I really need you guys to start commenting and voting. For instance I have no idea what to do for you guys since I hit 500 because you guys don't comment. Please start commenting and voting. I actually want to hear from you guys. Thanks.

All of a sudden I was awake and remembering that I never called that manager back. Oops. I wonder if its too late. I'll find out later.

I put on a black oversized sweater that said 'this is my too tired to function shirt' and black athletic shorts. I put my hair in a messy bun and put on some black knee-high fuzzy socks.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I decided to get some fruity pebbles and watch criminal minds.

I sat down on the couch and grabbed the remote to turn on the TV. We had Netflix, so I turned that on.

I sat there watching TV for what I think was two hours. The house was completely quiet except for the sound of the TV. Strange... This house is never completely quiet.

I walked upstairs and knocked on Zoie's door.

"What!?!" She snapped.

"Rowr! Someone's a grouch in the morning. I brought breakfast."

I passed her the two donuts I had brought upstairs with me. She automatically sat up. That's how you get her in a good mood, give her food.

"Okay seriously though. What do you want?" She asked me while still picking at the donut.

"Sorry, I just needed human interaction. No one is downstairs and the house is creeping me out."

"How is a house creeping you out?"

"I don't know, its just an eerie quiet, and I feel like something's wrong. So yeah. I'll leave now."

I stood up to leave, but Zoie grabbed my arm.

"Wait. What time is it?" She asked me.

I laughed nervously.

"About 7 in the morning... Bye!" I yelled and ran.

"Lily!?! You woke me up at 7 in the morning?!?" She screamed at me from the top of the stairs.

"No..." I replied.

I heard a door slam, which meant she went back to her room. However, not too long after, I heard another door open.

"What is going on?" Harry came downstairs rubbing his eyes and fixing his hair. "Oh. Its you." He said to me.

I was so happy that he was talking to me, but obviously I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. My heart dropped right then and there.

"Zoie's mad at me, because I woke her up this early." I said looking at the ground. I didn't want to look him in the eyes right now.

"Oh."

He walked around to the kitchen and got a bowl of fruity pebbles too. I stifled a laugh.

"What?" He asked me.

"Nothing." I replied.

"What is it Lily?"

"I just thought it was funny, because that's what I got too." I replied shyly.

"Oh."

He went and sat down in the living room and watched something on TV. I however, sat down at the counter and listened to some music on my phone.

It had been about 20 minutes when someone spoke.

"Lily?" Harry asked me.

"Yeah?"

"We never got a chance to talk. Mind if we do that now?"

"Sure."

I got up from the chair I was sitting on and walked over to the couch across from him, but he motioned for me to come sit beside him.

I walked over there and nervously sat down. We sat there for about 5 minutes in absolute silence.

"Did you really not trust me?" I whispered.

"What?"

"I asked if you really didn't trust me." I replied.

"I did and I do trust you, but it was difficult to accept seeing one of my best friends kissing my girlfriend. Imagine if you were in my position."

"I have! That's all I've thought about since the day it happened. Every tiny detail has been gone over multiple times. I haven't left one thing uncovered. I just... I don't... Ugh." I snapped. "I've been in your position before. I know how it feels. I learned that you shouldn't give somebody more than one chance, and I'm afraid that's what you're gonna do to me. I don't know. I know, I sound like an idiot. You don't have to tell me." I had calmed down a little bit.

"Lily, I... I didn't know. I had no idea that you've been in my position before. And honestly, I have too, which makes this so much more difficult."

"Would you mind if I told you my side of the story?" I asked him.

"Sure. Why not?"

I told him what actually happened, and he listened to me the entire time. His face was changing with every part of the story. Whether he was mad, upset, anything, his face showed it. When I was done, I realized that I was sitting with my knees to my chest hugging them and crying.

All of a sudden I was wrapped up in strong arms, and I started to calm down. The arms released me and I looked into Harry's eyes.

"I love you Lily."

"I love you too Harry."

"For the right person, second chances are worth it. Thank you for being the right person."

I didn't get the chance to say anything, he leaned down and kissed me. And for the first time in forever, I was finally happy.

Eeeeek!!! They finally made up!! Guys, what do you want me to do for you since I hit 500? In wanna do something special for you guys... Let me know ASAP!!!
