FATE

Chapter 15

H a r r y

I woke up to the sound of music playing downstairs. I got out of bed and stood by the stairs to find everyone in the living room dancing to the music while they were cleaning up from last night, I scanned the room and saw Charlotte on Louis shoulders holding on for her dear life. Everyone was in sight except Sal. I really don't know why I didn't ask her if she wanted to hang out last night, I feel like coward but at the same time I feel like it's too soon. I put a shirt over my head and slipped on some shoes and went over to Salma's.

I rang the doorbell and waited impatiently. I heard shuffling behind the door and then she came into view. She was dressed in jeans and a blue top with converse and sunglasses that kept her hair off her face.

"Sal, how are you?"

"Hey Harry I'm good wbu?"

"Oh I'm fine.... Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah just down to the supermarket, were missing a few things"

"Do you mind if I join you?" I asked hoping she wouldn't mind.

"Sure" she said with a wide smile. We hopped into her Audi and started driving. She has a good taste in cars for a girl.

We arrived less than 10 mins later, and got out. We buzzed around the shop gathering eggs, cheese and some other stuff then we stood in line. It was taking forever for it to be our turn since only one cashier is open. There was a boy stood behind us and kept looking at Sal I suddenly became curious and I didn't like the fact that he was staring. Then to my surprise he spoke up.

"Hey, Salma right?" She looked up and smiled with a nod.

"Dylan yeah?" He nodded. I felt like I was invisible. I let out a small cough and their attention was directed to me.

"Dylan this is Harry my friend and neighbour" she introduced me.
Dylan put out his hand for me to shake but I was very hesitant until Salma glared at me. Then his attention was back to Salma.

"Dylan I didn't know you were in LA" Salma questioned.

"Well actually I arrived this morning because I'll be attending UCLA starting tomorrow and I just came down here to get some stuff" he explained with a wide grin on his face. He's looking at her like a love sick puppy.

"Oh my god that's amazing I'll be seeing you there everyday!!"

"Well yeah, I haven't seen you in a really long time. I was wondering if want to hang out like tonight or something to catch up?" He asked hesitantly. I rolled my eyes and let out a small chuckle then revived a nudge in my side from Salma.

"Dylan I would love too, here is my number" she took out a pen and wrote on the back of the shopping list and gave it to him.

"Text me later so I could save your number and give you the address" she added

"Don't worry I will, and I'll pick you up at 7?" He asked and she nodded.

Well great now my plan is ruined. Shit. It was now our turn and I hadn't realised that she had already paid and started to pick up the bags. I immediately took them from her.

"You're being really quiet" she said to me.

"Yeah I know I think I got a headache from last night" I tried to make up the best excuse. However I know that she knows the truth. Because I hadn't had a drink last night. Instead of arguing back she just nodded and headed to the car. She got it and started driving. The car ride was dead silent the tension was growing, it was starting to become more awkward. We arrived and rushed to the elevator determined to break the awkward silence. When we arrived at our floor we both went into our houses without another word. I huffed and I turned around to find a pair of eyes staring at me. Shit. Louis.

L o u i s

Last night was perfect, I told Charlotte that I was ready to finally have a relationship again and asked her to be my girlfriend, I was so happy that she had agreed even though I knew she would. Just hearing her say that she does want to be my girlfriend brings me joy. we still haven't told anyone but I think we will tonight.

This morning Harry rushed out without a word. I think I know why. He's been acting wired lately around Salma and I think he likes her. Even though he won't admit it, I'm sure he does. He was supposed to ask her to hang out tonight and I hope he has. My thoughts were interrupted by the door shutting and Harry was stood his back to me. He turned around and just froze at my gaze.

"Sooo? Did you ask?" I waited for a response. I'll take that as a no.

"I didn't."

"Harryyy come on like man up"

"Lou I would've but she bumped into and old friend and he asked her out before I could" I argued back.

"Sorry Harry" I looked at him with sympathy in my eyes.

"She's so hard to get to. Oh and guess what? He's attending the same uni as us. So that means if this date goes well she will be seeing him everyday and then they will date" by now he was having a full on rant about what happened. I know that he feels jealous but that word has never been said by Harry Styles. I need to get it out of him.

"Harry calm down we will figure something out! When is she going out anyway?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Seven" he replied bluntly.

I nodded and made our way to the kitchen where everyone was now sitting having breakfast and a stack of pancakes in the middle of the table. Harry and I sat next to each other and started to eat. It felt kind of odd that Salma wasn't here. It was like something is missing.

When we were done we sat down and watched 'white chicks' and we were all in tears except Harry, He looked deep in thought. It was now 5 and still no sign of Salma. I wonder where that dude was going to take her.

H a r r y

I came up with a plan and now I need to do it. I know she will hate me after it but that's how I am when I'm Jeal- . I'm not gonna even think of that word. I looked at Louis and smiled at him since he was looking at me. He shook his head, probably knowing the plan I had in mind. I got up and everyone glanced at me.

"Come on guys get up we are going out" I heard cheers and they all got up and started rushing around the room. Then Louis came up to me.

"Mate, she will be furious if you do this" he whispered only loud enough for me to hear.since everyone was. I didn't reply I simply shook my head and walked passed him. He knows me too well.

I went upstairs put on black shirt, black jeans and black vans with a flannel and a SnapBack. I took one look in the mirror before yelling at everyone to hurry up. I waited for one hour for everyone to finish and we split into two cars and drove off to the movie theatre downtown next to the mall. This is going to be one hell of a night.
