Arms Of A Stranger

Ross cheated on Rachel

Harper's POV

I woke up at 6am and Friends was still playing in the background, it was the episode where Ross cheated on Rachel even if he said they were on a break for me it was cheating, maybe it was the fact that i got cheated on from my first real boyfriend.

His name was Tyler, I met him in a grocery store because he bumped into me, and then we had a little chit-chat, and he asked me for my number.
We went out a few times and got along with each other pretty well, but for him it was nothing serious and I was too stupid to see it.
One time I went to his place and saw him making out with a blonde girl, and that's why I have trust issues now.

I stood up from my comfortable bed and decided to clean the mess I made yesterday when I cut myself.
When I was done I looked into my fridge and saw that it was almost empty, but I thought about going on a run and buy me some breakfast, and maybe go grocery shopping.

I opened my wardrobe to decide what I was going to wear for the run. I took some comfy sweat pants, and a sport T-Shirt from Nike that was in a beautiful shade of blue.

When I looked at my phone, I saw that Summer was calling me so I picked my phone up.

"Harp why did you called me in the middle of the night", Summer asked me.

"Sum it is a really long story, maybe we should meet up, I really messed up with my neighbour"

"Sure where should I come?, what about the little bakery next to your apartment?"

'Yes I'll meet ya there in 10 minutes?"

"Almost there Harp"

I put on my shoes and took my keys with me. When I opened the door I was afraid to see Niall, but it was silent so I went into the elevator and pressed the button, the elevator moved, but made really weird noises.
I got out of the elevator and saw Summer standing outside waiting for me.

Summers outfit was a blue Jeans with a cute yellow flower Shirt that really fit to her hair colour. She has blonde hair and beautiful light curls. 
Summer was always good looking, maybe because she's a Model, but she made me sometimes a bit insecure with myself because she's so stunning, and she always gets the guys and I am the friend that is always third wheeling.

"Hey Sum, " I said with excitement because I really needed someone to talk to about yesterday.

"So what's up with you Harp?", Summer looked at me with worry.

"Let's just buy something first in the bakery because I'm starving Sum"

We went into the bakery, and it was a dream. It was beautiful in there. The walls were white with flowers on it, the floor was white and the tables, and chairs looked vintage.

The counter had a few delicious things on it and I was looking at a bread with cheese and salad. Summer also got a bread, but with meat on it.

We sat down in the corner of the store and ate our bread. I told her everything what happened the other night. That I cut myself and run to his door and heard someone fighting.

I told Summer who my neighbour was because I knew that she was a directioner back then, and she would freak out if I wouldn't tell her.

She was very surprised, but I was happy that she reacted calm and not screaming. I told her also that I drank wine with him, kissed him and run away without saying anything to Niall.

"Sum I don't know what I should do now, it was so embarassing, and he's my neighbour who I will eventually see in the future again."

"Harp maybe you should knock on his door and apologise, but I'm sure he will understand, you were drunk Harp"

"Yes I was drunk, but it was still the stupidest thing I've ever did"

"Okay what about you invite him and cook him something nice without cutting yourself?"

"Nice idea Sum, but I don't think I'm able to talk to him ever again in my life"

Then Summers phone rang and I knew what that meant. Summer was a busy woman, if she was not hanging out with me, she was with Brady somewhere or had a Photo shoot.

"Brady asked me if I want to come over and hang out for a bit, but if you don't want me going I'll stay or you can come with me I'm sure Brady hasn't anything against it", she said it with a sense of guilt and pity in her voice.

"I'm okay Sum, just go and I will go for a little run now", I was totally not okay, I really wanted to spend some time with her after that night, but I guess I could binge watch Gilmore Girls again.

After Summer left I started running towards a Park. I was thinking about what I should buy later when I go grocery shopping.

I really wanted to eat ice cream and chocolate. I also needed some vegetables and fruits because my plan for this year was to eat only healthy, but I guess I have to make an exception for today.

I had a Beatles song playing when I ran around the corner and the first thing a saw in the distance was Niall standing on the bridge. I stopped running and was walking towards him, and he did the same.

"Harper could we talk about yesterday", Niall asked.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about yesterday too"

"Niall I'm so sorry, I don't know why I kissed you, I'm so embarrassed about it and I made you uncomfortable", I burst out.

"Harper calm down its okay I'm not mad at you, honesty it wasn't a really great night yesterday, but you helped me to distract myself from you know who", Niall whispered the last sentence.

"I'm still so sorry Niall, could we please forget that the night happened and maybe start new", I waited for an answer patiently.

"Hi, nice to meet ya I'm Niall, what's your name?", Niall said it with a big smile on his face and laughed.

"Nice to meet you Niall, I'm Harper", I smiled back at him.

"So what are your plans for today?", I asked him.

"I want to buy some food and wallow", he smiled shy on the ground.

"Okay what about we go grocery shopping together, and then we can watch a movie or something?, or do you want to be alone Niall?"

"Sounds good to me", Niall said

We walked together to a little grocery store that was near to our apartment.
I bought my vegetables, fruits, and lots of ice cream for Niall and me.
Niall bought as well vegetables and a big chocolate bar.

"Do we want to order a pizza when we're at home?", Niall asked.

"Actually, I wanted to cook something, but I guess it's better if we order a pizza because I don't want to cut myself again"

"I totally agree with you", Niall laughed.

We walked past the French bakery until we arrived to the front door.
We went into the elevator, and Niall pressed the button, but what we didn't expected to happen was that the elevator stopped moving and made really awful noises like the ones I heard earlier.
