running made me realize..

Chapter 25

February 12, 2019

Skylar's POV:

I woke up this morning feeling good until Harry barged into my room. Telling me I needed to get up and start enjoying my days outside instead of inside my bedroom.

He laid on my bed with me for a while just talking. It helps me wake up, just listening to him talk about anything and everything.

He told me to get up and I simply shook my head no. He stood from my bed, gripped onto the blanket and pulled it off of me. I instantly got chills from the cool air but he didn't stop there. He grabbed onto my ankles and told me that if I didn't get up, he was dragging me out of bed.

I rolled my eyes figuring he was bluffing, but oh was I wrong. He pulled my legs to the side and pulled me out of bed. I landed on my ass with a loud thump. He stood above me and flipped his finger up, motioning for me to stand.

Harry and I haven't really talked about his panic attack or anything Stella related. I figured if he wanted to talk more he would tell me. As the day gets closer, I know we will have to talk about it eventually.

Once I was finally up he left my room. I slowly got ready for what he wanted to do.

The sunlight beams on my skin as I run. The sweat glistens on my skin. I'm practically heaving out of breath. Harry thought running would be a great idea to distract our minds and for some reason I came. I stop behind Harry placing my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath.

"Can you slow down!" I breathe out. Harry comes to a stop and turns to look at me.

"Skylar, we've only been running for 5 minutes." He chuckles walking towards me. He hands me his water bottle and I gladly take it.

"And that's too much." I groan out. How do people do this? Harry runs all the time. Props to him because my asthma could never. My asthma definitely isn't as bad as it was when I was child. If Harry can run with asthma, I should be able to right? I'm definitely not in shape for this.

"Skylar that's my water too!" He grabs onto the bottle pulling it down from my mouth.

"Let's go" he lightly hits my back to get me going again.

Harry keeps letting me have brakes but I feel like he's getting annoyed waiting on me. He knew what he was getting into when he had me come. I see McDonald's off in the distance and think how great some fries would be right now.

"Oo great idea." I raise my hand while we walk next to each other. He raises an eyebrow at me and I carry on with my point.

"I'll stay at McDonald's, you finish your run and pick me up on the way back." I clap my hands together smiling at him.

"Ooo no." He says running again.

I catch up to him breathing heavily through my nose. Honestly, if I passed out right now, I wouldn't mind. We pass people walking in the street. Some look happy, some look sad. Watching people reminds me of the park with Niall. I instantly feel guilty for the way I treated him. I start to pick up speed.

What if he hates me? I know I hurt his feelings, I saw it on his face. My heart shatters thinking about it. Niall not knowing is me protecting Stella. I was never someone to unload my problems onto someone else. Not with family, friends, ex's. Any big inconvenience in my life has stayed to myself with the exception of two people. Stella and Harry. I talk to Kiara but she doesn't know everything. I guess it's a fear I have? Fully letting someone in and then them leaving. I've lost a lot of people.
