Your Friends, They Look Good, But You Look Better.

Chapter Thirty-Five.

Aimee’s P.O.V.

I woke up to a text from Dylan.

Dylan!: Hey babe :) I’d love to take you on that date you promised me. I want to hear all about judges houses! :D xx”

I sighed. I didn’t even promise him a date. I quickly wrote back to Dylan.

Aimz: I’m really sorry but I don’t really want to go out on a date with you. It’s nothing personal, but I’ve just had too many broken hearts this past while and I don’t want any more. I’m sorry. x

I threw my phone on the bed and went for a shower. When I was ready, I went downstairs and made breakfast. Dad was already at the table with coffee and a newspaper. "Morning."

"Morning. Where’s mum?" I said, sitting down at the table with my cereal.

"Work." I nodded and ate my cereal.

"What time do you want me in work for?"

"Take the day off, me and Josh can manage."

"No it’s ok, I’d rather keep busy." Dad got up from the table and put his cup in the dishwasher. I finished up my cereal and did the same.

"I’m going in now if you want to come with me?" I nodded and went to brush my teeth. A few minutes later, I was sitting in the passenger seat of dad's car. I text Meghan while we drove to see how she was.

Aimz: Hey! Did you sleep well with a 4 year old in your bed? :P x

Megs: Yeah I did actually, she was really tired so went straight to sleep. Guess what? :B

Aimz: What? :o

Megs: She loves Niall! :’)

Aimz: Awh! Make sure I’m there when she meets them!

Megs: That’s the thing... I don’t know if I want to let her meet them. I haven’t even told Liam that I’m looking after her... Don’t go telling him, or the rest of them!

Why wasn’t she telling him?

I walked into the cafe and set my stuff behind the counter. Dad opened up and I set out all the menus. Josh came running in, breathless. "Sorry I’m late!" Dad gave him the evils then just laughed. My dad is actually the best. He’s so easy going and laid back – apart from when boyfriends are involved. Josh went behind the counter. He leaned on it as he spoke to me. "So what happened with you and Dylan?"

"Oh... erm, nothing." I said, quietly, trying to avoid him.

"Come on you can tell me."

"I just don’t want to go out with anyone after what happened with Harry."

"Why what happened?" He asked, genuinely concerned. I was surprised.

"He’s hurt me three times now. I’m done with boys. I might turn lesbian."

"I’m so sorry Aimee. If I knew what had happened I would’ve sorted him out." Josh walked around the counter and hugged me tightly. I really need to get over Harry.

It was getting close to lunchtime and the cafe was beginning to get busy. I was finishing cleaning a table. I lifted the tray of dirty dishes and went to turn around. I accidentally hit the salt shaker and it was going to hit the floor and smash. I couldn’t set the tray down in time to grab it so I winced and waited for the smashing noise. I saw a hand move swiftly and catch it. I breathed out in relief as I turned to the person who caught it. "Than- Harry? What are you doing here?" Harry stood holding the salt in one hand and Lauren’s hand in his other. My heart sunk.
