Dusk h.s.

Chapter 45

"What do you want?" Harry snaps impatiently as he stares at the dark haired girl.

"Nothing in particular." She replies.

"Then why are you here?"

She shrugs. "I just happened to be passing by."

"No see, you weren't just passing by. I know what you're trying to do here, and I just wanted to let you know in advance that it's not gonna work."

"We'll see."

"Yeah, and what the hell is that supposed to mean."

Gabbi laughs slightly. "Look, you may be able to convince her that you changed, but I'm not buying any of your crap. You're just gonna end up using her. Just like you use everyone!"

"You're just fucking jealous!"

"Why would I be? I'm with Ashton; a person who actually gives a shit about me."

"Good, then why don't you scurry off and go meet your little lover while I have a little private time with mine."

Gabbi eyes Harry and then me. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

As she walks away, I have a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Harry turns back to me, calmer as he traps me against the wall again.

He places a soft kiss on my lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

We walk back to class, hand in hand.

I'm glad everything's okay between us. A whole day of ignoring each other didn't set well with me.

After math is over, we part and go to separate classes.

At lunch, Harry sits down by me, followed by his clan. Louis, Liam, Zayn, Niall, Natalye, and Brynn fill the rest of our table.

"What's up, Anna?" Natalye asks as she picks at her chicken.

I shrug. "Nothin new."

"So how are you two?" Zayn asks cautiously. "I see you're not ignoring each other today."

"We're fine." Harry speaks for the both of us. "We just needed to sort through a few things."

Louis rolls his eyes and smiles. "Come on guys. I knew they'd make up. They're so in love, it's scary."

"You two haven't been dating for that long," Liam points out.

"Nope," Harry says casually, "but I still love her."

I smile. I love the fact that Harry's talking about us with his friends. He seems like the type of guy who would push me away and hide his feelings. Maybe he has changed.

By the end of the day, I'm exhausted. I almost collapse on my bed until I hear the doorbell.

"What are you doing here?" Harry walks passed me, into the living room.

"Am I not allowed to be at my girlfriend's house?" He asks.

"What about my window?"

"I wanted to try something new. I don't like it though. It's not as mysterious and exciting. It's too simple. I'm going back to the window from now on."

I laugh and roll my eyes. "Good. I like it when you crawl through my window."

He stops what he's doing and turns to me. "What did you just say?"

I immediately become shy and break eye contact. "Nothing."

"No," he walks towards me, "tell me what you said."
