Half a Heart

Chapter 3

Harry's POV

Me and Aria are just walking into school, she still looks like she's shivering. I gave her my jacket, I think girls like that stuff. I hope she likes that stuff. She's so beautiful I wish that she had feelings for me. Who would? Especially not a girl like her. She's perfect and I'm most definitely not perfect. She's exactly what I want. She's funny, nice, we get on well with each other and she's absolutely beautiful. But, there is no way she would like me. She used to but, I didn't get to her quick enough. IM SO STUPID.

"Harry?" Aria said interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh, yeah sorry, what?" I replied.

"What are you thinking about? You zoned out for a couple minutes there' She said giggling.

"Y-oh, nothing, I was just trying to remember if I had any homework." I replied blushing.

"Oh, I didn't, so you probably didn't either." She replies blushing and smiling at the ground.

Wait, did she just blush? My hands are sweating and I don't know why. I wish I could just tell her. But I can't. If she doesn't like me back then things will be awkward between us and I don't want that. We get on so well together I don't want to ruin that.

Me and Aria continue to walk down the hallway together until we reach her locker. "Oh Harry, here is your jacket, I forgot to give it back." She said while stopping at her locker.

"Just give it to me after school, I can tell that your still not warmed up yet, and to be honest it looks a lot better than you than it does on me." I replied trying to hide the blush forming on my cheeks.

"Oh, okay, thanks." She said smiling at me. "Of course, I'll see you second period." I replied.

"Okay, run fast don't be late for class silly." She said giggling. "Okay, mom." I replied laughing.

I began walking to my locker so I don't get marked late. I grabbed my books and began walking to my first period which was Algebra. I honestly don't like algebra at all, though I'm not that bad at it.

-Lunchtime-

Harry's POV

I finally got through Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, and Writing Literature and it is now my favorite subject, lunch. I make my way into the lunchroom trying to find my table. I find it and sit down next to Aria and Louis (haha awkward bc I ship Larry so hard) With Liam across from me and Niall across from Aria and Maddy across from Louis. Maddy is Aria's only friend that's a girl and they have been friends for the longest time. I don't blame Aria for not talking to the other girls in our school because they are all dramatic and bratty.

"Harry are you okay?" Aria said to me staring at me with her beautiful brown eyes.

"Uhm, what yeah I'm fine I'm just not feeling to well I think I should go home." I said nervously. I actually feel perfectly fine but I'm scared. I'm scared because I'm supposed to act like just a friend to a girl who I found myself falling In love with. She's beautiful without even trying, she smiles at everyone she sees without even thinking twice about it, she loves everybody no matter what, and she has the ability to see the best in everyone without even knowing a single thing about them because deep down inside she knows that behind all the bad things that could possibly be wrong with that person there is a reason to love them. She might not know what it is but she knows its there. And I love her, and I cant hide this for much longer.

"Aw, well let me go home with you I know your parents are working and I don't want you to be by yourself." She said standing up and grabbing my hand. I stood up my fingers still lightly intertwined with Aria's as we began walking. I looked over at her and I saw her look down at our hands and smile.

"Aria you really don't have to go home with me, I will be fine." I explained to her. I didn't want her to leave I wanted her to stay with me forever but she doesn't know that. Maybe she should know that. I need to tell her how I feel today.

"Harry please, I don't want to stay at school, I would rather be with you." She said smiling at the ground. Our fingers still locked together she squeezed my hand and smiled at me.

"Let's go then." I said blushing.

We continued walking my hands are sweating and I have butterflies in my stomach. Until we arrived at my house. I grabbed my key out of my pocket and unlocked the door letting Aria in before me.

"Aria we need to talk." I said shakily.

"Okay, what about?" She replied I could hear the anxiety in her voice.

"I have something I've been meaning to tell you, I've been holding this in for years and I just cant anymore." I began to explain. Her eyes stared deep into mine her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. She spoke,

"You're scaring me." She said looking down at her hands.

"I, I don't know how to say this." I said my anxiety getting the best of me.

"Don't be nervous, you know you can tell me anything. I also need to tell you something I may not have been completely honest with you either." She said.

"Tell me what you need to tell me first." I said.

"No, you tell me first." She argued looking at me.

"Okay fine, lets tell each other at the same time." I said. I'm going to look like an idiot telling her my feelings but she needs to know.

"Okay, on the count of three." She said

1, 2,3 go!

"I love you." we both said.
