So.. Joe wanted me? Is that what he meant when he said 'I'll have you next time?' My mind was a blur.. I HAD to get home and quick. Without even having to think anymore I snatched up my bag from the floor and ran for home. But did I really want to go home? I didn't know if my Dad would be back, and what would he say if he was there? Waiting for me to come home from school to have another episode of what happened last time. 

I was already out of the school gate.. I had no choice now, my feet were already on their way home. 

When I got home I closed the door without a sound and ran up the stairs, there wasn't anybody home yet I still had my usual routine of staying quiet if there was any chance that my Dad was home. 

THINK. I told myself as I sat crossed legged on my bed with my fingers pressing against my temples. Joe had nearly .. raped me? Was that right? or was he just trying to scare me? Revenge for hurting him with his brother behind his back. Who was the one in the wrong? I definitely needed to sort my head out. Just alone time me, my Ipod and.. buzzing, what was that buzzing? MY PHONE! 

The screen flashed an unknown number, I shouldn't answer, it will distract me and anyway they probably have the wrong number. But it might be important? By the time I had done making my decision of answering the ringing stopped anyway and relief washed over me.

But again my phone started to flash and buzzing my hand, the same unknown number.

'Hello?' I asked slowly.

'What the fuck happened?' An angry voice roared down the phone..Liam, had he found out about what just happened? There were too many questions unanswered I decided to go with what anyone said.

'What are you on about?' I questioned innocently.

'Just, think hard! I'll ask again and you better tell me the truth Hayley. What the fuck JUST happened?!' Liam said it so impatiently, I started to question what was HIS problem, why had he suddenly decided to care? I had only known him faintly for a few days yet he had so much concern for me. But I suppose a lot had happened overnight.

'Nothing.' I couldn't tell on Joe, Joe was the sweet guy on the bench who had comforted me in a weak moment, Joe was my first real friend. 

'Don't.' Was all I heard before a lot of commotion around him on the other end of the line. 

'What's happening?' I asked Liam quick before he hung up.

'It's not only you that has secrets Hails.' Then he hung up without another word.

I was mad, officially I had gone mental. I was hallucinating about boys trying to get with me, NO two boys trying to get with me all the way to feeling like I actually had a friend. I needed to wake up out of this dream.
