Stronger

Chapter 1: A long day

It's been a while now, I haven't spoken to Harry in ages. I miss him so much. I can’t even describe the feeling of it. I know he doesn't miss me at all. At least, that's what the magazines have been telling me. Ugh, I hate my life right now, I say quietly. What was I thinking? How could Harry Styles possibly like me? He couldn't, that's why. Suddenly my phone rang, it was Sandy, o god, could life even get worse? I say to myself. As I try to act full of happiness, I pick up the phone. ''Hey'', ''hi Brooke, oh my god, I have got to tell you something, it's it's...'' ''What?'' I reply abnoxiously. ''He's on his way!'' ''What? Who is? Are you kidding me? Am I talking about the same person you are? How do you mean he's on his way?'', ''Just as I say, he is on his way and yes we are talking about the same person, we're talking about Harry.'' ''Haha, next joke please'', I couldn't believe what she was saying. ''No, I'm serious, twitter is all over it'', ''It must've been a joke, it could be all rumors.'' ''Alright, check it yourself than'', ''okay'' I say, as I hang up. Could it be true, I thought rather than saying it out loud. ''Seriously?'' I quietly whispered to myself. My mind was going crazy, I don’t know what to think. Was Harry really going to see me? I jumped on my bed of excitement, I was going insane, literally. ''Brooke, Brooke'' my mom shouted, ''WHAT?'' I yell back. ''Your dad and I want to ask you something'', ''okay, than you should come yourself'' I shout, while I'm still full of excitement. ''I'm not gonna count 'till three Brooke!'' ''Alright, alright'' I say, ''I'm coming down.'' As I walk down the stairs, I still cannot get Harry of of my mind. I just don't know what to think. ''Your dad wants to know, I want to know, why you're acting so strange lately.. so.. so.. upset, so quiet?'' ''I'm not'' I respond quickly. ''Yes, you are and we want to know why.'' ''Well, as I said, nothing is going on.'' ''We know there's something Brooke'', ''No there isn't'' I say as I walk away. ''It's not gonna be easy this way, Brooke'' I ignored it, they can't tell me what to tell and not, I thought. Of course, I knew what they were talking about, but I was not going to tell them. I mean, how could I tell them about Harry? I couldn't tell them I miss him, that would’ve been awkward. I walked to my room and the thoughts in my mind were going insane. As I grab my laptop I lay down on my bed. ''Come on, please run, please run'', my computer is so slow, I thought to myself. As I try to login, I turn my radio on, I just need some music to loose my mind. Luckily, Ed Sheeran was playing! I was happy about that, because I loved him and I really want to see him live sometime. ''YES, finally'', I was logged in on my twitter.. ''let's see then'', I scrolled down my timeline, but I didn't see anything about Harry. Well, maybe in my mentions then? I clicked on my mentions and I see I got loads of them, it was full of Harry. It all said ''Brooke, Harry is on his way to your place! I'm so happy for you''... they don't have a clue, I say quietly. So, it was true then? Was Harry really going to visit me? Hmm, I kept thinking and thinking, imagining how it would be, how he'd hug me, hold me close and put his arms sturdy around me. O god, I miss him, terribly. 

After a long day and night I wake up. I can't even remember what happened last night, I think I fell asleep while reading old diaries. I step out of my bed and open my curtains, the air was cloudy, it was barely raining, it was just another random Sunday in Holmes Chapel, just like any other. I walk to my closet to grab something descent to wear, I stood there thinking what would suit my silly face. Nothing appeared to be good enough. Maybe I can go for a jog in the park? Yes, that was what I was going to do, jogging in the park. I grab some sports trousers and a white t-shirt, so I looked 'sporty', I grabb my all stars and I walked downstairs. ''Hi mum'', I said, ''I'm going for a jog in the park, I'll be back at 10.'' ''Alright, dear'', my mum said. I close the door and take my iPod and play 'raise your glass', by Pink. Just to make sure I knew life is a little party and that I’ll have to enjoy it to make the best of it. I’m now running towards the park, just as a warming up before I heavily start running. I’m looking at the clouds, they were so grey, but yet so peaceful, it just makes me sad somehow. As I was running, I saw lovely couples sitting on benches, it makes me think of Harry. What if he was here? What would I do? Would I dare to say hi? I bet I wouldn't. While I was looking at all those people, I became extremely sad, so I started running harder and harder, I fell like I was going to cry. A few metres later I already felt tired, I'm so not athletic, I thought, but I calmed down. I think I fell alright. ''Excuse me?'' I hear someone say, as I turned around I saw this guy, with a camera in his hand, he must've been a tourist, that for sure, he weard a stripped shirt and a bermuda. Jep, he's a tourist, I say to myself. ''Could you take a picture of me and my wife, please?'' ''Yes'', I nodd as I swallowed. ''Thank you'', the guy says friendly in a slightly foreign accent. As he turns around, ready to walk away, he turns back to me, ''aren't you Harry Styles' girlfriend?'' At that moment, my heart froze, I bet it did, literally, I didn't know what to say.. ''I, I, I, uhm-- yes, uhm-- no I'm not, no'', ''alright then! I must've been mistaken. I'm sorry.'' He turns around and walks away as I kept standing there, I just froze. I can't believe he asked this, people know about me and Harry, they confront me all the time, how was I ever going to forget him? I didn't even have the abillity to reply like a normal person..
