Bumped Into You.

Chapter 13.

I made some new friends over the past couple a weeks, some living closely in the same street or around the corner. I found it hard to trust anyone else than the boys, because of .. well ya’know .. my boyfriend. But they liked me for who I was. So you had Claire, Sophie, Dylan, Oliver, Lucas and Gracie. The 7 of us. We did loads of fun things. Turns out they’re all going to the same school as I do. So I heard all the gossip, before even starting the first day. We wandered around London, I did got recognized a lot, but they didn’t mind, they found it hilarious that I couldn’t even sneeze while a picture being taken from me.

I skyped almost every night with Harry, sometimes with all the boys, mostly with Louis and Niall. They were having a good laugh, meeting the fans was their number 1 priority. It’s true, what you hear about the boys. They are down to earth, real and honest. All easy going lads, you can have a good laugh with them. And that’s what I probably miss most now. My friends got me a little distracted but they knew I was thinking about the boys.

Gracie, Claire and Sophie were around for a sleepover at Fridays. We lay down on the bed, reading magazines, watching movies and dancing and singing around out loud. Wondering how my parents were coping with listening to this. We became so close in such a short time, it’s almost unreal. Though great, it’s nice to share your thoughts with girls instead of .. well .. Harry for example. Not that it’s not great talking to him, but oh well you know.

Anyway, he clearly thought about me, cause my laptop made an incoming call sound from him.

“Emmssss, it’s Harry!” Gracie saw it at first. I turned down the music, and run to my laptop. *Anwer call*

Immediately his beautiful face appeared on the screen, I put it on full. “Hello beautiful!” he smiled. “Hi curly. How’s a going wherever you are right now?” I smircked. I’m not gonna let him know that I miss him this much. “It’s great here Ems, we’re in France now, and it’s so beautiful here. Reminds me of you.” ‘Awwhhh’ I heard, coming from the other side of the room. I gave them a filthy look. “Hahaha, good. It’s good to see your face again boy, I missed it.” I said, staring into the screen. “I missed you too.” I blew him a kiss.

“Soooooo, who are those girls in the room then, introduce me babe.” He smiled. I turned around to the girls, which were now refusing to come. “Well, then .. come.” I said on a cheeky tone. “He’s not gonna bite you guys or something.” “You don’t know that” came from the laptop. “Shushshh you Harry haha. Graaaaac, come here.” I walked up to her and pulled her on her arm with me. “So Harry, this is Gracie. And ..” I turned around to the other girls, who were now also walking up to me. “This is Sophie and Claire.” “Nice to meet you then. So how are you all? Having a girls night or whuutt?” He smircked. Cheeky boy. “Haha, we are actually, exchanging the latest gossip about you two lovebirds hahah.” Sophie said, laughing. “Oh, and do you like it so far. I’m amazing, right?” Hahahahaaha. Yeh, he’s got humour. “You’re amazing boy.” As I stuck out my tongue. “Do I smell a sense of sarcasm here?” he said. “No, Harry, you’re smelling Niall. He just farted, disgusting boy.” Liam appeared on the screen. “Liaaaaaaaaam!” I screamed in full enthusiasm. “Emsssss, how are you?” he sounded happy. “I’m fine, thanks! So who are all the lovely girls I see there?” They blushed. “Well, this is Sophie, Claire and Gracie.” As I pointed to them individually. “Hiya babes, nice to meet you all!” he smiled. Just an adorable boy.

