Song For This Chapter:

Jealous-Nick Jonas

"And everybody wants a taste
That's why I still get jealous
You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
'Cause you know I get excited, yeah
When you get jealous too"

Darlene's POV:

After we got back to my place from the diner we all hung out for a bit more. But Maya had to work later this afternoon so she unfortunately has to leave.

"Bye guys, I had a lot of fun. We definetly need to do this more often" Maya says with her usual bright smile on her face.

"Definitely" I respond not being able to help myself in returning a similar smile back to her. I actually am looking forward to when we all can hang out again. Our Hershey Park plans aren't too far away but I'm hoping to see them all again before that.

I can't believe I'm saying all this when Maya practically had to force me to let Harry come with us the first time at the bar. That feels like ages ago when in reality it's only been a couple of weeks, it's just a lot has happened within those weeks.

Niall begins to stand up as well which makes my eyebrows furrow in confusion,

"You don't have to go yet Ni if you don't want to" I state, I didn't want him to feel like he had to leave too.

"Oh uh, I drove Maya here" He says awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh" I say in realization, now feeling a bit bad for calling him out. I just nod my head back at him in understanding.

I guess this is where our time together ends, it's bittersweet but I also need to recharge my social battery. Not that I didn't have fun, but it can take a lot out of me. I also plan on taking a nap, maybe even running a bath or something. I think I deserve a self care day.

Once we say my goodbyes, Maya and Niall are out the door. I go to grab all the alcohol sitting on the coffee table and put it away. Maya insisted on keeping it here too as a way to make sure something like this happens again. I don't know why she making me keep the alcohol as a collateral considering I actually want to hang out with all of them again.

When I return to the living room I'm a bit startled when I see Harry still lounging on my couch scrolling through his phone looking extremely comfortable.

"I thought you left too" I say holding my hand to my chest as my heart rate tries to go back to normal.

He peers up at me over his phone, "I don't really have anything else to do today, do you?"

"Um, no" I say back apprehensively, I mean I don't really mind that he's here but also why is he still here. Does he really have nothing better to do then just stay at my place?

I also feel like it's common edicate to not basically invite yourself over. I'm always a bit confused when people go against these types of things because they were drilled into me as a kid. My Grandpa always made we were aware, constantly bringing it up at Sunday dinners.
