacy.

I shook my head, "No really, it's okay. I need to get this off my chest." I gave Anne a half smile and she just squeezed my hand again. "I got out of Dan's car, and well, it didn't look very romantic to me. It was an old abandoned school. I looked at Dan weirdly but he just grabbed me by the arm and pulled me in, in there was Max.. well Dan tortured him and then he left.. just like that.. I was still naive so I took that as a break-up. Dan left me there to watch my brother die." I was now full on crying. This is the first time I've told this story and I've tried to lock away my pain so it was all knew to me. Anne was crying now too. 

"To this day, mum and dad still don't know what happened to Max. Only you and I." I say sadly as I wipe my cheeks, hoping Harry wouldn't notice I'd been crying again.

"And me," Harry's voice suddenly comes from the hallway, I shoot my head up to find Harry crying too. We exchange a sad glance before Anne stands up, heading out of the room, giving me one last  sorrowful glance.

Harry waited until his mum left before slowly walking over to me and engulfing me in a huge hug, his muscular arms protecting me from the world.

In that moment, I felt truly immune to any obstacle the world threw my way, Harry made me feel infinite.

I thought I'd end this chapter with one of my favourite quotes from 'Perks Of Being A Wallflower'. Best book ever. I started reading it two weeks ago and got half way through, haven't had the time to finish it, but even with the sixty pages I read, it was unbelievable. Cannot wait to see the film, Emma Watson is the bomb, woot woot. LOL. ;D
