“WAKE UP ITS CHRISTMAS!” I opened my eyes to see a familiar mass of curls flying through the air before landing on me.
“Oh my God Harry I hate you.” I groaned, pushing him off me and my bed and onto the floor.
“HEY! I hope you get coal from Santa.” Harry whined, pulling himself up on my bed again. “Now get up! I want to open presents.” I looked at him.
“Harry, this is my house, your presents are at yours, stupid.” I laughed.
“No, my mum put them all here so we all can spend Christmas together! You, me, Gemma, my mum, and your mum!” He grinned, reaching over to ruffle my hair. “So come on!” He shouted and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of bed.
“I hope you trip down the stairs.” I said groggily. Harry chuckled, still holding onto my arm.
“I’ll make sure to bring you down with me.” He said with a wink.
“You’re so mean.”
“Whatever. I made you breakfast so I’m fairly certain that takes away any meanness.”
“It depends…”
“On what?”
“Whether or not I die from eating whatever you probably destroyed in the process of making this ‘Breakfast’ of yours.” I said with a grin.
“That’s it!” Harry exclaimed, throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me the rest of the way down the stairs. He turned towards the door and my eyes widened.
“Harry no! Don’t you dare, I will get you! I won—ahhh!” I screamed as Harry threw me into the snow bank outside my door. “Harry Edward Styles I am going to kill you!” I said, looking down at my now soaked pajama shorts and shirt. I looked up to see Harry cackling in the door way, leaning on the frame for support. I grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him, hitting him in the face. “That’s karma, bitch.” I laughed.
“Oh, its on!” He said, crouching down to grab some snow. I took advantage of this moment to pull him down into the snow bank next to me before getting up and running towards the house. “Don’t you think you’re getting away that easily.” He growled, chasing after me. I was about to enter the house when his strong arms wrapped around me, spinning our bodies around to land in the snow bank once again. “Ha!” He grinned, looking down at me through his messy curls. My breathing hitched in my throat as I stared at the handsome boy hovering above me. I could feel his sculpted abs against my stomach through my thin shirt and his toned arms that were wrapped around me. My heart rate sky rocketed as he leaned in close to me, whispering huskily in my ear, “I think I win.” He pulled away, smirking as I tried to recover and play it cool. I was far from okay though. Harry’s hot breath tickled my nose as his smirk widened at my lack of response. This boy did things to me that I couldn’t explain. I couldn’t properly function with him this close to me. My lips parted as I tried to come up with some sort of witty reply, but I couldn’t think.
“Harry, Mellissa, get out of the snow right now before you get frostbite!” Anne’s voice shouted from the house. Harry quickly got off of me, offering a hand in assistance. I gratefully accepted his hand, then smirked, pulling him back into the deep snow before I ran inside, giggling all the way into the kitchen where I hid behind my mum. Gemma laughed as Harry came in, hair soaked.
“Okay, you two, go get dried off and get dry clothes and come on back for breakfast and presents.” My mom chuckled, pushing us to the stairs again. Harry followed me up to my room.
“Here.” I said, handing him an old shirt and shorts.
“Are these mine?” He asked, holding the shirt up.
“Yep.” I said, walking into my closet and shutting the door behind me as I switched into my plaid flannel pajama pants and my big fuzzy sweater.
“What else of mine do you have?” He asked as I emerged. I took one look and screamed, covering my eyes. “Oh, come on, its just my boxers. Nothing you haven’t seen before.” He laughed.
“Put some pants on!” I said, trying to hide my blush.
“Okay, okay.” I could hear the smile in his voice. “Done.” I peeked between my fingers to check, then removed my hands. “So what else do you still have.” I shrugged.
“Everything in the drawer.” I said, pointing at the top drawer in my dresser.
He opened it, looking in. “You kept everything I left here. You didn’t even move anything.” He exclaimed, shuffling through the neat stacks of clothes that had remained untouched for the past two years. Harry was always over at our house so he just left a drawer full of clothes in my room which I used to always wear. Especially his t-shirts, because he hated it when I did that. “Melly, this is crazy.” He whispered. “I’m so sorry for everything. Fuck, its all my fault. I shouldn’t have abandoned you, now I see the real effect. You wanted to preserve what you had left, didn’t you.” He asked softly, wrapping his arms around my torso, wiping a tear from my cheek that I hadn’t even realized had fallen. “God, Melly, I’m so sorry. I messed up so bad.” He pulled me close, nuzzling his nose into my neck. I hesitantly wrapped my arms around his bare torso, ever so aware of the heat radiating through me. I pulled away, cupping Harry’s face in my hands, but he pulled away.
“Harry…” I whispered tenderly, pulling his face back, looking in his eyes that were brimming with tears. The sight of him so sad broke my heart. “Oh, Harry.” I said, wiping a tear from his face. “Its okay, I forgive you now. At the time I couldn’t forgive you, but during those years I couldn’t forgive myself either. I thought it was because I was a bad friend or wasn’t good enough or pretty enough to be seen with you.” Harry’s eyes snapped up to meet mine and he opened his mouth to speak. I rested my finger on his lips. “I don’t care what they think now. Because all that matters is that I have my friend back. I don’t care if that means I’ll be hawked by the media, I don’t care if it means I get hate. All that matters is that I have you.” I smiled sadly. Harry gave me one hard look before grabbing my face and crashing his lips on mine. My eyes widened in shock, and as quickly as our lips met, they were detached. Our eyes met, both of us with shocked looks on our faces. Harry stepped back slowly, panic in his eyes.
“I’m so sorry.” He breathed before running out of my room.
Holy shit.
