I had no intention of forgiving him at first. I'm not even sure why I did. Maybe a small part of me still wished he was a decent person.
After going back and forth with Harry for 2 weeks I was strangely comfortable with him. I wasn't the smiling fool I was when I first saw him backstage.
Sitting back in the car I quickly put on my seat belt remembering how Harry drives. He turns on the radio and prepares to pull into traffic.
"...tonight let's get some, & live while we're young," One Direction blares from the radio. I giggle as he sighs and turns the channel.
" Why'd you turn it off?"
" I'm not in the mood for One Direction songs," he says pulling off.
" I'm always in the mood for 1D," I say immediately regretting it. Harry has such a dirty immature mind. "You are so annoying."
" So are you. Annoying and stubborn. I thought I was gonna have to get a plane to right your name in the sky."
" Or name a star after me."
" A Walk to Remember huh?"
" You're such a chick flick lover."
" They have cool soundtracks. Remember welcome to the planet..." he begins to sing and I join in.
"Welcome to existence..." I sound horrible but of course Harry sounds like an angel. By the time we reach the chorus we're both screaming at the top of our lungs. I start choking off of my own spit and Harry reaches across to pat my back with one hand remaining on the steering wheel.
" Are you alright?" he stifles a laugh as I giggle and choke.
" It's not funny!"
" Cor you're the one laughing, I'm just...smirking."
" That's like one step up from smirking."
" What grinning?"
" More like chuckling. Anyway, where are we going?" I ask again catching my breath.
" To watch the stars that will one day be named after you."
HARRY
" Harry Potter or Twilight?" she asks as we lay back on the hood of the car.
We've been sitting out here for nearly two hours watching the stars and I couldn't remember the last time I had such a relaxing night. This place looked like it was a make out spot overlooking the busy city of Los Angeles, but tonight it was just us up here.
" Ehh neither."
" Why not?" she asks not taking her eyes off of the stars.
" Harry Pothead bores me and Twilight doesn't make sense."
" It makes perfect sense."
" Didn't they have a baby or some crap like that? How is that even possible if he's a member of the undead. His cells are dead and blood shouldn't even be pumping. If his blood isn't pumping how can he get a hard on?"
" Omgosh Harry you're looking too deep into it."
" Yea and that's not his baby," I say causing her to laugh.
"What if we saw a shooting star tonight?" she asks.
" What if we did?"
" What would you wish for?"
" I'd wish to become like the guy you wrote about in your letter," I say as she finally looks at me. "I guess the rules say if I tell you my wish it won't work."
" Rules scmules," she says.

I hoped it would stay like this between Harry and I. It seemed like we were actually building a friendship.
On the ride back to April's we listened to classic rock. " Listen," he said breaking the silence, "we have to fly to New York for a couple for a press conference wrapping up this tour. When I get back you wanna do something?" he asks adjusting his beanie.
" Yea, that'd be fun," I answer as we pull up in April's driveway.
"Cool. I uh, I have something for you," he says reaching in the backseat and handing me a black box with a ribbon on it.
"Harry--"
"Don't open it until you get in the house, okay?"
" Yea sure, um thank you."
We exit the car and he walks me to the front door. "So I'll see you in a few days?" he asks with his hands in his pants pockets?
" You will."
" Alright, sleep well Cor," he says hugging me again. His hugs are tight and it's hard peeling myself away from him, but I have to.
" You too, get home safely."
" Will do," he says walking off as I enter the house.
Waving at Zack who sat on the couch I run upstairs to April's room desperate to see what's in the box. It's the latest iPhone and it's brand new. What the? Attached is a note that reads:
Text you later...
