Changed My Mind ( Harry Styles Fanfic )

Chapter 6

I've spent the whole day relaxing in my bed and watching horror films on the tv. It's cold outside, considering that fall has just begun, and I would rather be in this hotel room than go outside and be among other people.

The majority of girls I am friends with are obsessed with romantic comedies and they always watch them when they go through a break up or something. But I don't understand why. If a movie that was made to bring this certain kind of heartache to the viewers and potentially make them jealous of what the actors "had", why would anyone want to watch that after a breakup? I like to be scared, and frightened or thrilled by a movie to get my adrenaline pumping instead of crying into a box of chocolates while watching some movie about people falling in love.

It's now almost nine at night and I realize I haven't eaten anything since lunch time. I reach for the phone while quickly looking at the menu next to my bed. I order a bacon cheeseburger with French fries because who really has the time, effort, or tastebuds to even try to be healthy right now? The food staff said they will be up with the food in thirty minutes. Which does seem long, but I can wait.

I pull out my phone from underneath the blankets, where I've hidden it, and see that I have twenty new text messages from only two hours ago. I sigh and read through them all. Most are from Matt, complaining and telling me how embarrassing I was. I could care less. I delete all of his texts because I don't want to read them or look at them again. The rest of the texts are from my mom and grandma, surprisingly. They tell me once again that I have made a mistake. Which I haven't. I've chosen to be happy but no one will accept that.

I respond to the texts from my friends who seem to be the only ones concerned about me. And I respond to emails from companies that want me to do a blog post on them. I'm taking a break from work and my real life for a while. I've always worked hard, even though I'm young. So why not give myself a break.

I place my phone back on the bed when I hear a knock at my door. I smile and jog over to the door and receive my food. I rush back to my bed and lay down and devour the hamburger, which is amazing.

Another scary movie and my dinner down and I'm exhausted from doing nothing all day. I turn all the lights off and turn on some music to play throughout the night. I don't like being in a hotel room by myself and quiet.

It feels like I just lay there with my eyes shut for hours. Even though I'm exhausted, I can't fall asleep. I toss and turn and try to find a comfortable position to lay in, but I have no luck. A though runs through my mind, there is another bed.

I sit up and quickly hop into what was Harry's bed and get under the blankets quickly. I shift around a bit until I'm comfortable. I nuzzle my head into the pillow a little more and realize that it smells just like Harry. I smile a little and pull the blanket closer to my face, it also smells like him. I shouldn't really know what he smells like but I got to spend around 24 hours with him so I caught some of his scent, which may seem weird.

I wake up and quickly sit up straight in bed. I look around and remember that I'm not at home, I'm in this hotel room all by myself. Dream on by Aerosmith is playing quietly on my phone and I grab it to silence it. I yawn and look at the time. I slept through the whole morning. It's almost noon. I haven't done that in so long. I even slept through my early morning alarm I have set on my phone. I don't think I've slept this good in a while.

After laying in bed for a little longer I decide to get up and let some sun in the room. When i open the curtains I realize that there is no sun. It's a cold, rainy day today. Which can only mean another day of just laying around in my hotel room. I'm definitely not complaining about that. I haven't been able to do this since I was a child. I turn the TV on and order some breakfast to my room and for the first time in a long time, I feel content.

------- 5 Days Later -------

"Hi mom." I say as I answer my phone for the first time in about a week. "Where have you been? All you do is send me a text that you're ok and that you'll be gone for a while? Where could you possibly be?" She asks me frantically and I roll my eyes. "I'm not a kid anymore. I don't need to tell you where I am at all hours of the day. I'm on the train heading back to London." I tell her sighing and leaning farther down in my seat. "Well stop by the house. Everyone has been worried about you." She tells me. "I'm going to be staying at Claire's house mom." I know she won't be happy about this.

"You have a house of your own with your fiancé  Mia." She says quietly. I can tell she isn't alone. "He isn't my fiancé anymore mom and the lease is up by the end of the month, therefore we won't be living together anymore." Why does she have to call him my fiancé? She was there when I left him at the alter. "Please stop by the house as soon as you can. And please talk to Matt. This is embarrassing for both families." She tells me and I don't think she gets it at all. She has not one sympathetic bone in her body. "I'm not embarrassed mother. I'm happy." I say to her right as she hangs up. I sigh and relief floods over me. Talking to her can be so stressful.

When the train arrives in London I catch a cab to Claire's, who is expecting me. "Hello!" She says as she pulls me into her arms once I enter her apartment. "How are you?" She asks looking at me up and down like I was hurt. "I'm good." I say smiling at her. "Good I'm glad!" She says hugging me again. "I'm so proud of you Mia!" She tells me which catches me by surprise. "Why?" I ask. "I knew in my heart you really didn't want to marry him. You did what a lot of women wouldn't be able to do and you decided to make yourself happy which I admire so much." She says sounding happier about the whole situation than I am. She never liked Matt either. "Thank you." I say hugging her again.

Claire takes me into her guest room, where the remainder of my stuff is, and she is very happy that I'm staying with her. "There are new sheets on the bed, I think you'll like them, they're so soft!" She exclaims as she pats the bed. "Thank you so much for having me. I promise I won't be here long. I just have to find a place to move into." I tell her sighing about how much work that'll be.

We lay on the bed and talk for a good hour. "We should go out tonight." She says randomly. "Where to?" I ask feeling up for an adventure tonight. "That place we went to for your bachelorette party!" She says standing up. "Ok!" I say not really caring where we go. "I'll call the girls!" She says becoming very enthusiastic. We plan to be ready in a few hours, considering it's only 8pm now.

I take an hour long nap which Claire happily wakes me up from. I shower quickly after and do my hair and makeup and put on my usual outfit- black jeans, black booties, a white long sleeve shirt that has a lace design on it, and a black leather jacket. I leave my blonde hair down with its natural wave in it and grab my purse and find Claire happily waiting for me in the kitchen. "Always wearing black!" She says looking at my outfit and shaking her head. "I can't help it!" I say defending myself and looking at her nice light blue dress. "Well let's go then, the girls are almost there." She tells me and I follow her out of the door and straight into a cab that'll take us to club.

Once we arrive all of my friends, who were also my bridesmaids, hug me and ask me a million questions. After about twenty minutes of catching up with them they all head off to the dance floor with drinks in their hands. I laugh at them and watch from the same stool I sat on just last week, but this time I have an actual alcoholic drink in my hand. I've found alcohol helps me not think about Matt or the wedding.

A song they all love comes on apparently and they all scream and start to dance even more than they already were. I roll my eyes at how girly and energetic they are and turn around in my stool and focus on my phone.

"Told you I would find you." I hear a familiar voice say behind me. I swallow the sip of my drink I just took and feel my face grow red and the butterflies in my stomach start to dance.
