Chaper 14

Chapter 14.

My alarm wakes me up from my first peaceful sleep in nights. I shut it off and stay in bed, not ready to go back to school. Just as I’m about to fall back to sleep, someone decides to call me and my phone starts ringing like a little bitch. I look at the screen and see dad’s photo on it.

‘’What?’’ I groan with a pout that he can’t even see.

‘’Get dressed, I’m driving you to school.’’ He says before hanging up. Well, good morning to you too.

I sigh deeply before dragging myself out of bed and walking into my closet. I put on some dark skinny jeans, a t-shirt that says ‘love is a drug’ and grab a sweater. I slip my feet into my Ugg’s and move myself to the bathroom to fix my morning face. Within ten minutes I leave my room and shut the door behind me.

‘’ ‘Morning.’’ I hear from the other side of the hallway. Harry Is shutting his door behind me, being completely dressed.

‘’Hey, you’re up early.’’ I frown, looking at my watch to see that it’s only 07.45. ‘’Yeah, I’ve got to help your dad with some stuff.’’ He chuckles and walks towards me. ‘’Oh… Okay.’’ I don’t know what to say. Was he really going to kiss me last night, or were my hormones just making a big fool of me? We walk downstairs without talking and enter the kitchen where breakfast is already waiting for us.

‘’You’ve got a nice ass in those jeans.’’ Harry whispers as I sit down on a stool. I punch his shoulder while I feel my face turn completely red. ‘’Ah, fuck.’’ He quietly groans, putting his hand on his shoulder. It’s then that I realize he got shot in that exact same shoulder. ‘’Oh my God, I’m so sorry!’’ I gasp with my hand covering my mouth.

I move his shirt away from his shoulder so I can see the wound. ‘’It’s okay, I kind of deserved it.’’ He chuckles. I look up at him with my hand still on his chest. ‘’It looks better.’’ I tell him, but of course he already knew that; It’s his chest. His inked, muscled chest. ‘’Yeah, I know.’’ He chuckles. I quickly take my hand off his chest and sit down on my stool again. God, I’m making myself look so damn stupid!

‘’What’s that?’’ Harry asks as he looks at the small poster laying on my folder. ‘’Oh, some invitation for a party from one of my friends.’’ I shrug. I hadn’t even realized I took it with my books. ‘’You’re going?’’ He asks, looking up from the invitation. ‘’No, I don’t think so.’’ I take a bite of my fruit salad and put my chin on the palm of my hand. ‘’Why not? I thought you liked your friends.’’ He slightly laughs as he lays back the invitation. ‘’Yeah, they’re so honest and sweet.’’ I say sarcastically before taking a sip from my orange juice.

My phone, laying on the breakfast bar, starts buzzing and the face I didn’t want to see appears on my screen. ‘’What a surprise.’’ Harry mumbles as he also sees Ryan’s photo. There are still small, pink hearts around his name. ‘’Should I take it?’’ I hesitatingly ask Harry, even though I already know what his answer will be.

Without waiting for an answer I answer and mumble a ‘hello’. ‘’Hey, I’m sorry for hanging up on you like that.’’ He sounds quite uncomfortable, embarressed almost, and he should be. ‘’Why did you?’’ I ask him, feeling quite uncomfortable under Harry’s gaze. ‘’I just… I needed to calm down.’’

Fucking liar, you were probably with that slut.

‘’Okay… Well, I don’t really know what to say.’’ Harry chuckles and I throw a piece of banana to his head, which he catches with his mouth. I can’t help but laugh at the side but roll my eyes at the same time. ‘’We can try to work this out.’’ Ryan almost begs me. ‘’No, I don’t think we can Ryan.’’ I sigh.
