*HARVEYS POV*
A few days had passed since Charlotte had given me the news it had sunk in but was still annoying. It was Friday and Charl was stopping at mine we ordered pizzas and watched films in my room. I had done some editing while Charl was watching the rest of the film it had gotten really late and we had decided to go out either bowling or cinema and get something to eat tomorrow. It got to about 12:30 and we decided to get some sleep. Yes me and Charl sleep in the same bed that's because we know we will never be more than friends so it doesn't matter.
The next morning we woke up and decided to go out at 12 it was now 9:30. We are going bowling then to get some lunch. We both showered and got dressed and ready I was wearing blue skinny jeans, white tshirt and a pair of white Giuseppe Zanotti trainers. Charl was wearing white skinny jeans, a long stripy silky shirt and some slightly heeled boots, we took a quick selfie then were ready. It was now 12 so we wasn't too late the bowling we haven't booked but I don't think it will be busy. I grabbed my phone and looked for my wallet I couldn't find it so I assumed it was downstairs then walked downstairs with Charl behind me. I could hear talking in the living room and as I reached the bottom of the stair the talking had stopped we walked in to the living room and there was a family sat on the sofa it took a while to click until I realised it was the man who is working for dad and his family.
"Oh hi, I'm Harvey" I smiled at the most gorgeous girl sat on the sofa. Charl hit me as if to stop me from staring.
"Hi, I'm Simon this is my wife Jane and our daughter Gabriella" he said standing up to shake my hand. Jane and gabby both said hello. The all looked up to Charlotte.
"Oh sorry this is Charlotte my best friend" we both smiled. Which they all returned.
"Where are you two going?" My dad asked
"We were gonna go bowling and get some lunch if i can find my bloody wallet" I replied thinking me wouldn't want us to go anymore.
"Oh right what time will you be back? And it's over there" he said pointing to the table next to Gabriella. I walked over grabbed it then smiled at her and shoved it in my pocket,
"Probably about 3 or 4" Charlie came running up to me and i picked him up
"Can I come pwease harwey?" I looked at my dad as if I was asking him
"If he wants to go he can. Gabriella do you want to go?" I nodded to say it was okay for her to go.
"Erm... No It okay but Thankyou" she replied politely.
"Are you sure" I asked
"He will pay" my dad laughed winking
"Yeah come on"
"Go on Gabby" her dad encouraged.
"Okay, okay" she agreed and I was glad I need to get to know this girl
"How are you getting there? Do you want a lift?" My dad offered
"No it's fine I ordered a car..." I looked at my phone.
"It will be here in 5 minutes" I smiled, everyone got there jackets and shoes on. We chatted with them for a while until the car got here. I got a call to say my car was here. Gabriella and here family had arrived this morning and were staying at our house that night.
"Right lets go" I picked up Charlie and we walked out. I unlocked the gates as we approached the car I put Charlie in the middle then Charlotte and Gabriella sat either side while I sat in the front. I turned in my seat and started to ask Gabriella about herself.
"So Gabriella you're 16 right?"
"Call me gabby or gabs and yes I am" she smiled
We just made little convocation until we got to the marina. We arrived and decided to go bowling we put names on the board and began to play.
"So are you gonna find it difficult moving away from at you're friends back home?" I asked while Charl was bowling
"I guess but I don't mind really I'll just make new friends" she gave me a genuine smile so I returned.
"Harwey will you hewp me?" Charlie asked me grabbing my hand.
"Sure little man" I said smiling at him he really was an amazing little boy, we grabbed the frame and the ball, I held him up so he could push it properly after he pushed I placed him down, he got 7 pins down.
"Harwey look" he pointed to the pins he knocked down
"Wow bro that's amazing" he high fives me and we get the ball and give him his second bowl. This time he gets none, then it was my go and of course I got a strike. Charlie got excited for me and jumped on me I was laughing. Me and Charl were so close it is mad he is literally my best friend. Everyone had a few more goes and then I sat back down with gabby.
"Charl, Charlotte will help you with this one buddy" he smiled and ran to Charlotte.
"You're so amazing with him" gabby compliments me
"Thanks after everything he is so strong he got me through so much, I love him to bits" I watched him push the ball and high five Charlotte.
Gabby smiled" if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean?"
"After what happened with my mom I kind of hit rock bottom" I frowned gabby noticed and put her hand on my shoulder
"You don't have to tell me now Harvey"
I nodded
~~~~~~~~
We got into pizza express and sat down, after we ordered we all just laughed and chatted until we had finished. I ordered us an uber to get us home it was going to be at least 20 minutes.
"Harwey can we go in there pwease?" Had asked pointing to the arcade.
"Yeah course buddy" he grabbed my hand a dragged us in Charlotte and gabby were walking behind up chatting away.
"Here Charlie let me get some change" I went to the machine and changed a £20 for coins and put £10 in a pot for Charlie. We played on the machines until I got a call for the car, we soon arrived back at home.
"Right I'll be off now Harv" Charlotte said as we got out the car.
"Oh right okay, see you later yeah" I said hugging her.
"Yeah and I'll look forward to you moving down, see you soon gabby" Charl smiled and hugged gabby. Then said her goodbyes to Charlie and walked home.
"She seems cool" gabby said
"Yeah she's pretty a amazing best friend" I smiled. I picked up Charlie as we walked in.
"Come on mate"I said to Charlie as he yawned.
We walked in and sat down it was about 5 gosh we had been out a while. As we got in we all flopped on the sofa with my dad and gabbys parents. There was a knock on the door and dad went to answer it.
"Harvey it's Toni" my dad shouted I huffed, threw my head back and the stood up.
"Hey what's up" I said forcing a smile on my face
"Nothing baby I thought me and you could 'hang out'" I cringed when she said that knowing everyone in the living room could hear
"Nah not tonight Toni" I tried to close the door
"Okay gorgeous don't I get a hug and a kiss at lease" I stepped outside gave her a hug and a kiss.
"I've really gotta get back, see ya" I closed the door behind and sighed.
"What did she want?" My dad asked
"To hang out" I laughed
"Oh, Toni is Harvey's 'girlfriend'" Justin laughed as he air quoted, I'm sure gabs just frowned which kinda made me smile
"What do you mean 'girlfriend'" Simon questioned
"Rocky terms you could say, I'm not to keen on the relationship but she won't let go" I sighed
"Oh right, you're a heartbreaker then" Jane laughed
"You could say that" I laughed "nah not really shes just a bit to clingy"
We just chatted about rubbish for ages.
"Dad what time are the twins back?" I questions
"Soon why?"
"I want joe to get on the bikes for a bit" I said getting up. It was about 6:00 its summer so it doesn't get dark till late and me and joe always mess about on the quads and dirt bikes on the track.
Soon I heard the twins walk in they dropped their stuff and came through to the living room.
"Hey I'm Lilly" she greeted smiling
"Joe" he waved then turned to look and the sofa I was on with gabs next to me and his jaw dropped and he started I hit him in the stomach and he jumped
"Don't stare"
"Track?" Joe mentioned reading my mind
"Brother you read my mind" it had not long been joes birthday so he just got his new quad.
"Dad is that okay?" We both looked
"Sure we can sit outside for a bit?" He looked at Simon and Jane which they replied with a sure.
