This is really happening | Haylor

Right After

''A he?'' I shouted. I couldnt quite processs this news.

''Yes Tay a dude....''

''oh. well. wow.'' I mumbled.

Harry nodded.

''Am I that ugly?! He has to pick a dude over me!!!!'' I whined.

''Oh come on TayTay stop acting stupid!!!''

''What?!'' I yelled.

''He's drunk off his ass!'' said Harry.

''Don't you see it?'' He continued, sitting down on the curb next to me.

''Oh yeah .. I guess.'' I muttered realizing that he was right.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath in and let it out. I then hugged my legs and rested my chin on my knees then turned my head up to look at Harry. He was looking at me as he rubbed his hands together. I noticed how long his legs were, so long that they looked like spider's legs. I smiled to the thought.

''Should we go?'' I asked.

''Yeah, it's chilly out here.'' he said pushing himself up and pulling me with him.

''So what am I going to do about Josh?'' I asked Harry silently as we were walking back home.

''I'd say ignore him and if he asks just say you guys aren't really a thing.''

''Isn't' that kinda mean? As in not tell him anything.'' I responded.

''He wasn't thinking about your feelings when he was sticking his tongue down some kids throat!'

''yeah I guess'' I said softly realizing how naïve I can be. I shouldn't care about stupid Josh, why should he tie me down to nothing? Why did I even take so long to realize this? God I'm stupid!!!

''Yep.''

''Wait what?'' I asked surprisingly.

''You are stupid.'' Responded Harry.

''Didn't even realize I said that out loud.'' I said with a giggle.

Harry gave me a very obvious smirk so i looked down and kept walking silently. God this kid is moody.

The next morning I woke up with a massive headache. For a few seconds things were serene, until the thought of Josh kissing some dude crept back into my head and then feelings of worry and anxiety seemed to fill my body like an empty glass of water that was suddenly overflowed with liquid. What was I to do? Should I confront him? Should I do what Harry told me to and just ignore him? I simply couldn't, I'm not the kind of person to do so, this will be on my mind until I get answers but confrontation wasn't a friend of mine so I decided to ask Selena. She'll know what to do. Therefore after breakfast I went up to my room taking the home phone with me and making sure to close the door behind me as I certainly didn't want anyone to hear about this. I called but no one seemed to answer, I guess no one was home. I didn't bother call on her cell, this is something I want to discuss and I didn't want to waste money calling from our home phone to a cell phone as this was no emergency, it could definitely wait. I looked outside my window at the pretty blue skies and then down at my bedroom floor. I needed to get out of here. Anywhere would be better than here. I put some shoes on and headed out.

Standing in the middle of the pavement I looked both to my left and my right wondering where to go. I then decided to go to the only person who knew what was wrong, Harry.

I walked up the front porch steps and knocked lightly a couple of times.

''Who is it?'' said a muffled voice. It was a woman's.

''I'm a friend of Harry's.'' I answered loudly so she could hear me. At this point I was feeling quite anxious. What the hell was I doing here? It's not like me and Harry where close friends. I shouldn't have just shown up at his doorstep uninvited. Oh God what was I thinking?

The door opened slowly. On the other side stood Harry's mum. Her face lit up and she instantly gave me a hug.

''Oh Taylor i'm so happy to see you! Come in, Come in don't be shy, don't mind the mess we're still in progress of getting things all done.''

She talked and talked and it was quite funny but also quite cute. When I was younger she was like my second mum. I was the daughter she never had I guess.

''Yeah I thought I could see Harry a bit, I need to talk to him about something.'' I said trying to catch her attention but she was already making me tea, even though she didn't even ask.

''Yeah he should be here soon I sent him to get me some things for lunch. You can sit down. Make yourself comfortable.'' She said.

I sat down on one of the chairs around the kitchen table, she then poured us both some tea and gave me some really delicious cake. We talked about the move here and how the town has changed and all that kind of stuff. It was pleasant and for a while it took the whole Josh thing out of my mind.

I suddenly heard the door open and shut.

''He must be here.'' She remarked.

''Hey mum they didn't have the''

''Hi'' I stated blankly as he entered the kitchen.

''Uhm hey....... what are you doing here?'' asked Harry looking very surprised to see me.

''I just uhm needed to talk to you about something.''

''YOU needed to talk to ME?'' asked Harry emphasizing on the word you and me.

''Yeah'' I responded silently. Coming here was a bad idea, wasn't it?

Harry smirked.

Seems like a bad idea alright.
