Chapter 11 // Run Away with Me

The plane ride from Orlando to Chicago the next day was not my favorite plane ride I've ever taken. Harry walked me up to security, barley taking his lips off of mine for even a second. Gripping my hand, none of us wanted to let go.

"I promise you Mia Harrison, I'll be back sooner than you could ever imagine" He said pressing one last kiss on my forehead

"I love you" I muttered into his chest, embraced in his arms never wanting to let go.

Eventually, we had to let go or I would miss my flight. I texted him the minute I landed.

I felt empty without him. Like a piece of me was missing, it wasn't the normal emptiness I felt on a daily basis. I needed him by my side and this feeling was terrifying.

My mom was happy to see me. She asked all about my trip and I told her everything, even everything about Harry. She squealed and knew it would happen all along.

Everything was great, except for being apart from Harry of course.

We texted each waking moments until we fell asleep texting each other. We didn't care. We are in love.

I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face. I got dressed as usual in some black sweatpants and a shirt I got from Disney World. Everything started out as a normal day.

When I got to school, there wasn't a moment someones eyes were not on me. All I could hear were whispers, I payed attention to none of them. What was this about anyways? Was there something on the back of my pants? Was my fly down? Had someone spread yet another nasty rumor about me?

This was a different whisper than those types of things those, at least for me. They would make sure I would hear those things. But, today I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying about me.

I walked into first period and suddenly the room got silent. An eerie quiet spread across the room like a wildfire. Nobody spoke a word louder than a murmur. Even the teacher was shocked, high schoolers being silent? This was a change and it didn't seem like a good one.

I finally understood why everyone had been staring at me all day.

I walked to my locker before lunch, the stares continued like they realized I didn't understand what was going on. Until I reached my locker, everything was silent.

When I got to my locker my eyes began to water. This couldn't be happening to me. Why did I have to fall in love with the most loved boy in the world?

Taped to my locker was a picture of the selfie Harry and I took with the girls on it's a small world. Around the picture were dozens of other pictures from that one trip to Orlando. They covered my entire locker. Pictures of me and Harry. A post it note was found right underneath the center picture of Harry and I.

Secret's out bitch

Braden had done this. But why? I did everything she asked for.

I dropped my books and sprinted. I didn't know where I was going, I didn't know where I was in the school until I reached the cafeteria and everyone noticed the girl hyperventilating running into the room.

"ARE YOU DATING HARRY STYLES" was the first question I heard and soon they just began to pile up and up. I was shoved to the center of the cafeteria where of course, Chad was waiting. His daddy must of shortened his detention and he was pissed. The minute I got close enough to him he punched my face and instantly phones flashed up videoing this historical moment.

"You little dirty slut hid a big secret from the world" He pushed me to the ground

"Such a beautiful little singer you are" He said kicking me in the throat. Braden didn't tell everyone, they found out on their own. I let out a gasp and tried to crawl away. He just grabbed my leg and pulled me back as people laughed. He grabbed a camera phone himself and shoved the phone in my face

"Harry, your little bitch isn't looking too hot. Did she tell you about her hospital visit recently? Or the trips to hospital she made very often" He grabbed my wrist and shoved the sleeves up and I let out a cry

"Look at the pathetic bitch with all the scar marks" He laughed and the crowd joined him

Others continued to kick and punch me as Chad lifted up my shirt to reveal the 30 little slashes he had left with his knife

"Did you see my work of art from Thursday?" He asked the camera

All I could do was cry. I felt so weak, so pathetic. I wanted to die.

After a few more punches and kicks some teachers took control of Chad and I got up and ran, ignoring the pain I felt anywhere. I ran to my car and got in grabbing my phone going straight to twitter. My name was all over the trending, my face plastered across the internet. In seconds, the video from the cafeteria began sprouting everywhere and there was no doubt in my mind Harry would see it. He would be angry with me, for not telling him about the depression, for lying to him. He wouldn't love me anymore. How could anyone love me.

This would devastate him. I drove straight home, knowing my mom wouldn't be home until late and sat on my bed with endless tears running down my cheeks waiting for the dread phone call I was bound to receive.

My throat hurt, but I didn't care. I couldn't feel the aching pain as much as I felt the fear in my heart.

"Let me be your ride out of town

Let me be the place that you hide

We can make our lives on the go

Run away with me"

I cried and cried through the song, just letting all my emotions pour out in this moment. I ignored the messages on my phone from my Youtube friends, I Ignored all the mentions from twitter on my phone just waiting for the one call to come through.

And it did.
