CHAPTER 6

I couldn’t stop my tears; the boys were trying their best to comfort me. I was wrapped in Harry’s arms, Louis was rubbing my back and the other boys were sitting in front of me, they were all saying things like ‘I’m so sorry, Rache’ or ‘We’ll always be with you, don’t worry’ one of them even said it wasn’t my fault that she died, and I knew it I just couldn’t get over the fact she’s gone. Niall got up to get a glass of water for me, I nod as in thanking him and take a sip of water, as I tried to calm down. I was sitting between Liam and Harry, Harry was rubbing my back, the touch of his hand on my back sent shivers to my body. That must be normal, right? Liam, had a tight grip on my hand, trying to comfort me, I put the glass of water on the table and lean on the couch, looking cautiously at each one of them. They were looking at each other as if they were planning something, I clear my throat before speaking.

“Why are you looking at each other that way?” I managed to say, without my voice cracking, that was an achievement. I leaned back on the couch and crossed my legs, Harry was now holding my other hand, I smiled at him as I felt my face heat up. Why was I blushing? He’s just trying to comfort me, just like Liam who’s still holding my hand. Gently I slipped my hands out their grip and look at all of them.

“We were just… uh” Zayn mutters.

“Huh, interesting” I say with a bit of sarcasm, okay no. loads of sarcasm.

“Seems like you’re in the mood to joke are you?” Niall says with a wink. I shake my head looking up at him.

“I just want to get my head off things”

“Well, we’re planning something, to get things off your head” Harry says, his voice is low and he says it slowly, as if he’s treating a baby after they fall down, I smile at my thought. That’s actually cute.

“What are you planning guys?”

“That’s a surprise” Liam snaps. I nod and look up at them.

“I, um. I think I’ll go take a bath so, yeah.” I stood up and looked at Harry and Liam getting up.

“Okay, love. Come over after you’re done taking care of yourself” Harry says with a wink. I feel my cheeks going red and I try to hide it nodding and walking towards the door. Liam gives me my phone as he wraps me in his arms, I hug him back and the boys line up behind him. I give each a hug and last is Harry. He wraps his arms around my waist and gives me a long kiss on the cheek; I blush looking into his eyes. “Come back” he whispers in my ear as I walk out of their apartment. A smile shows on my face and I walk towards my flat. As I unlock the door I slip in and let out a big sigh. I think of the last few hours at the boys’ place. It was crazy, not crazy as in a huge party and we got drunk or something like that. Crazy because I cried in front of them, basically, I had a break down in front of them, I told them about my mom, I described that day, detail by detail. I had never done that, I mean I do spend hours and hours thinking on that day, but had never told someone. Not someone I had only one day of meeting, not someone I met hours ago. But, to be honest, neither had I ever slept in arms of the most wonderful-wait, what? No, I’m not thinking that. Harry’s not wonderful, he’s just my friend. A friend that made me shivers when he rubs my back. Oh my god, what’s going on with me? It’s nothing right, Rachel? Yeah, it’s nothing. Let’s stop thinking about what happened out there and take a bath.

I giggled at my own conversation and walked into my room. What could we do today? Whatever it is, I’ll try to look casual, and fancy. I opened the closet and my drawers, looking at every single top, short, skirt, and jean I had. I went for black leather skinny pants, and a basic white tee. I walked into the bathroom and had my normal bath, washed my hair with strawberry-scented shampoo. Once I walked out of the bathroom I towel dried my hair as I applied my makeup, just some basics; mascara, a little bit of eyeliner, a touch of foundation and last but not least my normal cherry lip-gloss. I blew a kiss at the mirror and giggled, whilst slipping into my clothes. I grabbed my black heels and grabbed my black toms putting them into my maxi orange purse, putting in it my lip gloss, mascara, my phone and my wallet, I looked at the mirror and felt happy with what I was wearing I locked the door behind me and knocked on the boys’ door.
