The Dark Side

Chapter 4

''Weird...'' I said as I locked my phone.

''What happened?'' Alana said as she jumped up from the couch.

It wasn't Harry, who picked up the phone. It was someone else. I was scared. I didn't want to leave Alana, but I had check is everything alright for Harry.

''Someone picked up, but it wasn't him...'' My voice cracked at the end.

''Well? Who was it then?'' She came closer to me.

''I don't know...'' I said while thinking about checking on him.

''Do you know where he lives?'' She asks really curiously.

''Well i d-'' She interrupts me before I could finish my sentence.

''Go check on him!'' She screams in my ear.

''But I don't want to leave you. I mea-'' She interrupts me again.

''Come on! I'll be fine, besides what could happen?'' She says as she's trying to push me to the hallway.

''Well, nothing I gue-'' She interrupts me with a slap in my face.

''JUST GO.'' She says almost screaming.

The next thing I knew was me leaving her house to go to Harry's house. I was really scared, I mean what am I going to say? I'm really bad at talking to strangers. It's even harder when the stranger is ho-

I mean pretty attractive.

So, when I got to his house I wanted to turn back and run away. I still can. No, what will I say to Alana? Uhm... I'll just say, that he's fine. No, I wont. I'm really curious about him too.

I knocked on the door. It was his father, Robin.

''Hii, Laura!''

''Uhm, hello. Is Harry here?'' I asked as I started to scratch my neck.

''I'm sorry, no. He hasn't been here yesterday.'' He said looking into my eyes.

''Oh, uhm, it's okay... Do You, perhaps, know where he is?'' I asked looking at the car in the driveway.

''Well I think, he's at his friend's, Niall's house.''

''Oh, thank you. Where does he live? If it's not priv-'' Now he interrupted me by waving his finger at the houses.

''See that house across the street?'' He pointed at a house in a creamy white colour.

''Yes? Does he live there?'' I asked looking at the house.

''Niall's house is in the exact same colour but on a different street. It's pretty far away from here.'' He said as he took a not and a pen out of his pocket. 

He wrote the address on the note.

''Here, this is his street. Do you have to walk?'' He asked coming out of the house and closing the door.

''Well, yea. I don't have a car...'' I said looking at their cars.

''Do you know how to ride a skateboard?'' He asked smiling at me.

''Yeah, why?'' I asked curiously looking into their garage.

''Well this is Harry's...'' He said taking something out of the darkest corner of the room.

''...but he doesn't use it anymore, so you can have it.'' He said holding a skateboard in his hands.

It was a skateboard. I remember I had this, when I was, like 16. But it was Harry's, I can't just take it.
