Harry's POV
I stared at her as she peacefully sleeps in her bed, her long hair spread on her pillow and hugging her beautiful face. I could just watch her sleep forever. Her pink lips and flushed cheeks make her look cute. Her big eyelashes and small nose. She was absolutely gorgeous and I sometimes wonder what did I do to deserve such an angel.
I pursed my lips as I made my way closer to her bed. I didn't like that I have to wake her up so she can get ready for college. Actually, she should've been there two hours ago, but I felt bad when I saw how desperatedly she begged for a couple of more minutes of sleep, so I decided to let her sleep for 2 more hours.
I gently shake her shoulder before pushing a strand of her hair away from her face. “Rebecca darling, wake up.” I mumbled softly, causing her to squeeze her eyes.
“Mmm?” she hummed and rolled on her stomach, blocking me from seeing her face, sending a tiny wave of dissapointment through me.
“Time to get ready.” I murmured, placing my hand on her back.
“What time is it?” she groaned, taking a fistful of the sheets.
“It's almost eleven.”
“Ten more minutes? Pretty please?” she lulled, her voice small and sleepy.
“Nope.” I shook my head even though she couldn't see me. “You have to eat breakfast and change clothes.” I urged, patting her back twice.
She rolled on her side and opened her hazel eyes to give me a sleepy smile. “No shower today, huh?” she teased, making me chuckle.
“Not today. Now get up, you already missed two first hours.” I said and stood up. She raised her brows in surprise before squinting in the light.
“Really?” she asked, rubbing her eye.
“Yes. Hannah also called, she asked if you're ill because you didn't go to college but I told her what happened.” I muttered as she slowly pulled the covers to the side and placed her feet on the floor.
“Good. Thanks.” she nodded and stretched her arms above her head before yawning. “Wish I could sleep the whole day.” she murmured as she stood up.
“Don't go to work today.” I said, hoping she will agree. It will be better because seriously, the house is so empty without her and I'm literally bored to death. I only have practise to go and I sometimes go out for a walk, but that's nothing compared to when Rebecca and I spend the time together.
She gave me a blank look. “The guys need me and I'm not gonna let them down.” she said and walked past me.
“Always selfless.” I claimed, turning around to look at her as she walked towards the bathroom.
“Baby, I was born this way.” she sang, making me laugh. She closed the door and locked, as if I don't have the power to break it down with a simple push.
“Got croissants and coffee ready for you downstairs.” I informed from the other side of the door as I leaned against it. “Are you okay with that or do you need something else?”
“Umm, doritos and chocolate?”
I stared blankly at the door as the words hit my ears. “Let me guess...period?”
I heard her sigh. “Yes!” she whined. “I can't believe it..”
I rolled my eyes. Fucking great. Now she has her period again. I don't know why, but it irritates me some times when she gets her period because she's more sensitive than she already is and she gets angry with almost everything I do.
“Okay, I'm going to buy you some snacks and pads, yeah?”
“You can buy me tampons if you want, I think it won't be that uncomfortable anymore.”
I cleared my throat, feeling kind of awkward when it comes to these kind of stuff. “Okay. I'll be back.”
“Okay, thank you!”
I smiled as I grabbed my jacket and put it on before grabbing my car keys and left the house. When I looked at my car, a proud smile formed on my lips. Man, I just fucking love that car.
I jumped in and clasped my seatbelt before turning on the engine and pulling the car on the road. The things I do for this girl...I would never thought I would do such things for a girl, but I can't say I'm not glad that I have the chance to give her everything she'll ever want. She deserves so much and some time I feel like I don't give her enough.
Last night I was so worried. I sensed coldness coming from inside the house when we knocked on Niall's door repeatedly and then I realized who was waiting inside. I knew Rebecca wouldn't handle it, but being the brave girl she is, she took the risk and got herself hurt again. It killed me seeing her cry and she came to the point to even ask me to compell her. Like this is proof how must she has suffered. I wish I could take her pain away, but there's no fucking way I'm compelling her.