“Emss, we’re gonna get some drinks downstairs k? Don’t do any dirty things” Sophie winked at me as they walked out laughing to death. I have weird friends. “Sorry ‘bout that .. They’re probably a bit excited to see you haha.” “Well who isn’t right? I mean, I’m such an good-looking guy, who doesn’t want to look at me.” “You fagg, hahah, but you’re right about one thing, you do are good-looking.” I winked at him. “I miss you.” He said, out of nothing. I took my laptop from my desk, lay down on the bed, put it in front of me and looked at the screen. “I know, I miss you too.” I could feel the tears burning behind my eyes. I had to keep myself distracted, but every time I saw him, I just got the urge to see him, hug him and kiss him. “Hiyeh, okay, we’re not gonna think about this. Lemme tell you, I got a little surprise planned for you.” I looked confusingly at him. “What kind of surprise?” “Well, we’re flying to Italy tomorrowmorning, andddddd .. I want you to come a few days to Italy. We have some time off, the signing is in about 3 days so before that, we can spend all the time together, see some things, have dinner, eat icecream, do whatever you want to do!” I believe my heart just skipped a beat. “You mean .. I will be able to see you? Tomorrow?” a huge smile appeared on my face. “But wait .. I can never ever ever afford that, that’s too much.” And so the smile disappeared as quick as it came.

“Don’t worry, I booked you the ticket.” Wait whutt? “No Harry, you can’t pay for me, I’m not a little kid anymore.” “I insist on flying you into here, so deaaaaal with it.” He said with a massive smile on his face. “Promise you will never ever buy me such expensive things again then?” Seriously, I like being spoiled, but he’s not gonna pay for everything. “But I love to spoil you.” He pulled a sad face. “You spoil me to be with me, hold me and kiss me. That’s all I need!” I stuck out my tongue. “Yeh well, you’re my girlfriend and I’ll spoil you whenever I want haha.” Oh that boy. “So the plane’s leaving tomorrow at 12 am, check in is around 11-ish. I called the cab already, he’s picking you up at 10:40 okay? And euhmm, it’s bloody warm over here, so don’t bring to much. Just bring a bag, you know the necessary things.” I smiled. “The girls will kill me for kicking them out of the house so early, but it’s worth it haha, can’t wait to finally see you.” “I know, me too.” ‘Harrrrryyyyyyyyyy’ I heard in the background, ‘you comin’ mate?’ He looked behind him. It was Louis. As soon as Louis noticed me he run up to the screen and planted a kiss on the cam. “Emssssss, how are you?” I smircked. “I’m fine haha, thanks. So what are you guys planning to do then?” “We were just going out for some drinks.” Louis almost screamed from enthusiasm. “Haha, well have fun then. Don’t do any stupid things dear.” I said, back to Harry. “I won’t, not planning to have that much of a drink anyway, wanna be a full 100% yours if you are here.” “Awh you cutie. Now go on, have fun. And give the rest of the boys a hi from me?” He kissed the cam, so did I, then waved goodbye and closed the laptop.

I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling. Within the last few weeks I made a lot of photos, mostly of Harry and me, my old friends at home and my new friends over here.

How much have my life changed since then. Since I was just Emily Woods, the girl who went to ‘Hampshire Road’ and had a small group of friends. Now, within, I’d say, 5 weeks, my life has changed completely, but mostly, forever. A small tear rolled down my cheek. It’s all going so fast. It’s unreal to think about everything.

Gracie stuck her head from behind the door. “Are you guys done talking? We’re bored downstairs haha?” she smirked until she noticed the tear on my cheek. “Woh woh, what’s going on?” she quickly opened the door, closed it behind her and made her way up to me. “It’s nothing, really, I’m fine.” I quickly wiped it away. “It’s just, I was looking at some old pictures and I just now realized how fast everything has been going. I mean, I literally moved in here about 6 weeks ago. It’s just so .. unreal I think.” I quickly blinked my eye before another tear could escape. “Yeh I get you. It’s unreal that you are living the dream that millions of girls want to become true. But see it as a positive, isn’t the live you life now amazing? You have the most amazing boyfriend, we care about you a lot, you live in a great place.” I looked at her, a smile slowly appeared on my face. “I know you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re missing Harry lots, but we can see it babe. The way your eyes light up every time you see a picture of him or talk about him. And honestly, that’s a beautiful thing. Because just earlier, when you were talking on skype, I saw the exact same thing in his eyes. He cares about you, maybe even more than you realize at this very right moment. And I think, that’s a gift. Not many people get the opportunity to be loved by someone this good.” Gracie is the best in these things. She cheers me up every time. “I know, I guess. Thanks Grace, you’re amazing.” And I gave her a big hug.
