"Sometimes the person you thought would take a bullet for you, is the one behind the trigger." When Claire suddenly gets moved up from her second grade class to third at the new school she has only been working at for a few months, she has to renavigate through all of the tough waters that she thought she overcame. No one said working at a school was easy, but when your co-worker has a staring problem and a tendency to overstep his boundaries your job becomes much more than a 9 to 5 affair. - I sat up and pushed the red locks of hair out of my face, I braced myself for some creep or just a bored little kid. But when I turned around it was much worse. I let out a sigh and spoke my mind, "You know, Mr. Styles, you don't have to scare me half to death. A simple "Hello" would have sufficed." He smirked and sat down on the sandy towel next to me and spoke, "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Harry." He turns his head to face me waiting for a response. "Harry..." I pause to think of what to say next, "Why did you come here?"

"Why do you care?" he asks. But it's not soft. It's sharp, defensive, like he's already bracing for the answer. I want to tell him the truth. Because you saved me. Because you're the only one who makes me feel real. Because if you fall apart, I don't know what happens to the rest of us. Instead, I just say, "Maybe I want to understand." He scoffs, no humor in it. "You don't. Trust me." Silence stretches between us. Then he steps forward, close enough that I can see the way his hands won't stop shaking. "You already know too much," he says, voice low. "More than you ever should've." I don't look away. "Then tell me the rest." He shakes his head. "It's not your place. You don't get to ask." "But I am asking." He exhales sharply. "Jesus, Lily. This isn't a story with a clean ending. I'm not a mystery. I'm a goddamn warning sign. I'm dangerous." I flinch, but I don't move. And that pisses him off more. He takes a step back like he's going to leave, then pauses. His eyes flick to my jacket. In one quick motion, he reaches in and pulls out the burner phone. "I think this belongs to me," he says, tone sharp but quiet. No accusation. Just fact. I don't respond. Just watch as he slips it into his pocket, like closing a door I wasn't supposed to open. He looks at me for one long second, jaw clenched. "Go home," he says again, this time like a warning. And this time, I believe him. He crushes the cigarette under his boot, turns his back, and walks down the alley, leaving me standing in the dark. - Lily didn't ask to be assigned to him. Harry Styles is a name whispered like a warning, famous for his ink, infamous for everything else. Brooding. Untouchable. But Lily has a habit of looking too closely. And when she finds something she shouldn't, the line between curiosity and consequence begins to blur. He told her to stay away. She should've listened. - TW: emotional abuse, manipulation, drugs, sex, violence, trauma.
