"I know we have asked you this already, but is there anything else you can remember?" I shut my eyes and think

"NO BRIDGET WAIT". He takes my arm and I look.

"He is justing laying down the law and your just taking it" He says letting go.

"It's not that simple." I say.

"Um no, but I don't want to press charges." I say to the officer.

"BRIDGET"

"What mum I don't, it's no ones fault. I just want to recover and everything go back to how it was. Please can we leave now." I am so tired of this all.

I am sitting in the hospital room getting questioned yet again I keep getting flashbacks of Harry and I it's like I'm right back there.

"Ok well we will let you go." The officer says and leaves my room




"Home sweet home." Dad pulls up your driveway. Parker then opens my door and helps me get out of the car with my walking stick. I slowly move up to the house

"BRIDGET" I see the group running towards me "Hey guys" I nervously greet them, but see Perriestanding awkwardly. "P come here" which she awkwardly does "This isn't anyones fault ok." I wrap my right arm around her since my left side has been compromised with.

"So when do you think you will be back at school." Louis asks me we are all back at my house now.

"Um hopefully next week." I see El and Louis arms wrapped around each other making me smile.

"Sorry we have to run now, we have practice." Niall stands up. "Oh that's ok" I smile as Liam, Louis and Zayn also stand. "see you later love." Zayn hugs me.

"We have to pick up Harry on the way." I hear Liam whisper.

"you girls behave" Louis says, "We can come back later" He says, "that be nice." I smile.






"Hi please come in." I flutter my eyes open after falling asleep on the couch.
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt." I hear a female voice and i move my head up to meet her.

"Hey Bridget these are for you." Anne hands me some flowers. "Thanks" I take them.
"Umm cup of tea" My mum offers and I nod my head.


Few minutes later mum comes in with three teas. "Thanks." I say to mum.
"So how you doing love?" Anne ask me "yea good as I can be."

We all make small talk for a bit. "Harry said he will come visit when he can" She says, but I just smile I don't really want to say I don't want him coming here.

"I better get going" Anne stands and so does mum. "Oh I forgot this is for you" Anne takes something small wrapped up from her bag and hands it to me. "I'll come by another time, feel better" She bends down to hug me. "Thanks for coming" I smile.

"I'll walk you home" Mum offers, "will you be ok?" I roll my eyes, "yes mum."

As soon as they are out the door I open up the terrible wrapping. A tear falls from my eye and the I lightly chuckle to myself. Harry why are you so funny? Giving me a toy mini car.

"Are you sure you are ready." Mum asks for the millionth time.


"Yes mum, now help me with my jacket."
"You know you don't have to go the full day."
"Mum I'm fine, please" I say agitated.


"Hey Bridget." Soph comes up to me outside the school. "Let me take that." She takes my bag for me.
We continue to walk making small talk.

"BRIDGET I MISSED YOU" El yells with Louis and the rest of the group behind her.
"Ready for school.?" She asks me, "yea I'm actually to be back" I say honestly.

"Who are you and what have you done with Bridget Riley?" Liam speaks.


"There you go love." Niall helps me with my books in my locker. "I better go I have math, kill me now." He complains.
"Thanks Nialler." I smile, "all good see you at lunch, I'm counting down the minutes" I laugh and wave him goodbye.

Now to face the music. Class has started and I'm running late but I'm taking my time getting used to this walking stick. I put my books under my opposite arm and walk to class.

Oh good the door is open no need to multi task. I hear chatter in the classroom and see Perrie's mum is back at work also, good for her I think. I know it's hard for her to be back just as much as me.
"Harry do you have your homework" She asks him.
"Na" He plays with clicking of the pen totally dismissing her.
"Why not?" She asks him "Couldn't be bothered" His being a total jerk.

"Well that's unsatisfactory." Mrs E says.
What he says next is totally disrespectful and where I step in the classroom.


"What are you going to do run me over with your car."

"THAT'S ENOUGH HARRY" I yell making heads turn.

"Bridget here let me help you." Mrs E comes and takes my books under my arm and I still stare at Harry. "Ah thanks" She puts them on a desk and I slowly walk over to it.

I delicately sit down and feel embarrassed.

As the class progresses we are all doing a worksheet but I can hear a few whispers which I expected. I turn my head to see the people gossiping about me, the see me and put their heads down, I look the other way and Harry looking at me so I turn my head back to my worksheet.

"Ok class I want you to finish what you all started for homework."

I wait for everyone to leave the class. I see Harry brush past me I pack up my books.
"How's it going.?" Mrs E asks me



"As expected people whispering all though I can hear them" I pack up my books. "I'm sorry for what Harry said he was totally out of line." I apologise on his behalf.
"It's fine." She smiles, "Can I help you to your locker?" She offers.


"Bridget you ready". Perrie comes in the room and collects my books.
"I'll see you later Mrs E." I call her by her teacher name as at school it is appropriate.

"See ya mum" Perrie say as we leave the classroom.





"Oh hello baby" Niall bites his pizza and we all laugh.

"Where are the rest of the lads I ask."

"I think the boys are soccer practice." Niall speaks with his mouth full.

"It's weird H isn't sitting with us." El says, "what you mean?" I ask curiously.

"Well he was sitting with us everyday up until today."

"Well his probably at practice." I say

The bell goes and they grab my stick and help me. "Come on Niall we have math"
"Why is life so cruel?" He tilts his head back and we make our way to class.


Niall and I sit together in maths and he copies my work, not subtle at all might I had.

"Mr Horan the answer please" The teacher points him out

I whisper the answer for him. "Very good Mr. Horan"
He mouths 'Thanks" and I roll my eyes.


I'm at my locker and see Harry walking my way. "Hey Harry." I say but he walks away what's his deal?

"Hey cripple" I turn and see Justin but I chose to ignore him but the next minute he is thrown into a locker.

"SAY THAT AGAIN AND YOU WILL BE THE ONE NOT WALKING" Harry yells at him and lets go of him.


I'm about to say thank you but he walks away again. He can't be mad at me for calling him out this morning?
