All That Matters

Chapter 5

I feel my eyes getting heavy. I'm so out of it. I hardly even know what movie we're watching. I'm sitting next to Harry who hasn't even really spoken since we got inside and the other boys kind of watch us almost.

Are we a thing now? Or was it no big deal for him? He comes across as the kind of guy that enjoys kissing one girl then sleeping with another the next day.

I feel myself slowly drift, and as I do I feel Harry's arm wrap around me and pull me closer to him so my head is on his chest. I definitely don't try and stop him. He smells so nice, like peppermint and cherries... I don't even know but it's a amazing.

I'm immediately comforted and at peace. Something about him is so peaceful and welcoming, yet unfamiliar.

Right as I'm about to give in to the sleep that keeps pulling at me, I hear Zayn speak up.

"Is she asleep?" he asks.

"Yeah," Harry replies flatly.

"So you kissed her?" Liam asks. I pretend to be asleep just to hear what he has to say. Maybe he can clear up my confusion? Just a day ago I thought we hated each other but now...?

"Yeah, I wasn't planning on it but I opened the door for her and something about the way she just is so... So innocent and shy..." I've never heard Harry say so many words in my life time. Especially nice words; But the sound of his deep raspy british accent send the shock through me and my heart beats faster. He just does something to me that I can't explain.

"You know, Louis will murder you if he finds out." I hear Niall input.

Oh no... What am I going to tell Louis?

"Yeah," Harry replies. "I don't care. It's just a kiss, it doesn't mean that much," He rests his hand on the small of my back. "I never talk to Louis anyway." he adds.

I try to stay awake to hear the rest of the conversation, but the last thing I hear before drifting off is Niall's voice:

"What about the Circle?"

Harry's pov:

I hear her gentle snoring as she sleeps on my chest. She has a cute way of puffing out every time she exhales.

I shake my head. Why am I thinking this? I've never called a girl 'cute' before.

What's happening to me?

I've only known her for a week but it feels like forever. But she can't know that. No one can.

I thought she hated me until she actually kissed me back. I think it shocked her just as much as it shocked me.

I hope They didn't see.

And this is why I can't be in relationships with one girl for long. Because They always try for revenge. I wish They would just leave me alone and let me live my life again- but no. One small mistake has changed everything. And now The Circle will stop at nothing.
