Chapter 1 - School Time

I re-read the letter, taking everything in.

16 things to do before your 18th! Harry Style;)

Get detention

Crash a party

Fall in Love

Pull a prank on a teacher

Get into a club

Get a piercing

Go on holiday with friends

Skip school

Let a pig loose in the school (Where you'll get one.. I have no idea)

Get very drunk

Get a tattoo

Get into a fight (my personal favourite)

Act like a complete idiot in front of everyone at school

Make out with a random guy at a party

Play strip poker

Say yes to absolutely everything for a day

All the things in this list screamed Harry, and I loved that. It made me think of him happy; smiling and laughing. Completing this list would make him happy, if I ever got to see him again…

Thinking that killed me. Not seeing his calming face each and every day would cause me so much harm it was untrue, and I’m not sure I could handle it. Tears sprang in my eyes before I could stop them and I started sobbing, my tears falling on the list.

* * * * * * *

About an hour later, I decided it was best I went home. Being next to the place where my brother was left in a coma would give me no help whatsoever in trying to forget about it for a while, so I got up and started walking home; I didn’t live far away.

I walked through the front door and my mum was immediately hugging me, soothing me and trying to calm my tears

“Shhhh, it’s okay. Everything’s going to be alright” she tried her best to help.

“No, no it’s not. I might never be able to speak to him again and I can’t deal with it Mum, I just can’t.” It was at that moment that I cried my eyes out, holding nothing back.

I could hear my Mum trying her best not to cry, trying to stay strong for me. I didn’t care though, she should be crying and it was what I expected. 

“I promise you he will get better… I promise” 

She shouldn’t promise things like that, they weren’t set in stone and anything could happen; even in the next 24 hours.

I walked upstairs like a zombie, numb. I led down on my bed and let sleep take me, dreaming of Harry.

* * * * * * *

I woke up with stinging eyes and a pounding headache. I got out of my bed and started to walk towards my bathroom, preparing myself for what I was about to see. Standing in front of the mirror, I took a good look at myself.

My eyes were puffy and red, black make-up running down my face and I was slightly red. The expression my face held was one of sadness; I looked completely run down.

I took a long hot shower, letting the water keep me warm instead of numb. I got out and walked downstairs, hoping that my mother wasn’t up yet; I couldn’t talk to her right now. Luckily she was at work, leaving me a note telling me she would be back late tonight and for me to make myself tea.

After I had eaten, I went back upstairs and got ready for school, not feeling it in me to go. Blue was Harry’s favourite colour, and the colour of my uniform. Trying my best not to think about him led in that bed, I put on my skirt and shirt, then carried on to do my tie. I slipped on my blazer, grabbed my bag and walked towards Dakota’s house.

“Oh my god Kara, are you okay?” she asked while giving me a bone-crushing hug.

“I’m alright I guess” I hugged her back for a few seconds then pulled away, looking at her and giving her a sad smile.

“Come on, let’s go before we’re late.”

We walked to school, talking all the way with Dakota, cheering me up and taking my mind off Harry. Halfway there, I brought up the list.

“Harry gave me something while I was there” I said whilst pulling the paper out of my bag.

“Oooh, show me show me!” she started to get giddy so I laughed quietly at her.

“It’s a list: 16 Things to do before your 18th! Harry style” I read the title out loud then passed it to her.

She was quiet for a few minutes as she read it through and processed what it said. Then it was like a light bulb went off in her head and she snapped her head towards me.

“I’ll do it with you! It will be so much fun, plus then it will be easier for you and then I can give something to Harry as well” she said smiling at me.

Dakota and Harry are really close, almost as close as me and Dakota. We all used to hang out when we were younger so we were used to being around each other. I couldn’t take this away from her… so I said yes.

She jumped up and down squealing, happy she could help me with Harry’s list.

“Come on, we better get going or we’ll be late” I said giggling, trying to calm her down.

* * * * * * *

Luckily, we weren’t late. We met Stacey, Dom and Lucas at our hang-out spot, just like we did every morning and sat there talking.

Dakota, Stacey, Dom and Lucas are my best friends. We went to Primary School together and ended up being in the same form here, pure luck of course. Dom and Lucas are like brothers and hang out all the time; growing up together means they are never apart. Dakota, Stacey and I are best friends and are constantly at one another’s houses. Stacey and Lucas have been going out for about 5 months now and are as happy as can be.

After about 10 minutes, the warning bell rang, meaning we had to head off to form. On our way there I was stopped by someone calling my name.

“Kara, Kara wait up!”

“Oh, hey Max” I turned around and gave him a smile.

“God, you look awful. Are you okay?” he asked me concerned.

“It’s Harry, he’s gotten worse” Max asking what was wrong reminded me of him, my eyes beginning to water.

“Don’t cry, everything will be fine” he walked over and gave me a hug, me leaning my head against his chest.

“I hope so” was my reply, not fully trusting myself to give a long speech about how my life would suck without Harry in it, and how I prayed with all my heart that he would make it…
