*Harry's Pov*

It's been 2 weeks since i met with Sam, 2 weeks since Liam tried to bash my face in for tricking him, 2 weeks since Louis arrived, and 2 weeks since i told Lacy why Derek 'stood her up'. though it's only been a week since Sam's been in school. i couldn't help but let my mind wonder to her in health class as i glanced at her empty seat. i sighed knowing i had hurt lacy, derek, and worse of all Sam.

It was easy for derek and lacy to forgive me, though i hated watching them be all gushy with each other now.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" Derek asked from his seat in front of me. i looked around at the empty bookshop, watching lacy and louis laugh at something.

"yeah mate, you've been down for a while. whats up?" Louis asked joining us.

"he's worried about sam." lacy piped up. louis raised an eyebrow at this, though derek just nodded. i did honestly feel bad, though i didn't want her with liam. so we are both being avoided by her.

"oh, you mean that Rider girl?" my mum asked jumping in. i nodded, though curious as to why she was asking. "She's been coming in here every afternoon, a bookworm that one." my mum smiled softly thinking about her.

"why has she been coming in?" derek and i asked simultaneously. we looked at each other as she answered again.

"she's been buying a new book everyday."

"lets go visit her then, since we know she isn't sick." Lacy offered leaning against derek. i watched as he kissed her head, feeling slightly jealous that he had someone to kiss like that.

"yeah lets go! i want to meet this girl now." louis dragged me out of my thoughts.

i grabbed my keys off the hook, following everyone out the door. the drive felt longer than it really was, making me sigh as we finally pulled up. i breathed a sigh of relief as i saw liams car wasn't there.

"what? were you worried liam would be here?" derek asked me.

i couldn't say i wan't though lacy's words made my heart beat grow faster.

"why would liam be here? Sam told him off for trying to beat up harry."

as lacy rang the bell i felt my heart race, not sure why she was affecting me i brushed it off. the door swung open to reveal Tyler.

"i'm assuming your all here for sam?" he asked allowing us in. " well she's in the library, find it if you can." he said disappearing around a corner again. we all turned toward lacy, considering she's the only one of us that had ever been inside.

"it's by her room, come on." she said leading the way easily. i had to admit her home was rather large for a family of three. though her dad did work alongside liam's. lacy stopped in front of a tall dark oak door with a sign hanging from the outside. looking closer i chuckled,

"Enter with caution, the 'princess' is provoked."
it looked like tyler had written it. we all chuckled before gasping as lacy opened the door.
