Runaway thief...

My eyes flickered open, and I looked around to see my room. At once I became at ease, knowing it must have been a terrible dream. That thought soon went when I tried to get up, but my head felt heavy with pain. Next to me was a cold drink and a wet towel. I heard noises coming from the kitchen, who was in my house, were they looking after me?

Footsteps were coming, so I pretended to be asleep, falling back on to the pillow, and closing my eyes. Someone quietly walked over to my bed, and I felt the mattress go down a bit with that someone's weight. Suddenly a cold wet thing touched my fore-head and I flinched a bit, at the sudden drop in temperature. Who was it, this mystery person, sitting right next to me. "Kaila, are you awake?". Really it had to be him, didn't it. I kept my eyes closed, and pretended to be fast asleep, refusing to even look at him. Harry freaking Styles was sitting in my room, on my bed, the very cheek! Who did he think he was, helping me after everything he did. Why would he think I would allow this? A part of me really wanted to wake up, and ask him, but my weak body, and heavy eye-lids refused.

-----Harry's POV------

I looked down in to her face, so calm and at peace. After yesterday's drama, with her fainting I couldn't help but bring her back and help her. Chloe had refused to let me do alone, in case I did anything she would be jealous of. I dont know why she thought I would, but I guess I was the one who went around helping her and Sophie with their stupid rumours, telling people I slept with her. Forgot about that, I'm gonna have to sort that out, or just make Sophie and Chloe do it.

I asked her once more if she was awake, but she obviously wasn't, or she was just being stubborn and didn't want to talk. I left the wet flannel on her fore-head, and covered up her face a bit. As I sat there I noticed how pink her natural lips were, and how rosy her cheeks were as well. Maybe it was because she was ill, but overall her face wasn't bad.

I needed to stop doing this, stop thinking about her, especially in a caring way. Why was I here? I should have left ages ago, but part of me would feel bad if I left her on her own, while she was venerable and ill. Of course she was never really vulnerable, I dont know why I ever thought that, she must be tougher that she looks, especially with all those scars. How did she come to get those? It was so weird, at first I think her weak, but then I find out she's not. Then I think her a nerd, turns out she's not? I thought she was a bitch, but with her friends she's not. Maybe my whole picture of her was wrong!

-----Kaila's POV------

I waited for a while to see if he left, but I eventually fell asleep.

When I woke up, I listened to hear anything. Nothing. I opened my eyes and tried to pull myself out of bed. I felt a bit better and so went to have a shower. When I got out and the water stopped running, I heard more voices. This time two people were in my flat, What? Was this some kind of community centre, that anyone could come in to when they felt like it. Had Harry left then come back with someone else. I changed in to some comfy clothes then slowly opened the bathroom door. The voices got louder, and thankfully it wasn't Harry of any of his friends it was Becky, and Lucy one of my other friends. I walked out in to the living room where they were standing. "Kaila!" they ran to give me a hug.

"We are so sorry for believing those girls, and Harry, we should have known better" "It's ok I guess, just promise that you wont listen to anything any of them say again ok" "We promise, you know they only did it cos they hate you". I nodded. "Yep and I hate them too, so I guess it's fair". We all sat down together on the sofa. "Harry said about last night at the park, and how you made them tell us" I prayed he hadn't mentioned my scars, thankfully it sounded like he hadn't.

They stayed for another 10 minutes before heading of for school. As they were on their way out Becky called up the stairs. "Oh yeah Harry said he's sorry for what he did, and hopes you feel better soon!". I frowned confused at the thought of him actually trying to be nice. That so wasn't like him, and yet he had brought me home, and stayed over night to make sure I was better. For a second I smiled at the thought of a nice Harry, but immediately dropped it, as I remembered what had been doing with Chloe.

I knew I wasn't well enough to go to school, so I stayed at home that day, watching crap daytime TV, and Desperate House Wives.

-------Wednesday------

Harry's POV-

I clambered out of bed, just hitting Sophie on the leg, and waking Chloe up. I had agreed that if they told everyone that the rumours weren't true so I didn't have to, I would sleep with them again. I have to admit we had a good night, but I felt like a whole was slowly forming inside of me, that could no longer be filled with sex. I chose to ignore it, and just remind myself of the pleasure it brought each time I came.

As I walked to school, I could see Kaila on the other side of the street looking down at her phone. Why had she come back in to school so soon, after being so ill only two days ago, and she didn't look any better. Her face was as red as ever, and I could tell her breathing was heavy, just like how it had been when I had carried her home. I then remembered her back, and how beaten and distorted it looked with all those scars. Maybe that was why she was ill, but they looked old, like it had happened a while ago, as they were all just pure clean marks, no redness or bruising. I couldn't help but think that maybe that was why she didn't live with her family, and that was why she had said that Helena had been the closest thing to a Mum. They might have beaten her, but it still felt strange. She has so many secrets that I wonder how she keeps track of them all. Yet I felt like I needed to know them.

-Kaila's POV--

I walked along trying not to look at Harry across the road. He seemed distant, lost in thought, whilst still looking devastatingly handsome. His looks were wasted on that personality, maybe that was why all the girls fancied him, of course that was why...
