*Harry’s POV*

Two days. After two days since we’ve met her and her friends, I already missed her. I’m really looking forward to see her again. We still keep in touch and we always text each other getting to know ourselves more. I learned that she and her cousins actually live in that big house and she’s currently studying for collage.

“Boys! Take 5!” Paul’s voice echoed through out the big dome. We all raced to the front stage where our water bottles are placed. I settled down my microphone and grabbed my bottle and opened it, letting the cool liquid go down my throat. I pulled out my phone and checked if there are any messages. An annoyed look was placed on my face when I saw a text from Taylor.

‘Hey Harry. I miss us. The old us, I’m really sorry.-Taylor :*’

Louis somehow noticed me and took a seat next to me.

“What’s with the face?” he asked me and I showed him the text from Taylor. His expression went  blank to disbelief.

“Seriously?! After what she’s done on the Grammy’s then the Brit Awards? My only advice is don’t come back for her Harry. She was not good for you.” He patted my shoulder whilst I nodded my head.

“Okay boys. Back to rehearsals.” Paul ordered us as we got up and went to our positions on stage.

“1,2,3” Liam counted as I started to sing.

Do you remember summer  09

Wanna go back there every night

*Avery’s POV*

School. School. Nothing but school. I’m seating here at my desk pretending to listen as my professor is talking about the history of computers. I already know that! I’ve like learned that when I was in highschool or something. I just turned my attention outside the window and observed the surroundings; the school garden can be seen from here and the sun is almost setting. As I stared at the garden, my mind keep thinking of one person. Harry.

What is he even doing right now? When will we ever spend time together like the one we had before? Is he even thinking about me? Does he even care? So many questions are in mind. It started when we start texting each other and asking questions, I always think about him. Weird? Maybe. I finally heard the long awaited ring of the bell and stood up and gathered my things. I pushed back my chair and headed towards the lockers. When I reached my locker I punched the combination in and it opened.

I placed my all my books and some pens that I know that I won’t use and closed it again. I pulled out my phone and making my way out. No messages? Meanie. No love for me. I continued my way out the dreaded building called school and went to the waiting shed. This is what I get for not having a car.

I called a cab and told him my village and he started to drive away. I scrolled down my contacts and decided if should I text him or not. He won’t mind right? Answer me! Right? It won’t hurt to text him just once?

*sigh*

Text him! A voice in my head said. Oh shut up! Why am I getting nervous anyways? It’s not like someone is going to eat me alive. Text him it is.

‘Hiiiiiiii! –Ave.’ the text got sent in a matter of seconds. All we need to do is wait. I placed my phone in my skirts pocket and opened my bag for my wallet. I paid the driver when we came to a stop, I said ‘thank you’ then closed the car door. I heard my phone vibrate whilst I opened the big gate that leads to our not so peaceful home.

Oh yeah. I still live with my cousins. I started living with them when I was 16 and my parents started sending me money for my needs. The time I left them, I never had the chance to see them again and we do not have any contact and they don’t want me to know where in the wide world they are. I sometimes wonder if their dead already or not I hope so. I tried asking my cousins before but they always say; “Their fine. Always working.” Things like that.

I dropped my bag at the foot of my bed and went to my closet to change. I put on my tank top and some shorts. I went to the bathroom and removed the make up that is still on my face.

“DINNER’S READY!”

I heard Christian yell throughout the entire house. I searched for my phone and unlocked it whilst heading downstairs.

‘Hellooooo Aveee! I miss you black eyes! :( I want to spend time with you again. –Harry xx’

‘I miss you too curly! :(same here, want to spend time with you. But I bet you’re busy.-Ave.’

‘Yeah. We are busy. Actually, we’re having rehearsals right now. –Harry xx’

‘How come you can text me if you’re having rehearsals?’

‘Water break. –H’

‘Oh. –A’

‘Be back later, love. ;) –H’

I frowned at that. Later will turn to hours! I just can’t wait to text him again. The smell of food hit my nostrils as I walk inside the kitchen. I saw them all in the dining table getting ready to be served. I took a seat next to Rachel who greeted me with a ‘Hey’. I greeted her back. I saw Michelle cutting the lasagna to square shapes and placed two pieces in every plate.

I started eating when the food was placed in my plate. We all ate in silence. The sound of the fork and knife hitting the plate can be heard and the crunch of the toasted bread. Michelle started to break the silence.

“How’s school?”

“Perfectly fine. A normal school day.” I responded whilst grabbing another slice. What can I say? The food was so good!

“Yeah. What she said. But I got more friends.” Christian said with a big grin on his face.

“Today is not really normal, because THE Nathan Hills just asked for my number! Can you believe that?!” Kristine exclaimed like some fan girl that saw their favorite artist. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. You can clearly see that me and her are not really sometimes in good terms. She is my cousin, but she will never be my friend.

“Nathan Hills? You mean the University’s bloke? You’ve got to be kidding me! He only wants to get in every girl’s pants in the entire University! I can’t believe your that low!” I snapped at her. Like I said before, it’s like déjà vu. I took a look at Kristine and saw her starting to get furious but I don’t care.

“I’m not that low AND he is not a bloke! He is one of most popular human being in school. Have you seen him is the question! He is like a god I tell you! He’s the other definition of perfect.” She protested. I rolled my eyes and keep my cool down. They’ve already seen me furious but they haven’t seen me blow up that’s why I’m keeping my cool down. But I think they’ll see the blown up me today.

“I’ve seen him and you know what?! I also throw up in disgust for the fact that his face makes me sick.” I spat. That’s when she can’t hold on much longer. BAM!

“YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS! YEAH, JEALOUS AVERY! BECAUSE I ALWAYS GET THE HOT AND GOOD LOOKING GUYS! YOU NEVER EXPERIENCE DOING SOMETHING THAT’S BAD FOR YOU! YOU’RE ONLY POPULAR BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU’RE A YOUTUBER! BUT YOU NEVER GET TO HANG OUT WITH THE POPULAR PEOPLE BUT I DO!” she was really blown up. That’s it! I had enough!

“You know? I DON’T CARE! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S THE FLIRT AND FLIRT AROUND TO EVERY GUY YOU SEE! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO COMES HOME THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS SLEPT WITH RANDOM PEOPLE! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO GOES CLUBBING LIKE 4 TIMES A WEEK!  I THINK I SHOULD NEVER CALL YOU MY COUSIN COZ YOU A BITCH AND A SLUT! I DESPISE YOU AS MY COUSIN! REMEMBER THAT BITCH!” I shouted and walked out of the kitchen leaving them gobsmacked. I marched into my room and slammed it really hard so that they can hear. LOUD and CLEAR.

I don’t think I regret what I just said because all of them are true. I want to get out here for awhile. I can’t stand it here but to whom shall I go? I heard my phone buzz and saw a text. That got me an idea.
