Something Great (H.S. Au)

5. Lake House

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes memories are all we have, so make the best memories you can.

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

Nothing else really hapened after I got dressed. Harry dropped me off at the hospital and I have been driving ever since which has probably been about an hour.
I finally pull up to my destination. A old rustic house, the white paint of the front porch chipping from the weather damage. Across the street a big slope of a field which leads to a lake. The medium sized brown house sits at the top of the hill and its long dirt driveway is now covered in grass.
The last time I was here was for Easter 2010 in fact I think that was the last time anybody was here, judging from the condition the house is in.
If your wondering why I drove an hour out here, you're asking the wrong person because I have no clue either, my mind just lead me here.
I need some time by myself so this is where i'm staying for the weekend.
I walk up to white wooden door and insert the key. Slowly I push the door open and it makes such a wretched noise. I walk in and everything in here is covered in at least an inch of dust and there are cobwebs everywhere. This place is gonna neeed a good cleaning, but i'm fine with it, anything to keep my mind off what happened yesterday.

Harry's POV

After I drop off the girl from my school at the hospital I head back home.

"Who was that?"

"It was no one mum, just a friend"

"Just a friend, and I suppose you sleep with all your friends."

"No I didn't sleep with her, she just lost her father last night and she needed a friend." As soon as I said that I realized I had already broken our promise.

"Oh"

I see her eyes get a little glossy and I take that as my chance to leave. I can't stand to see girls cry it breaks my heart.
I run up the stairs and lay on my bed. As I lay down I feel something hard against my back. I pull the covers back and I find a black phone, it must be the girl's. She'll come and get it sometime this weekend or i'll just give it to her on Monday.

Lola's POV

It's now sunday and I feel good. I spent all of Saturday morning and half the after noon cleaning up the house. Since then I have just been sitting outside enjoying the nice cloudy weather. And everythings been calm and fine, but now i have to start heading home which i've been dreading all weekend.
♡♡♡♡♡

I look out the window and then the clock, it's 6am I barely got any sleep at all last night. I got back from the lake house at 10pm last night. I couldn't fall asleep I think I actually fell asleep at 3:30 of so. I don't think I'm going to get anymore sleep so I just decide to take a shower.
♡♡♡♡♡

It's finally time for school, I'll just be getting there early, well not really I guess for normal people it would be the ordinary time they get there. Not for me this will probably only happen once in my lifetime.

When I get to school I can actually find a parking spot which is nice because that means less walking. I should start coming to school early...ha nah I like to get as much sleep as possible so I'll just be late.

I start walking up the stairs to 1st period. Climbing the stairs is my workout because it takes a lot out of you to run up three flights of stairs. Plus I do it more than once a day so I'd say it's a pretty darn good workout. When I get to the classroom I see a certain curly headed boy standing outside. Hmmm I wonder who he's waiting for, or maybe he has this class now. That would be interesting, I just hope he stays quiet about what happened friday.  I start heading for the classroom door.

"Hey"

Harry looks at me expectantly and I just keep on walking. He must be talking to someone behind me. Also I don't want to make a fool of myself.

"Heelllooo, are you deaf" He says

It's then that I realize he was talking to me all along and I just made a bigger fool of myself

"Oh hi sorry I thought you where talking to someone behind me"

"Nope just you, only you" he says with a small grin. As he sees the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Oh well hello" why am I so awkward?

"Have you been missing something, it's something very important you lost it this weekend?" He asks with a weird look in his eye

My eyes tear up at what he just said is he seriously just going to make fun of my loss like that. I just want to hit him, but I don't have enough strength.

"Why are you crying?" he says sincerely.

"How could you just talk about my dad like that? what's wrong with you?" I say now fully sobbing. Great now people are gonna stare.

"Calm down I wasn't talking about your dad I was talking about your phone that you left at my house!" he says pulling me down the hall to the girls restroom.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you not been listening you left your phone at my house, look I'm sorry I didn't mean for that statement to come out that way."

We are now in the girls restroom he is holding my arms and staring straight into my eyes. I stare back, wow his eyes are so mesmerizing.

"mhmh" someone clears their throat.

We both look to our left at the same time his hands never dropping from my arms

"What is going on here" it's the principal Mrs. Perez

"I'm sorry ma'am this is my fault I dragged her in here because she was having a panic attack and I had to get her out of that noisy hallway."

"Ok next time this happens take her to the nurse not a girls bathroom" she says giving a pointed look to Harry.

When she leaves me and Harry look at eachother once agin my sobs coming out as hiccups now.

"I would never hurt you like that!"

"I'm sorry I overreacted"

"It's ok"

he reaches into his back pocket and pulls out my favorite thing in the world other than my dad....my phone

"Thank you"

"No problem but the next time you leave your phone at my house you should put a lock on it I am a nosey person" he says with a smirk

"You went through my phone! why?"

"I was trying to find out where you live, but I didn't see anything but some interesting text messages and pictures"

Immediately my mind flashes to the text messages between me and Destiny. That's when I feel the heat rush to my cheeks and I know that means I'm blushing, but I don't know what pictures he's talking about.

"well thank you for my phone" and with that I left the restroom and headed for class.
♡♡♡♡♡

Harry and I didn't talk for the rest of the day but I told Destiny all about itand she already has a ship name Lory.
