"It was happened one night, about three month ago, I quit my job, because I was moving here, and I was walking to my car the last night of my job," Harper cried.
Nick and Harper were still at the main entrance of the school. The night was getting, cold, so Nick draped a jacket over her shoulders.
"I was so scared, and they never caught the guy, we stayed for them to find something, but I just wanted to leave so badly, that I begged my mom to let me go, finally the police told us we needed to come back if they found anything," Harper explained. "But I doubt they will find anything," she cried in Nick's chest.
"You never know Harp," Nick assured her. "Cases like that are solved years after," he added.
"I know, but I can't help but thinking, what if I wake up to find that he found me? What if he's watching right now? I just want him locked up, and gone," she explained.
"It's scary, but I will protect you as much as possible, I promise," Nick told Harper with as much assurance he could.
"Thanks Nick, you are so great," Harper smiled. "Can you take me home now?" she asked.
"Yea sure," Nick said standing up.
"Can you do me a favor?" Harper asked as they walked to his car.
"Yea?" Nick asked.
"Will you not tell anyone about the truth?" Harper asked.
Nick stopped abruptly. "But the truth makes it not your fault," he told her.
"I know, but I don't want people to feel sorry for me, I hate it when people feel sorry for me. And if they don't want to be my friend because of what they think they know, they are stupid," Harper told him. "Please for me?" she smiled at him.
"Of course, it's your choice," Nick told her opening the car door for her.
"If it was definitely my choice, I wouldn't be pregnant," Harper said softly as Nick closed the door.
As soon as Nick opened the door of his house, after he shook the fangirls away, Kevin and Joe was in his face.
"So, how did it go, with prego?" Joe asked seriously.
"Leave her alone," Nick said defensively.
"Seriously," Kevin said giving Joe a harsh look.
"It was great, she has fun, I'm going to bed," Nick said softly going up the stairs. He did not want to deal with Kevin and Joe.
Kevin had a very successful box social.
"Thanks Kevin, that meant a lot to me," Harper told him after everyone left the Lucas house.
"Anything to welcome you to Horace," Kevin smiled.
"You guys rock," Harper smiled. "Nick, can you take me home?" She asked sweetly.
"Yea, come on, let's go," Nick said quickly.
"Hey, wait a second, Harper," Joe said suddenly. "Kevin and I need to tell you something," he added as Harper and Nick turned around.
Nick looked suddenly surprised; he had no clue what Kevin and Nick were going to say to her.
"We just wanted to tell you that, we're sorry for telling everyone that you were pregnant," Joe admitted. "It was very wrong of us, Stella had nothing to do with it, although she did tell us," he explained. "With Nick's example, I am not going to judge you, and maybe just maybe there's something more to the story, I don't know, and I don't care, it's not my place to judge," he added.
"What do you think about this Kevin?" Harper asked softly.
"I agree with Joe," Kevin told her seriously.
"Thanks guys," Harper let out a horrible wail as she went up and hugged both of the guys. "Besides Nick, you guys are the first people to say that to me," she added releasing them from the hug.
"You're welcome Harper," Joe smiled.
"I have to tell you something, I was raped, and that's why I am pregnant," Harper admitted.
Joe and Kevin's jaws dropped to the floor.
"O my gosh, is there anything we can do?" Kevin asked.
"Just, don't tell anyone about it okay, not at the moment," Harper told him.
"Okay we won't," Joe said softly.
"Okay, I'm really tired, but thank you guys for being so great to me," Harper said softly turning around and going outside, with Nick following her.
Nick came home and Joe and Kevin were sitting at the music station.
"What's up guys?" Nick asked plopping down on the couch.
"Did you get Harper home safely?" Joe asked very concerned.
"Yea, she's fine, I went in and met her mom, and she's very nice," Nick explained. "Her mother told me that Harper was having nightmares," he added sadly.
"With what happened to her?" Joe asked.
"Yes, it started after she found out that she was pregnant," Nick explained. "I feel so darn helpless," he admitted softly.
"All you can do is be there for her bro," Joe told her softly.
"It makes me angry though, how can any guy do that to a girl?" Nick asked seriously.
"I don't know, but we cannot change the past," Joe said wisely.
"It makes me so angry," Nick said wanting to blow up.
"We can…" Kevin thought. "We can always make her cookies," he said excitedly.
"Kevin, don't mean to be rude, but chocolate cookies aren't going to change what happened to her," Nick snapped.
"Cookies solve everything," Kevin told them straight up.
The next day Kevin, Nick, and Joe, found Harper at her locker. Kevin had cookies for her.
"Here, I hope these make you feel better," Kevin said giving them to her.
"Awww thank you," Harper said sweetly hugging Kevin.
"Are you feeling great?" Nick asked Harper seriously.
"Just fine," Harper smiling at Nick's concern.
"Are you sure?" Nick asked.
"I have a baby in my tummy Nick, not cancer, I am fine," Harper told him.
"Okay, if you need anything just ask my brother or I," Nick told her.
"I know I can always turn to you guys," Harper smiled hugging each of them.
That afternoon, Harper went over to the Lucas' house to hang out with Nick.
"Harp, we're going out for pizza, any topping you like the most?" Joe asked followed by Kevin.
"No, anything is fine," Harper smiled. She was wrapped softly in Nick's arms.
"Okay, dudes see you in a bit," Kevin said sliding down the fire pole.
"Hey I have a surprise for you," Nick said as soon as they were gone.
"What?" Harper smiled.
"Come over here," Nick said going to the studio and Harper followed.
"I wrote you a song," Nick explained to Harper.
"Really?" Harper asked heart racing. A boy writing a song for her, that is one of the greatest things that anyone has ever done.
"You can't laugh, it's not finished yet," Nick explained pulling out his guitar.
"Of course I won't laugh," Harper smiled.
Your smile hides your pain from the world
The truth you hide and make you a happy girl
Can't believe,
The pain that has happened to you, I cannot undestand
But I hope to be, a great friend
Through thick and thin,
I'll never let the monsters win
Just take my hand, and find the strength within
To fight down all the demons
A/N- I know the song isn't good; I kind of made it up on the spot. I hope everyone likes it! Please review, but the story alerts are awesome also lol!
