Patch Our Hearts

Chapter 16

Carina's P.O.V.

I stood by Abby, explaining how long we've been standing in line, and some of the stuff Ryder and I discussed.

"Uh huh," Abby said, her eyes distant and looking everywhere but at me.

"Erm, are you okay?" I asked cautiously.

Abby had pretended to be "sick" this morning just to avoid riding in the car with Harry, the guys and I. I knew her better then that to actually believe her lie, but I've learn to know Abby has a way with things. Then she shows up with Nolan, and I could practically see the confusion and jealousy rolling off of Harry.

I noticed the line had moved forward and so I took a step sideways to move up, and Abby stepped along with me.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just nervous." Abby said, picking at her fingers.

"Dude," I said, and Abby rolled her eyes. She hates it so much when I say 'Guy Stuff', as she calls it. "It's all g, calm down. What's the worst that can happen?"

Abby shrugged, "Nothing really, I guess."

She smiled and I could tell she was lightening up. On the other hand, I was anxious about how we were all going to ride. Probably as a group, or maybe Harry and Abby and the rest of us? I don't know.

I took another step forward and we were the second group in line. Then I realized I didn't have any tickets, or money to be exact.

Spinning around to tell the guys, Louis smirked and handed me a ticket as well as one to the others.

"We got it," Louis said, cutting me off from any objecting.

I thanked him and the boys quietly, turning around as the guys and I got into the black and gray framed bubble. It was a little clear type of ball, with a white platform on the bottom.

Stepping inside, I realized Abby wasn't with us.

"Abb-" I started to ask, but Ryder quieted me by nodding his head towards Harry and Abby, getting into another bubble.

Oh my God, Abby has got to be freaking out. I smiled, happy for her. I looked back at Ryder, who smiling looking at them.

"You know it's been a while since Harry has felt this way about someone," Ryder informed me.

"Same with Abby," I replied, smiling at the two.

"Yeah," Ryder mumbled, his eyes looking distant, in another place that only he knew of.

A worker closed the door to the clear bubble, and did the same to Abby and Harry's.

We started to move, and I swear the view was breathtaking, all of London lie out in front of us. Big Ben stood tall, illuminating a deep black shadow among very thing behind it.

"Oh my God." I murmured, getting closer to the windows, pressing a hand to the glass.

"I know," Nolan chorused, smiling, along with the others.

Abby's P.O.V.

We were second in line and Louis handed Harry two tickets. Harry turned to me and handed me the white card stocked ticket.

Everyone boarded the giant bubble, and as I started to follow them, Harry lightly grabbed my hand, holding my hand.

I almost threw up on the spot, damn "butterflies", but looked over to Harry. Why couldn't we go with everyone else?

Harry let go of my hand as we were escorted to another bubble. I stepped inside, along with Harry, as he door shut behind us. The London Eye started to move in a slow pace. The view was heart-stopping. Underneath us the River Thames (A/N: Google Maps), boats of all different sizes and colors scattered everywhere. I pushed closer to the window of to see down below.
