Chapter 20

Harry’s POV

“I’m not here right now. Please leave a message after the beep.”

“Hey Harry. It’s me. Please pick up.” Bree’s voice bounced off the walls of my room. I could already imagine her running a hand through her hair in frustration, like she always does when she’s worried, stressed or frustrated. “Just give me a chance to explain. I’m really sorry. Call me when you get this.” I heard her sigh before the line ended.

I sat on my bed, thinking about what happened. It came as a shock to me, really.

When I looked at the clock, it was already a quarter to twelve. I had to find Bree and kiss her exactly on midnight so I said goodbye to Ashley Tisdale and told her I would see her later. I wove my way through the crowd in search of my girlfriend. When I couldn’t find her, I walked up to Taylor, who was near the bar. She was talking to someone and was looking very bored. She was all too happy to be excused from her conversation when I asked her about Bree.

“Hey, Taylor.” I greeted and said, “Excuse us for a while.” To the person she was talking to. Taylor was all too happy instantly brightened when I pulled her out of the conversation.

“Hey, Haz! What’s up?” She asked me, I could tell she was a bit dizzy since she almost lost her balance, probably from the alcohol.

“Have you seen Bree? I got to find her.” I said, stealing a glance at the clock that was next to the TV that had live footage of Times Square.

“For the midnight kiss?” She asked and I nodded. “I think I saw her go up to the second floor.” Taylor said, still smiling brightly.

“Hey, Taylor! I’ve got someone you have to meet.” Niall said, pulling Taylor’s arm.

“Ok, Nialler. I’ll be there in a sec.” She said and turned to face me again. “Bye, Harry. Have an awesome New Year!” She said goodbye but not before planting a quick, kiss on my cheek. I stood there in shock as I watched Niall pull her away. Did she just kiss me? Her best friend’s boyfriend? That’s allowed right? It’s like a best friend gesture. Yeah, right.

I shook off the initial shock and continued my search for Bree. I glanced at the clock again, five minutes until twelve. I started up the stairs eager to find Bree. Halfway up, Victoria Justice stopped me.

“Harry! Great party!” She said to me, with a fizzy drink in her hand. I nodded and made a move to step aside her and move on but she stepped in my way. It took everything in me not to shoot her a glare or at least an annoyed look. “It’s almost as great as Taylor Swift’s Christmas party.”

“Thanks, Victoria but I really have to be somewhere.” I said and tried to move around her but she blocked my way again.

“What the rush, Harry?” She asked, batting her eyelashes at me. “Aren’t you happy to be here with me?” She pouted as she twirled her hair with her finger.

I sighed in frustration and calmly said, “I am but I seriously need to be somewhere.” I went around her in a hurry and almost knocked her down in the process. It was a good thing that Louis and Zayn were there to catch her.

“We got this, mate.” Zayn said, helping Victoria stand up. “We’ll bring her back to her friends.”

“Yeah, Haz. Go to wherever it was you were going.” Louis said as he smiled at me.
