It is evening time as heat of the day has gradually disspated. After coming back from visiting mum, I dropped Ben at his friends house. So currently I'm doing the dishes as Harry is sitting on the couch watching television. My phone rings and I see its an unknown number. I wipe my hands with a towel as I pick up.
'Hello, Stacey Conroy here.' I say and waiting for some answer. 'Hey' a thick male voice answers. I twitch my forehead failing to recognise the person. 'Im Kyle' he says as if hearing my thoughts. 'Oh hey' I reply in a candid tone.

Kyle has always been my favourite. He has such a stunning personality and somebody who would never fail to make you smile. With an attractive face, figure and personality, he stands out in the jocks.

'Um, stace, I wanted to ask if Jane is coming for the movie thing?' He says in a straight forward yet nervous tone. 'Yeah she is, why?' I answer. 'Thats great' he exclaims, I know he is smiling. 'Is there something that I should know, Kyle? I say in a playful manner. 'Um I gotta go, byee!' Is all he says before hanging up. Wierd. I think he likes Jane. I hope yes, they're gonna be perfect!

I walk into the living room and loop my arms around harry's neck as I kiss his forehead. 'Come on, we have to leave in thirty minutes. The movie starts at 6.' I say as Harry nods and goes upstairs to change, following me. I enter my room as I start rummaging through my cupboard. What should I wear? I finally end up wearing black denim shorts and a dark blue full sleeved shirt. You must be wondering what's with me and blue? Well its my favourite. I straighten up my hair and put on some party makeup. I lock a glance at the mirror: I look presentable. I pull out a silver locket, a pendant with a tiny heart and 'S' written at the back. My dad gifted me this on my sixteenth birthday. I love this so much, it brings back so many memories.

'Need some help?' Says a voice, i jump in horror as i clasp a hand on my heart. 'Jesus, Harry!' I say, 'How long have you been standing here?' He walks in with a smirk. 'The moment you started undressing yourself!' He says with a wink. I playfully hit him on his shoulder as an element of embarrassment flows in me. 'What? It's not like i haven't seen it before' He says, his smirk getting cheeky by the minute. My eyes open wide as I say, 'Cut it out, you creep' as i start chaining the pendant. He politely takes it from my hand and bows down saying, 'May I?' This time I'm the one who winks and says, 'You may.'

He very carefully locks it behind my neck as i touch the sentimental piece. Its so beautiful. This makes me miss dad even more. I wish he was here today. Its like Ben and I have been abandoned forever, living without a dad at the age of eighteen with a mother whose at the hospital is not a piece of cake. No matter how much i appear to be happy, a part of me is missing, no matter what. I think this is what 'strong' they talk about.

'Penny for your thoughts?' Harry remarks as i quietly kiss him on the cheek and grab my wallet, phone and make my way to his car. We're driving in silence when he turns up the radio. One Directions Night Changesa comes up and i jump 'Oh my God thats my favourite song!' I exclaim. Harry looks at me and says with a wink, 'If it's your favourite, then from today, its mine too'. I smile and wonder what would i have done if he wouldn't have been mine.

Going out tonight, changes into something red, her mother doesn't like that kind of dress, everything she never had, she's showing off.

And then soon after, we sing the chorus together.

We're only getting older baby,
And I've been thinking about you lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes.
