Chapter 10

So basically I want to thank you guys for reading this and commenting on it. Literally one little comment makes my day! Thank you guys for also voting! None of my stories have ever gotten this many votes!!! Woop woop! Anyway, I'm trying to start updating faster, but my mind has been blank for what seems like ages! This chapter is kind of a filler chapter because I didn't really know what to write about. I did work on it for a good few hours though, trying to make it longer. Anywhooo I'll shut up and let you read :) Enjoy! Oh, wait! Listen to the song on the side!! Okay, now enjoy! Aha :)

Once I woke up again I reached over for my phone and checked the time. “8:34.” I mumbled to myself and sighed. I had slept longer than I thought I was going to. A couple messages were unread on my phone, so I quickly checked them, noticing they were nothing of importance. Jake had texted me telling me that everyone went out for food and they would be back later. I rubbed my face and winced at the pounding in my head. I slowly got out of bed and made sure I had everything before leaving the room and walking out of the house. The cold air smashed against my face and I immediately shivered. My arms wrapped around my body in an attempt to warm myself. I wasn’t really sure where I was going, but I assumed Jake would want to have some “fun” and I really wasn’t in the mood. I walked around for a few hours, trying my best to keep myself warm until I found a small cubby hole between a building and a bench. I wiggled in between the small space, lucky I was tiny enough to fit in. The bench and the building blocked the wind from hitting me, which warmed it up a tad bit more. I closed my eyes and let out a long breath. My fingers fumbled over my phone as I tried to unlock it. I scrolled through all my contacts, trying to find somewhere to go. More than half of my contacts wouldn’t even remember me, I hadn’t talked to them in so long. I sighed before giving in and clicking on the contact my thumb was hovering over.

I’m sorry to bother you, but can you please come get me?

I turned my screen off and desperately waited for a response. Even though the wind was being blocked from me it was still bloody freezing out here. After a few minutes I received a message back.

Yeah, of course. Where are you?

I sighed thankfully and slowly texted back, due to my cold fingers.

By the small dress shop uptown. Thank you.

I decided to stay in the cubby until he got here, although I didn’t think he would be able to find me since I was hidden pretty well. I let my eyes close as I curled up into the tightest ball that I could. People continued to pass by, of course not paying any attention to me. No one ever did. I was either a homeless woman or a slutty prostitute. I sniffled a little, and rubbed my arms for warmth, which wasn’t doing much. My hands were the coldest part of my body. “Belle?” I head a muffled voice and I groaned, not really wanting to move. Today would have been a great day to bring a jumper. I slowly crawled out of the cubby hole, making sure I remembered where it was for future events.  I kept my eyes towards the ground out of embarrassment. I heard him sigh and in about two few steps he was standing next to me and wrapping his jacket around my shoulders. “C’mon, get into the car.” He said and I glanced up noticing how bright his green eyes were tonight. I nodded slowly and he led me over to the passenger side of the car. He opened my door for me and helped me in. I smiled slightly and sighed in relief when the warm air of the car engulfed me. Harry walked around in what looked like about three steps. He got into the car and drove off towards where I assumed we were going, his house.

“Thank you.” I mumbled quietly as I continued to rub my arms. Even though I was in his jacket and a warm car, I still couldn’t seem to warm up.

“Why are you out anyway?” He asked.

“None of your business.” I spat coldly and looked out the window. I didn’t want to really talk to Harry. I just didn’t know who else to call. I heard Harry sigh, but he stayed silent for the rest of the ride.
