Emily's point of view

I woke up with a heavy arm around my waist. I turn my head and smile at Harry, who was still sleeping. He looks so peacefully, like he had nothing to worry about. I wish that was true...

I sigh deeply and carefully remove his arm from me. I slowly get up and walk into the bathroom. Thank god I woke up before Harry did, because I looked awful. I was very tired yesterday and when that happens, my eyes get weirdly swollen and stuff. It looks hideous. I turn the shower on and get out of my clothes. I huff at my exhaustion and get in the shower.

My life took an... Unexpected turn. Meeting Harry was never the thing I thought I would, but I did. I met him and I couldn't wish for anything better. He's the best person I've ever had and I don't ever want to lose him. Everyone knows we're just friends, which is good.

There are so many things holding me from telling the truth. Harry and I's future, the fans, the media but mostly, losing Harry. I know he doesn't feel the same, I'll lose him if I tell the truth. But deep down, I know I can't live like this. What if one day, he comes here with his girlfriend. Telling me how much he loves her and he wants us to be friends. What would I do then? Can I live with that?

I turn the shower off and step out, drying myself. I want to grab my underwear but I couldn't find it. Oh god I forgot my clothes.

"Oh god." I whisper to myself and wrap the towel around my body.

"Please be asleep, please be asleep." I plead silently and slowly open the bathroom door. I slightly look around the corner and sigh relieved at the sight. Harry is still sleeping.

I tip toe to my closet and get out some undergarments and clothes. I quickly walk back into the bathroom and lock the door. Thank god. I got dressed, put a bit of makeup on and brush my hair and teeth.

When I got out of the bathroom, Harry was still sleeping. He turned from his side to his stomach and his arms were spread out. I smile at him and grab my pack bag, putting all my school stuff in it. I don't want to wake him, so I write a letter.

H,

I'm at school. Sorry for not waking you, but you finally slept well. You haven't slept like this in a long time, so I let you sleep.

I know you have an interview at 2 o'clock. (Don't worry, I didn't stalk you. Demi told me.) So I set my alarm at 10 o'clock, if you aren't awake yet. Don't want to be late ;).

My dad and step mom will be gone at 9, so no worries.

So yeah... I'll see you the next time you stand in front of my house haha.

Xx Emily

Ps: when you walk out, turn the lock to the right. I locked it just in case.

I put the letter under his phone and put the alarm on, as I said. I smile one last time before I close the door and walk downstairs.

"Morning." My father smiles and my step mom looks up.

"Hello." I say back and grab a bottle of water and an apple, putting both in my bag.

"You're father has a dinner tonight but I'll be here, we eat steak." My step mom tells me and I nod.

"Is it okay if I stay a little longer on school? For a project I'm working on." I ask her and she nods, that's a miracle.

"That's okay, but don't come home too late." She warns me and I nod. Finally, I had a normal conversation with my step mom. We can have normal conversations, but most of the times is just me getting annoyed or her getting annoyed.
