Jill's P.O.V:

"So you really think we'll be okay?" I fold my legs sitting on the bed.

"We'll kick ass." Ellie jumps on my bed joining me.

"I'm just worried we didn't have enough time to practice and it's all my fault." I groan.

"Chill bubs, we went over it like seventeen times already." Ellie bumps my shoulder. "Soo wanna rewatch old episodes of Vampire Knight?"

"Lets go hook it up downstairs the tv is bigger, nobody will bother us." I say getting off the bed, pushing my feet into my slippers. Ellie stretches across the bed. "Come on you lazy bugger." I pick up her laptop bag walking out of my room. Tediously walking down our unnecessarily long staircase. Eleanor catches up to me within seconds.

"I'm the lazy one hey." She smiles at me.

"I've just had a really tiring day." I sigh.

"Tea love, you need tea and so do I." Ellie speaks the truth.

"Right, I'll go make us tea you set up." I hand her the laptop bag as we reach the end of the staircase.



Hot tea and animae with my bestie is just what I need. I think to myself as I walk into the lounge. "We have a problem." Ellie tells me, just as I notice Holly and Kathy glued to some kids show about space. "They wouldn't even look at me, let alone listen to me." Ellie huffs sitting down on the carpet. I giggle a bit handing her, her teacup.

"Your nails are so pretty!" Holly gasps.

"Thanks. Ellie just did them for me." I walk over to the girls and they take my fingers into their little hands examining them. "You know, if you lasses give us the tv Ellie will do your nails too." I bargain with the seven year olds.

"Do do you have black?" Kathy asks looking over my shoulder at Ellie.

"Of course I do." Ellie wiggles her polished black nails at Kathy.

"Okay." Kathy agrees.

"See problem solved." I raise my eyebrows at Ellie. "I'll go get the manicure set and you finish setting up here. I tell her before quickly running up the stairs. I feel a slight breeze as I enter my room. My body shivers as I make my way over to the balcony doors. I quickly shut the door, hearing a loud crashing noise as I do. I switch on the balcony light, a little startled.
There lies Harry on the floor covered in dirt and pink tulips. I open the door quickly rushing to him.

"Bloody hell, are you alright?" I kneel at his side.

"Do I look like I'm alright?" He spits the dirt out of his mouth leaning up on his elbows.

"Don't be rude!" I huff waking up and dusting my knees. "You gave me such a fright."

"I gave you a fright." He scoffs, dusting himself.

"Yeah I though you were a burglar or something." I fold my arms feeling a bit cold.

"A burglar? In this neighbourhood?" He wakes up off the floor adjusting his clothes. "With your high walls, electric fencing and security guards?" He raises an eyebrow at me.

"Well you made it this far without getting caught." I roll my eyes.

"I'm not just anyone Juliana." Harry brushes his hair back and forth with his fingers making sure the dirt is out.

"Don't call me that. What were you doing here in the first place?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Nothing, I was just leaving." He avoids eye contact.
