Now I see |H.S.| ON HOLD

Chapter 16

The rest of the day goes by pretty fast. And before I know it all my classes are over. Niall keeps his promise like before an drives me back home. Most of the short car ride was a small conversation about our day.

When we made it back to the building I went straight to my room. Cher was not back yet. Then again it is only 3:35 at the time. I think of what I an do to pass the time before Harry comes.

What if Cher is here when Harry comes? There will be no possible explanation for me possibly leaving with her boyfriend. Just the thought worries me more.

I decide to pass the time by talking to my dad on the phone. Just short conversation of how his job is going and how my school day is going. I tell him about my friends and he keeps bring up how i should never trust boys.

When my dad and I hang up it is almost 5. Cher is still not back and I'm no longer stressing so much.

I look in the mirror and check my appearance for the fifth time. Why am I so worried how I look when I'm with Harry. Something about him just makes me feel different about myself. I just don't know what that is...

While I stare in the mirror and move my hair around a bit my phone buzzes on my nightstand. I pick it up and unlock it. I read a message from Harry asking 'Can you come to the lobby?'

He must have had the same thought about how Cher would react to this. But he must not know that Cher still hasn't came back.

I stuff my phone into my pocket and key to the room. I head out the room and be sure to lock the door.

I take the elevator down to the lobby. I try to clear my mind and not have worry visible on my face.

The doors open and I walk out of the elevator. Harry is at the door with his arms crossed. He is looking at the ground trying not to make eye contact with possibly me or anyone else. I walk up to him not looking at the other students

"Lets go" Harry walks out of the building but also holds the door open enough for me to walk out. We head to his car and I am surprised that he doesn't open the door for me. I'm not sure if I should be insulted or thankful. I don't think Harry knows how I feel about that or not. I just get in the car and Harry begins to drive.

We have been in this car for an hour now and we haven't spoken at least one word to each other. I'm no doubt tired, annoyed, and pissed that he is obviously giving me the silent treatment but why?

"We have been in this car for an hour. Where the hell are we going?" I say demanding an answer. Harry keeps his eyes on the rode leaving the car silent. "Harry. Where are we going?" I say with more force in my voice.

This time I know he heard me because an eyebrow rises on his face. "Do you hear me?" I say already knowing the answer I just want him to respond to me.

"Why are you being annoying" He answers my question with a question but never leaving eye contact with the rode.

"Excuse me?" I glare my eyes at him but I know he doesn't see it. "You'll see when we get there." Harry says glancing at me for just a second. I roll my eyes at him. He can't be serious.

"Why are we so far from campus?" I ask him. This is probably the only question I ask him that I do not know the answer to. "Because no one from oxford will be here." he announces his tone even and emotionless.

It's now been 2 hours and Harry is now pulling into a vacant drive way. It is now dark and and I'm beyond tired. I look out the window and see an ocean.
