Harry's POV

Mum and I arrived home. She mentioned that Gemma was coming home at around 6pm since she met some friends to spend the rest of the day with. I wish I was as social as she is.

"Harry, what would you like for dinner tonight?" My mum asked.

"It doesn't matter really mum." I said. I wasn't in the mood to eat. I wasn't in the mood to do anything actually. It's sad that I was a really happy, excited person in the morning before school started. Now I'm just some stupid, depressed freak.

"Harry, do you want to talk about it?" My mum asked probably feeling my negative vibe.

"Not right now mum. I just want to go in my room and rest." I said. I gave her a kiss in the cheek and slowly made my way upstairs. I jumped in bed and grabbed my headphones from my side table. I plug in the headphones on my phone and put it on shuffle.

Chocolate by The 1975 came on. This song reminds me of the time I tried weed for the first time 5 months ago. It didn't end well. I was almost sent to the hospital because I was nearly choking to death. If I didn't have my inhaler at the time, there was a chance I could've died on the spot. I wouldn't mind to be honest. Maybe heaven would be more accepting than here.

My eye got heavier and I was about to fall into a slumber but someone knocked on my door. I look at the door opening and see Gemma stepping in. "Hey little brother."

"Hey Gem," I said sitting up while she sits on the edge of my bed.

"How are you feeling?" She asked. I shrug my shoulders. I know how I feel I just don't know how to explain it in words. "Mum told me what happened today. I'm sorry about that."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. People are idiots, and I'm just a person who can't control his feelings."

"We can also get another therapist or medicine if you need it."

"It was just one attack Gem."

"Yeah, on the first day of school." I went silent. I don't know how to respond to that.

"Mum and I want you to be happy here Harry. People already pushing you around is sickening to hear." Gemma said as she starts to cry. I pull her into a hug.

"Don't cry Gemma. I will be happy here, I promise. I already made friends today." I said while letting go of our hug. Both my hands on her shoulders smoothly rubbing it to reassure her.

"I love you Harry," Gemma said.

"Love you too Gem." I said. I pull her in for another hug because I love my sister's hugs.

"Oh, mum asked me to ask you want you want for dinner. She told me she tried asking before and thought maybe you changed your mind." Gemma asked as she lets go of our 2nd hug.

"I really want pizza with pineapples and bacon!" I said having a sudden craving for that. Gemma doesn't even question me before she leaves to room to probably tell mum.

Just a few minutes later, I felt pretty lonely in here. I get up and go downstairs where I hear my mum and Gemma talking about their day. They are in the television room. Gemma is on the small comfy chair while mum was laying down on the couch. I walk in and both smile at my appearance.

"I was lonely upstairs." I admit while I take a seat on the carpeted floor.

"I knew you'd come down," my mum said teasing me. "I ordered pizza, it will be coming in few minutes"

I smiled and my mum and nod. Gemma continued to speak about her day at university until the doorbell rang causing my mum to get up and grab her wallet to pay the pizza man.
