I woke up to the sound of my alarm.

Friday is finally here, thank god it's Saturday tomorrow because I can't stand school anymore. I got up from my bed and wore a navy blue T-shirt with a turquoise jacket on top of it, some black leggings and a pair of turquoise converse to match. I love matching my clothes with the color of my nails and hair. I think it's cute. I let my hair loose and go downstairs to eat some breakfast. I brush my teeth and leave the house.

I was late and I had history with Liam and Harry. I was nervous. Would Harry finally show up? I haven't seen him for days. I got in the classroom and sat next to Liam. I turned around but no sign of Harry. I sighed and turned in front of me.

''Hey.'' Liam whispered.

''Hey Liam.''

''You okay?''

''Yeah, I'm fine.'' I said faking a smile. Wow, it's been a long time since I faked one.

Liam nodded and turned to look at the teacher.

I was having lunch with the boys at the cafeteria. We were talking about random stuff when I saw, what was his name again? Oh, Philip staring at me from the entrance of the cafeteria.

I excused myself to the boys and stood up. I started walking to Philip and every step I took towards him, his smile was growing bigger. All students were in the cafeteria, so the hall way was deserted. Philip walked away from the entrance, I guess so no one in the cafeteria would see us, and nodded his head for me to follow. I was a bit scared of him. After all, he is a drug dealer.

I was a few inches behind him when he stopped causing me to walk into him. He looked over to the right and then left and turned to face me. Hi smile was still there and he put his arm around my waist and pinned me, not too harsh, on the wall. His face was inches away from mine. His eyes staring into mine.

''So, has Niall decided to finally share you?''

''I'm not with Niall.''

''He isn't your boyfriend?''

''No.'' I spat at him angrily.

He pushed me into the wall a little before growling. ''Even better.''

''Quit it.'' I spat again.

Surprisingly, he did. He stepped away from me. Leaning on the wall behind him and smiling evilly.

''See you tonight, gorgeous.'' He said. What? Is he going to the party too? Oh, I forgot, everyone is invited.

---

I was at home. The party starts in 5 hours so I guess I can relax for a bit. I turned on the television and watched some cartoons. Niall texted me telling me that he and the boys will come and pick me up to go to the party, and I gladly accepted.

It was now 7p.m. The party is starting at 9 in the evening so I better start getting ready. I took a shower and let my hair dry. I put on my dress and the heels for starters. It wasn't that hard to walk in these heels actually. I put on some mascara and got ready for the real challenge.

Eye shadow. I was never good at applying this stuff. I've never used it, that's why. I didn't apply much because I would screw it up and I'd look like someone punched me. In both eyes. I put on some eye-liner and my brand new lipstick. I spray some perfume on me and got the curling iron ready. I didn't want my hair to look like I have just came out of the hair salon so I tried making them look naturally wavy. And to top my outfit off, I wore my new bracelet, necklace and earrings.

Okay, this is a new Alice in the mirror. I am pretty sure I look nothing like this every day.

Outfit:

After a while I heard a knock on the door. That must be the boys. I walked to the front door to open it, revealing 4 of the most handsome boys ever. They gasped when they saw me. Their jaws wide open and their eyes widened ready to come out any second.

''Wow, umm.. you look, um wow..'' Niall exclaimed. I giggled.

''Thank you, you don't look bad yourselves!''

''You look lovely Alice.'' Liam smiled. I nodded smiling.

''Hot..'' Louis and Zayn whispered at the same time.

Niall turned to them and hit Zayn lightly on his chest while Liam did the same to Louis.

''Behave. So ready to go?'' Niall asked me.

''Yes.'' I smiled.

The drive to the party was pretty quick since it's being held at our school and it's very near my house. We got in the school and walked to our inside basketball court. It was like prom actually. But without dates or a theme. I followed the boys and we stood near the DJ.

We talked for an hour or so when they started playing songs. I started dancing and I got lost in the crowd of people. I suddenly felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist tightly. I tried stepping away but he wouldn't let go. He let go of my waist and before I could turn around to see him, he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the empty hallways.

Philip. He pushed me against the lockers, hard this time. I yelped but he ignored it. He grabbed both of my elbows in his hands and slammed my arms against the cold lockers.

''Listen here and listen good. If you make any noise I swear I''l kill you in the middle of this hall.'' he threatened.

