Little Bird Part 7

Ed P.O.V.

The days seemed to go by quickly. It was hard to realize we had already been here for a week. Luckily, the storm had stopped. We had another week left here. Today, Louis Liam and Zayn were going to come out and stay here until we left. They claimed they missed the boys too much to be separated any longer. Niall and Blair had been irrespirable for the past few days.  They finally expressed their interest in each other, and had been dating since. Niall often referred to her as his princess. It was actually kind of cute, they often exchanged kisses, and I had never seen Niall so happy before.

Hadley told me about her and Harry. My feelings on this matter seemed to be undecided. They hadn’t been serious or anything, they occasionally hang out and I knew that they were kissing. Around us they didn’t kiss though, and I was unsure if they were dating. I am glad I had never seen them kiss, I think that if I did it would hurt. I don’t know why but when she told me about them I had this feeling deep in my pit, one that I almost recognized as jealousy. Why I would be jealous, I have no idea. Hadley and I have never, and aren’t dating. I tried to play it off as my over protectiveness, but the thing that scared me was the fact that I don’t think that is what it was.

Hadley’s presence was still next to me as my sleep took its course and I woke up. I rolled over to face her, I thought I would find her sound asleep next to me, instead she was propped up on her elbow, her blue eyes looking at me as she smiled. Her hair was messy and fell around her face, but she was still shocked me with her beauty.

“Morning sleepy head.” She giggled pressing a kiss on my cheek. I propped myself on my elbow so I could look her in the eyes, a smile on my face.

“Morning.” I grinned. “What do you want to do today?” I wondered softly. Her face fell, and her gaze left mine.

“Well actually, I think that Harry, he wanted to take me on a real date later tonight before the boys get here.” She said, not looking in my eyes. Her words upset me slightly, Hadley was my best friend, and here goes another day I can’t spend with her. I just tried to accept the fact that it was okay because only in one week she would come with me. I couldn’t help but show the disappointment on my face as Hadley looked back up to me. “It is okay Ed, I just only get to spend another week with him, and I want to spend a little time with him, I mean soon it will just be me and you.” She smiled and brought her hand up to touch my face.

“I’m sorry.” I said and grabbed her hand before it touched my face, I held it softly. “I think I am going to go back to sleep.” I didn’t know the words I was saying before they spilled out of my mouth. I dropped Hadley’s hand and rolled over. I didn’t want to hurt her, but I couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Don’t be like this.” She said trying to grab me to roll me back over, but her strength was small. “Ed please.” She begged, I could hear how upset she was in the tone of her voice, but even that didn’t make me roll back over to face her. “I love you.” She said before getting up and leaving my room.

Hadley P.O.V.

The time had come when Harry was going to take me on my date. Louis, Liam and Zayn were going to be dropped off at the beach at about 10 tonight, so Harry and I were going to ride with them back on the boat, so we left at 8:00 p.m.

I felt bad that I was doing this to Ed. He came out of his room around lunch time and mumbled a ‘sorry’ in my ear before pretending like none of it happened. Even though he apologized, I could still see the pain in his eyes as he laughed with the boys.

I couldn’t stop thinking about him as Harry helped me on the boat, and we started driving. I spaced out to the water.

“You okay? You seem sort of distant.” Harry said making me snap back to reality.
