I groaned when the light hit my eyes, I got up steadily and walked to the bathroom. I stared at myself in horror as I realized what I looked like. I had a black eye and a deep cut on the top corner of my head. I wanted to miss school avoid the stares and questions but I couldn't be here with him I needed to get away. I wanted to call Harry so we could go somewhere away from everyone, he's the one person who would understand. But I don't have a phone, I tried my best to clean up my face although it made no difference. I found one of Zach's hats in the living room so I put it on trying to cover up my face. I walked to school this morning hoping to clear my head from all of this. I knew Zach had changed but I never thought we would have hurt me.

I kept my head down once at school avoiding everyone. I went into Mr Daugherty's lesson early this morning in my attempt to avoid human contact. I got on with some work when I heard the bell go signalling first lesson has begun. Mr Daugherty let everyone into class, Jess didn't bother to look at me which made me smile. Harry sat next to me as usual, he looked at me questionably.

"Morris?"

"Yeah?" I carried on staring at the front not daring to look at him.

"Look at me" he said cautiously.

I sighed before turning to face him, his eyes bulging out their sockets. He grabbed my arm pulling me out of the classroom.

"What the fuck happened?" he shouted.

"I think you know" I said bluntly.

"He hit you?" he whispered.

I nodded looking down. He pushed my chin up and took off my hat looking at my face. He skimmed his fingers over the cuts and frowned.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I tried but then he broke my phone" I shrugged.

"Asshole" he shook his head.
I saw people coming down the hallway I quickly pulled Harry to me hiding my face in his chest.

"Sup Liam" he said awkwardly.

Oh for fuck sake!!!!!

"Hey" Liam said before leaving.

I looked up at Harry mentally punching us both in the face.

"Crap this doesn't look good" I moaned.

"Why do you care?" he asked.

"Because we literally just broke up" I threw my hands in the air.

"Wait you guys broke up?"

"Yes but that doesn't mean we are getting together" I reminded him.

"Yeah of course" he smiled.

"How am I going to get through the day without anyone seeing my face?" I moaned.

"We can skip school, go away somewhere".

"I was hoping you would say that, but I can't" I frowned.

"Why?" he tilted his head.

"Because running away doesn't solve anything" I said agitated.

"Okay what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know" I frowned.

"Do you want to go class?"

I sighed "No but we should go" I moved past him and went into class.

He followed me back in and sat down next to me at the back of the class. Mr Daugherty approached us causing everyone to stare, great.

"What was that?" he asked.

Harry and I looked at each other finding something decent to say, I couldn't come up with anything.

"I really needed to speak to her" Harry said.

"Do you mind sharing with the class?" Mr Daugherty glared at him.

"I would rather not" he said coldly.

Mr Doherty looked from him to me, I kept my head down.

"Kate" Mr Daugherty said.

"Yeah?"

"Look at me" he ordered.

What is it with everyone asking me to look at them? I looked up at him, the horror in his face said it all. I smiled at him trying to cover the awkwardness, everyone gasped.

"Everyone can stop staring" Harry shouted.

Immediately everyone turned to the front not saying a word. Jess eyed Harry suspiciously and then me before turning to the front.

After lesson Jess came up to Harry "I need to talk to you".

"Okay" he stood there.

"Now" she demanded pulling him down the hallway.

I stood by the lockers listening to their conversation.

"I swear to god if you hurt her I will fucking kill you" she spat through her teeth.

"I would never hurt her" Harry said coldly.

"Then who did?" she stood there waiting for an answer.

"It's not my place to say".

"Oh are you kidding me? She's my best friend" she shouted.

"Really? You wouldn't think that after everything" he shrugged.

"It was Zach" I said loudly stopping them from arguing.

She looked at me stunned "Zach, your Zach?" she tilted her head.

"Yes".

"I don't understand" she said confused.

"Well it's not that hard is it?" Harry glared at her.

I huffed "Harry you don't know him like Jess does, she's known him her whole life" I stuck up for her.

"But I know the new him, and from what I can see he's a fucking wanker" he shouted.

I nodded "Yeah".

"Wait so Zach hit you, why?" Jess was trying to get her head round it.

"He's changed Jess, he's not what he used to be".

"I'm going to kill him" she shook her head.

"Damn right" Harry agreed with her.

"No" I shouted.

"You don't honestly think I'm going to let him get away with this do you?" Harry said appalled.

"Yes I do expect that, he's my brother Harry leave it to me" I stood my ground.

"Leave it to you? I did leave it to you and look what happened".

"Look we need to get to class" I said to them both.

"I'm not leaving you" Harry shook his head.

"He's not here Harry".

"I don't care" he shrieked.

I sighed "Look I have next lesson with Liam anyway".

Harry stepped back his face full of disgust "Fine" he nodded before walking off.

"Seriously what is going on with you him and Liam?" Jess asked.

"It's a very very very long story" I tried to smile. "See you around" I nodded before walking to lesson.

I'm surprised Liam's actually sitting in his usual seat, but Ashley on the other hand is right beside him.

"Move" I ordered her.

She looked at me appalled "Excuse me?"

"You heard now get the fuck out of my seat" I shouted.

"Hat off Kate" Mr Tub came up from behind me.

I took off my hat and I think Ashley stopped breathing for a second, she quickly got up and sat somewhere else. Liam made it his mission not to look or talk to me this lesson. Times like this I needed him, I can't do that to him it's not fair. But he thinks I've moved on to Harry already which is bullshit.

"You've got it wrong" I whispered to him.