Just as I turned the car on my left, my phone buzzed on the passenger's seat and I reached to take it. I opened the text without checking out the name and read it.
Unknown: We need to talk.
I don't even have to text back to know who it is. Of course I haven't saved the number. That would be the biggest mistake ever. My stomach churned nervously and I pulled the car to a stop when I came to a red light. My eyes lingered on the screen for a few more seconds before I tossed my phone on the passenger's seat. Awesome.
I ran a hand through my hair and rubbed my temples. I know I have to go. But I also know that I can't do this. My mind keeps warning me about Rebecca. Yesterday she was so sad and it hurt seeing her like that. I don't want to be the cause of her tears but everything that's done is done. I can't change what I did.
An inner battle between my brain and heart literally tortured me. I needed time to think but I knew I didn't have any. Maybe after Rebecca's gone to college I can go and—no! Cut with the shit! If you do this again you might get caught, don't you fucking get that you're playing with fire?
I sighed out of frustration. No, I can't just sit here and let it go. The text...I have to go. And I don't fucking care about the consequences. I have to man up and face what has to come someday. Once the light turned to green, I turned the car on the right and headed to my destination I've been going to multiple times before, which wasn't the market.
Once I parket outside the building, my stomach flipped anxiously once again. I took a deep breath and got out of the car before slamming the door shut. I went to the entry and pressed the button with my index finger to ring the bell. I waited for almost a minute before I heard the voice speak.
“Hello?”
“It's me, Harry.” I said lowly, looking down at my feet. My heart panged painfully when I opened the door and stepped inside but I ignored it. There's no turn back now.
I got into the elevator and pressed the number that will take me to the third roof. I pulled my lips to my mouth as I waited and I nervously played with one of my rings. I inhaled deeply as I stepped out of the elevator and headed to the door.
I knocked on the door three times and fisted my palm, holding my jaw set. The door swung open and we locked eyes, my stomach twisted into knots.
“I got your text.” I muterred, narrowing my eyes as I spoke.
“Come in, I have some things to tell you.”
Rebecca's POV
Harry's late. For about 24 minutes. And he doesn't reply any of my messages or calls. He was supposed to go to the market and buy me some snacks and tampons, not buy the whole damn market. I started bleeding and if Harry doesn't come here soon then my clothes will be a mess. My phone vibrated and I saw a text notification popping on my screen.
Hannah: Still home? x
Sighing, I replied.
Rebecca: Got my period, I'll be there by the next hour x
Hannah: Ok. Are you hurting? x
I smiled that she cared to ask. Hannah's always there for me when I need her, which makes her the best friend I could ever have.
Rebecca: A little but I'll live x
Hannah: Maybe you should stay home today :)
Rebecca: No I'm fine :) x
Hannah: Stubborn :* See you later xx
Rebecca: See ya xx
Minutes later, I heard the front door opening and I looked up at the ceiling and mouthed “finally”. I was sitting on the toilet for 10 minutes now because of the bleeding and I wouldn't want to sit any longer.
“Rebecca?” he called.
“In here!” I yelled, ready to give him a lecture for being late.
He opened the door and looked at me, making me blush for a moment. He scrunched his lips up in disgust, “Started bleeding?” he asked.
I gave him an icy glare. “What do you think?” I scolded.
He grimaced. “How long ago?”
“Ten minutes.” I replied gruffly.
“Sorry,” he apologetically shrugged and stepped inside, holding a bag. “Here are your tampons and snacks. I also bought some pads in case you don't want to use tampons.” he said as he handed it to me, bringing a small smile to my lips.
“Thanks.” I said and just as he was about to leave I spoke. “And Harry?”
He turned around to face me and leaned against the frame. “What?”
“Where were you?” I asked, eyeing his face suspiciously.
He looked away awkwardly and shrugged nonchalantly. “At the market but it had too much traffic, as always.” he replied before leaving me all alone.
I hummed and looked back at the bags I was holding. Traffic huh?
“Do you like it?” Harry asked me after he swallowed down his buscuit.
