Just friends

Chapter 18- Just Need To Let Go

Harper

FLASHBACK**

"WHAT?? YOU KISSED HIM?? DID YOU AT LEAST GET HIS NUMBER??" Alex screams asking me.

"No sadly, I think it was his friend that walked in on us and so he ran out before I had the chance to get his number." I explain.

I only remember the fact that he was there for me and I kissed him. I mean it was a good kiss, like a reallyyyy good kiss. But I didn't get his number but I really want to find him. Something was different about him, I don't know even in that short amount of time I felt.. safe.. comforted.

"Well we are going to find him I promise you that. Did you get his name maybe some sort of detail that could give you more info on who he is?" Alex questions.

"No ugh I can't remember I wish I didn't get so drunk that night but at the same time if I didn't I wouldn't have walked into a bathroom to pee not caring that some random guy is inside." I groan.

I have to find him.

6 months later...

I gave up about 3 months into looking. I mean it was a kiss but there was no point in looking because I was never going to find him. I did however meet someone by the end of looking for him. Weird scenario but he was sweet and god was he cute.

My mind still didn't leave the boy in the bathroom months after I met Matt, that's his name. But I needed to just drop it, I'm in college now and shouldn't spend it looking for some guy because now Matt walked into my life and he's amazing.

We started dating a few weeks ago.

Today I plan to meet his friends. He talks about them nonstop, especially his friend Tristan. I guess they are childhood best friends but I'm excited to meet them all, they seem to mean a lot to him.

END OF FLASHBACK**

Mid February, two weeks after Harper came back to Faber....

"Fine I'll do it." I give into Clay's pleads.

"WAIT REALLY?" Clay's face lights up.

"Yeah but you better have a song made up because the competition is in the beginning of May. It's the middle of February." I state and he nods.

"Took you long enough! Thought you would never say yes since the last time I brought it up to you. But we will have plenty of time for you to practice, you won't even need it because you have an amazing voice Harper. You won't regret this!!" Clay proceeds to go on and on about the Dreamworld competition and I just shake my head.

Problem is.. I need money. Like a lot more than what I make at my decent pay job. Landon and his girlfriend plan to go to Europe this summer and bought me a ticket. Wonderful surprise but I don't want to hang onto them the entire trip so I plan to travel to Greece as well a week before they plan to leave.

I just need to get out of here after school ends but I need to save money for the trip and.. buy myself a ticket to Greece as well. It's stupid but I have always wanted to travel and this money will hold me over for awhile so when I come back to Faber I don't immediately have to jump back on the work train.

Clay and I end our session and he leaves my dorm.

"I'm surprised he hasn't made a move on you. I mean he's your 'music tutor' and all and you're hot so it kind of baffles me." Alex says.

"Well he has a girlfriend but I appreciate you trying to play matchmaker here like you always do." I snap and walk up to my door to shut it until Alex pushed her way in.
