eleven

sitting in front of my desk, i decided it was time to get ready. today harry and i were going to film his reddit video. i wasn't really nervous about filming, more the aftermath and the chaos that would follow from all the die hard fan girls.

i did the most minimal make up, aiming to try and make myself look more alive after just waking up about an hour before, and left my hair straight. i didn't want people to think i was trying too hard.

how long will you be

i slipped on my uggs as they were the first pair of shoes i could find, grabbed my car keys and headed down to my car. although i lived in london, i loved having the freedom of being able to just get in my car and blast one direction songs, something i have done ever since passing my driving test.

i made my way up to harry's apartment, and before i knocked on the door, he had already opened it. "finally," he sighed sarcastically.

"wow, nice to see you too," i laughed, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek.

"everything's ready to go," harry explained, walking towards his spare room that he had turned into an office. i sat down on the spare seat that he had and adjusted myself in the viewfinder of the camera.

"are you nervous?" he asked, sitting down himself and pulling up the reddit page on his computer.

i shook my head, "surprisingly not really, i'm more nervous for the comments after," i laughed lightly.

"you'll be fine," he said, looking at me, "anyone who says anything horrible are just jealous. we don't have to do this if you don't want to."

"no, no. i want to do it. and to be fair, i have you and i have all the girls who have been through the same thing. i'll be fine, let's start."

we spent about an hour filming and it was so much fun. i really enjoyed it, spending time with harry but also being productive at the same time. harry convinced me that if the comments were nice enough afterwards, i would make my own channel.

"what do we do now?" i laughed, leaving his office and walking over to the sofa in his living room.

"oh, i wanted to ask you something actually," he replied, sitting down next to me and pulling his phone out of his pocket.

"oh god, what?" with harry, you can never expect what is going to come out of his mouth when he says something like that.

"i'm going to guernsey this weekend, just for a few days. i was going to ask if you wanted to come with me?" he asked, clearly nervous.

"omg, yes," i replied, almost instantly. harry had spoke about his sister, rosie (and the rest of his family too obviously), and i had spoken to her a few times on the phone. although we had only spoke a few times, i knew we would get along well. we were a similar age, had similar hobbies and interests, and overall just very alike.

"oh, thank god," harry sighed. "i was worried you would say no."

i laughed, "shut up."

a few days later, i was packing for our weekend in guernsey. coincidentally, it was also the day of harry's reddit video upload. i was already nervous to meet harry's family, but my anxiety was heightened with the anticipation of the fans reactions.
