BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 48. Edited.

"Thanks." I said and walked out from the guy's car.

I knocked the front door after walking for minutes through the long path to the entrance, and Anne opened and let me in.

"Linda!" She screamed and hugged me. "Where were you?" She asked me, she was so worried like if I was her daughter.

"In that party and now here," I answered, I was so dizzy.

I was drunk, I can't believe Anne just saw me in this state. Anne and her identical twin were now talking to me.

Dang it. I'm SO drunk.

"Come in darling," she helped me walking into the living room, she sat me down.

Once Anne told them I was here they came inside the house, for some reason both Gemma and Harry were outside. Gemma freaked out after seeing me in this state and phoned someone.

"Where did you go?" Harry asked me concerned.

"You guys came here and I found Rachel and she told me thatyou left so her brother took me here," I couldn't speak; I didn't know what I was actually saying.

"Rachel's brother?" He asked.

"Yes, because I was alone there."

"Rachel told us you were here; that you felt sick and grabbed a taxi here." Gemma explained.

She was a bitch. I didn't know her that much to actually hate her but she wasn't my favorite girl in the world.

"She lied to us," I said.

My head was hurting me so much; I needed to go to sleep after giving Harry his birthday present. Anne handed me a glass with water and a pill, it really made me feel so much better. Then Gemma and Anne went to bed and we went to his old bedroom, I opened my bag and took out the box.

"I have something for you..." I said while he was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

"What?" He walked out.

"This," I gave him the box. "Happy birthday,"

I walked to the bathroom to put my pyjamas on; I drank more water to lower the alcohol level from my blood.

When I opened the door he was on his bed waiting for me with the box on his lap, and the black cardigan on his hand. The second part of the book he read once in my house.

I didn't have too much money to buy him expensive things so I decided to give him simple things that I knew he was going to love.

I sat beside him.

"I loved my presents, best ones ever," he said and kissed me.

"Really?" I asked concerned.

He was too nice to say they were horrible.

"Yes. I love them and you,"

He kissed my nose and then pressed his lips against mine leaving a soft kiss on them.

Someone knocked the door and I heard Anne's voice laughing out there.

"Sorry guys but there's a call for you son," she said.

Harry stood up after kissing me twice again and opened the door with the book still on his hand.

He grabbed his phone and after checking who it was he closed the door and went to the hall.

I covered myself with the blankets and closed my eyes. I wasn't that drunk now but I wasn't feeling so good so it was better for me if I tried to sleep.
