Storm Chaser

Six

I never understood what love was truly like, but I felt it for the first time looking in your eyes...

________________________________

I should have never gotten into Harry's car.

I knew something wrong was going to happen. And it did.

"Harry you need to call for help!" I shouted to him from inside the car.

"I know, I'm ringing the insurance company now!" He replied pulling out his phone.

I quietly sat inside the car waiting for help to arrive. I was so confused and I just wished that I could've been back at my apartment watching some romance movie.

"Do you have any idea of what's wrong with it?" I asked Harry as he got off his phone.

"No idea, they'll be here in like 20 minutes"

"Good one Harry, what should we do?" I asked him as I got out of the car.

Harry quietly shrugged and looked around, "Let's go get some ice cream?!" He said pointing towards a little diner.

"Okay."

We silently walked towards the diner where I proceeded to get a double scoop consisting of Cookies & Cream and Rainbow.

"Such a child" Harry said taking a sample from my ice-cream.

"Don't eat my ice-cream!" I said flicking his arm away.

"I bought it" Harry replied with his mischievous smirk.

"I don't care, I wanted it!" I exclaimed walking out the diner.

We both sat quietly on the curb side eating our ice-cream, Harry had ordered Vanilla.

"I'm going to call my mum" Harry said as he placed down his ice-cream and pulled out his phone.

I could hear the phone ringing before Harry chucked the phone into my lap.

"What the hell?!" I shouted at Harry picking up the phone.

"I don't know what to say, you say it!"

"But Harry I can't ju-" I replied before I heard someone speak on the phone.

I glared at Harry pulling the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Hey Har- oh Hi... Um" The lady on the phone replied, I'm assuming it was his mum.

"Hey this is Stella, Harry's uh... neighbour. Um... Harry doesn't know what to say to you but basically I'll just give it to you straight but Um... The car has broken down and Harry doesn't know what's wrong with it, we've rang insurance and they're on the way but right now we're eating ice cream. How's it going?" I said into the phone making the situation more awkward.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with the car. It's brand new. Harry got it last week!" Harry's mum replied.

"Well we don't know um... We'll go check the car again. Bye!" I said before hanging up. Just in time the insurance company pulled up as well. Harry and I slowly walked over to where they were and I left Harry to do the talking.

"We just ran out of fuel." Harry said walking over to me.

"What?! Fuel?! Are you serious?! How did you run out of fuel?! Do you even check?!"

"I don't know how we ran out of fuel Stel. I'm forgetful like a normal person." Harry replied looking down to the ground.

He isn't a normal person. Sometimes, I really question him.

"They've put some petrol in the car, we should be good to go. I just need to stop to put more in at a gas station soon." Harry said as we both got into the car.

"Did it cost anything?!"

Does he not care about wasting money on stupid things like running out of fuel!?

"Probably. I don't know, it'll get charged to my account." Harry replied before pulling out.

He really doesn't care.

"Okay."

And before we knew it, we were on the journey to meet his parents. Again.
