Life Goes On (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 22

My eyes fling open as soon as I hear my phone vibrating on my nightstand. How long was it ringing for? The room is slightly darker but definitely not to the point where I can't see anything. What time is it? When I reach over to grab my phone, realization hits me.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

Sia's name flashes across the screen, causing me to start panicking. How long was I asleep for?

"Hello" I quickly say while grabbing my purse off the bed, knowing that I have to be out of here within the next minute. It's 6:55 and I was suppose to be there at six. I hope they aren't pissed off...

"Where are you?" Leah says in a loud whisper. She is definitely pissed off.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep.. I'm coming now" I say and check my appearance in the mirror just in case it may have smudged from sleeping.

"Okay hurry" she says sharply

"Okay I'll see you soon, bye" I say and throw my uncharged phone in my purse and scramble out of my dorm. I can't believe I over slept and on top of that, I didn't charge my phone.

As soon as I unlock my car door, I rush inside and pull out of the parking lot. I don't think the restaurant is too far so it shouldn't take long to get there. It was a terrible idea to take a nap without setting my alarm. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to fall asleep but I was completely wrong. I'm just glad that my appearance is still intact after laying on it. Even if I did ruin my makeup by sleeping, I still wouldn't have bothered to fix it because I had no time at all.

After about ten minutes later, I pull up into the parking lot of Olive Garden. As soon as I enter the restaurant, I'm greeted by a young man who looks like he is in his early twenties.

"Is it just you today?" He asks while pulling out menus. It is way too crowded in here.

"No, two girls are already in here I think the reservation is under the name Leah" I say and he scans the list to find the name.

"Ahh here it is, come right this way" he says and I follow behind, snaking my way through the crowd of people. As soon as I approach the table, Sia smiles and stands to hug me.

"Sorry I'm late" I say while hugging her back.

"It's okay. we were here for a while but we only ordered appetizers because we wanted to wait for you" she says while I take a seat across from her and Leah. I feel so bad they had to wait on me.

"What would you ladies like to eat?" The waiter asks while making eye contact with me, causing me to look away. It's a habit.

"Do you want us to order you some more appetizers?" Leah asks when she notices me looking down at the table. She probably thought I was looking for food but I was actually avoiding the waiter's gaze.

"I'm starving but I think I'll just order my actual plate" I say and she nods.

After Sia and Leah both order different spaghetti dishes, I finally decide on fettuccine Alfredo. Once all of us have ordered, the waiter disappears to place our orders into the system.

"You look amazing" I say to Sia who looks absolutely beautiful wearing a lilac colored dress. Her dark brown hair is curled into loose waves that fall perfectly on the side of her face.

"Thank you" she says and smiles.

"Can we talk about how cute you look though?" Leah asks as she eyes my outfit. "Only you can manage to look pretty when you just wake up" she says and Sia nods as if agreeing with her.

"Thank you" I say with a smile. "Sorry to disappoint you but I actually got ready before hand" I say and they giggle.

"So Kira have you found out who you're going to paint?" Leah asks and I immediately feel like ripping my hair out because of the reminder.
