Old friends

Chapter 6

"Sara?" she questions taking a few steps towards me.

"Oh my God Gemma" I shout running towards her and wrapping my arms around her neck and she does the same.

"Oh my look at you, I can't say how much I have missed having a little sister around. One day your are here and the next you aren't. My you look like your mum. It's just so nice to see you" she says again hugging me.

It was nice to see her too, it was. I was just a bit disappointed it wasn't my old best friend stood at the door wrapping his arms around me.

...

The party started at about 7pm and I would say at least 60 people turned up just to celebrate Anne's birthday. I wasn't one for big crowds and I slipped out without anyone noticing.

I walked down the street having no clue where I was going.

After about 10 minutes I came to a store. I had a bit of money on me so I decided to go in and buy some food. No offence to Anne but her food wasn't the best. It never had been.

I made my way out of the shop with a bag in hand when my phone started to ring.

"Hello?" I say

"honey where are you" my mum asked. Damn

"Um just went for a walk. I won't be long" I say before trying to hurry the conversation along and hang up.

I started walking out of the empty car park and before I knew it I was back at Anne's house.

I made my way upstairs. I was shattered and honestly just wanted to go back to Uni already.

I found myself in Harry's room, again. Before I was interrupted by Gemma I was enjoying noseying at the pictures around the room and seeing what he kept and what was new.

Seeing it all here brought back way to many memories for my brain I handle. It honestly made me so upset.

He still had his old teddy. It wasn't on his pillow like usual, It was at the end of his bed so I moved it back to its rightful home.

After about 5 minutes of snooping I heard the door open again.

Without turning around I just apologised.

"I'm sorry Gemma I just think I left something in here give me a minute" I say, a total lie.

There was no reply so I turned around. Holy crap.

"Sara"

I saw Harry, so unrecognisable, stood in front of me. He had muscles, not scrawny arms and he was tall. His hair wasn't as curly and he looked like a man.

I didn't move, I couldn't move.

He walked towards me breaking no eye contact as I stared back at him.

"What are, I though you-" He mumbled. I could tell he couldn't say anything and neither could I.

"You moved and I thought we wouldn't meet again I-" I cut him off by flashing an awkward but caring smile and he did the same before he wrapped his arms around me and we embraced.

We stayed like this for a while before he pulled away and took me by the hand leading me down the stairs.
