~Chapter 17~
•Alexis's POV•
The next morning I woke up sprawled across the floor of Eliza and Nicole's dorm. I rub my eyes and look around the disorganized space. An empty pizza box, empty ice cream cartons, beer bottles, and movies were strewn all around the room.
Nicole was already up watching TV and Eliza was out cold. As I looked over at her, a frown was apparent on her face and I could tell that she was both physically and emotionally exhausted. That girl went through a lot last night.
A vibration caught my attention and it was El's phone. I didn't want to wake her so I picked up her phone to turn it off. But something stopped me when I looked at the bright screen. A text. From a guy.
Harry: Goodmorning beautiful(:
Who's Harry and why is he calling her beautiful?
•Eliza's POV•
I woke up with a pounding headache and an extremely dry mouth. My eyes were sore from crying and my whole body seemed to ache.
I look around the room and everybody is already awake. Nicole's watching something on the T.V and Alexis is on her phone.
Wait...
No....
She's on my phone...
"What's so interesting?" I purposely startle her.
"More importantly, who is Harry and why is he calling you beautiful?" she counters.
Oh wow that must look really bad to her.
"Just a friend. He's just a friend I swear," I explain.
She gives me a skeptical look but shrugs it off.
"So what do you guys want to do today?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"I'm going out with Louis all day, will you be okay alone?" Nicole asks.
"I'm fine. Have fun," I say even though I'm far from fine.
An hour later, Alexis and I are just lounging around the dorm when I get another text.
Harry: Are you alright?
Me: No actually.
Harry: I'm on my way(:
Me: Okay
"Hey you should go shopping today!" I suggest to Alexis.
"But what about you?" Alexis frowns.
"I'll be fine."
With Harry, my subconscious adds.
After about ten minutes, Alexis is out the door with her penny board in tow.
About five minutes after she left, there's a knock at the door.
"I'm coming in!" Harry shouts.
I laugh as Harry walks in.
"You know it's rude to invite yourself in right?" I giggle at him.
He simply shakes his head and explains how he was 'speeding up the process because I would've let him in anyway.'
I smack him on the arm and steal his bandana off his head causing his messy mop of curls to fall around his face.
Harry lunges at me and attempts to grab the fabric from my grasp. I break out in laughter and run away from him. Soon he catches up and lifts me by my waist and throws me over his broad shoulder. I smack his back as he jogs back down the hallway to the couch.
"Gimme it!" he laughs.
"Never will I ever surrender!" I shout in response.
Suddenly, Harry starts jabbing my sides causing me to die of laughter. He finds my most ticklish spot and I finally give in. I stuff the bandana down my shirt.
"I'm not afraid to go in there!" Harry chuckles.
"Fine fine..."
I take the bandana out and tie it around my head.
"Okay I give! You can put me down now!" I scream into his ear. He places me down on the couch and sits on top of me so I won't slip away.
"Now talk to me about your feelings."
"I would but you're sitting on me," I laugh.
Harry stands up and sits down next to me while I cross me legs.
For the next three hours, we talk about anything and everything. He's very understanding about the Niall break up and he made me laugh too.
"I would never treat a girl like that. I can't believe that dick," Harry spits about Niall.
"I just don't know what I did wrong. I guess it was because I wouldn't sleep with him yet," I sob.
Harry scoots closer and pulls me into a hug while I nuzzle my face into his hard chest and continue sobbing.
"You didn't do a single thing wrong," he soothes. "You were doing everything right. He was the idiot who lost you. just forget about him."
I take Harry's words in and really ponder them.
Harry positions himself closer to me and wraps me in a hug. He kisses my forehead and basically cradles me.
"Everything will work out fine, and you never know. Maybe the person you've been looking for, is closer than you think," he whispers soothingly into my ear.
I look up into his eyes and grin.
"Thanks Harry. You're the bestfriend I could ever have."
