In Between

Chapter 8

*Harry's POV*

Does she really mean that? She wants to be with me? "Y-you do?" I stuttered. She probably didn't mean to say that out loud, I can tell just by the look on her face. I can read her better than everyone. She stood there for a minute taking everything in. She slowly nodded. My smile grew probably 10x's bigger than it already was and I ran to her house. I don't even know what to say right now. She still looked shocked. "Stop looking so shocked." I poked her sides. She took a deep breath.

*Shelby's POV*

I'm still trying to process what I had just blurted out to Harry. I mean yes, it was true but I didn't mean to say it out loud. Now. I smiled at him. His smile came back. Bigger than ever. I opened my arms to let him in. He took the gesture and accepted. He wrapped his arms around the small of my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, nuzzling into his neck. We stood like that for a minute, rocking back and forth. "I've waited so long to have you and I finally got you." he told me. "Me too." I whispered. Yes. I know I was with Chris but like I said, I've always liked Harry. Since we were kids. "Shelby!!" Klare yelled running into the room. "AWEEE!!!!" she screamed. I buried my face into Harry's chest. "GUYS!!!! LOOOOOK!!!!" she jumping up and down now. The two other girls ran to see what was going on. Their eyes laid on us and they did the same exact thing. "Oh my gosh, guys!" I yelled at them. I heard them all laughing. "We'll be downstairs." Deidre laughed.

*Mallory's POV*

I can't believe they're together!!!! OMG!! They're so cute! We plopped down on the couch and chairs. "They're too cute." Deidre commented. "Agreed." Klare said. "Dudeeeeeeeeeeeees." Deidre groaned. We looked at her. "We should invite the boys over here." her smile grew. She's always liked Niall. I've always liked Louis. Klare has always liked Liam. "Oh my gosh, yes!" Klare jumped up. This girl jumps a lot. I took out my phone and called Louis. He picked up on the second ring. "Hey love!" he said happily through the phone. "Hey Lou! Do you and the boys want to come over to Shelby's and hangout with me, Klare, and Deidre for a little bit? Maybe a big sleepover??" I'm super excited. We haven't had one of those in forever! "OMG girl, yes!" gosh, I love Louis. He's so much fun. "Alright. See you in.... Twenty?" I asked. "Fifteen." he corrected. We said our goodbyes and hung up. "I'm going to go tell Shelby what's going on." I said and got up.

*Shelby's POV*

We have been laying on my bed for maybe ten minutes just talking until someone came knocking at the door. "Come in!" I yelled to who ever was on the other side of my door. I saw the familiar face of Mallory. I smiled at her and she returned one. "Hey, is it alright if the rest of the boys come over and maybe a big sleepover like old times?" she asked. "Duh!" I yelled at her smiling. I looked at Harry and he just smirked at me. It wasn't no some smirk... It was devilish..
