Steal My Girl

Chapter 15 - Moonlight

Oh thank God, it was just Harry. I set the knife down.

"You gave me a heart attack. I thought you were a burglar or something!" I whisper yelled.

"Oh my lord what if I was. Why didn't you run? What were you gonna do Dylan stab me. Do you know how dangerous that'd be?!" he exclaimed.

"If I had to yes, why do you care anyways. And besides what are you doing awake anyways?"

"I couldn't sleep. You?"

"I'm a light sleeper and someone's snoring."

"It's probably Michael," he said chuckling. "We've somehow learned how to tune it out."

"Well if we keep having sleep overs like this, I guess I'll learn how too," I said joining.

We chuckled softly in the kitchen as the moonlight streamed through the windows. We stopped shortly after and stood in silence, staring at each other. I cleared my throat quickly grabbing my glass of water taking a sip.

"Soooo, how've you been? We haven't really had a real conversation since I left, unless you count a hi as one," he said as he scratched the back f his neck.

"Oh uhm I've been good! Other than finishing high school and hanging out with friends, I haven't been doing to much. What about you? How are things with you and Nat?"

"They're uh good. I've been writing some new songs, and trying to relax before the tour starts. And things between your sister and I are well great too I guess," he replied smiling lightly.

"Oh that's great. I can't wait to hear all of your new songs."

"So, have you thought about you coming on tour with us?" he questioned.

"I want to but I don't know. Liam suggested that I could be your your photographer, but they probably want a professional to do that, so there'd be no reason for me to go."

"You should! You're so talented, dont underestimate yourself because I know you would do an amazing job."

"Thanks Harry, but I'd still have to think about it and even if I did say yes I'd still have to be interviewed and they'd have to see if I'm good enough."

"Thats true, but I know they'd say yes. I hope you come, it's not the same without you," he said standing up. "I-we missed you."

"I missed you guys too," I replied.

"Well I'm gonna head back to bed before Nat wakes up," he said walking to the base of the stairs.

"Goodnight Dylan."

"Goodnight Harry."

I waited until I heard the bedroom door close from upstairs before I dared to let out another breath. I could feel my heart finally slowing down. I'd love to go on tour with the boys, but it'd break my heart to see the boy I can't let go of with someone else.

But then again...maybe I'll find someone new...
