Fool's Gold

Chapter 21

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. Nick was already awake and dressed,
"How long have you been up?" I said surprised that he was ready to walk out the door,
"Two hours. I couldn't sleep. I feel bad about last night," Nick replied. I knew that the guilt would kick in at some stage. An idea came to my mind so Nick could get rid of the guilt before Hawaii,
"If I get ready quickly then we can drop into Harry's house on the way to the airport. You can tell him that you are sorry and that you feel guilty. You don't want to be thinking about it the whole time we are on holidays," I suggested my idea to Nick. He nodded his head in agreement. I made my way to the shower, knowing that I would have to rush to get ready. I decided to put on some black tights and one of my favourite tops that read : Bæ or nah?

Once I was ready Nick and I put our bags in the car and then started to head to Harry's house. We arrived only five minutes later,
"Do you want me to come with you?" I asked Nick. I didn't know if he would want me to or not because there was a possibility that things could've got out of hand,
"Yeah, for sure," Nick replied. We got out of the car and headed towards the front door. We knocked and there was an almost immediate answer,
"Hi, Grace and the person I hate most," Harry greeted Nick and I coldly. Nick had to make the best apology he could manage if he wanted Harry to forgive him,
"I know that last night wasn't great and I'm not asking for your forgiveness, but I would just like to say that I am truly sorry. I feel guilty about it and I don't want our friendship to end over a girl. I'm sorry that I asked Grace out when I knew that you had feelings for her too. I'm sorry for everything bad that I've ever done for you," Harry didn't tense up, instead he hugged Nick,
"It's alright mate. I know that you didn't mean it. I'm sorry that I got annoyed really easily. I was just sick of it. Friends?" Nick smiled at Harry,
"Friends," Harry and Nick seemed happy. It was great that yet another problem was resolved,
"Well you guys should get going so you can catch your plane. Have a great time guys. I'll miss you both," Harry said shaking Nick's hand and then hugging me. I was going to miss him too, to be honest. I think that everyone needs a Harry in their life. They need someone that loves them even if they don't love them back,
"See you when we get back," I said to Harry waving as Nick and I started to walk to the car. We got in and we were now on our way to the airport. I couldn't believe that we were nearly going to be on a 10 hour trip to Hawaii.
