Chapter 8:

Harry’s POV

I was gutted at first when I saw Luke and Hayley kissing but then I realised that it was a forced kiss and Hayley needed help. I know I know I shouldn’t be spying but I knew Luke was bad news. He went to my old school and started fights with everyone and got expelled from trying to touch the girls. When I saw him hit Hayley that was it, I knew I had to go down there. I was a long way away but I got there just as he was about to slap her a second time. I pushed him to the ground while getting Hayley safely to the car. I was so upset. I couldn’t believe he had done that to my best friend and… the girl I loved. We got back to mine and we were in the car and we talked about what happened and she started crying on me. I pulled her chin up gently and looked into her eyes. I leaned in and I was just about to kiss her when my phone started to ring. Great. It was mum. “Harold where are you! You get yourself home right now!” she bellowed down the phone. I told her I would be there soon and I hung up. I was as bright as a tomato. I walked Hayley in the door and told mum and Gemma that Hayley was staying for dinner. We were walking up the stairs when Gemma pulled off my grey beanie I was wearing to hide my blue curls. The colour hasn’t faded even though it’s only been a day. I ran up and locked myself in my room. I heard a knock on the door and I thought it was Gemma “Go away!” I yelled then I heard the sweet angelic voice of my best friend “Oh… okay I will just go then… bye Harry” I flung the door opened and told her I thought she was Gemma.

We sat in my room and talked about the weirdest things. “Come on Harry please tell me that you don’t eat that!” she said to me as walked into my room with a jar of peanut butter and celery sticks. “What!? It tastes great!” I said defensively whilst she was trying to contain her laughter. “I don’t know what’s weirder, the fact that you have blue hair or that you are eating celery with peanut butter” she giggled. Gosh she was so adorable when she giggled. “Here have some” I said while dipping the stick of celery into the peanut butter. She hesitantly took it in her hand and placed it in her mouth. Her face was priceless!  She hated it! I couldn’t stop laughing! She ran to the bathroom and washed out her mouth.

 She closed the door behind her and sat back down on the bed. “Is it all off my face” she asked. She was so beautiful. I leaned in and spoke softly to her “you got a little something on your lips” I said softly. Just as I was about to connect our lips the door burst open “dinners ready you t-“mum said but stopped when she saw me and Hayley. We both quickly pulled away and looked around nervously. “I… um we were just… we, we are coming down for dinner now…” Hayley said. “Oh... Okay likely story guys” mum said with a wink and she walked down stairs. This would now be the second time my mum stopped me from kissing Hayley. I was frustrating me I just wanted to kiss her; I don’t know what it is that is making me feel this way about her. “Sorry about that…” I spoke softly “mum always walk in at the wrong ti-“I said but she cut me off by placing her soft lips on mine. I felt sparks, fireworks it was so amazing. Our lips fit perfectly together. Our lips were connected for a few more seconds and then she pulled away. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that” she giggled as we rested out foreheads on each other’s.

Hayley’s POV:

I don’t know what it was about him but when he looked at me and apologised for his mum walking in on us almost kissing; he just looked so innocent and adorable and I don’t know why but I just kissed him. I just kissed my best friend and told him that I’ve wanted to do that for so long. I really hope this doesn’t ruin our friendship.

I walked downstairs with Harry and we sat at the table and started to eat our spaghetti. I twirled the long stands of spaghetti around my fork and put it in my mouth. I was about to twirl another piece when Harry nudged my shoulder “Hayley you’ve got a little something…” he said while pointing at his lip. Oh I had some spaghetti sauce on my lip. Great. I was about to wipe it off when Anne spoke. “I’m sure Harry can help you with that love,” she said trying to contain her laughter. I nearly spat out my spaghetti in shock when she said this. I was bright red and so was Harry “Mum!” he yelped in total shock and embarrassment trying to get her to be quiet “what its true!” she said. I was trying so hard to contain my laughter at this point. “Ooohh la la!” Gemma said whilst outlining a love heart in the air around me and Harry. “Umm… I have to go” I said red with embarrassment “but thanks for having me and for dinner” “that fine love, but it’s not us you should be thanking” she said with a wink obviously referring to Harry. I stood up from my seat but Harry grabbed my wrist gently “do you have to go?” he said soft enough so only I could hear “yeah… I will see ya tomorrow?” I said “sure” he said with a smile on his face. I kissed his cheek then I did the same for Anne and Gemma. When I kissed Anne’s cheek she whispered in my ear “make sure he’s good to you love,” “we’re not together Anne we’re best friends” “yeah and best friends kiss each other? She said raising her eyebrow. “Goodbye guys!” I called as I walked out the front door “Bye Hayley!” they called back. I was about to close their front door when it was stopped by Harry’s foot. He took my hand and walked out on to the front porch closing the door behind him. “Harry I-“ I started but he cut me off “look I’m sorry about mum and Gemma they’re just you know… and I’m sorry about-“ he was rambling on about what had happened and that he was sorry and he wouldn’t stop so I shut him up by connecting our lips. I pulled away and said “Harry it’s okay” he didn’t reply he was just standing there looking into my eyes. “I love you” he spoke softly “but Harry you promised?” “What?” don’t you remember when dad left for the army? How we camped out in your backyard because I didn’t want to be with anyone else?” “Yeah?” he said still confused

Flashback –

Me and Harry were sitting in our tent out the back and we were under the covers and he was hugging me. I only hug boys if it’s Harry otherwise its gross. “Mummy is really sad about daddy going” I said “yeah… love sucks doesn’t it?” he replied “yeah… let’s promise never to fall in love okay?” “Yes! Love is gross lets never do it yeah?” he replied “okay pinky promise?” I said and we locked pinkies.

Flashback over –

“Remember?” I asked “oh yeah” he said giggling. He put his finger under my chin and looked me in the eyes “well I guess that’s one promise I can’t keep” he said smirking and leaning in. he connected out lips and kissed me passionately. Our lips moves in sync until the front porch lights started to flick on and off and we heard Anne and Gemma giggling and looking at us through the front window. We both pulled away embarrassed about Anne and Gemma watching us and Harry gave them a death glare and they disappeared. “See you later Haz” I said “bye gorgeous” he said hugging me and then letting me go and walking inside. Oh my gosh. I think I’m falling for my best friend.

Harry’s POV:

Oh my gosh. I love her so much.  But I can’t do this. Not now. Not like this. I can’t just admit to her that I love her and then leave her. I can’t say goodbye to her. It would break us both. But I love her… far out. This sucks.
