Chapter 13

January 18, 2019

Skylar's POV:

I'm sat on the couch watching marvel movies with Harry. Well I was watching them with him but now he's pacing around the house like a mad man. I paused the movie because we never continue a movie we started together if the other isn't present. It's a rule. Keeps our friendship grounded. Really it's just cause it would piss the other person off if we finished a movie without each other.

"I'll get it all figured out. Calm down we have plenty of time. Are you yelling at me? I gotta go Sky uh fell down the stairs bye." Harry looks at me raising his hands up with a shrug.

"Fell down the stairs really? What are you 12?" I say raising an eyebrow. Harry tucks his phone back into his pocket before entering the kitchen.

"I blanked okay give me credit." He speaks while looking into the fridge.

"Mitch?" I ask with a smile.

"Yes, Mitch." He says pulling strawberries out of the fridge.

"What's got his panties in a twist today?" I ask making myself laugh. Ah man I'm too good. Harry smiles at me before he carry's on the conversation.

"Just music stuff. We have plenty of time to get stuff written and figured out. I can't write with no ideas. I'm chillin, everything is gonna be fine." He says acting all cool. I can't help but laugh at him. Harry and I continue talking until the door flies open and Niall storms right on in.

"Who was on the phone?" Niall asks loudly making Harry look over with a weird look on his face. I smirk knowing exactly what he is talking about. 

"What do u mean?" I ask enjoying this very much.

"The freakin phone before he dies it had to be Daisy right? She had to be calling to see if she can see him to confess her love for him right? One of the best classic novels my ass. How the hell do they just leave you like that, and I'm supposed to pretend it's okay? I AM NOT OKAY RIGHT NOW SKYLAR I NEED TO KNOW IF IT WAS DAISY!" Niall rambles on and I just sit and smile. Harry walks into the living room with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to the world of The Great Gatsby." Harry says sitting down on the couch.

"Wait" Harry says giving Niall a weird look. I know what Harry is thinking because I'm thinking the same thing. We both give Niall the stare down and I see him gulp.

"You read the whole book?" I ask standing up and walking over to him.

"Yes, start to finish." He says reaching the book out towards me. I take the book from him and flip through the pages to get to the correct place.

"Niall, if you read the book, you'd know that Daisy never called." I say running my fingers along the lines in the book.

"No telephone message arrived, but the butler went without his sleep and waited for it until four o'clock, until long after there was any one to give it to if it came." I begin reading from the book. Harry is now standing beside me taking the book and flipping through more pages with a smile on his face.

"I called up Daisy half an hour after we found him, called her instinctively and without hesitation. But she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and taken baggage with them." Harry reads from chapter 9.

"She never answered the phone." Harry says flipping through more pages. Niall is rocking back and forth as Harry and I read from the book.

"When the phone rang that afternoon and Long Distance said Chicago was calling I thought this would be Daisy at last. But the connection came through as a man's voice, very thin and far away." Harry reads before closing the book. We both stare at Niall knowing damn well he didn't read the book.
