Chapter 3: protecting your jar of hearts

Start from the beginning
                                    

"CARTER PAYNE! WHERE IS YOUR BOOK?" the teacher yelled angrily.

"I-In my locker miss." Carter replied quietly.

"And what is it doing there?!" the teacher questioned.

"I didn't have time to go to my locker miss." She retorted.

"Of course you didn't! It's the same story with you all of the time carter, and I'm sick of it! You will have double homework tonight!" she told her.

"Yes miss." Carter sighed.

The day went by ever so slowly. P.E and history were Carter's last classes, and she was dreading both of them.

Harry was in her P.E class and she was so worried about what he's going to do to her. And in history, they've got a massive test that counts for 30% of your grade.

Carter isn't exactly a brain box, and she could study last night because of Harry.

So basically, she's screwed.

"Ok guys. Today we're going to play dodge ball." The P.E couch announced, earning a groan off most of the students, including Carter.

"Oh quit whining! Now, Michaels, Styles, You're the captains. Pick your teams." He announced.

Harry and Robert were the coaches favourite; they always got picked for everything.

They both began to pick teams until it came down to the final two: Carter and the new girl.

Even though carter was the best player, she was always picked last. It was more of a popularity contest than a skill contest.

"I'll pick....... Carter." Harry announced.

Carter's jaw dropped as she entered the row behind Harry.

"Ok, here's what we're going to do. Jack, Greg, Ryan, you take the left. Daisy, Amy, Emma, you take the right. And Carter, you go in the middle with me." he ordered.

Carter nodded and we began the game.

It was astonishing. Harry blocked any ball that came near Carter. What was he up to?

Soon it was down to Carter, Harry and two people on the other team.

Harry knocked one of the people out.

"HEY CARTER!!!" Harry's voice rang in Carter's ears.

She did a 180 turn to see what he wanted but all she saw was him smirk before the ball hit her in the face and she lost consciousness.

* * * * *

She regained consciousness once again and found Liam, Niall, Zayn and Louis surrounding her with worried expressions on their faces.

"W-What happened?" she murmured, trying to collect her thoughts.

"You got knocked out in P.E." Louis told me.

"Yeah, Harry phoned us and we collected you." Niall continued.

She groaned and laid her head back on the pillow.

"WAIT! What about my history test?! I can't fail! It counts for 30% of-" she was interrupted by Liam.

"Relax Carter. The teacher post-boned the test for you." He smiled.

"Oh." She gushed, slightly embarrassed.

"Do you want some tea babe?" Zayn quizzed.

"Erm... Maybe later. Thanks." She responded.

"Ok, you get some rest and we'll see you later love." Louis kissed carter's head and left, followed by Niall and Zayn.

"Please, be careful Carter. For me?" Liam pleaded.

"I promise." Carter retorted.

"Good." He grinned.

Liam engulfed Carter in a bear hug and kissed her forehead before leaving the room. Carter lied down on the bed and wrote in her diary. The only place where she can say her true feelings.

'November 14th, 2011.

Dear diary.

Words can't describe how much I want to tell everyone what Harry does. I just want to know what I did to deserved this. And to think that at one stage, I actually thought Harry was the one for me. I'll even go so far to say that I wanted to marry him! But that's all changed now. And Liam and the other boys deserve to know, right? But then again, I don't want them to have to lose a mate just for my sake.

Anyways, I need to go.

Carter.

xXxXx'

If only Liam knew, then he wouldn't feel so guilty about not being there for her.
