Broken

Chapter 3

I shot up of the couch, not realizing how much my head would hurt if I did that. I looked at the giant clock on the wall, and it's half passed eight.

"Fuck!!!" I yelled. I grabbed my head in pain, and ran to the kitchen to get some more medicine. After I gulped the Orange juice and pills down, I started cleaning my house. It was a total mess; it looked like I had a bazillion parties here.

My grandparents will be here less then an hour, and there was no way I would be able to clean this whole house all by myself. I ran back to the living room and grabbed my phone off of the glass coffee table.

I texted Harry, asking him if he could come help me. He said he would be here in ten minutes, and surely he wasn't a minute late.

"Thank you so much, Harry! You're saving my life again!" I laughed, pulling him through the door. I pushed him towards the kitchen and handed him a black trash bag.

"Okay. I need you to do the downstairs, and I'll do the upstairs. if you want we can switch but we need to start!" I rush my words, probably making them sound like a different language.

"Woah, calm down! We got this!" He laughed, grabbing a bunch of paper towels off the ground. I took a deep breath, and ran upstairs. I cleaned all the trash that scattered my floor, and then shoved everything under the beds so I could vacuum.

Once that was finished, I cleaned the bathroom top to bottom, and then disposed of the black garbage bag. Right when I walked back inside from putting the trash away, I hear a loud crash in the kitchen.

I sprint down my hall and into the kitchen, seeing a broken plate on the ground and Harry. "I'm so sorry it was an accident-" he starts to say but I cut him off.

"It's okay. I do it all the time. Get me the broom please?" I asked, pointing to the closet that held all the cleaning supplies.

He hands it to me, and as I'm cleaning the glass, he goes in the living room to finish vacuuming. Once we were done, we had ten more minutes to relax before my grandparents get here. We both slump on the couch, and let out a deep breath.

"I'm a mess." I say as I look at the mirror across from us. Harry chuckles and let's out another breath.

"A hot mess." He adds on. I look at him in the eye, and playfully smack him on the shoulder. He grabs my wrist, and everything gets serious. He starts to lean in and close his eyes, before the door swung open and my grandparents walked through.

I jerked away from Harry, and ran to my grandparents. "I missed you guys so much!" I say as I give them each a tight hug. I looked around the house to make sure it's clean, and luckily it was.

"Um, darling? Who's this?" My grandmother asked, pointing towards the curly haired boy in our living room. I let out a nervous laugh and motioned for Harry to step closer.

"This is my new friend, Harry. He's new in town. He came all the way from England." I say, as Harry sticks his hand out to shake their hands. My grandfather does first, then my grandma.

"Well it's nice to meet you, Harry! Is it alright if we call you Harold? We're a bit old school," my grandma giggles to herself. Harry looks at me and smiles ear to ear.

"That's fine, whatever works for you two!" He exclaimed. We look at each other once more, before the air around us got tense.

"Okay! So I'm going to go. You guys should probably have some alone time since you haven't seen each other In a while. I'll see you later Nicki, and it was nice to meet you two." Harry says, making his way towards the door. My grandfather turned around and stopped Harry's hand from touching the doorknob.

"No no! Why don't you stay for lunch? We would love to get to know you better, Harold!" Grandpa says. Harry looks at me as if he didn't know what to say. I nodded slowly to tell him the answer.

"Um yeah. Sure that sounds like fun!" He tries to sound as excited as possible, but I could tell he was uncomfortable with it. I mouthed, 'Sorry,' before leading him into the dining room along with my grandparents.
