I got out of my car, and walked into Starbucks. I ordered a Carmel macchiato, ordering Ellie the same and sat down, knowing She wouldn't be on time.

When Ellie finally got there, I told her I had ordered her a drink, and it was at the table. We sat down, but I was a little nervous to talk to her. I didn't want her to feel bad. She was my bestfriend, it wasn't her fault at all, she was drunk.

"So, uhm, do you remember anything from last night?" I asked her with a worry in my voice.

"Not really, all I really remember is driving back to my flat with another random." She chuckled

"Did you, you know, do the nasty?" I asked with amusement. I hadn't really had a lot of ' experience ' in that category, so I was quite uncomfortable talking about the topic.

"I don't really remember." She laughs

It made me angry to think someone would take advantage of her like that. I mean, yeah, she has brought home other guys and done ' the nasty ' but then for Harry to contact me right after?

"Well, I might as well let you know.." I began. "His name is Harry, and he got my contact out of your phone and texted me then got my address out of your address book, and he said he was going to pick me up at 7 tonight, but I just don't know what to do. " I spit out talking abnormally fast. She just looked at me in confusion. "What are you talking about?" She asked. "Well, I think he was using you to get closer to me. I definitely don't want to get closer to him though." I told her.

We sat there for a while, while I tried to explain what had happened. She really didn't remember a thing after she got to we flat, which made me a little upset.

"Well, are you gonna go out with him tonight?" She asked.

"Of course not! I just met him yesterday, and he's quite frightening." I say. "Well, he knows where you live, he obviously knows where I live, where are you gonna go?" She asks with a worry in her voice. "I'll go to Jessica's, you can come to, I don't want him to get mad that I'm not there, ruining his plans, and for him to search for you." I say sternly.

As we left Starbucks we made plans with Jessica to go to her house tonight at 5, only if we would bring ice-cream and movies.

Me ad Ellie went out separate ways, and I told her I would be at her house at 4:30 so we could drive together to Jessica's.

**********************************

It was nearly 4pm and I had to leave in 15minutes to Ellie's house.

I put on some make-up, put my shoes on,grabbed my keys and the ice-cream, and walked to my car making sure to lock my door on the way out.

When I got to Ellie's house she was still putting her makeup on, running late like usual. She put her shoes on and grabbed her bag as we left a little late toward Jessica's house.

As we pulled into Jessica's driveway, Ellie grabbed the movies, and I grabbed my ice-cream. We knocked on the door and Jessica answered opening to door telling us to come inside as it was freezing out.

We watched The Notebook, Dear John, and 21 Jump Street, before we decided that was enough movies for the night. After we finished our ice-cream, I tried to explain to Jessica what was going on.

"What the hell Becca!" She screams

I knew she was going to overreact when I told her, we had been friends since we were in 3rd grade, and she was always protective of me, as we have been through a lot.

"I know, I know. It's quite crazy, and that's why I'm here." I reply trying to calm her. "Well, I just don't want you to get hurt, or anything." She says with a sad look in her eyes. We keep talking about ' girl ' things, mostly about Harry and how attractive he was.

***********************************

It was 8pm, and Harry hadn't called, texted, or anything. It eased my feelings. I hope he was just drunk that night and had forgotten everything. I hope. Till, my phone began to buzz, I excused myself from the ' girl talk ' and proceeded outside.

" Hello? " I answered.

"Hello, Beautiful" A raspy voice replied back.

Shit. I had no idea what to say! So I hung up quickly and started to get very scared. I walked back into the house. "Who was that?" Jessica asked.

"Oh, just my mom, checking how I was doing." I lied. I couldn't tell them. They would blow this whole thing way out of proportion. My phone began to buzz interrupting my thoughts, this time it was a text.

From: Unknown number

"I like this game ;)

- Harry.xx"

The text sent shrills through my body.

"What's the matter?" I hear Ellie say. "Nothing, just a bit cold." I reply back. I was never a good lier.

As Ellie and Jessica kept talking, all I could think about was Harry. He was always quite the lades man, but why did he want me? He usually went for the ' sexy ' girls, and trust me, I was nowhere near that. I have class, I'm not slutty, at all. I have had relationships, nothing to serious though.

As the night went on, I was the only one who sated awake past 1am. I sat there reading the text over, and over again. " I like this game " . What game? Did he not realize I was trying to get away from him? Or is this what he wanted?

************************************

The next morning I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon. Yum. Boy, was I hungry. I got up and walked to the kitchen to see Jessica cooking, Ellie was still passed out on the couch.

"Morning!" I say as as a yawn creeps out of my mouth.

"Good morning, uhm breakfast is almost done, just go sit at the table ill bring it to you in just a moment." She replies back.

"Okay." I was with big eyes, just waiting till I can devour into the food.

I go and sit down at the dining room table. My phone vibrates.

From: Unknown number

" Good morning beautiful.

- Harry.xx "

I snarled, as Jessica brought out a plate of food and set it in front of my face. As I began to eat, Ellie woke up rubbing her eyes, and getting up to the smell of breakfast. She got a plate, and sat across the table from me.

I finished, and decided on going to get dressed. I told the girls I was going to wash up, then be right back down. I grabbed my back and ran up the stairs. I walked into the bathroom and quickly got into the shower.

I got washed, then turned off the water and grabbed my towel. I stepped out of the tub, cautiously trying not to slip on the wet floor. I put on black skinny jeans and a floral top, some makeup, and my hair up in a high pony tail. I walked back downstairs, and Ellie and Jessica were sitting on the couch.

" I'm gonna go get ready." I hear Ellie say, as she walks upstairs. I sit on the couch next to Jessica as we finish the show that Ellie and her had started watching while I was upstairs.

When Ellie came back downstairs we said goodbye to jessica, and left. Our ride home was full of Ed Sheeran songs, one of my favorites.

I dropped Ellie off at her flat, and left. When I pulled into my driveway I grabbed my bag out of the back and headed up the stairs to my door. I fiddles with my keys till I finally found the key ad unlocked the door. I stepped inside and set my bag down. I noticed a note a couple feet away from my door lying on the floor. I picked it up.

"No reason to hide babe, ha. I want to see you, soon. We'll try this again. I'll pick you up at 7 tonight ? Yeah ? Wear something special for me.

- Harry.xx '

Well, I'm screwed.