I nodded, tears ready to escape my eyes. My whole body trembling. He smiled evilly and leaned his head down to my neck, leaving wet kisses.

I gasped and started silently begging for him to stop.

''Oh come on, I know you like it.'' he moaned in my neck between kisses. He started sucking and his hand left from my elbow to hold the side of my neck where he wasn't sucking to keep it in place because of my struggling to get free.

Before I could raise my hand to try and push him away, I felt his weight being lifted off me. The hallway was a little dark but I could still see.

Harry. He pushed Philip off of me. Now they were standing opposite each other, exchanging death glares.

''Harry, long time no see pal but as you can see I'm kind of busy right now.'' Philip nodded in my direction.

Harry looked over his shoulder and turned back to Philip, I could see his jaw tightening from anger.

''Leave her alone.''

''Oh, Harry. We have been over this a hundred times. You can't tell me. What. To. Do.'' he said back emphasizing his every word.

''I said leave. Her. Alone.'' Harry responded, also emphasizing his every word. I saw his hands were forming fists. Very tight fists. Oh, no.

''Harry..'' I started but before I could even finish, Harry attacked Philip, pinning him on the ground, giving him several punches.

Philip was knocked out and Harry stood up. I could see Harry wearing a pair of jeans and a white shirt. His breathing turning back to normal. He was still looking at Philips's unconscious body laying on the ground.

''Harry..'' I whisper, barely audible but he heard it and snapped his head and looked at me. His face serious and frowned.

He stared at my fragile body, hiding in a corner, kneeling down, terrified. He then walked towards me and knelled in front of me, placing his hand on my knee, stroking it.

''Are you okay?'' he asked worriedly.

''I.. Yeah.. No, I don't know. Is he okay?'' He sighed and looked over at Philip, turning back to me he nodded.

''Unfortunately.'' he chuckled.

''Come on, I'll walk with you home, okay?'' I nodded and he helped me up. We started walking to my house, I texted the boys telling them I had fun but my head hurt so I had to leave and they said okay but I know they're disappointed.

I got tired of walking, so I stopped and sat at a bench near us. Harry stopped too and sat next to me.

''Tired?'' he asked. I nodded again and he came closer to me wrapping his one hand around my waist and the other underneath my legs. He stood up from the bench without any difficulty and he started walking, carrying me bridal style.

I leaned my head against his chest telling him were to go.

We were finally home. He put me down and stared at me. He turned around to walk away and I caught his arm.

''Please stay..'' I begged. He was hesitant but he accepted.

I opened the door and we walked in. He sat on the couch and I offered a cup of tea. He nodded and I went to the kitchen to make some. I joined him in the hall and we sat on the couch. With my legs up on the couch facing him.

''Where were you Harry?''

''What?'' he looked confused.

''I haven't seen you at school since Monday.''

''Oh, I... um, I had some work to finish.'' he said tensed.

''Oh..'' I trailed off. My hand running up and down my warm mug, not knowing what else to do.

''I'm sorry you had to see that earlier..''

''It's fine.'' I faked a smile.

''So where are your parents?'' he asked curiously. I tensed at his words and faced the floor.

''Alice?'' he placed his hand on mine for comfort.

''Um, my mom is in China for work..''

''And your dad?''

''He..'' I sighed. ''he passed away before we moved here.'' As soon as I said that, my eyes began to tear up and soon enough, tears were coming out.

I placed my hands on my face so Harry couldn't see me in this state. I hate crying, I was supposed to move on.

Harry shushed me and pulled me over his lap. His arm secured around my waist pulling me against him. His other hand tracing random patterns on my arm. I hid my face in his neck and cried silently. My hands resting on his chest. Harry also leaned his head, touching mine, to whisper.

''When?''

''About four months ago.''

''I'm sorry.'' I finally calmed down but I stayed like that. Harry never stopped stroking me.

''It's okay, you didn't know.''

''Have you told Niall and the others?''

''No.. I'm trying to keep it to myself as long as I can.''

''Why?''

''Because then people will treat me differently and I hate it.''

''Why would they treat you differently?''

''Because they would pity me and stuff.''

''So that's why you had to move here?''

''No.. The students there didn't feel sorry for me because of my dad's death.''

''What? Why then?''

''I used to self harm.''

I could feel him tensing beneath me.
