Protect Me

Just like every other day.

(A/N finally no more dumb italics.)

After class it's lunch time, I go to my usual spot and plop my paper bag lunch in front on me. I told Carly to go sit with Jake because she always sits with me. Before I know it, a tall, curly haired, and green eyes boy sits in front of me. Oh wait.

Harry.

I stare at him.

"Par-"

"No."

"Park-"

"Stop"

"I'm sor-"

"Shutup"

I look him in the eyes.

"Look, you hurt me. Not everyone always gets what they want. I wanted you to not cheat. You cheated. You want to get me back. You won't. So stop trying." I take out my sandwich and start eating, Harry sitting there in silence.

"I was drunk. My mom got a boyfriend and the day before I walked in on them banging and it made me so mad so I went out after dinner with you and got drunk. I wanted to get them back so I made this girl moan and we were really loud and, I'm sorry." Harry says.

Wow.

Very good Harry.

Round of applause people!

Wow...

I start clapping slowly.

"What?" he asks, confused.

"You're an idiot."

"I'm sorry"

"I'm not running back into your arms do why are you even trying?" I state, coldly.

"Because I made a stupid mistake, and I want you, I..."

"You what, Harry?" I say through clenched teeth.

"I love you" he says

I love you.

I. love. you.

Love.

No no no.

I'm delusional, he didn't just say that.

Da fuck?!

"What the fuck?" i blurt

"What?"

"You love me?"

"Of course!"

He leans over the table and kisses me to my surprise I needed it.

"I missed you." I whisper

"I missed you too." he says

On Friday, Jake, Carly's Boyfriend, was handing out invites to a party.

"Hey did you get one?" Harry asks holding it up.

"...No"

"Didn't Carly help him make them?"

"When she's around him, I'm nothing."

"Sorry to hear that..."

"Yeah." I walk to my car but get stopped by that Zayn kid that played truth or dare with us.

"Hi Parker!" he beams

"Uh hi?"

"Hey Harry" he says

"Sup"

"You guys going to Jake's party?" Zayn asks, "Or you doin' lil sometin' sonetin'?" Zayn winks.

Did I mention it's my birthday? I didn't tell Harry. I told my mom I just wanted cake. Carly forgot because she was drunk with Jake. But somehow, I think Zayn found out.

"Why would we be doing something tonight?" Harry asks

"Why would you?! Why wouldn't you?!" Zayn shouts

"Why?" Harry asks

I cringe.

"It's Parker's birthday! Duh!"

Crud.

"No it's not" Harry says crossing his arms as I walk faster to my car.

Yes it is....

"Yeah, it is. I looked in last year's year book, today's Parker Micloy's birthday!" Zayn says and hands me a card.

"Thanks" I mumble opening it and seeing a Taco Bell gift card.

When Harry and I get in the car it's silent. I turn the key and my yellow beetle roars to life.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asks

"Why does it matter? It's just another day." I back out of my parking spot and go into the main road.

"But it's not, it's your birthday." Harry's voice, sad.

"Carly forgot. My mom has work. Its just like all the other birthdays, watch tv, eat some leftovers and pretend to be happy. So I just stopped celebrating it. The only present I got was from a Zayn and I only asked my mom for a cake since she always has to work late on my birthday. But I don't even get that because she's on a trip." I say pulling up to our road.

"Oh" Is all he says

"We're here" I say as I pull into his driveway.

"You going to Jake's party?" Harry asks

"No, I didn't get an invite. I don't like parties anyway." I say.

"Oh. Well, seeya." Harry gets out of mg car looking sad.

Just like every other day.

It's not like it's my birthday or anything.
