*Dacota's POV*

"So, what do you want to do?" Harry asks me as we sit on my couch.

"We could watch movies, I guess," I say. We have a lot of movies.

"Okay, you wanna pick or should I?"

"What's with you and questions? Um, you can," I say and he chuckles. He ponders the shelves of movies for a moment then grabs one and slips it into the player. He returns to his spot on the couch with the remote. I grab my phone and get on Twitter again. The tweets we're still awful.

'Ugh seriously @DacotyBoo go die in a HOLE already!'

'Why is @DacotyBoo all over my man!'

'Fuck OFF @DacotyBoo !!!'

"Are you okay, Cody?" Harry asks me. His big, warm hand reaches to my face to wipe something wet from it. I hadn't noticed the tears in my eyes until now. God, I hate when I cry in front of people.

"Yeah, it's just," I give a strained giggle, "bitches will be bitches," I say. He grabs my phone and scrolls through the tweets.

"Wow, girls are bitches," he says and pulls out his own phone.

"What are you doing?" I ask him, sniffling.

"Well," he says and searches my twitter name, "first, I'm following my new BFF. Second, I'm going to do something about this."

"No, Harry, please don't do anything you'll regret. I don't want you and your band to lose your fans for me, or-"

"Don't worry about our fans. It'll be okay. Promise." He sticks out his pinkie finger and I link mine with his. He types something on his phone quickly and I feel my phone vibrate twice.

@HarryStyles followed you!

@HarryStyles tweeted!

I check Twitter, follow him back and read his tweet.

'Hey, guys! Now, I know you all have seen the new stuff about me and my friend Dacota, but we're just friends! Actually, we're BFFs, but anyways, please leave her alone. Love you all xxx'

"Harry, you seriously didn't have to do that," I say. He shrugs.

"Anything to protect my charm buddy!" he says and gives me a side hug. I laugh. "Can I post a picture of us on my twitter so the lads can see you?"

"I guess," I say and lean into his side so we fit in the picture. We both smile for one picture, then we do a funny one where I'm making a fish face and cross eyed and Harry is making a huge smile.

"Alright. Let's put these on here." He types on his phone again and I feel my phone vibrate... again.

@HarryStyles tagged you in 3 photos!

"Three?" I ask. I click the app and see the two we took together and the third one. "Wow," I say quietly. It's a picture of me in Geometry. I'm resting my head on my right hand, my pencil in my left, eraser on my chin, and my lip bitten slightly in thought. I looked kind of pretty...

"Thank you, I really like that picture. I look kinda pretty..." I drift off.

"Well you are." He puts an arm around me.

"You think I'm pretty?" I feel the heat in my cheeks.

"Well, yeah," he say shyly. He starts to blush a bit now.

"Wow, thanks. You're the first guy to call me that, ever. Well, besides my dad," I say and he laughs at the last part.

"No problem. Now let's actually watch the movie." I didn't even realize we hadn't even pushed play. The beginning page for Jurassic Park was playing over and over again.

"Okay, good pick by the way. I love this movie," I say and lean into his side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dacota," I hear a distant voice say. I stir a bit. "Dacota," the voice says again.

"What...?" I mumble.

"The movie's over, its 10 o' clock, and you've been asleep for about half of the movie. I think you're tired. Time for bed. Get up," Harry says.

"I can't get up." I whisper.

"Well, I guess I'll have to carry you," he says and picks me up, bridal style. I doze off occasionally on the way to my room. Wow, I'm tired. I'm sat onto my bed and then I situate myself under the covers.

"Thank you, Harry. See you tomorrow," I say quietly.

"You're welcome, and goodnight. See you tomorrow, Cody." A soft kiss is planted on my forehead, the lights are shut off, and my door shuts. I get comfortable and then a small smile grows on my face.

Harry Styles is my best friend.