I nodded, chewing my bite. God, this croissant is heaven. “It's great.” I replied after swallowing, reaching for my coffee. “So, have you thought of joining college yet?” I asked, trying to make a conversation.
He shrugged and looked down at his phone. “No.” he replied flatly, and I could tell he doesn't even want to think about college.
“It's fun though.” I said, bringing my cup closer to my lips.
He glanced at me. “I don't find those fuckers fun.” he spat before refocusing on his phone. Something is wrong. He's thoughtful today and more skeptical, and also moody. After he went to the market, he barely says more than five words.
“I didn't tell you to hang out with those boys. Niall is there too. Hannah and Emily also. I mean, you won't be bored here. You'll be with them more and you'll have company.” I said, moving my hand in the air.
“Still not interested.” he muttered, furrowing his brows even more as he typed on his phone.
Not this thing with his phone again.
"Would you mind putting that down and talk to me?” I said, a little bitterly.
He sighed out of frustration and pursed his lips before placing the phone down and giving me a sarcastic smile. “You happy now?”
“What is wrong with you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him as I held the croissant close to my lips. “You're suddenly moody.”
“M'fine.” he grumbled, stealing a croissant from my plate.
“Doesn't look like it.” I pointed out.
He rolled his eyes. “Finish your breakfast, you have to leave in ten.” he said gruffly before standing up and leaving, with my croissant and his so loved phone in his hands.
What's up with him now? Why is he closing to himself? I sighed and took a sip from my hot coffee. This Harry is confusing me. The lonely, misterious one. And now he prefers his phone instead of me. However, I can't worry about that again. I have serious things to talk about today and if Harry's just not in a mood to talk then I'm not going to push him.
“I'm going to Hannah's after college so don't come to get me.” I inform Harry as he parks the car and grab my bag. Hannah texted me when we got in the car. Harry was silent the entire drive and it kind of felt awkward, so I didn't say anything in case I upset him.
“Okay.” he muttered, running a hand through his curly locks.
I hesitant at first before I lean in and kiss his cheek, trying to lighten up the mood. “See you tonight.” I said and opened the door.
“Wait, you're not coming home before work?” he asked, furrowing his brows. I jumped out of the car and shook my head.
“No, I'll go straight to work from Hannah's. See you.” I smile and close the door with a slam before making my way to the buiding.
I might missed the first two classes but I'm here now. I bet the boys don't expect me to come at all today but, it's not as if it was my decision either.
I stepped into the building and headed to the cafeteria. I just ordered a sandwich and an orange juice and sat down with my tray. Yes, I ate only about half an hour ago, but that's how I am when I'm on my period. I took my phone out of my pocket to text Hannah and let her know I'm here.
Rebecca: I'm here. Meet me at the cafeteria x
Hannah: You just made me lose my game, but ok x
I laughed. Of course Hannah would play games on her phone during class. She really does hate history more than anything else. Minutes later, the bell rang and the cafeteria started getting more crowded. I didn't move from my seat though because the girls were about to come.
“Hey there.” Emily and Hannah suddenly appeared from behind me, carrying their trays with them.
Emily sat next to me and Hannah across from me. “Hey, how was class?” I teased, gaining a glare from Hannah.
“Boring as hell.” she groaned, grabbing her fork.
“It was fine,” Emily replied simply, bringing a fry to her lips. “How are you feeling?”
“Good. You wanted to talk about Spencer?” I brought up the subject and they both nodded.
“Yeah, she texted me.” Hannah said before taking a small sip from her cherry juice. “She said she wanted to talk to us.”
I frowned. Wow, a little late for that. “Do you think she wants to be friends with us again?” I asked, looking between them.
Emily scoffed. “Spencer is stubborn. She wouldn't want to apologise if she didn't have anything to win.”
Hannah nodded in agreement before swallowing down her bite. She preffered to eat salad today. “She wants something from us.” she said skeptically.
What would she want from us? Our friendship? She lost it, but she can win it if she apologises and means it. But seriously, I don't know if I'll be able to hang out with her again. Her attitute irritates me. She's way too selfish and cocky. I still remember the way she treated the girls and it only frustrates me.
