I was sitting in the back of my class just staring off into space, day dreaming. I wasn't really paying attention to what my teacher was babbling about. Probably something about sentence structures I don't even know. I was thinking about Harry. I remember I used to have a small crush on him in middle school, but I think that it's passed. I remembered his perfect curly hair and his sparkling green eyes that lit up every time he laughed. I also couldn't forget, his adorable dimples.

I remembered watching Harry get put together with four other boys on the X-factor. Liam, Louis, Niall, and Zayn I think. I've thought about texting or calling Harry to tell him what a fantastic job he's done, but I haven't talked to anyone in so long, and i haven't seen Harry in so long, I was afraid. I was afraid he wouldn't remember me, and I was afraid I would'nt be able to find the words.

I was day dreaming about how we'd meet again. He was my best friend and now prbably doesn't even rememeber me. he's mister big shot, famous, and rich. He probably forgot all about me. I frowned. This topic was something I wrote about a lot in my journal. It was probably on almost every page

After school I ran home before Sasha and her gang could catch up with me. They'd always wait out front of the school for me and then they'd follow me home and taunt me the whole entire time. It was torture.

Luckily i beat them before they got there and I ran away before they caught up with me. When I got home, Lori is normally home, but today she wasn't. Kevin always works late so it wasn't a surprise that he wasn't here. I ran up to my room and closed the door. I opened the small hidden drawer i keep my journal in. I wrote down what i was feeling today.

Lonely, I miss Harry :(

I sighed and closed my book before putting it away. i looked outside. It was a gorgeous out so I decided to take a walk. I always took walks just to get some fresh air. I stepped outside and a warm breeze hit my face. Even though it was only March we've been having unseasonaly warm weather. The baby blue sky was dotted with puffy white clouds. These were the days when I felt happy and calm.

When I was walking i decided to go to the park. No one was usually there around this time of day because everyone was either at school, work, or home. I normally kept my head down as I walked on the stone path. When people looked at me I felt insecure and nervouse. I was afraid I'd have to talk.

Suddenly i bumped into someone. I looked up quickly and saw a boy. He was cute.... where did that come from? I looked closer at his face and realized it was Louis Tomlinson, one of Harry's band mates.

"Sorry about that love!" he said cheerfully. I just blushed and walked past him. "Wait!" he called. He jogged after me and walked next to me."are you alright?" he asked. I just nodded. He chuckled "Well alright then, what's your name?" he asked. I started faster. I kept my head down. I heard murmurs behind me and suddenly the voice stopped behind me.

"Amber? Is that you?" someone said. I turned around. Harry. He did remember me! Louis was standing next to Harry and he put his finger down from pointing to me. "Amber!" Harry ran over to ma and picked me up before spinning me around. I giggled. The first time I've smiled ever since he left.

"What are you doing here?!" Harry said smiling. I shrugged. "You're not talking," he said seriously looking at my face. I nodded my head towards Louis who was walking over. "Oh, hold on love." he said. He turned around. "Hey Lou, could you go find Niall, Liam, and Zayn?" Harry said

"I don't know where they are!" Louis protested. "Well go find them!" Harry said. Louis groaned and stormed off. Harry chuckled and walked back over to me. "Better?" he asked. I nodded.

"Aw come on Amber, you always talked to me," he said. "I know". I said softly. My heart stopped. I haven't heard my own voice in two years. Ever since Harry left for the X-Factor 

"So how have you been? I haven't seen you in ages!" Harry said putting his arm around me. "Good I guess, talking seems so strange to me," I said softly. Harry's smile faded. "You still haven't talked to anyone but me?" he asked. I nodded. "Not even Lori or Kevin?" he asked. I nodded.

"Amber, you have to talk to someone!" he said. "I'll talk to you," I said. He chuckled "I mean I'm not going to be around forever, I have to go on tour soon, this is just a little break we get from our hectic schedule," he said. I sighed. "I don't know, I mean Sasha is being worse than ever and I couldn't even look at Louis just now! How can I talk to anyone!" I said. Harry sighed "Come on boo I'm going to  introduce you to the boys," he said. I panicked and backed up.

"No!" I said. Harry sighed and turned around to look at me. "Please, you can get over your fear of talking by practicing on them," he said. "No," I said "I'll just practice on you!" I said. Harry shook his head "Nope, come on," he grabbed my hand and lead me down the road. "No Harry please!" I begged. I saw the other four boys in the center of the park just talking. "No!" I said digging my heels into the ground. Harry stopped and looked at me.

"I want you to try," he said "I thought for sure by now you'd be talking to people like you talk to me," he said "You mean you didn't forget about me?" I asked. "How could I? You're me best friend!" he said. I smiled and hugged him.

"I know you're just trying to help harry, but I really don't like this idea," I said. Harry smiled "Too bad boo," he said and grabbed my arm. He pulled me over to the boys. As soon as they looked at me I shut my mouth and locked it. From here on out I would not say a word, not until Harry and I were alone.

"Hey guys, this is my best friend Amber! Remember the one I told you about?" Harry said. "So this is the famous Amber, I'm Liam," Liam said "Harry' told us all about you," Niall said. I just stared at the ground becoming much more interested in my shoes all os a sudden. 

"Amber and I had a small encounter a few minutes ago," Louis said grinning. I just had a little behind Harry. Harry groaned and rolled his eyes before turning around. "You have to say something," he whispered to me. "No," I whispered back. "Do it," he whispered. "No," I said. "Doit." "No." "Do it!" I shook my head.

"So Amber, how are you doing?" Zayn asked. I shifted my feet.

"Does she talk at all?" Louis whispered to Niall, but I heard him. Niall shrugged. Apparently Harry left out the part that I never talk anymore when he mentioned me to the boys. "Amber say hi," Harry whispered in my ear. I glared at him.

"No," I whispered back. Harry's eye's lit up. "I have an idea," he whispered

"Which is ?" I whispered back. "I tell them everything you say, but you whisper it through me," he said. I nodded. I whispered something in his ear.

"She said hi," he said. "Does she talk?" Niall asked. harry listened to me. "She said that she only talks to me, that's why she's doing this," he said. "Oh," Liam said

"Hey Amber, sorry about earlier," Louis said. "She said it's okay," Harry said and Louis smiled. "Good," he said. My phone went off. The only way I communicate with Lori and Kevin is by text. I whispered something in Harry's ear. "Aw she said she has to go," he said.

I smiled sadley at the boys. "Bye Amber!" they all said as I started walking back. "Wait Amber!" Harry ran to catch up with me. "Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked. I shook my head. "No thanks Harry, I'll text you later okay?" I said. He nodded and gave me a hug before I walked home.
