Chapter 23 Forest Force

Harry's pov

I took the fragile girl in my arms and held her tightly. after she had run off, the boys and I just finished our training. and when we all left I found Charlie here. It pained me to see her like this, so broken. It was all my fault. Aaron told it me himself, my words affected her, but I don't get why she passed out.

I opened my front door and walked to my room, I would give her dad a ring later saying she stayed over at mine. I layed her down on my bed and made sure she laid comfortable. I smiled as I brushed a strand of hair out of her face. she was so beautiful.

"why is Charlie in your room, on your bed?" Gemma leaned against my door frame, she smirked probably thinking the wrong thing, well it wasn't really clear what she was thinking. I shrugged.

"I found her like this, and it was probably my fault." I said only getting more guilty. It was my fault, who was I to say that I love her, I got her in this state.

"she's asleep I hope?" Gemma asked, I sighed.

"I can only hope." I said sadly looking at Gemma pleading. "Gem, I'm in love but I don't want to be broken. what should I do?" I asked. "I'm trying to take distance but it's not only hurting me, but also her" I felt so sad and Gemma rushed to my side.

"just keep the distance lil' one, you'll get over her." she rubbed my back and the funny thing was that I believed her.

as you might know, that little boy never got over her and I was now sitting at the edge of my seat wanting her to call me back. she would do that today. the phone ran and I quickly answered.

"it was like you were waiting for my call." she joked and we both laughed awkardly. I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her laugh.

"actually I was. I'm sorry.

"you're a total creep you know that, you should be locked away."she exclaimed.

"I told you I was sorry, and yes I should be locked away with you in a bedroom." I said cheekily, I couldn't only imagine her smile.

"I think I'm ready to forgive you Harry, I think I can." this made me jump up and smile madly.

"you think you can, I'm so happy you can, I could to kiss you right now. well I want to." I knew she thought I was joking but I meant it. I could give her a proper snog right now.

"you're still the cheeky Harry I know. Gosh I missed you so much Harry. you know I was actually pretty stupid to make such a big deal out of it." she said and I felt sorry, I felt bad for what I did to her.

"no, you had enough reasons to be mad about me. I mean, I made it up to you but what I did when we were fourteen. and I bullied you for a short time, you had enough reasons Charlie, you shouldn't feel stupid." I tried to resure her.

"now don't make me remeber it." she joked. "I'm glad we're back to being friends again Harry. will you please be my friend until the end. letting nothing come between us?" she asked and it made me wonder if there was more.

"I will never let anything come between us ever again, I made that mistake once and it was the worst mistake ever. did you know I had a huge crush on you when we were younger." I confessed, she could know right.

"really?" she giggled. "I was praticlly in love with this guy back then too. he was such a gentlemen. he even helped me once when I was bullied by Aaron. you know, he's pretty well known the Harry Styles ever heard of him?" she said and I smiled. we were back to being friends like we didn't have that break-up from friends.