“To be honest, I don't want to be friends with her again.” I muttered, looking down. I was slightly scared they would give me judging looks but I was surprised when Emily agreed with me.
“Me neither. I know Spencer for a long time and I don't want to face all the problems she causes again.” she huffed, playing with the straw of her juice.
“Why now?” Hannah asked out of the blue, staring down at her plate. “Why would she text us now and not a week or two after the fight?” she looked up at us with confused eyes.
“Maybe she wasn't ready. But still, do you girls trust her enough to be her friend again? She didn't know me that long so it doesn't really matter what I say.” I said, moving my hand between them.
“I don't know,” Hannah groaned. “I want to hear what she has to say but I just don't want to talk to her, you know?” she furrowed her brows.
“Exactly.” Emily sighed.
The three of us stood silent for a couple of minutes whilst everyone around us were chatting and laughing.
“I say we should give it a shot.” Hannah suggested, making me look at her from my nails. “Just listen to what she has to say and then we decide.” she added, shrugging simply.
“Fine.” Emily grumbled, playing with her food. “But if she mentions something about boys, I'm leaving.” she raised a finger and I nodded. “I don't trust her enough to tell her about Stefan.” she shook her head.
“Okay.” I agreed quietly. “But we have to be careful. She might want something else than our friendship.“
Emily chuckled. “Might?” she repeated sarcastically. “She wants something from us.”
Hannah sighed heavily and leaned back in her seat, her blonde hair bouncing on her shoulders. “Wow, she's not even here and I'm already pissed off at her.” she muttered.
I chuckled. “I know right.”
“Text her and tell her that we're free tomorrow.” Emily said, pointing at Hannah.
“Wait, why not today?” Hannah asked confused.
Emily smirked. “Because I'm inviting you to a sleep over tomorrow night at my place.”
I smiled. “Really?”
She nodded, smiling happily. “Oh yes. We'll also talk about Spencer. And guess what else,”
Hannah raised a brow. “You're gonna tell us about your first time with Stefan?”
I couldn't help but laugh as Emily's entire face flushed. “No,” she said in a way as if it's obvious. “Zoe and Liam are coming for the weekend. So Zoe's joining us too.”
Hannah and I gasped in surprise. “Oh my God, really?” Hannah asked with wide eyes.
“Fuck yes!” I hissed. I was so happy they were visiting us again. We had a great time at my house that night when we were all having dinner together. I better invite them again. I sometimes wish Liam and Zoe lived here and not in New York.
“Niall will be so happy when he finds out.” Hannah grinned, taking her phone out.
“And Harry.” The moment the words came out of my mouth my smile faded away. I'm still confused as to why he suddenly became moody. I wish he didn't keep things from me. I guess now we'll have to talk about it, because as he says, I don't like it when they keep things from me, especially Harry.
“So, sleepover tomorrow at yours?” Hannah smirked, staring directly at Emily.
Emily nodded, a huge grin plastered on her tanned face. “We're gonna have so much fun.”
The bell rang and we all sighed. “Guess I have to go now,” Hannah stood up. “See you girls at the front yard, yeah?”
Emily and I nodded. “Okay.” I said and we both started walking towards our classes, which were thankfully close to each other.
“Aaron look!”
I bit my cheek, already knowing who are the two guys that run towards me. Their heavy footsteps can be heard from meters away and I slowly turn around to see Josh and Aaron approach me.
Josh smirked. “Thought you weren't coming today.” he slightly panted.
“I was supposed not to come but, I changed my mind.” what a great lie. If it was in my hands, I would still be sleeping in my bed, my bag of doritos tightly held in my hands.
“Good, because it's time to mess with mr.Fred.” Aaron grinned cheekily, lightly elbowing my ribs.
Emily, who stood awkwardly next to me, cleared her throat. “I'm going to class, see you later.” she patted my shoulder twice.
“Sure, see ya.” I smiled at her before she turned around and walked away.
“Come on girl,” Aaron wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “Time to play a game.”
I miss my bed so much.
