Message in a Bottle

Today (6)

Chapter 6

*Harry's POV*

I wake up on my black sofa with the remote cradled in my fists, the television's still on and a re-run of Full House is playing. The large window across the living room is letting in a bright light through out mine and Louis' flat. I wipe my eyes with my hands hoping it will wake me up a bit, when it doesn't I stumble up and walk into the bathroom.

I flip the switch on and my eyes take a moment to adjust to the change in lighting. Once I regain my sight, I turn on the faucet and feel the warm water drizzle onto my fingertips. I splash it up on my face and look in the mirror above the sink. My hair is more tangled than usual considering I had just woken up, my face appears pale and then a sudden smile flashes onto my face once I realize what today is.

I am going to be meeting Ciara at 7 o'clock today.

I still cannot wait to see the look on her face when she finds out she's going on a date with me. It's going to be one of those priceless moments that you wish you could snap a picture of, just so you can cherish that moment forever. I look at a white clock that's hanging on the bathroom's beige walls and I can already tell that the four hours until 7 PM will take ages to pass by.

I can't help but wonder what color her hair is. What color her eyes are. I've been trying to picture someone in my mind for the last day now, but I don't want to make an amazing fantasy woman and then get my hopes up. My hopes have been getting let down a lot recently. I have a weird feeling that I can't simply shake off though. It's a deep emotion inside of me, building up. I felt almost as if today was going to change my life forever, it seems like today is the last day I'll wake up in this life and tomorrow I'll wake up in a whole brand new life.

But who knows? I haven't been the same since the break up.

"You woke up really late," Louis' voice sounds in my ear but he seems so distant. I turn to him, he was standing in the doorway in his plaid boxers and a white T-shirt, "everything okay?"

"Yeah," I shake my thoughts out of my over whelmed brain and begin rubbing my eyes again. I glance down and realize that the water is still running down the drain, I quickly turn the handles and the water comes to an abrupt stop.

"Excited?" He asks while staring at me intently.

It takes me a second to figure out what he means by that but then I remember he knows about my date, "yeah," I give out a laugh to try and lighten the dim mood.

"Me too, you really need to get out more Harry, ever since you and Ma-" I cut him off.

I already knew what he was leading onto say. "I do go out," I shoot back.

"Yeah, to bars. I mean, I'm glad you're going out with someone and not just to a club," he gives me a weak smile and I try to return one back, but I just can't get my lips to form a smile. "You still love Maggie, I can see it."

My heart starts to thump wildly in my chest, Maggie. Maggie was my ex-girlfriend who has been a life long friend to me, I've known her since middle school. Last month, in June, Maggie did something unforgivable. I know I still had feelings for her but with what she did, I just couldn't even have myself to look at her without feeling regret and hurt. I need to meet somebody new, just so I can get my focus off of her.

"No, I don't," I lie.

Louis knows when I'm lying so it only took a second for him to protest back, "yes you do Haz, don't you dare lie to me."

I grin for a second but then it droops, I have trust issues I guess you can say. It seems like every girl I meet does something to hurt me, I give them all the love I own but the only thing I get in return is a broken heart.

"Well, yeah. I dated her for a few months, but I feel like something good is going to happen about something, I don't know anymore..." My voice trails off and I look back into the mirror's reflection.

Louis looks around the bathroom, I could hear his hands fiddling with the door frame, "no Harry, I feel like something good is going to happen too."
