- chapter nine -

A/N
I decided to put a picture of the outfit Mia is wearing at the beginning of the chapter  as I feel like it would be easier to imagine her but I'll still describe the outfit because I know that media doesn't load when you're reading the story offline. Also I don't really know where the story is going so pm me any ideas you have and I'll maybe include them.

The next couple of days went by without anything happening. Simon stayed over for the night to comfort me and then went back home. Harry came round mine to see how I was, we had a long awaited conversation about the kiss we had, I told him I still want to be friends with him and I can get over the kiss. After that we talked for hours about pointless things, just getting to know each other better. I really like Harry but I'm with Simon, nothing could ever happen between Harry and I; it wouldn't be fair on Simon.

It was the last day of the half-term holidays. I was chilling out watching American Horror Story when I got a text from Simon.

S: hey do you wanna meet up?

M: sure, where?

S: actually I'll come pick you up, I'll be there in 30 mins. Dress cute x

M: okay haha see you soon x

I got out of the comfort of my bed and changed into a white lacy skirt me a pastel pink crop top. I then put on my pink choker necklace and my pink trainers. I then brushed my hair and put my sunglasses on my head. I put on some basic makeup, foundation, concealer, bronzer and eyeliner.
I had ten minutes to spare so I browsed Instagram.
Ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door so walked up to it and opened it to reveal Simon standing there. I smiled up at him and grabbed my bag. He took my hand in his and lead me out the door to his car.
"Are you going to tell me where we are going Simon?" I asked, giggling slightly.
"Nope, it's a surprise" he replied smirking.
"Fine, but you know I hate surprises"I said, unable to stop smiling.
The car journey wasn't too long, about thirty minutes or so. All the way I insisted on blasting Melanie Martinez on full volume and singing along and dancing. Simon kept on looking over at me and laughing to himself, I wonder why.
When we got to our destination Simon told me to put on a blindfold. He guided me out the car by my hand and held onto my waist while we walked down a path.
"Simon can I take it off now" I asked.
"Not yet Mia, stop being so impatient" he replied chuckling.
"Pleeaaassee" I begged, but with no hope as he just stopped and started tickling me. "Simon, stop I can't handle it please"
"Say you're sorry for being impatient" when I didn't say anything he tickled me harder "say it!" He said, unable to stop laughing and me wriggling uncontrollably.
"Fine" I said, completely out of breath from laughing "I'm sorry for being impatient"
"That wasn't so hard was it?"
Simon picked me up off the floor and carried on guiding me. About a minute later he stopped again and took my blindfold off.
"Where are we?" I asked, looking around at the empty forest clearing "have you brought me here to murder me or something?"
"No, look up" he said and when I looked up I saw that the trees on the outskirts of the clearing had platforms, tree houses and paths which joined them all together.
"Simon, it's beautiful but how do we get up?"
"The staircase, duh" he replied, pointing to a case of stairs behind a tree.
"Oh" I said, feeling quite stupid that I didn't see it before.
We walked towards the staircase and walked up it, Simon letting me go first. When I got to the top I saw a blanket with a picnic basket on it. Around the treehouse were fairy lights, a lot of fairy lights.
"Simon, did you do all this?"
"Well, the tree houses and stuff was here already but I decorated it myself"
"Wow, it looks amazing"
We sat down on the blanket and ate the picnic, there were little sandwiches and strawberries and tea cakes etc. It was so cute. Once we were finished we walked along the paths interlocking the trees.
We were there for a few hours, just messing around. It was starting to get cold and me being stupid forgot to bring a jacket. Simon let me borrow his but then he got cold so we decided to go home. He dropped me off at my house and then drove back to his.
Once I got home I went to the kitchen to get a drink but when I got there I found someone sitting at the island.
"Harry?" I asked, completely shocked "what are you doing here?"
"Well I came to see you but you were out so I decided to wait until you came back" he said, smiling slightly.
"But how did you get in, I thought I locked the door"
"You must have forgotten, it was unlocked when I got here"
"Oh, so what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, I wanted to talk about you and Simon" he said am awkwardly "and about you and I"
"Harry we've already spoken about this, Simon and I are together and we're just friends, we can't be more than that."
"I know, I just wanna talk"
"There's nothing to talk about Harry"
"There's so much to talk about. I love you Mia, I've loved you for ages. I hate that I love you because I know I can't have you but I just need you to decide for good. Me or Simon?"
"Harry I-" I said completely bewildered. "I can't, I can't just up and leave Simon but I don't want to lose you"
"Mia I need to know, I can't keep talking to you when I know you love someone else. If we were together id put my life into you Mia. I love you so much and I can't bear the thought of losing you" Harry said, his voice cracking at the end. I could tell he was trying not to cry.
"I can't Harry, you know I can't"
"I need you to Mia"
"I'm sorry"
I turned around to leave, stopping in the doorway.
"Harry I think you should leave"
"Just give me a chance Mia" he said and walked closer towards me. He cupped my face in his hands and started to lean in.
"Harry, you can't-" before I could finish off my sentence his lips connected with mine. It felt nice, like electricity was coursing through my veins. I felt something for Harry which I had never felt for anyone else before. The kiss was getting more heated the longer it went on. After a couple of minutes he broke the kiss and looked down into my eyes.
"I shouldn't have done that Harry" I said and turned away. I walked up to my room and sat down on my bed, contemplating my feelings towards Harry.
The bedroom door opened and Harry walked in.
"Harry you can't be in my room"
"Don't worry, I'll leave soon" he replied. He walked over and sat down next to me, looking into my eyes. I looked into his and knew that I liked him, I knew that I loved him. I leaned in to kiss him, which took him by surprise but he didn't object. He lied me down and leaned on top of me. We continued kissing for a while, until our lips were red.
"Mia" he said "I love you"
"I love you too Harry" I replied quietly, hoping he wouldn't hear.
"What?"
"Um, I love you Harry" I said again.
A huge smile spread across his face and he hugged me. I lay there in his arms, my head resting on his chest, until I fell asleep.
