New in town

Love will remember

"So do you really think he's serious about this?" Harry asks as he makes the turn to get to my house.

"I really do.. I mean yeah, it's weird seeing him like this, but that's why I do believe him. I have never seen him so genuine and nice. I think he's really trying"

"Maybe you should invite him to the party tomorrow?"

"Do I need to get my ears checked? Did you just say we should invite Ethan over to my house?" I joke, but I really am surprised.

"I just think that if he's trying, we should give him a chance. And if it's at your house then we have the upper hand if anything goes down" he laughs.

"Well then I'll text him" I say before pulling out my phone. Maybe I should change his contact name in my phone from Douche Bag back to his real name....

I'm having people over tomorrow, you are welcome to join us if you want... If you still plan on being the person I talked to today.

Once we get back to my house, change into some comfortable clothes and snuggle up to watch a movie, I get a text back from Ethan.

I'll be there. thanks for inviting me

I ignore the text because I don't feel like carrying on a conversation. I'm so tired that I fall asleep five minutes into the movie.

****

"Shit!" I'm awoken by Harry's voice.

"What?"

"Sorry, I'm watching Paranormal Activity" He smiles.

"Are you scared Harry Styles, quarterback of the football team?" I tease.

"No! I'm just tired, we should go upstairs" He smiles and we do just that.

"That's weird, my mom called me? It's five in the morning there"

I curiously redial her number to see why she called. What could that woman possibly want so early in the morning!

"Hey mom, sorry I was sleeping when you called"

"That's alright, I just thought you and Harry would be up"

"Well we are now, so what's up?"

"Bad news, your dad just found out he has a game on Christmas Day, so we won't be able to come home for your break. Do you want to come with us to Minnesota where his game is? Or you can just stay with grandma, you know she would love that!" She says and I groan over the phone.

"He never has games on Christmas!"

"I know, but I guess that's how the schedule worked out this year... So what do you want to do? I'm booking a flight now so I need to know"

"Well I don't really want to go to Minnesota, it's so cold there... But I don't want tonot spend Christmas with you guys!"

"It's fun in Minnesota! They have the Mall of America and... umm the Mall of America!" She laughs. "Okay, I know it's not the most fun place and it wouldn't be the same having Christmas in a hotel room, so I understand if you just want to stay home with grandma. We can do a late celebration when your dad has some time off?"

"I'll stay.." I decide.

"Okay, I'm sorry sweetie, I know it's not ideal" she says.

"That's okay, but I'm super tired and it's only two in the morning here so I'm going to bed!"

"Oh I totally forgot about that! Sorry babe! I'll talk to you tomorrow, I love you and dad says he loves you too! And tell Harry we say hi!"

"I will, Love you too! Bye"
