Chapter 23: fighting

The next day I got up and got ready for school. I actually didn't mind going today. Henry and I watched films when we got home and ended falling asleep on the sofa together. When dad finally came home he let Henry stay on the sofa. I trotted into the kitchen to find Henry and dad sitting at the table.

"Morning." I smiled as I poured myself a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee.

"Morning stel, sorry I didn't come back till late last night, I had so much paperwork to catch up on." Dad said apologetically.

"Dad it's fine, I really didn't mind." I replied, I did have Henry keeping me company.

"Well I'm afraid your going to be alone tonight. JJ dropped Henry round his stuff this morning seeing as you two feel asleep in your uniform and she said that it would be nice if you did come home." Dad said to Henry.

"Ooh yeah, I'm sorry about that spence, it won't happen again." Henry said embarrassed.

"It's fine Henry but your mums right you can't live here forever." Dad joked.

"I know." Henry sighed.

"What happened?" Dad asked straight away.

"It's nothing." Henry lied. I instantly felt bad, I hadn't seen that Henry didn't even acknowledge JJ at the BAU yesterday.

"Henry." Dad said sternly.

"It's nothing." Henry said quietly, getting up from the table and leaving the room.

"Get it out of him." Dad said seriously at me.

"Don't worry I will." I replied, I was seriously worried about Henry. I got up from the table and walked into the living room. Henry just sat on the sofa staring at the Telly.

"So what are you watching?" I asked sitting next to him. He must of been in a deep thought because he jumped slightly when I spoke.

"Um, sorry, what did you say?" Henry asked confused.

"Henry what's wrong?" I asked softly. "And please don't say nothing."

"It's, just um my mum and dad." Henry spat out.

"What about them?" I alsed softly.

"They, um, I came home on Sunday and they were having a pretty bad argue,net. I ended up leaving the house and when I got back two hours later they were still at it. When they finally stopped, they wouldn't talk to each other. Stella I'm scared. I don't want them to get a divorce." Henry said childlike. It broke my heart.

"Henry, trust me your parents love each other. Everyone argues its natural. I think you should go home tonight and talk to the, about this because its clearly bothering right you really can't live here forever." I said looking him in the eyes.

"I know Stella, I'm sorry I'm just being stupid." Henry said looking away from me.

"Henry you're not, it's perfectly normal to feel like that. Listen I've got to finish getting ready for school but talk to dad, he's worried and he'll listen." I said getting up and kissing him lightly in the lips.

"Fine." Henry said stubbornly. I left the living room to go to my room. Dad was waiting in the kitchen. I decided to leave them to it so I finished doing my hair in my room. I stayed in my room until I realized that it was time for us to leave, I grabbed my bag and walked out into the hallway. The kitchen door was still shut. Not wanting to be late or intrude, I knocked on the door.

"Dad we should get going." I called out.

"i know stel, start heading to the car, we'll be two secs." Dad called back.

"okay." I shouted out. I got all my stuff together and left to go to the car. Henry really wasn't right but I knew that dad would sort him out. I slowly made my way down to the car. I didn't have to wait long because a few minutes later I was joined by a rather red eyed Henry and dad.

"Right everyone ready." Dad checked.

"Yep." I called out. The ride to school was in silence, i wanted to talk to Henry but just not with dad around. When we finally arrived I said bye to dad and Henry and I slid out of the car.

"How'd it go." Was all I could say.

"Fine, I um told spencer and he had a chat with me. He said I'm welcome to stay whenever but he's going to talk to mum." Henry said quietly.

"Henry, it's for the best she needs to know. Listen if you need anything at all, whether it's a midnight phone call or just a walk to clear your head, I'll be there Henry." I tried to say reassuringly.

"Thanks Stella." Henry said. "Can you do me a favor now?"

"Yeah sure what is it?" I asked.

"Stay with me in the library until homeroom starts." Henry said.

"Okay, why the library?" I asked extremely confused.

"Don't even deny it Stella, I'm a mess. The library is the last place anyone will go looking for me." Henry explained.

"Clever." I smiled. Henry and I made our way up to the library chatting like our usual selves. When we got to the library I was slightly taken a back at how big it was. At my old school our library was at least a quarter of the size and didn't have as nearly as many books.

"Wow." I breathed.

"I know it's a shame not many people use it." Henry commented.

"Dad would go mad if he was here." I laughed. Henry joined in. He found a small table in one of the aisles and sat down.

