Chapter 3

Justin [POV]

Harper looked really sick when I found her at the green house. I took her home, and laid her down in the guess room. Her eyes were still closing, and her head was hot.

"What happened to Harper?" Alex voice came. I turned around to see Alex was walking toward Harper. She touched her head.

"Her head is hot!" She said.

"Do we have to call 911?" I asked her in a nervous voice. Alex turned to me and she was really angry!

"It's your fault that she is sick! I warn you! Now what you've done? She is sick because of you!" Alex yelled at me. I felt really guilty. I turned around and didn't know what to say to Alex. I knew I was wrong! Then I heard Harper painful moan. I turned to look at her and she opened her eyes slowly.

"Alex... It is not Justin's fault. He didn't do anything. Its my own fault. I slept at our school green house, that's why I got sick. Don't blame Justin." Harper said while she was looking at Alex. Alex went to sit down on the bed and looked at Harper. Harper touched her head and she tried to get up.

"Oh-no, you have to get some rest." Alex said to her. Harper Shook her head and said, "I have to go home! My parents probably looking for me now!"

"It is okay... We already called them that you are with us. Later, they will come and see you." Alex told her. I was still standing there with wordless. I walked out of the room leaving Alex and Harper in the room. I went down to first floor and helped Max with his homework while watching the sandwich shop.

Max was doing his math homework. I was helping him when my mind were all went back to Harper! I didn't know how to apologize to her. She helped me covered up my big mistake in front of Alex even though I knew she was really hurt! I didn't even listen to Max when he asked me about the problem that he was solving.

"Justin!!!!" Max shouted in my ear. "Are you home!?" I turned to Max and asked, "What's up?" Max shook his head and said, "What is wrong with you? Is there something you need to do?"

"No!" I answered in a quickly voice.

"Okay! Just checking' You look like you did something really bad! What did you do?"

"Huh? What? No! I didn't do anything!"

"Oh brother! You really are the Justin who can't hide something! Of course I knew what you did! And that is really wrong!"

"What? How you know?"

"I can see it!"

"Then please tell me how to apologize to her!? I didn't mean to. She just pop up while I was kissing Gwen!" Max gasped when I told him that. I shouldn't have told him!

"O! That! You are in big trouble! How could you ever do that? Don't you know that she is your fiancée?"

"Max! I thought you knew about my problem!"

"Yes, I do! You just told me about it!"

"Max! How could you tricked me to tell you my problem!"

"Well, that because I wanted to know what happened! But I suggest that you ask her out on a date and then make her forget about that incident!"

"How can I ever do that? I don't even have the face to go in front of her!"

"O man! You are weak! Don't worry Justin! I will help you out!" Max said and he ran to the man who was eating his sandwich! I followed him.

"Excuse me sir?" Max asked the customer. The man looked angry at max for interrupting his dinner time.

"Uh!! Never mind! Have a great dinner!" Max said in anxious voice and walked away.

"Max! what are you doing?" I asked him.

"I am helping you out." he answered. I shook my head and walked back to the table where Max's homework was. I sat down and looked at Max who was talking to some girls. The girls laughed and kissed Max on the cheek! What? How did he do that? Max walked back to me and smiled.

"You see that right?" He asked.

"Yes, I see that!"

"Girls want you to praise them, so you have to praise her and say something really sweet to her!"

"Max! It is so complicate! I can't do it!"

"Then never mind! I am not going to help you anymore! I suggest that you go to her and say that you are sorry and then take the action which mean ask her out!" Max explain and looked at me.

"What are you waiting for?! GOOOOOOOOO!" Max pushed me to go up stair! I walked slowly and looked back at Max who gave me a thumb up and a winked. I took a deep breathe and got up stair. I gently opened the door to see Harper was sitting up on the bed. She was doing her homework. When she heard the door opened, she looked at me and turned to look away.

"Are you feeling better now?" I asked her. She didn't say a thing. She just nodded. I was then silence. I couldn't open my mouth to say sorry.

"Okay! I'm just checking!" I said and walked back to the door! Max was standing at the door when I opened it. He pushed me back into the room that I fell to the floor. Harper looked at me like is-he-okay-or-something? I got up and smiled. I cleared my throat and was about to open my mouth to say that I was sorry when Harper said, "Don't worry, I am not going to tell anyone about you and Gwen. I don't really agree with our parents plan, so you are okay with it. I am not mad or anything, so don't worry about it!" I sighed and turned around. I felt really bad when I heard Harper saying all these words. I turned around and looked at her and sighed again.

"I'm sorry!" I said and walked out of the room. I walked to my room and stood against my door feeling really guilty. Why was she had to be so kind and nice to me? I didn't do anything to deserve those feeling! It just like Ben said. The only thing that I do is breaking her heart! I looked at my head statue that Harper made it for me along time ago when Alex made a wish that everyone stopped comparing her to me. She was the first person that came to say hi to me. Why I didn't pay any attention to that? I guessed I was too busy to notice!

