Where it all starts...

Chapter 16

Next Day:

I wake up naturally and get out of bed and start my daily routine. I brush my hair and put on moisturizer. Than I put on my cloths, I threw on some skinny jeans and a wool sweater with a white scarf and slipped on some leather boots. I made my way down stairs with my backpack so it looked like I was ready to study. “Mom Dad I’m going to the library to study.” “Okay don’t be out past 5!” “Fine” I agree as I walk out the door. Going to ‘the library’ aka Harry’s house. He gave me the directions and it seems to be closeish to my house so I set off by foot. About 7 minuets of walking I stop and check the map to see if I was going the right way. The map said the street he lived on was named King and the number was 2194. I look up so what street I am currently on. The sign says King so I am on the right street. I turn around to see what house I am currently at. The number is on the mailbox and it reads 2.1.9.4. OHH! This is his house. Seeing his house now that I am here standing in front of it, I just got really nervous. I walk up to the pretty big house, at least for Holmes Chapel. Butterflies fluttering so hard in my stomach. Why was I so nervous? I get to the porch and lean into knock the door and hit it twice. The door swings open to revel a pretty girl who looks like she is about in her 20’s. She takes one look at me and turns around and screams in the opposite direction “HAZZZ YOUR GIRL FRIENDS HERE!!” “SHUT UP GEMMA!!!!” I can’t help but blush because Gemma who I was guessing was his sister thought we were together. “Please come in Harrys Friend girl.” She says and winks. “What was your name again?” “Arley Harrison.” I say as I walk in. They had a very nice house. It actually seemed rather hommy not like my house, which was infested with my brothers and my dad’s junk. Then I hear Harry’s feet running from upstairs then I see him run down the stairs and slide on his socks when he gets to the bottom. “Nice place you got.” “Yeah it works” he says and looks around. “So wanna come up to my room or stay down here? Which would be more comfortable for you?” he was so thoughtful of my feelings, it was really nice. “Which ever is more convenient for you.” “Okay lets just head up to my room then.” He said and signals me and I take a step in front of him and walk up the stairs. Wow he probably just did that so he could check out my ass. I look around to see which way should go when I get to the top of the stairs. “To the right.” I turn right and walk into the first room that I see. “This is my room.” He says and spreads his arms wide like a presenter. “Very nice.” I say looking around. He shuts the door and takes a seat at the foot of his bed and signals me to come sit next to him. “So I have some thing to ask you.” He looks almost concerned. “Yes go on.” I say encouraging him to proceed. “So you know how there are many forms of self expression?” I nod. “Well mine is…singing.” He waits for me to respond or mock him or laugh. I just smile and nod. “Really? I had no idea that amazing!!” “Yeah apparently my mother thinks so to because she really wants me to audition for the x-factor.” He waits again for my response. “Harry you should!” “How do you know I should? You haven’t heard me yet.” “Would you sing for me? So I can officially tell you should.” I say with a pleading smile. “Pleaseeeee” “Okay. But if I don’t sound that good don’t laugh.” “I would never! And I’m sure your great.” He clears his throat and strums a few notes to warm up. Then he starts to play the first note. Already I love how he plays the guitar his fingers just pluck the strings with so much care and precision. Its beautiful. Then he breaths in and sings the first note. Step one you say we need to talk she walks.  I immediately knew what song it was. How to save a life by the Fray, it’s my favorite song. I am the biggest The Fray fan and I even think that Harry sings it better than the original. That’s saying a lot. He finishes the song How to save a Life.  I couldn’t do anything but sit there with my jaw open. He waves his hand in front of my face “Arley? Arley?” I snap out of my trance. “Harry! You are AMAZING! YOU HAVVVVEEE TO GO ON THE X-FACTOR!!! Your voice is beautiful.” I lean over and hug him. “Thank you Arley it means so much coming from you.” I squeeze him tighter. “Arley I have one last thing to ask you.” I nod encouraging him to proceed. “Well audition day is on Saturday and if you want to, you don’t have to, but I would really like if you came with me.” He says and looks down as if nervous that I would say no. “Oh Harry! Really you want me to come? Are you sure?” “Of course I am sure you are my best friend in the whole world. Please?” “Oh Harry OF COURSE ILL GO WITH YOU!!” I say and grab him into a hug and squeal. “Thank You Arley. I’m glad that I have a friend like you that I can go to for anything. You’re amazing. Hey you wanna go tot the park and walk around for a bit? It’s a nice day out.” He says trying to sell me on the idea even though I would anyways. “Sure why not.” I say and jump up. “Wait are you going to need a jacket it’s nice but also chilly.” “Oh yeah that would be great.” He goes into his closet and pulls out a purple Jack Wills sweatshirt. “Here you go. Its my favorite one by the way.” “Oo I feel special. Thank you.” I say. I pull his over my head and it is a little bit cause it goes below my butt. What ever its comfortable and warm. That’s all that matters. “You ready?” He asks about to head out the door. “Yupp leggo!” we go down stairs. “MOM WERE GOING TO THE PARK BE BACK IN A WHILE.” “OKAY.” We walk out of the house and make our way to the park.
