chapter 15

"Friends"

The word keeps repeating through my mind. The way he smirked when he said it. The way he said it. The way he stared into my eyes when he said it. I shivered as the breeze picked up and ran down my neck. "You cold?" Harry asked, sounding worried but he probably wasn't worrying at all. "Yeah, a little" I spoke quietly as I tried to warm myself up by rubbing my hands together. "Let me take you home". The way he said that made my body tense. It must of been really obvious, because Harry laughed at me. I smiled lightly, looking at the floor in embarrassment. I looked up at him again, our eyes meeting as we both stare into one another's eyes. After what felt like forever Harry broke the silence. "C'mon, my car is this way" he explained, nodding in the direction of his car. We walked in silence towards his car,'it wasn't an awkward silence either, like a calm, thoughtful silence. "Here it is" Harry explained as he unlocked his black Range Rover. Instantly, my eyes lit up. "OMG, you have a Range Rover. I have always wanted one of these" i explained, a little too excitedly. Harry just laugh lightly, shaking his head. I pulled myself into the passenger seat of his car, buckling myself up. Harry put both of his hands on the steering wheel, turning the car on speeding off into the night.

Minutes later, we pulled outside the front of my house. There was a bit of an awkward silence, until I turned my head to gaze into emerald eyes. "Thanks Harry for driving me home" I said quietly, playing with my clutch. "No problem Lex, I could see you getting a little bit uncomfortable and now that we are friends the least I could do is drive you home". Why must he be so sweet, once upon a time he was a dickhead and now he is proposing we should be friends. Unbelievable. I nodded slowly before shifting my body out of his car. I walked to my door and opened it. I turned around and waved, signalling he could leave. He waved back, biting his lip then drove off up my forever long driveway. Once I was inside, I took my shoes off and quietly tiptoed up the stairs towards my room, not wanting to wake anyone up. I gently shut my door behind me, then tossed my clutch and phone on my desk. I made my way towards my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Whilst brushing me teeth, I heard a silent vibrate coming from my desk. I walked out of the bathroom and picked up my phone. It was Harry!!

'good night, "friend" xx'
