Always (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter Ten: Today

Harry told me everything that happened before, and after he called me that night. After he finished, he said, "And that's what happened. I never wanted to do it, but I had to." he sighed, relieved to finally be able to let it all out.

I take a moment to breath, and take in all he told me.

"How do I know you're not just making up a story to get me to forgive you?" I said, looking straight at him. "Look Kellie, I really really really want you to forgive me, but I would never lie aboout this to you." he said, combing his hair back.

I breath inwardly and shrug. "I don't know Harry.. What do you want me to say? That I forgive you? Because you know me, and I don't forgive people that easily." I said, focusing on the swing, steadily going back and forth.

"I know, kells. I know. All I want, all I've wanted for a really long time is to be your best friend again." Harry said, looking at the ground.

I shake my head a little, though he probably can't see, since he's too focused on the leaf on the ground trying to escape the grasp of his foot.

"I need time, Harry. To process all of this." I said, putting a hand on his, "but I promise I will try to see things from your point of view." I said.

He looks at my hand on his and smiles slightly, before looking me right in the eye and says, "I really do hope you'd give me a chance. I really do miss you."

I give him a small smile, and stand up, him following my actions. "Well I've got to go, Paul would get pissed if I stayed out too late." Harry said. "Okay, I should get going too. bye." I said smiling at him a bit. He smiles back and says goodbye, then I turn and start going the other way, to the parking lot where my car is.

I'm halfway there, when arms wrap around my waist, "I forgot this" harry whispers against my neck as he takes my phone from my pocket and adds his number to my phone. My breath hitches, his body still against mine. "Here let's take a picture" he said and raises my phone up infront of us. "Smile."

I grin just before the camera goes off.

I turn around and see Harry smiling at our picture. "You are such a loser, Styles." I said, smiling a bit. He looks up from the phone and sticks his tongue out at me, causing me to laugh. "I'm sending this picture to my phone, so wait a bit! Also, I'm sending this because who knows when you'll call? Then I won't have your number forever!" he said, pouting.

I smile. God, I missed him. But I can't let him know that yet.

After a minute his phone started vibrating, and he took it out with his other hand and smiling. "Well now that I have your number, I should probably get going." he said, smiling, handing me my mobile back. "Bye Kells! Call me!"

"Haha, in your dreams." I say sarcastically.

I'm about to get into my car when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, If this is harry I'm gonna kill him. I take it out and see that it's a message from Logan.

From: Logan

Hey kellie! I miss you so muuuch :( I'm free the day after tomorrow so I was hoping we could go out on that day? yeah? Love you.

I smile and reply, "yeah sure we can babe! I love you too!". I put my phone back in my pocket and take my keys out and open the car door. I slide in, turn the engine on, and hum autumn leaves until I am out of the parking lot.

It only took me about 20 minutes to get home, since there wasn't really anybody on the road. When I get home my mum was nowhere to be found, but I found a note stuck to the refrigerator door.

Kellie, I have a few things to take care of tonight and I won't be home till' tomorrow morning, there's 20 dollars on the counter, use it ONLY for dinner and put the change in my dresser. (if there actually is change)

xxxMum

Yes! I have the house all to myself! Time to party!

Kidding. I have no friends. Except Logan and Jonah.

Jonah! I take my mobile out of my pocket, and dial Jonah's number. After the fifth ring he finally answers. "Hello?" he answers sleepily. I laugh, "It's the late afternoon, Jonah, please tell me you weren't sleeping all morning."

"I was not. Well yeah I was, duh I party all night sleep all day" he said a matter-of-factly, I laugh, "Well okay, mister life of the party! Come over please!" I said. "Well I don't-" he started but I cut him off, "I have twenty bucks for food!" I said. "I'll be there in fifteen." he said. I laughed "okay bye". "bye kells."

I fall on the couch, exhausted. I get a text from my phone and I take it out to see who it's from.

From: Hairy Harry

I laugh at the name he put and continue to read the message.

Hey, beautiful! Did you decide to forgive me yet?

I laugh, "Not yet, kid. You have to work hard for it, remember?" I replied.

I run upstairs to my room and change into a gray cropped muscle tee and a knit sweater over it, a pair of grey sweats and flip flops. I get my charger from my desk and plug it in and charge my phone. I go back downstairs and sit on the couch, waiting fo Jonah to arrive.

"I brought movies!" Jonah shouts as I open the door, smiling wildly at him. "Let the party begin!" I shout.
