I Can Love You More Than This (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 21

KATE'S POV

Why is it so hot? I could feel sweat rolling down my skin. I was too tired to even move my hand and wipe my sweat away. I rolled over and fell on something hard. Really hard. I groaned and pried open my eyes. I was facing the ground. I looked up to see where I was. To my surprise, I was actually in my room. I don't even remember going up here after talking to Harry. Wait- Harry did go here, right? But if he did, why can't I remember seeing him leave last night? Maybe he never came after all. That's it! It was probably all just a dream. Harry would never come here to see me anyway. Why would he?

I guess seeing him at the concert and thinking of him and Annabeth on a date gave me bizarre ideas. I stood up from the ground and stretched. A big yawn escaped from my mouth. The sun was shining brightly outside my window. So that's why it was so hot. I was about to walk to my bathroom, when something on my nightstand caught my eye. As I inched closer to it, I noticed that it was a sticky note with a message on it.

'You fell asleep last night. I didn't want to wake you so I just carried you to your room. It was nice seeing you again Kate. You don't know how much I missed you. Xx -Haz'

My heart was pounding on my chest. It wasn't a dream. Everything really did happen. Harry Styles actually visited me. I can't believe that I fell asleep. That's just great Kate. After months of not seeing your best friend whom you also have undefined feelings for, you all asleep in front o him. You definitely made his visit worthwhile. There's so much I want to ask him. We barely even talked much last night. It's over, I guess. I'll never see him again. I wasted my chance last night.

I sighed and walked to my bathroom. My hair was tangled up and it looked like a bird's nest. Thank god Harry didn't stay. I wouldn't want him to see me like this. I took a shower, taking my time as I felt the hot water against my skin. It was really relaxing. Once I was done, I changed into a pair of shorts and a grey tank top. I'm staying here all day so I don't really need to dress up nicely.

I jogged to the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I munched on my food absentmindedly. My thoughts kept going back to what happened last night. Seeing Harry again made me realize how much I missed him too. It was like I couldn't get enough of his smile. Forgetting him is really hard. I can't explain why I can't do it. I feel like a part of me just doesn't want to forget him. But I'll never get to see him again.

A knock on the door startles me back to reality. I stare down at my half-eaten bowl of cereal, suddenly losing my appetite. I put the bowl on the sink and walk to the front door. I wasn't really expecting anyone to come here today. Audrey and Kim told me last night that they couldn't come here today because they were busy. I opened the door. A tiny bit of me expected it to be Audrey and Kim. I was wrong. It was Annabeth. She had a wide smile on her face. She was giggling while I stared at her like she was a weird unknown creature.

"Well, someone's feeling a bit giddy today." I stated, making her giggle again. Okay, this is definitely weird. Annabeth isn't usually like this.

"I had a great time last night!" She exclaimed while gripping my shoulders. I gave her a look that said 'duh'. Even if she didn't mention anything, I know that she had a great time. It doesn't matter if it wasn't Harry, just as long as it was a member of One Direction, I knew that she'd be extremely happy about it. I just laughed at her and gestured for her to come in.

She led me to the living room and we both plopped down the sofa. She told me every single detail about her date with Harry. She kept saying how sweet he was and that he was the perfect gentleman. At some point, I wanted to tell her to stop. It's great to hear how happy she was but it was bothering me a bit. Was I jealous? I can't be. Plus, I had no right to be jealous anyway. The smile on her face didn't even falter as she told me the whole story. I couldn't help but remember something that Harry told me last night. He said that there was a girl that he liked but it wasn't Annabeth. I didn't tell Annabeth though because one, she doesn't know that I used to be friends with One Direction and two, I don't want her to be upset about it. The way she talked about Harry made it clear to me how much she liked him. Whoever the girl Harry likes is, she sure is one lucky girl.
