One Direction to the Rescue

Alone No More-ch20

Harry’s point of view

I didn’t know what was happening.  We were so close, I saw him coming closer and closer.  We were an inch away, I froze I couldn’t move away but I didn’t either.  Then he went all the way.  Before I knew it we were kissing.  I melted into it, until he pulled away.  We looked at each other for a second.  “Wh.. What…” I started to say before he cut me off.

“I have to go!” he said jumping up, throwing me to the side.  He started running outside in the snow falling.

“Stop! Scott come back!” I yelled.  I didn’t know what happened, I wanted to know what he thought.  I didn’t even know what I was thinking.  My mom was coming toward me but I ran outside.

I started chasing his car yelling the whole time “Don’t worry about! Let’s talk! Don’t leave me!!”  I was now in the middle of the street watching as his car was pulling away.  I started to cry.  I stood there for awhile until I couldn’t see the lights of his car anymore. 

I walked back inside past my mom.  “Harry what happened? Why did Scott leave?” she said following me up the stairs.

I went into my room and slammed the door.  I locked it then slid down the door.  Now I could hear Gemma outside my door along with my mom.  “Harry what’s wrong?  Open the door and talk to us.” They were pleading.

I was crying into my arms.  I crawled over to my bed and curled up under my covers.  I don’t even know why I was crying.  I didn’t think I had feelings for Scott but after that kiss I’m not sure about anything anymore.  My mind was racing I just wanted to talk to him and see what he thought about everything.  I was just as confused as he was, I mean he was the one who kissed me! 

I woke up the next morning probably only getting two hours of sleep altogether.  I laid in my bed for awhile, not wanting to get up and face my parents and Gemma.  I started to get hungry and thought might as well get this over with.  I opened my door and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.

As walked in all eyes were on me.  I just ignored them and went to the pantry and got a box of cereal.  I sat down at the table and poured my cereal into a bowl.  I started eating and then the questions started.

“So what happened last night?” my mom asked.

“I don’t really know.  He just left.” I said obviously lying.

“O come on Harry we know Scott wouldn’t just leave like that!” Gemma said rather rude.

“Well I don’t know.  Maybe he couldn’t handle being in a family.  I thought I knew him better but I guess not.” Just saying what’s on my mind now.

“Well have you tried calling him?” Mom asked.

“I doubt he will answer my calls.” I said taking another bite of my cereal.

“Well something must have happened.  We should go look for him.”  Mom said.

“He’s probably already in some other country by now.” I got up and started heading upstairs.  “I’m not hungry anymore.”

I heard Gemma start saying something but I heard my mom stop her.  I went back up to my room and locked the door again.  I started going through my phone looking at all the pictures of Scott and I.  I landed on his number and thought about it…

No he probably just needed time.

Scott’s point of view

I drove all night.  My mind racing, I didn’t know where I was going it was like my body was just taking over.  I stopped in a little town to get gas.  I needed to think what to do next.  I couldn’t go back, at least not now.  It would look as if I just had a temper tantrum.