"You err don't think my mum will be mad at me?" Henry asked quietly.

"Henry, give me one good reason why she would." I replied back.

"Because I haven't told her any of this. Instead I've told your dad and now he's going to tell her." Henry sighed.

"Henry he won't tell her everything. She won't be mad at you. I think she'll be just concerned." I said trying to reassure him.

"I hope your right." He said grimly.

"Lets just talk about something else." I suggested, I really wanted to get him out of the funk he was in.

"like what." Henry replied still down.

"Like how you're one of the best people to fall asleep next too. You hug in your sleep you know." I giggled. This instantly brought a smile to Henry's face.

"Well your rather cosy too." He said back with a small smile.

"What were we even watching?" I asked.

"I believe it was sleeping beauty." Henry laughed.

"Well isn't that ironic. That film is such a classic." I laughed back.

"I'd agree but I was too busy sleeping." Henry said still laughing.

"I'd give anything to see dads face when he came in." I giggled.

"I know, I don't think he was overly happy with me." Henry smiled.

"Oh well he'll get over it." I smiled back. Just then the bell went and Henry and I legged it flown to homeroom. Luckily for us hadn't come in yet and everyone still wasn't seated.

"There you two are, we were beginning to think." Jake laughed.

"Shut up Jake." Henry smiled.

"Where did you go? I saw you too getting out of the same car this morning, then you disappeared." Sophie said cheekily, causing the boys to oooh and aaah.

"Guys calm down we we'ere just in their library." I laughed.

"But that doesn't explain you two getting out of the same car because I know for a fact that Henry's house isn't on the way." Harry said slyly.

"I just crashed on their sofa." Henry said defensively.

"sure." They all said. Just then walked in, he didn't even bother to hush us so everyone carried oN talking.

"Hey Stella." Grace said pulling me to one side.

"hey." I replied.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall with Sophie and I tomorrow, I thought had could get to know each other better." Grace said kindly.

"Yeah sure, I'd love to!" I said excitedly.

"great." Grace replied. "It's so nice to have another girl in the group, I get so sick of the boys sometimes."

"I can see why." I laughed.

"I know they can be right idiots sometimes." Grace said rolling her eyes.

"How long have you and jake been together then?" I asked.

"Oh about a year and a half." Grace smiled.

"wow that's pretty impressive." I said shocked.

"I know I surprise myself sometimes that we've stayed together this long. But I really do love him." She smiled. I could tell how genuine she really was because just talking about him made her eyes light up.

"I think you and Henry are pretty cute too. I've seen how he looks at you and trust me when I say this, you're the first girl Henry's ever dated." Grace smiled.

"Really." I beamed, I couldn't help myself.

"Yep, see what I mean you are perfect for each other."

"Well I hope your right because I really do like Henry." I smiled feeling on top of the world.

"He is alright though, I saw you two getting out the car and he looked upset." Grace said concerned.

"He was upset but he's better now." I smiled as I saw Henry laughing with his friends

The rest of the day went better than yesterday. I talked to grace a lot and I was really starting to become friendly with her. Henry had also cheered up and I think he even forgot that we had to go to the BAU. When school ended though his mood shifted as the whole way over there he was either pacing or nervously tapping.

"Henry it's fine." I said as we entered the FBI headquarters.

"I know, I'm just a bit nervous." Henry tried to smile.

"it's okay to be nervous." I said, as we entered the elevator. The whole ride up he was constantly tapping his fingers. When the elevator came to our floor I could see how much he was dreading this. I held his ah and and squeezed it lightly as we made our way through the glass doors.

"Hey stel, good day?" Dad asked.

"Better than yesterday." I smiled. I walked over and sat myself in Derek's desk seeing as he wasn't around,

"Your really enjoying it, aren't you." Emily smiled.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." I beamed back.

"Oi mini Reid shift." Came Derek's voice behind me.

"good afternoon to you too Derek." I joked getting up.

"Sorry but I love my seat." Derek moaned. "what's up with you today blondie, your strangely quiet." he said to Henry.

"Nothing baldie." Henry replied.

"ooh touché." Derek smiled. Just then JJ walked out of her office. Henry froze slightly when he saw her.

"Ohh you two are back. Henry can I talk to you a sec?" JJ asked casually.

"Sure." Henry replied. As he headed of towards JJ's office I saw the tapping increased. Henry was defiantly nervous.
