31 Days {L.S}

Chapter 6

My eyes lock with Harry's and the loud chatter in the background slowly disperses .

"I- sorry,-" Harry looks away and I hope he doesn't regret the kiss already.

"No, its okay, I liked it, Thank you for being my New years Kiss" I smile brightly up at him and his expression softens.

"Yeah no problemo" Harry says comedically. I look around the room and Liam is ushering people out the front door. I look up at Harry and we both laugh

"Is he always like this" Harry questions and I just nod through my laughter

"Come on" I eventually say.

 I grab Harry's hand and guide him with me to follow Liam. As we're walking my fingers lace with his and His grip tightens, It warms my heart and I rub my thumb across his finger.

We eventually get to Liam after pushing through the crowd.

"Li what are you doing?" I pull Liam's arm to me.

"Well it's past midnight, PARTY'S OVER!" Liam shouts over the crowd And he gets a plethora of grunts and whines from the drunk crowd. "It's past midnight, and I'm tired so yeah-"

"The party literally started an hour ago" I cut him off and This is all so ridiculous I hope no one remembers me for this party.

"Yeah but Jay and the girls will be back on Monday, it'll take me a while to clean so It's better if we're not stuck dealing will the drunks in the morning " Liam explains and He's right. Mum would be mad if she found out we had a party.

This is why I'm friends with Liam, He's smart.

 Liam stops talking as he glances down at Mine and Harry's intertwined hands. "Oh," Liam's eyes widen and he smirks and knocks into me. He's still drunk.

"It's not like that" I leg go of Harry's hand and he awkwardly stands there" I just didn't want to lose him in the crowd" 

Liam does this for every party, as soon as he decides to get tired he makes everyone leave, he's such a grandad.

The crowd lingers for a while on the front garden as they're all pushed out the house. 

I look out the door and there are 30 drunk people littered around garden, I go to laugh as I close the door. Stan was passed out in my mom's rosemary bush. They'll all walk away eventually.

I turn back into my own house and the only people left are Me, Liam, Zayn and Harry. 

"Are you not going to make me leave too" Harry asks and I shake my head, he's not even drunk and I've barely even spoken to him tonight.

"Nope, You and Zayn can stay for a while if you like" and as I say that Zayn begins to walk upstairs and no doubt he's going to pass out on the guest bed. 

"Wait Zee, here's the key to the door" Zayn turns back to me whilst he stands in the middles of the stairs, I chuck the keys up at him and catches them smoothly, he stumbles up the stairs slowly.

 Liam watches him walk up.

"I'll meet you up there, I just need to clean up here" Liam calls up after Zayn .

 Zayn hums a response in return as I hear the bedroom door close.

Liam begins to collect the rubbish up in black bags and I sit down on the sofa , I pat the space next to me inviting Harry to sit next to me. 

He slowly sits down and He's still clutching his drink. "I'm glad you came" I mutter to Harry making him turn to face me,

"Yeah, me too" He says as his eyes move from his cup, back up to me "Do you have a New years party every year?" He continues.

"Nope, Liam insisted I have one year because I'm moving after January so he thought this would be a nice way I could say good bye to everyone" I trail off and Harry's face twists.

"Wait you're moving? to where? ...why?" I place my hand gently on Harry's legs to calm him but I quickly remove it. I don't even know him.

"It's a long story but yeah I got a job so I'm moving on February 1st" As i tell him it dawns on me that I'll probably never see Harry again. The thought becomes a burden at the back of my mind.

"For real" Harry says shocked, Why is he shocked? "That's my birthday" Harry chuckles but he sounds sad.

"Oh Well I have 31 Days and a couple of hours left here, might as well make the most of it" I shrug my shoulders. "How old are you turning?"

"I'm turning 20, I feel kind of old"

"I turned 20 a week ago and it was okay, I swear I'm already getting grey hairs, I asked Lottie and she said that I had wrinkles as well" I say annoyed.

Liam finished cleaning and head up to bed with Zayn, no doubt Zayn will wake up tomorrow with a massive hang over but Liam will sort him out so I'm not worried. The house was spotless Liam was probably half drunk but still did a good job.

"I'm going to bed, I'll see you both later or whatever" Liam says as He makes his way to the stairs up to the guest bedroom he'll probably just end up sleeping next to Zayn.

The night drags on and me and Harry remained on the sofa talking for hours . He told me all about his family and his favourite memories from school. It turns out Harry's older brother Niall was on my Football team a couple years ago. 

What a small world we live in.

The dim room slowly starts to regain sun light as the sun begins to rise.

Me and Harry are both laying on each side of the sofa with our legs tangled together in the middle giggling about the one time Niall lied about breaking Harry's guitar.

"-and he was holding  and he was like 'oh so you strum?' and i was like of course,'... then pulled down on the last string its snapped of and hit him right in the face" Harry finished the sentence in eventually between litter gasps of laughter. I'm laughing so hard at Harry's impression of Niall and I begin to get a stitch.

"That is such a Niall thing" I laugh and glance at the window clutching my belly "I can't believe its already the morning" 

"Yeah I should probably get going my mum's probably wondering where I am" Harry and I both slide off the sofa and stand. I don't want him to leave but I lead him to the door.

"Yeah of course" I say as I glance down at the floor.

"I'll see you later, I only have 31 days with you starting today and I want to make it the best" His words surprise me and I smile up at him

"Thank you, Harry. I'll message you" I say as I open the door and he walks out to his car parked in front .I stand in the door watching him as he walks down the path and he turns abruptly stalking towards me wrapping me in a tight hug around my neck.

"I'm glad we met, Lou" He says softly as i rest my hands on his waist. He's so warm. My words catch on my tongue and I stand their in silence flushed.

We part and he drives off. I wave my hand at him as his car disappears out of my view.

I close the door and lean my back against it, I close my eyes and try to take in the past 12 hours.

As I close my eyes I'm met with his emerald eyes and curly hair that frames his face. 

He is imprinted in my mind, I never want this feeling to fade.
