Harry and I were sitting on the ground and staring into the space, with only our heavy breathing were being heard around because neither of us weren't talking.
Actually, I didn't know what I supposed to say. Should I tell him, 'I'm sorry for sleeping with you last night', even though it wasn't my fault and neither I had no idea about it? But nevertheless, I feel like I still have to apologize. I don't know why, but I think it is the best thing to do right now. So here it goes... "Look Harry-" "Look Heather-" we both say at the same time, making the both of us pause for a second and look at each other. "You go first." I told him, and he nodded. He cleared his throat first before he speak. "Look Heather." He sighed. "I'm sorry about last night. I didn't even know how drunk I am, and something like that happened." "I was going to say the same thing! 'Cause neither I, had no idea." I confessed with wide eyes. "Wait? You were drunk last night?" He raised an eyebrow with a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes. "Nathalie made me." "Oh... So you don't remember anything?" I shook my head in response. "Shit!" He palmed his forehead. "Did I?..." He gestured down to my crotch, making my cheeks heated up. God this is so embarrassing! "I don't know." I answered and look down, avoiding eye contact with him. He stared into the space for a second as if he was deep in thoughts, before he speaks again. "Did you see blood in your... You know?" With tainted cheeks, I shook my head "No" "Good. Nothing happened." "I know." I muttered. "You know, this is the most awkward conversation we had?" He chuckled. "Let's just forget about this, okay?" He asked as he held my hand with a grin on his face. We intertwined our fingers making me smile as well and nodded. "So what happened between you and your mum?" I asked, staring to our hands. We look like a couple. I mentally smiled. "She grounded me for two days, and took my phone away." He shrugged as if it's not a big deal. "Ouch, that's harsh." "It's better than no video games for a week." "So aren't you supposed to leave your house right now?" "Yeah." He breathed. "Well how did you get here?" "I used my ninja moves to sneak out." He shrugged with a smirk on his face. I laughed. "I should've known you can jump off the roof." We both laughed and after that, my phone started ringing. Soon, Liam's caller Id came to view. "Hello?" I answered. "Where were you? Mum's really pissed right now" "Why?" "You didn't go to school today, and you need to come home. Someone needs to see you." "Wha-" Before I could ask any further, he hung up. I didn't go to school? "Shit!" I muttered and face palmed when reality hits me. "What?" Harry asked with furrowed brow. "I forgot it's Tuesday! And I missed a day of school! God! Mum's going to kill me!" He laughed. "Guess we're both the same now."
"Heather!" A woman with white hair and thick eyebrows in the mid 50's greeted and give me a hug as soon as I opened the front door of our house. "Grandma Allison? What are you doing here?" I asked as we pulled away from each other. "Well, don't you miss me?" She pouted. "Aaaw, of course Granny! I missed you!" I gave her a Peck on her cheek. "I missed you too Darling. I just came here for a visit." She smiled, then turned her gaze to Harry, who's standing behind me. "Oh isn't this Harold?" "Hi Granny!" He politely greeted with a smile and hug her. "Well aren't you tall! The last time I saw you, you can't even reach that cookie jar in the kitchen" We chuckled. My grandmother was the closest family member that I had since both of my parents were too busy working everyday and Liam had no enough time to talk to me for no reason. She was babysitting me when I was a little, as well as Harry since he's always in our house because his mother too was busy working. So definitely, she treated him as a grandson. "Heather Elizabeth Payne!" Someone shouted behind Granny, making me snap my attention to an angry looking woman in a blue dress. Mum. "You were supposed to be in school! What on earth are you doing here!" She scolded. "I uh-... My alarm... um, my alarm was broke." I avoided eye contact with her, and I can practically see her raising her thick brown eyebrows. "You think I didn't know that you went to that party last night?!" She crosses her arms over her chest. My eyes widened with my mouth parted in shock. How does she know? "H-how-" I tried to asked, but she cut me off. "I can practically heard the music from the Styles' house last night! So don't you dare lie to me that you didn't go in there!" I gulped. "I uh-" I look at Harry for help, but he only shrugged. Shit!How can I be so stupid?! I shouldn't just go to that damn party! And the worst thing is, what if she knew that I'm drunk? "And you!" She pointed to Harry, with furious expression. "Aren't you supposed to be grounded? Or did I have to call Anne?" She threatened, making Harry's eyes widened. "I'm actually getting back to my house now. Bye Heather! Granny Allison! And Mrs. Payne!" He bid and walk out of our house. I quietly groaned. This is why I'm scared of my mum. "And you young lady!" She raised her voice in a high pitch tone. "You're grounded 'till Friday!" Well, I wasn't expecting that. So I just nodded. "Oh come on Leah! Give your daughter a chance!" Granny defended, making me smiled at her. But knowing my mum being strict... "Why would I? She lied to me! You would do the same thing if you were in my shoes." She went to the kitchen after that, leaving me and Granny to sit on the couch in the living room. "Dad isn't home yet?" I asked. "Yeah." She replied. Sometimes I missed that man. He wasn't strict as my mum, and if he were here, he would surely convince her. A sigh escape my lips. If he weren't too busy... "She's really a pain in the bum, isn't she?" Granny asked, making me sit back and nodded. "Yeah." I breathed. "You know, she was the same thing as you. But though, she was more stubborn." Well, I wasn't expecting that. I honestly thought she was kind of goody-goody type. "Really?" I asked with amusement in my voice. Granny chuckled. "Yeah... You know when she was the same age as you, she caused a lot of trouble in this neighborhood with your father." "How come?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Well, you can say you were both have the same situation. She and your father were best friends. Kinda... Punk? If that's what kids called that these days? They both wearing eyeliner and piercing in their noses." "Yeah, definitely they're punks." Wow. Again, I never expecting that. "They were best friends just like you and Harry. But then one day, it just happened that those two were dating." "Wow." I mused. "She never told me that, nor my dad is!" "Maybe because they were both too busy with their works." She shrugged. "So technically, it could happen between you and Harry too." With a blush, I told her, "we're just friends." "Oh shush! Don't lie to me! Your cousin told me everything." I groaned. "I'm going to kill that faggot!" I forgot, I told Leeroy everything about Harry. Leeroy was my gay cousin and also one of my closest friends like Nathalie and Zayn. So definitely, I told him everything. But sometimes I want to punch his face for not keeping his mouth shut. "Faggot? I thought no one ever say that word these days?" Granny joked with a smirk on her face. I laughed. "Who are you? Channing Taitum?" We both laughed. "So anyway," Granny stated. "It's true? Isn't it?" I nodded with closed eyes. Maybe it wasn't bad if I told Granny about this. "Does he knows?" "No he had a girlfriend." "Oh." Grandma breathed. "Do you have a plan of telling him someday." I shrugged. "Maybe." She smirked. "Well, you should! He have to know." "He had a girlfriend." I repeated. "Well darling, sometimes people who are together, weren't really meant for each other."
