Falling For You

Chapter eight: Reunion

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. The sound that I love to hear. The sound, of my sisters ringtone. Oh, I just love when my sister texts me in the morning. Hear the sarcasm?

Nina: Hey sis

Me: Why are you texting me at seven in the morning?

Nina: What? I can't text my amazing, loving, kind, older sister?

Me: What do you want?

Me: You always say nice things to me when you want something.

Nina: What makes you think I want something😉?

Me: Just tell me.

Nina: Can I come see Harry?

Me: Why?

Nina: It's been a while. Pleaseeeeeeeee🙏

Nina: If you say no, I'll bring Austin over.

Me: Ugh. Fine. Come by today. He's off. And don't bring your boyfriend. He hits on me. And do not bring Austin.

"Harry, my sister wants to see you today. I told her to come over." I said, walking into his house. Usually Harry is awake and sitting at the breakfast table. But he's not.

I walked up the stairs, seeing clothes all over the floor. "Can't you clean up after yourself?" I asked, picking his clothes up. I walked up the next flight of stairs, seeing cups and plates. "Come on Harry." I exclaimed, picking them up.

I walked into his room, seeing his bed messy, and the chair to his desk pulled out. Harry sat at his desk, his hair in his face, and his head rested on his laptop. I sighed, and walked over to him.

"Harry." I whispered. "Mhm." "Come on, wake up." I whispered. "No. I'm so tired." He groaned, turning his head to the side. "Can you at least go in your bed and sleep?" I asked. He sighed, and got up. He walked to his bed, and flopped down.

"Why are you so tired?" I asked, running my hand through his hair. "Stayed up all night last night. So much work." He replied, his eyes still closed. "Well, my sister is coming today. She wants to see you." I said. He nodded, and kissed my hand. "Go back to sleep." I whispered, kissing his head. His nose crinkled, and I smiled.

"Bella, where's daddy?" Kaylin asked. "He's sleeping baby." I replied. "Daddy? Sleeping? Doesn't he have work?" She asked. "He took off today. Uncle Niall is taking over for him. I called in this morning too, just to make sure Taylor remembered." I replied. She nodded, and climbed on top of the counter.

My phone buzzed, with Nina's name across the top of my phone. I groaned, and answered.

"What Nina."

"Well, hello to you too."

"What do you want?"

"Derik and I are on our way now to Harry's. You there?"

"I told you not to bring Derik. I would rather deal with mom and dad fighting, than Derik.

"Hey! Derik is a nice guy! Don't offend him. I love him."

"I thought I loved Austin too, but you see how that worked."

"Yeah, speaking of Austin-"

"He better not be with you. Is he?"

"Well..."

"Nina! What the hell! I told you not to bring him!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry! Derik and him are best friends! I couldn't say no!"