Harper [pov]

I got to say this, I was crying right after Justin left the room. I told lies to him. I was lying to myself and Justin. I couldn't believe that I told him that. I can't do it. I was hurt when he came in with worry face. I thought that he was afraid that I would tell everyone about him and Gwen. I wouldn't do that. They look good together anyway, but I couldn't stand to see him together with Gwen. It's really hurt in my chest. Just to think of it had made my tears piled up! I lied to him that he can date Gwen, and I didn't mind.

I got out of the bed and put my homework and math book into my book bag and left the room. I went down to the sandwich shop and found Max was doing his homework. He saw me coming over to him.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked me. I smiled and answered, "I feel much better now."

"Did he tell you?" Max asked. I was confused.

"Who?"

"Justin, he went up there wanting to apologized and ask you out! Did he?"

"Yes, he did!" I lied, so he was going apologize and ask me out? Probably he felt guilty. Just asking a girl out, but he couldn't do it! I sighed and walked to the door.

"Wait!" Max called me back. I turned around to look at Max.

"Where are you going?" He continued.

"I'm going home."

"It's dark."

"It is okay. I can still be okay."

"But your parents are going to come and pick you up."

"Nah. They don't have to.... Tell your family that I say thank you!" With that, I walked out of the door.

Outside was cold, and windy. I walked down the street toward my house. Why do Alex's family had to live in this neighborhood? It was kind of scary. There were people smoking not really near to Alex's house. There were four guys smoking. Two of them were white guys and one of them was black and other was Hispanic. They talked and looked at me while I was trying to pass them. I was scared.

"Hey babe?" the white guy with a black hood asked me. I looked at him and tried to walk away, but the other three guys stopped me, and circled me so that I was standing in the middle of them. They took me to the corner of the neighborhood. The first thing that I thought of was Justin and Alex would come and help me. I was waiting that Justin to come.

"Babe, aren't you lonely? Just come with us, and we'll walk you home." The first guy said to me again.

"I...uh... don't need to." I said with a small voice. The guy walked closer to me and I back up and bumped into the Hispanic guy, and he grabbed my wrists held it to my back so that I was facing the first guy. The guy looked at me and he rubbed his hand over my cheek. He was about to kiss my neck when I screamed.

"Let go of me! Help!!!" I screamed really loud. The guy got really angry at me that he slapped my face.

"Shut the **** up, if you want to live!" He demand. I was so scared that I didn't move or say anything. The guy kissed my neck and to my chest. I was crying when someone shouted, "Let go of her now!" All the four guys looked around. I looked around too, but I couldn't find the person.

"I said, let go of the girl!" The voice repeated. The voice sound from above. I looked up to the sky and found someone was standing at the roof of one building. The guys looked up and see him, too. They let go of me and took out their guns. I gasped when I saw the guns. They shot at the stranger guy, but the guy jumped down from the roof while doing his karate back flip. He stood on the ground like it was really easy for him to do it. Wow, how could he do that? Who was him anyway? He got on a black mask on like Zero got on his eyes. The bad guys wanted to shoot him, but he moved so quickly that they couldn't catch up with him. Then one of the bad guys came to me and pointed me with the gun.

"If you want this girl to die, then keep on moving!" he shouted. The hero guy stop and looked at me and the bag guy. The other three took big sticks and hit the guy that he fell on the ground. They hit him and kicked him. I only watched with tear. I guessed those guys were tired of seeing a superhero got hurt because of an innocent little girl he was trying to protect. The bad guys gave up and walked away leaving me and the guy alone. I ran to guy while wiping out my tears, but before I reached him, I picked up my book bag that fell on the ground. I picked up my book bag and looked up. The boy was gone! What? Where is he? I looked up above the building, the boy was no where to be found. I walked a few step and looked down. I found a box gift with a white bow glued on top. I opened up the gift and saw a paper that was written, "Be careful, beautiful angel shouldn't be walking around by herself. She need a guardian, too." I grinned when I read it. I looked at the bottom of the paper, "signed by: NoName." Weird name, but I looked up to the sky and said, "Thank you, Mr. NoName!" I walked home safely to see my parents were at the door preparing to lock the door like they were going somewhere.

"Mom, dad!" I shouted to them.

"Harper? I thought we will pick you up. Did Justin bring you home? Where is he now?" My mom asked me. I didn't say anything. I walked to my mother and father, I hugged them. I feel like Justin is NoName, but not really sure. "No... I walked home by myself!" I told my mom and dad. They didn't look happy.

"Wow! but next time, do not walk home by yourself. We will come and pick you up!" My dad added. Then all of us went back inside. That night, I kept on dreaming about NoName. He talked like Justin, same height and everything. Except they had different names.
