Elevator - w2s

-14-

I woke up the next day at 6:30 am. Starting the day off with some waffles with melted chocolate on like what my brother ate every year. I struggled to eat it but I did. The first thing after that I did was grab my Xbox controller and turn my Xbox on. After about two minutes of my thumb hovering over the À button to open fifa, I finally did. Tears filled my eyes but I didn't let them fall.

I played on it for about 3 hours until I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and walked over, looking through my peephole. I saw Josh stood there alone. "What?" I shouted through the door.

"Can you come out?" He said.

"Nope, today is Lucas' birthday and I'm not missing it." I shouted.

"Harry got into a fight," he shouted.

"What?" I said.

"He's hurt and won't talk to us," he said.

"I might not be able to help," I said.

"He will listen to you," he said.

"Fine, but I'm staying out for an hour max until I'm coming back so I won't miss his birth-minute." I said and I opened the door. "So where is he,"

"On the stairs," he said and I began walking to them. I walked down a couple of flights before seeing him sat with Cal, Freezy and Freya. He had a bust lip and a bleeding nose. I sat down next to him but he didn't look at me.

"Harry," I said but he didn't move. I placed my finger under his chin and moved his head to face me. "What happened?"

He tried to look away. "Hey, hey, no, no look at me," he did but looked upset. "What happened?" I asked again.

"I don't want to talk about it," he said.

"Your going to have to, look at you, your hurt," I said.

"I-it was stupid." He said.

"Come here," I said and pulled him into a hug. He hugged back. "Your okay, you can trust us remember,"

"I know, I don't want to upset you," he said.

"After everything that been said to me, it won't upset me alright," I said and he nodded. "Now can you tell me what happened?"

"There were these guys and they recognised me. T-they started saying stuff about you, like how you sleep with every guy you see and things like that.. I said you wasn't and they walked over and punched me, it all started from there," he said looking down.

"What's my saying?" I asked him.

"Haters are going to hate," he said.

"Yeah, exactly," I said, "and you don't need to stand up for me,"

"I know but I feel like I need to," he said.

"And I feel like I need to too, but I know you can handle your problems," I said. "As long as you know the truth, I don't care what others say,"

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Hey, what did I say yesterday," I said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot sorry," he said and I laughed until he realised and he laughed.

"It's fine, just don't do it again," I warned and laughed. "What time is it?"

"12:03," Cal said.

"What? I need to go," I said getting up and running up the stairs. "Bye," I shouted. I heard a few replies.

I got to my apartment and the door was open slightly. I walked in and saw that the sofa was knocked over and the Xbox was turned off. I walked into the kitchen and saw the cake had been thrown onto the floor. I bent down to have a closer look but then I heard a sound from the doorway. I stood up to see my mum. "What wrong sweetie, its just a cake," she said.
