Harry Styles

I rub my eyes as I keep hearing the annoying sound of my alarm.

Shit, I don't even remember at what hour I went to sleep yesterday.

I run a hand through my face, rolling onto my side—trying to hide my face from the pale light of the sun that's coming from my windows— and I grab my phone to turn it off.

I read the time and I let out a heavy sigh. I feel like someone is banging my head like it's a drum and the last thing I want right now is to go to class.

Maybe I should stay home. But the mere thought of seeing Brooke is what makes me sit up—slowly— and try to convince myself that it is a good enough reason to go to class.

Of course, it is.

I move the few strands of hair out of my eyes as I look at all the messages I have.

One from my mum, two from Blake, and one from Brooke.

I feel something spark in me as I see her name on my screen, but I still don't look at it.

I ignore my mum's text, deciding to call her later, and I open Blake's chat.

Blake: hey, I have class this afternoon

Blake: wanna have lunch at the campus?

It actually wouldn't be wrong, we haven't talked as much as we used to after all the drama, and I also have one class after lunch. I miss the conversations I used to have with Blake, I want everything to be like it was before.

Harry: sure mate

I reply, feeling somewhat better knowing that somehow I'll be doing something I was so used to doing again.

I get up from bed and stretch my back. It hurts so bad and I don't even know why.

I just want to get back to sleep as I stare at all the mess my room is in.

Papers scattered all around, reminding me that I fucking messed up like always.

I take a deep breath, trying to say to myself that it's just in the past now and that next year I'll be prepared in order to not have a panic attack again.

I walk towards my bathroom. I take a fast shower since I don't have much time and when I'm done I get dressed.

I leave my room fast, and I make myself some breakfast and some coffee.

While I'm eating, I decide to open Brooke's chat,seeing that the message is from a few hours ago.

Bry: harry, you fell asleep mid conversation last night. don't worry, you didn't miss much, just me rambling about how I learned to pick a door since you didn't stop asking haha. anyways, i hope you're feeling better. please text me when you wake up.

I stare at it with a smile on my face and an awesome feeling in my heart as I feel my fingers flutter while I type a reply.

That's the effect she has on me.

Harry: morning bry, i'm doing better for sure. we're gonna need to finish that conversation though, just because I felt asleep doesn't let you get away with that information I so much need to know.

I keep eating as I send it. I don't really want to talk about last night if I want to keep my mind stable, I just want to distract myself. Just a few seconds later, she replies.
