A loud ringing noise echoes through Harry’s bedroom. I toss around trying to block the noise out but it continues to ring.

I flutter my eyes open searching the room for the loud noise. I realise that it’s my phone so I try and get out of bed. Harry is slouched on top of me so I push him off gently trying not to wake him up.

I groan as I walk over to the loud noise. The name mum is plastered over the screen. I slide to answer and put the phone to my ear.

“Hello.” I groan into the phone rubbing my tired eyes.

“Morning sweet heart, how are you feeling?” Mum chirps into the phone.

What is the time? She seems too happy for this time in the morning. I quietly leave Harry’s bedroom and make my way down into the kitchen so I don’t wake him up. It’s 9.30am why the hell is she calling?

“I’m better, just needed to get out of the house for a while.” I smile. We only just got home yesterday and I needed to get out already. 

“Okay, well be ready in 1 hour because we have to go pick up Zeus.” Mum tells me.

“Oh, I totally forgot. Okay see you then.” I reply before hanging up the phone.

I place my phone down on the bench and walk over to the cupboard to get a cup.

“Morning.” Williams’s voice fills the kitchen and I jump slightly in surprise.

“Morning.” I turn around to William who’s now sitting on the kitchen stools.

“Nice pyjamas.” He laughs and I look down to see what’s so funny.

Crap, I totally forgot I was wearing Harry’s clothes. I can feel the brightness rising to my cheeks.

“Uh, yeah.” I laugh trying to make this less awkward.

“I didn’t know you were coming over? We just got back from holiday yesterday.” William laughs.

“Yeah, I just needed to get out of the house.” I smile grabbing the milk out of the fridge.

“Why?” William curiously asks.

‘I’m sure mum will explain when she picks me up.” I smile. I cannot be bothered going into full detail about the events from yesterday. I’m sure it’s just going to cause me to have another panic attack.

“Okay then.” He says before getting up and exiting the kitchen. No breakfast?

I sit down on the stool with my glass of milk and scroll through my Facebook. I should probably catch up with Sophie soon.

“Morning baby.” I hear Harry’s morning voice make its way into the kitchen.

I smile at the sight of my sleepy boyfriend. He’s curly brown hair is flopped everywhere and his morning voice is the sexiest thing I have ever hear.

“Morning.” I smile sipping my milk.

“Is everything alright? I heard you get out of bed.” He worries before taking a cup out of the cupboard.

“Yeah, mum’s picking me up in an hour if that’s alright. We have to go get Zeus.” I smile. I have missed Zeus a lot and can’t wait to see him.

“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Harry asks filling his cup up with cold milk, just like mine.

“I guess I will be okay.”

“Call me straight away if you’re not.” He demands sitting down next to me.

“Of course Harry.” I roll my eyes at his protectiveness but I actually love it.
