"Stacie?" I yelled from the opposite side of the street. Her head turned to me as she was about cross the road. A smile spread across her face, deep dimples prominent.
"Emily!" She yelled back, and looked to her right and the left, to see if there was any cars. She ran towards me with both her arms open to greet me in a hug. She was finally infront of me and we both hugged eachother and stood on our spot for almost 10 seconds.
"I can't believe you're here!" we both say at the same time. I wanted to invite her over, but it somehow didn't happen, and now that she was here, I just needed to invite her over right away.
"Such a long time ago!" I spoke. "I was wondering if you wanted to come over today?" I asked, but I already knew the answer.
"Sure, we can actually go now since I don't have anything to do." She said.
. . .
I opened the door and we both entered, and the smell of cinnamonrolls as we entered made me hungry.
"Emily? is it you?" my mom yelled from the kitchen. We both took our shoes off and entered the kitchen. My mom turned her head to the left as she saw the familiar face of Stacie.
"Stacie!" my said in surprise and threw what she had in her hand in the sink. She ran towards her and gave her a big hug.
"Mrs. Knight!" Stacie responded.
"What brought you here sweetie?" My mom said and tilted her head to the right.
"Emily and I ran into eachother in the city and now we're here!" She spoke.
We both smiled and walked upstairs to my room. My room was a little dirty after throwing my pyjamas and socks on the floor, so I took the things off of the floor and threw them in my closet.
She dropped herself of the bed and pounded on the sheets to make me sit.
"Sooo," She said and broke the silence. "Any guys you've met that you think are cute?"
I rolled my eyes at her and sat across her. "I have already told you that, his name is Luke." I said and my heart sunk. "But he's at the hospital right now" I gulp. Her face changed immediately, as I spoke the words.
"Oh my god, that's horrible! Why is he at the hospital?" She said astounded.
I let out a big sigh and paused for 5 seconds. I looked up again and she was still waiting for me to speak up.
"Apparently, someone had beaten him up, and now he's at the hospital."
She let out a gasp and covered her mouth. I started to feel sad, and I just wanted to talk about everything else than Luke. And as I was about to change the topic, my phone vibrated. I grabbed my phone, and Stacie's head almost flew over to my phone to see who was calling.
"Harry?" She questioned. " I thought his name was Luke? Who the hell is Harry?" She jokes. I quickly ended the call, but it started ringing again. "Pick it up!" Stacie whispered.
"Hello?" Harry huskily spoke.
"Why do you keep ignoring my calls?" He said through the phone. Stacie got closer, and let her head be next to mine, to hear what Harry was saying.
"Look Harry, I'm actually pretty busy right now, call me later." By that I ended the call.
"Uhhh, you're dating two?" She said in a playful tone.
I lightly threw a pillow on her face and we both burst out in laughter. "I'm not dating any of them!" I laughed.
I could feel my stomach growl, as I remembered that I hadn't eaten a proper meal for days. I could smell the cinnamon close to me and my stomach started to growl louder. "Geez Emily, you sound hungry" Stacie interrupted my thoughts. We both hear a knock on the door. It was my mom holding a plate of cinnamon rolls, and I ran towards her to grab the plate. "Bon appetite" my mom said and closed the door. I almost threw the whole cinnamon roll in my mouth, but took it out again remembering it was hot.
As we were eating the cinnamon rolls, my thoughts flew over to the dress i bought right before meeting Stacie.
"Stacie, you are not gonna believe what I bought today!" I almost squealed.
"Show me!" She squealed back while having both her arms infront of her.
I took the sack from the floor and grabbed the red dress, and as I was raising the dress up, I could see Stacie's face sparkle. Her hands were together and her mouth was open. I threw the sack away and was holding the dress infront of myself.
"What do you think?" I asked while swinging from left to right.
"I love it! Who is going to see you wearing it, Luke or Har-"
"Stacie!" I cut her off before she could finish the sentence.
*Same night*
"Emily," I heard Stacie whisper. I opened my eyes and saw her standing at the curtains.
I checked the time and it was 3am.
"What are you looking at?" I said while rubbing my eyes.
"I don't know, some random dude with a black vehicle is stalking us."
I jumped out of bed and my heart started racing faster. I quietly looked out of the window and saw Harry standing in the parking lot looking right into our window. I closed the curtains and walked towards my bed, when my phone vibrated again.
"Is that Harry?" Stacie questioned.
"Yes." I said and let out a sigh.
"Wow, he's hot, but creepy."
I took my pillow infront of my face and groaned.
He started to get on my nerves.
"That's it, i'm gonna talk to him face to face right now!" I said and threw the pillow back on the bed, I opened the door, but walked back again.
"I'll be right back." I said to Stacie and ran downstairs.
I reached the door and almost flipped it open. I walked towards him with hatred and I just wanted to kill him.
Harry was calm and his eyebrows were raised. His arms were crossed and waited for me to speak.
"Look, stop stalking me, I don't want to talk to you and stop following me!" I yelled. My words took him by surprise, he opened the car door and sat inside with fustration. I froze for 3 seconds and felt bad immediately. I went to the opposite side of the car and sat inside. His elbows were laying on the steering wheel and tears spilling from his eyes. His heavy breathing made my heart sunk and a tear escaped from my eyes. I didn't know the words had hit him that hard.
"Harry.." I breathless spoke.
He wiped off the tears and looked straight into my eyes.
"I- Ca-" He stuttered.
My heart was beating and I could hardly breathe, another tear escaped from my eyes.
He paused for 5 seconds and finally decided to speak up.
"You remind me of someone that meant the world to me, and she's gone." He stuttered.
A gasp escaped from my mouth and I was speechless.
"Sh-she was my everything, she made me happy. I think of her everyday and everytime I see you, I jus-" He stopped.
I wiped his tear off with my thumb as I watched him quietly.
All this time he followed me and tried to come close to me was because I reminded of someone he was dating and now she's gone? His tears were still falling down his cheeks and I could see he was trying his hardest to form the words.
"I-"
I leaned forward placing my lips on his warm plump pink lips. His fingertips dug into my backside. His chest heavily rose and fell under my touch. I leaned back and stared at him, I opened the car door and leaving Harry in confusion. I ran over to the frontdoor as I saw the car drive away, while standing infront of the door.
What just happend?
I opened the door and walked upstairs wiping off the tears from earlier and as I opened the bedroom door I saw Stacie with her mouth open and staring at me.
"Did you see-"
"Yes." Stacie interrupted.
