my cousins band ↠ c.h

Chapter 17.

The air was crisp and cold against my bare legs, im so thankful i wore this coat. 'What happened back there?', Harry asks, 'You dont want to know', i reply, 'Scarlett', he stands infront of me, 'I care about you, i want to know what happened', he says sternly, i can see flashing lights in the distance, why do they try and get long-range photos in the dark? Pretty stupid if you ask me, 'Is there anywhere we can go? Thats private', i say and point to the paparazzi, 'Yes, come with me', Harry leads me through the park and down to a beach, 'Harry where are we go-', he covers my mouth with his hand, 'Just follow me', he says.

He lead me into a forrest near the beach, why is there a forrest near a beach anyway? Oh god is he actually a kidnapper plotting my death?! 'Harry', i whine, 'We're nearly there', he replies, we're on a concrete walkway, in the middle of a forrest, at night time, yep this is 100% safe.

After walking for about 10 minutes we end up in a park surrounded by the forrest, i can hear the traffic on the other side of the mass amount of trees, but i cant see a single piece of light, 'Where are we?', i ask, 'My mum used to bring me here to play soccer when i was younger, it's so cut off from the world and beautiful', he says, he's looking up at the sky full of stars and it's a picture perfect moment, his jawline is amazingly structured and his hands are hidden in his coat.

He walks over to a bench and pats the empty space next to him, i take a seat and glance up at the star filled sky, 'Believe or not, theres only a few places in Australia where you get skies like these', i tell him, 'Really? i would of thought you could see them everywhere', 'You can see alot of stars wherever you go, but in the cities you cant see the little sattelite that circles the earth every so often, you cant see alot of things really. I went on a camp once in the middle of nowhere and they had a guy come in and tell us all about the stars, he pointed out so many things that we could only see on that camp, i try and find some of the stars at home, but it never works. Too many lights, but on this camp there was nothing, no power lines or telephone cables, no street lights, no lights at all actually. All we had was a fire to light up the camp, it was amazing though', i look over to Harry and he's staring right at me, 'You're beautiful, you know?', he says to me, i smile and am glad that its night time so he cant see my cheeks going red, 'No seriously, the way you are so interested in everything you talk about is astonishing, that whole speech just then was the best speech ill ever see in my life. You dont talk about most topics like other people do, you're so interested in everything you talk about and i've never seen anyone talk like that', just when im about to reply my phone rings, the name 'Calum💘' pops up on the screen but i just turn off my ringer and put my phone back in my pocket.

'You didnt tell me what happened back at the hotel', he tells me, 'Oh yeah, um', i start, 'Well, ive wanted to go to college and study either music or law, or maybe even both, since i was about 8 years old, it started after my mother passed away', 'Your mother passed away?', Harry cuts me off, 'Yeah, she was in a car accident, please dont say your sorry, its not your fault and im fine', Harry nods, 'Continue', he says, he's so understanding.

'Well, she went to college with her best friend, her friend studied Architecture and my mum studied Politics, but when she left college she realised she wasnt about that life and became an interior designer, and after she told me about that i always wanted to go to college and i wanted to become a lawyer. Anyway, today i was researching different colleges that will give me the degrees i need, but now i only want to study Music but im going to take Law anyway. Anyway, Calum walked in and saw the colleges i had written down and we had a talk about it and then he went to Luke's before we were supposed to go for dinner, i got ready and walked down to Luke's door and i was about to knock but i heard Calum talking so i snooped for a bit to see what he was talking about and i heard him saying that i wouldnt get accepted to any colleges and that even if i did id get kicked out because of the paparazzi sneaking on campus to try get photos of me just because im his girlfriend', 'Wait, you and Calum are dating?', he asks, 'Oh um yeah', i reply, 'But you kissed me back the other day in the elevator?', 'I know', 'Do you regret it?', 'I cant answer that', its true, i cant. I dont regret because it felt great but i do regret it because i have Calum.
