Chapter 3.

Chapter 3 of Infinite Love

I woke up to the beeping of an alarm and I groaned, slamming on the snooze button. I swung my legs over the bed and stood up, walking to my bathroom. I turned on the hot water of the sink and washed my face. I looked up and dabbed my face with a towel. Ah, much better. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair was all over. I shook my head in disapproval and grabbed the brush near by. I combed through it, and once I was finished, it looked much better. When I was finished, I walked to my closet and got out my uniform. I put on the scratchy thing and tugged at the collar. It really was annoying. I looked in the mirror and shrugged, walking downstairs. I got to the kitchen and sat down by the island. Sarah cam out of the chef's kitchen and handed me a plate. So used to it, she got me a glass of milk and set it next to the plate of steaming food. I took mouthfuls of the food and when I was finished, I washed it down with my milk. I thanked Sarah and grabbed my bag, walking out of the kitchen. As I passed the table in the foyer, I noticed the note in the garbage can. I un-crumbled it and read it. I sighed. They should be here in a few days. I threw it back in and walked out the door, noticing Harry by the staircase, but chose to ignore it. I walked to my car and unlocked the door. I got in and the engine roared to life as I drove away.

When I got to school, I walked up to the entrance and to my locker. I opened it and got out my books. I closed the locker and jumped when I saw Brian behind it, smiling. I let out a small squeal, getting a few glances form bystanders. Brian laughed at me and I crossed my arms over my chest and pouched out my lip. His smile brightened and he seemed amused at the sight in front of him. I rolled my eyes and then I heard the bell ring. ''What class you have?'' He asked and I replied with a groan and he furrowed his eyebrows and smiled. ''I have Math, I absolutley hate it!'' I exclaimed and he laughed linking his arm with mine. ''Well, I guess I'll see you in there.'' Brian said and that brightened my mood. At least he's in that class. I smiled and we walked silently to hell.

 

When we got in the room, I went to the back of the room and Brian followed sitting next to me. I looked at the white board and today, we w were working on Geometry. Ugh! Great start of my day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked out of Math and sighed. ''I think I am done with life.'' I joked and Brian gave me a look and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What's his problem? ''O-okay, sorry. Didn't mean to offend you.'' I apologized. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. ''No, I am sorry. It's just..nevermind.'' Brian said and I looked at him. His eyes were red and it looked like he was about to cry. What did I do?? ''See you around.'' Brian said hoarsley and walked away, into the boys restroom. I then sighed, standing alone in the hallways. I went to my locker and got out my books and put away my other books. I then walked to my next class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked of the entrance of the school and sighed. I haven't seen Brian all day. I honestly don't know what I did.Was it something I said? He was fine before. I walked to my car and opened the passenger seat and hopped in. I started the engine and drove away from school. I drove to my house and pulled up the driveway, before getting out of the car and walking to the front door. I walked in and called, ''I'm home!'' I walked into the back kitchen and saw Sarah making another one of her famous pieces. ''What ya making this time?' I asked and she turned around to face me. ''Chicken with rice and fried shrimp.'' My stomach grumbled at just her saying that. Then Harry walked in and when he saw me, he turned his head to the ground. I nodded and smiled at him. ''Well the rice and shrimp done. The chicken is about done, I have to be leaving. Have to feed my family too you know.'' She said and I nodded. ''Harry, mind serving her?'' Sarah asked and he shook his head. I hugged her goodbye and she left the kitchen. ''I'll be in the dining room.'' I left the kitchen and went to the dining room. I sat down on one of the craved, wooden chairs near the window. I saw rain droplets coming down and I sighed. II heard a clap of thunder sound and I jumped and put my face in my hands. I hate storms. Whenever one happens, I have bad night terrors and the funny thing is. No one is there to calm me. Sarah sometimes if she stayed that night. But she left.

 

I looked up and screeched when I saw Harry standing in front of me with my plate of food. ''Sorry, you scared me.'' I blushed a crimson and he smiled, before handing me the food. I took it and realized how hungry I was when I took a bite. ''Drinks, anything?'' Harry asked and I nodded. ''Actually, can you get me some orange juice..'' I said embarrassed of my love for orange juice. Especially because it's a breakfast beverage, but I could drink it anytime of day. ''Ornage juice?'' He asked with a hint of amusement and I nodded. ''Orange juice is my favorite drink.'' I claimed and he nodded before walking back into the kitchen and getting me some. I began eating and it was delightful. Harry came back with a clear glass full to the top with orange juice. I smiled and thanked him. ''No need to thank me, it's my job.'' He said and I nodded. ''Why do you work here? I mean, when I first saw you, it looked as if you came from the streets..'' I drifted not trying to sound nosy. ''I-uh..my family needed the money and your parents pay well enough, so here I am.'' Harry said and looked down as if he were about to cry. My lips parted and examined him His wrists were so skinny. I reached over and grabbed it. I went to see if my hand could fit around it, and it did. I gasped and looked at him. ''Harry? When was the last time you ate?'' I asked and he looked down. His lip trembled and he bit his lip. ''Uh- maybe. I don't know..'' He admitted and I gasped. I stood up and he flinched. I slowed my actions.  ''You are eating something. Now.'' I demanded feeling angry at whom ever madei him this way. ''Elizabeth, you don't have to.'' He tried but I cut him off. ''No, you are eating. And yes, I don't have to. I want to.'' I said and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a plate. I got a giant portion of rice and lots of shrimp. Then I grabbed him three pieces of chicken. If he doesn't know, it's obvious he hasn't eaten for days. Weeks maybe.

 

I also got him a tall glass of milk and went out to him. I saw he sat down next to my chair. When he saw the plate, his eyes widened and he smiled. ''Oh my, I don't I'll be able to finish.'' He said and looked uneasy. ''What's wrong?'' I asked him. ''I never got this kind of care before.'' He confessed. I smiled at him and sat next to him. ''Well...''I trailed not finishing. I clap of thunder sounded and a lightning bolt it up the whole room. I jumped from my seat and let out a small shriek. I felt Harry's hand come into contact with my thigh. Like he was trying to calm me down. I looked at his hand, then him. I started to lean in and so did he.