"Oh so that wasn't you wrapped around Harry earlier?" he said coldly.

"Yes but it's not what you think".

"I should have seen this coming I mean I said you could be with him, I didn't quite think it would hurt this much" he shrugged.

"No Liam, I wouldn't move on to him this fast" I shook my head.

"Yeah but you did, don't worry about it" he continued to look away from me.

I huffed "Fuck sake".

"I can see you've had a tough time Kate, but no swearing" Tub looked at me pitifully.

God I hated that look. Drops of blood dropped on to the desk, I felt my head it was very moist.

"Err sir can I go to the bathroom" I asked.

"No..." he looked at me. "Oh yeah sure" he smiled.

I rolled my eyes "Thanks".

"Liam help her would you?" he asked.

"I'm sure she can go to the bathroom by herself" Liam said bluntly.

I nodded before going out of the room, I managed to stop the tears this time. I've really hurt him and I don't know how to make it better. I wiped the cut with tissue and water, I didn't have any plasters, shit.

After lesson I went to lunch, Harry wasn't there yet but I'm hoping he has got plasters. Niall and Zayn came over to me their faces pale.

"Whoever did this to you we will kill them" Niall shook his head, Zayn nodding in agreement.

"It's fine guys" I smiled at them.

"It's not fine" Louis joined in.

"I really don't want to talk about it" I sighed.

"Okay we're here if you want to" Zayn smiled.

"Thanks" I began to eat my sandwich I just brought.

Liam joined us at the table ignoring everyone.

"Guys do you know where Harry is?" I asked.

Liam snorted at that comment, I was starting to get really sick of this. For once I actually have done nothing wrong.

"No he should be here soon" Zayn answered.

"Speak of the devil" Niall looked over my shoulder.

I turned to see Harry holding a load of plasters.

"Thank you so much" I hugged him tightly.

"I'm gonna go" Liam said coldly, he let his eyes reach mine for a second. His expression changed as he stared at me. "What's happened to your face?" he asked worried.

"I've had it all day Liam" I shrugged.

"What how did I not know this?" he shrieked.

"Because you wouldn't let me explain".

He looked down "Shit I am so sorry Kate" he frowned.

"It's fine Liam" I smiled.

Harry got a glass of water and rested it on the table. He dabbed cotton wall in the water before bringing it to my cut. I winced at the pain as he rubbed over it. After he was done he put on the plaster and kissed the top of the plaster.

"All better" he smiled making me laugh.

"Can I talk to you please?" Liam asked.

"Yeah sure" I got out of my seat and walked to a different part of the canteen with Liam.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you".

"It's fine I understood why you would think that" I shrugged.

"What happened?"

"Zach happened".

"Prick" he shook his head.

"But you're not going to do anything, just like I've told Harry and Jess that".

"I wish you would have come to me".

"You made it very difficult" I shrugged.

He sighed "Fair point".

Once we got back to the table they all turned to face me.

"Come away with us" Harry blurted out.

"What where?" I asked.

"We have a gig in Scotland and we're going for a couple of days you should come" he smiled.

"I don't think that's a good idea".

"Well where else are you going to stay?" he tilted his head.

"Home?" I suggested.

"No way in hell" he shook his head, he looked at Liam for support.

"Yeah I agree with Haz you should come with us" he smiled.

"Look I appreciate it, but I'm not a charity case" I said coldly.

Harry sighed "No one's saying that Morris, but I am not taking no for an answer".

"So you're saying I have no choice?" I tilted my head.

"That's exactly what I'm saying" he smiled.

"Ass" I said cruelly before walking away from him.

"We're leaving tonight, I'll meet you after school" Harry called after me.

I stuck up my finger as I walked out of the canteen through the school to the field. I spent the remains of the day here by myself which is what I liked best.

After school I noticed Zach standing outside school, I noticed Harry wasn't here so I went up to him.

"What do you want?" I asked bluntly.

He shook his head covering his mouth "I'm sorry".

"It's a bit late for that don't you think?" I said spitefully.

"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, I'm in a bad place right now K you need to understand that".

"We may live together and be related but I will never forgive you" I spat through my teeth.
"Oi" I heard Harry shout.

"Go now" I pushed Zach out of the school.

"I'm not scared of him" he laughed.

"Go" I shouted. I pushed Harry away from him holding him against me so he couldn't move any further forward.

"Bring it on fancy boy" Zach smiled.

This only made Harry pull harder against me "Please Harry don't" I shrieked. I turned to see Jack drive by "Jack" I shouted. He ran out of the car grabbing Harry and pulling him into the car.
"Get off me" Harry raged.

I sat beside him in the car trying to calm him down.

"Thank you" I mouthed to Jack.

"I'm sorry" Harry moaned resting his head on my shoulder.

"I understand" I patted his hand.

"I just can't bear the thought of anyone hurting you" his face filled with disgust.

"I'm fine now, everything is okay" I smiled.

I kissed his cheek before settling back down in the seat, I closed my eyes.

"You ready for Scotland?" Jack asked Harry.

"Damn right, Morris is coming too" he smiled.

"I'm glad" Jack smiled. "Well where are the others?" he asked.

"They are getting a lift with Niall" he nodded.

I laughed.

"What's funny?" Harry asked.

"You" I smiled. "I love how it ended up being me and you for a whole trip to Scotland" I shook my head.

"Well I have my ways" he shrugged. "We're stopping in a motel halfway though" he added.

"Sounds good" I smiled before closing my eyes again.

I'm not sure about my thoughts of being in a car with Harry for hours and hours.
