NINE

    I feel a gentle shake on my shoulder and I slowly open my eyes. 

"Emery, we're home." Harry says.

I climb out of the car and grab my things and I hurriedly make my way inside. 

I don't want to talk to Harry about anything right now. 

I'm being stubborn but I don't really care anymore. 

I open the front door and I'm met with Anne's curious eyes. 

I simply shake my head at her for the time being, I don't want to talk bad about her son to her. 

Especially not when I know that she'll more and likely talk to him about it. 

She gives me a sad smile in return and I just head to my room. 

My bag is dropped onto the floor as soon as I enter my room and I head straight for the bed. 

I plop down and let out a sigh. 

I hate feeling like this. 

I don't want these feelings to resurface because I know that I'll just get hurt in the end and I really don't want that. 

Honestly, I would love to lay in bed all day but I know that I shouldn't.

I hear a quiet knock at the door and my heart drops. 

I really hope that isn't Harry. 

Gemma walks on and I physically relax. 

"Just me." She says while laughing. 

She takes a seat next to me and looks at me. 

"What happened?" She asks. 

"To put it simply, we went out to a club and we were both pretty drunk. We almost kissed and I went to the bathroom for a few minutes and when I came out he was cuddled up with some random girl and they kissed." I breathe out. 

Gemma rolls her eyes. 

"When is he going to realize?" She mumbles. 

"Realize what?" I ask. 

"You two should be together, Emery. I'm so tired of seeing him do this to you. You seriously deserve better. I'm sorry that you had to go through that." Gemma responds. 

I'm not sure why, but her words hit me like a ton of bricks and I can't help but let the tears fall.

She pulls my into a hug and I just sit in her arms crying. 

I feel so pathetic. 

After I calm myself down, I pull away from her and blurt out,

"I'm in love with him."

"I know, so does mum. It's okay. But you have to tell him." She responds honestly. 

I shake my head "No. I can't. He doesn't feel the same way and I don't want to humiliate myself. It isn't worth it. " I say. 

Then I start crying more. She hugs me yet again. 

I hear a knock at the door and Harry walks in. His face softens as he looks at me.

"What's wrong?" he asks concerned.

"Nothing" I say, avoiding his eyes. 

He rolls his eyes. "There's obviously something wrong if you are crying like that" he says.

I look to Gemma hoping that she'll help me but all she does is throw her hands up and walks out. 

I mentally face palm. 

"I really am fine Harry." I say and roll over to face away from him. 

I hear the floor creak as he gets closer to the bed. 

I then feel the bed dip next to me and I want to cry even more. 

"What's wrong babe?" He asks again. 

Why did he call me that?

I turn over to look at him again. 

"I don't want to talk about it. I just want to be alone right now. Honestly I'm just overreacting." I respond. 

He gives me a pleading look. 

"Thank you for caring but I'm okay. You can leave." I say. 

"I'm not leaving until you tell me." He says. 

I let out a groan and cover my face with my hands. 

"Well looks like you aren't leaving anytime soon." I respond. 

"I'm okay with that." Harry responds while getting under the covers. 

I roll back over and let out a huff. 

I feel him scoot closer to me. 

Suddenly a hands grabs my waist and flips me to look at him. 

"You aren't going to cuddle." He asks while pouting. 

"You can cuddle anyone you want Harry." I respond .

"But I want to cuddle you." He says. 

He looks really soft and warm right now.. 

I cuddle into him and nuzzle my head into the crook of his neck. 

He rests his head on top of mine and within minutes, I'm asleep. 

...

I wake up and feel someone starting at me. 

I look over to find Harry looking at me with admiration in his eyes. I need to tell him that I want things to go back to the way they were before.

"You're such a stalker." I say while laughing. 

He lets out a chuckle. 

I look at him and we both just sit there staring at each other for 

"Harry"

"Emery" we both say at the same time.

"You go first." he laughs.

I take a deep breathe and say "Harry I wanna go back to old times. This isn't okay. It's been so weird between us and I just want to be friends like we used to be. I was so upset last night because I was being stupid and jealous and I'm sorry for that. But I do want to just be like we used to."

He looks hurt for a moment then shakes his head and says 

"Emery I'm sorry. That's not possible. I'm in love with you and I'm not letting you go this time." My heart starts beating rapidly and my palms get sweaty.
