Superman

Chapter 6

Harry paced back and forth before he walked over to me. He gave me a weak smile and placed his hand on my shoulder. I tried to keep myself from flinching away. I made that mistake more than once and look how much trouble it has gotten me into.

"Why did you lie to me? What happened? Who is he?" he asked.

The breath got caught in my throat and I completly froze. Do something! Dont just stare at him wide eyed! way to go, now he knows! Wait, how does he know? He looked at me waiting for an answer but I couldn't seem to find the right words to say, or anything at all. SNAP OUT OF IT KRISSY!

"I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean who is he?" I replied, trying to sound as confident as possible, which was extremely hard seeing as one wrong word could bring my whole world crashing down.

"Oh Krissy," he said, bringing his hand to my face and stroking it, "I saw you last night with that guy. Did he hurt you? You didn't go to my room alone did you? It's okay if you too, you know,.. did anything in there, but I'm just worried. I tried to comfort you earlier and you flinched like a scared little girl. Is everything okay?"

I stood there, shocked. I couldnt believe he cared. That's great, but he knows now! Great going Krissy you're dead now. I can't believe he found out. I need to lie or say something fast.

"No, he's not my boyfriend and I'm fine alright!" WTF AM I DOING!

"Are you sure?" he said, pushing the hair off my face and behind my ear. Suddenly his eyes got wide and he stared my right in the eye. "Not your boyfriend, huh? Sure seems like hes pretty close to you." he said with a sly smile on his face.

HOLY SHIT I HAVE A LOVE BITE ON MY NECK! WHAT DO I DO!? I HAVE TO LIE AND SAY HE'S MY BOYFRIEND.

"Haha, you caught me, just dont tell anyone, okay?" I said with a fake smile.

"Alright, naughty naughty Krissy." he teased. Something about him was different though. His cheeky smile didn't quite reach his emerald eyes. I guess he wasn't completly satisfied with my explaination.

"WE'RE BAAACCK!" shouted Jess.

"Sure took you long enough, can we go now?" I said.

"Oh alright party pooper! Bye guys, me and Krissy got to go!" she said.

We both hugged all the boys goodbye, but when I hugged Harry, the hug was a bit longer and it felt like it meant something, like he was trying to tell me something. He looked so conflicted and nervous as I left. Something tells me that he knew that everything I told him was a load of crap.

Lets just hope he doesn't decide to open his eyes ad see what's happening right in front of him. It's funny how obvious it all is yet no one seems to notice how messed up I am. Well after all, we all have our stories that we'll never tell and I guess this is mine.

***********************************************************

I sat on my bed, trying to fight back the tears and bad memories of my past. It's in the past after all. I've changed, I'm a stronger girl now. Its funny how people thing that they can just change or say that they did, and all the things they've done to you will magically disappear or something. BS. People can change but the past never will. You can't escape history.

I'll always be the girl with the messed up family. The girl who was bullied. The girl with self destructive problems, the girl with the daddy issues, the girl with the abusive boyfriend, the girl who gave up, the girl who'd do anything to escape her past and is barely alive, I'll always be me, not matter how much I change, I'm stuck this way.

I need someone. Someone save me.

Who will be my superman?
