Carmen's Pov.

I sat at the table with my breakfast in front of me. I poked at my eggs and brought it to my mouth, waiting for Harry to return. I could hear voices but couldn't decipher what was being said. A few seconds later Harry came back with somebody dead on his heels.

Niall.

"Stay put, I'll be back." Harry said and walked into a room, pulling out a hoodie and putting it on.

"Woof." I muttered and Harry glared at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, confused. One minute he was perfectly fine, or at least so I assumed. I looked at Niall and he gave me a small smile and a wink. I force a smile to return to him and watched them ad they left the kitchen. The front door slammed shut and I let my shoulders slump.

I finished off my eggs and bacon and began washing the dishes. When I finished, I wiped down the stove and counter until I was satisfied. I pushed in my chair and wiped my wet hands on my pants.

I walked out of the kitchen, wanting to look around since Harry wasn't around. I enter what appeared to be the living room. I walked around the room until I got to his movies. I ran my fingers over them, passing over Pacific Rim, Fast And Furious, and RED. I continued until one movie caught my eye.

Les Misérables.

I took it off the shelf and looked it over. It was the one were Liam Neeson played Jean Valjean and I smirked as I pictured Harry watching this. He doesn't seem like the type to watch movies like this. I put the movie back on it's shelf and continued to look through them when my phone rang in my pocket.

I jumped at the sound. I was so used to having my phone on vibrate, not on ring. I pulled out my phone and frown at the cracked screen before answering.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, are you in class?" Terence asked and I bit my bottom lip.

"No, actually I'm at a friend's house but I'll be back soon." I lied slightly to him and prayed he didn't ask who was the friend or why I wasn't in school.

"Oh okay." Terence asked and I exhaled the breath I was holding. "How was your night then?"

Terrible, absolutely dreadful.

"Fine." I lied again. "How was yours?" I sat down on the couch and pulled my knees to my chest.

"It was great." He said and I could tell he was smiling. "I really owe you one for letting me hang out with my friend. You really pulled through for me."

"Yeah you do." I joked, twirling a piece of my hair. "So are you and this girl dating now or...?"

"Uh, it's complicated." He said and I rolled my eyes. What I had with Harry is complicated. Terence didn't know the definition of complicated.

"Sure." I said. "So what's this lucky girl's name?"

"Why are you so curious?" Terence laughed.

"Because you my brother and I helped you out." I remind him, but the other voice in my head said "so I can stalk her on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter."
