A Voice to Remember

Chapter Seven

Kaycee's P.O.V.

"Peter!" Uncle Ben shouted while searching for Peter. I hate this part when Uncle Ben got killed. I kept my eyes on the screen until a vibration in my pocket go crazy. I pulled it out and saw the caller's name.

Jessica Halls.

I slide my finger to the screen and put my phone beside my ear. "Hey Essi! How's your practice yesterday with the kids? I'm so sorry if I didn't call or text you. My phone was dead and I can't find my charger yesterday. Until now, I can't find it anywhere." I paused, waiting for Essi to answer but I can only hear is her breathing . "Essi? Is everything alright?"

"Please come here, Cee. I need someone to talk to." She sounded....not alright.

"Okay. I'll be there in ten." I hung up and went upstairs very quickly. I slipped my coat and my red converse. I ran my way to the front door but I was stopped by Blake's voice.

"Where are you going, sis? I thought you wanted to watch this movie?"

"I want that movie, Blake. But Essi called me, there's something wrong about her."

"What happen to her, 25?"

"I don't know but I have to go now. I'll catch up in our next movie marathon." After that, I ran outside, meeting with the cold air. I continued to brisk walk until I reach Essi's front door. I press the doorbell multiple times. I was being inpatient right now. What could happen to her? Something bad? Or really, really bad?

Duh? It's written all over her voice when she called you? My subconscious said.

Not a good time to be sarcastic! I replied inside my head. Then finally, the door flew open, revealing Essi's puffy eyes. She's been crying?

"Oh my god, are you alright? Are you crying the whole day?" She ushered me inside towards the living room. She sniffed and tears started to stroll on her cheeks. I hugged her tight. I saw her coco on the table and I drink it.

"I saw m-mum." I nearly spill the coco out of my mouth when I heard her.

"Y-you what?" I cleaned my mouth with my sleeves.

"I saw her! With her own family! Her own family, Cee!" She shouted, making her cry more. I was really shock. Mrs. Halls has a new family?

"When?!"

"This afternoon..." She break down again.

"Shhhhhhh...... Don't cry." She nodded slowly. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes until she spoke out.

"Cee, sing for me."

"Okay. What song do you like?"

"Anything."

"How 'bout Shooting Star by Owl City, your fav." She smiled. I cleared my throat and I start singing.

Close your tired eyes relax and then
Count from one to ten and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause its time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are... tonight

Woah, Woah, Woah

Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are... tonight

"Thank you, Cee for being there for me when I needed you." She barely whisper.

"That's what best friends are for, right?"

"Yeah." I looked at her and hug her tight. "Let's forget about that for a while. I wanna ask something else."

"Okay. What's that?"

"Before that incident, what happen? Tell me a story." She smiled knowing that I love stories. They always make me smile if you ask me.

"Me and Ha--"

"OMG! Really?!" She looked at me with a straight face. I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Continue."

"Yeah, I was saying, me and Harry went to Starbucks and talk about....my past." She smiled.

"Really? You never do that to other people except-"

"Except you." She finish my sentence. I wonder why she did that? Is it abou-

"You have feelings for him." She looked at me and smiled. "O. M. G! I knew it! Harry and Essi sit--"

"Shhhh! Shut up, Cee!" I laughed at her 'cause she turned red. She slapped my arm and I stopped.

"Awhhhh, Essi." I complained.

"Just be quiet, okay? Okay?!" She slapped me again.

"Okay! Just stop hitting me, lady!"

I wonder what they're doing...

Harry's P.O.V.

I parked my car in front of our flat and kill the engine. I buried my head to the wheel and sighed. Why have I put Essi in that situation? I should've left her in the bathroom. She was crying the whole car ride and I'm really frustrated. I got out of my car and went inside. I slammed the door, making the lads except Niall look at me.

"Harry, are you alright?" Liam asked. The boys looked at me. Niall's head pop out from the kitchen while he was stuffing his face with some sandwich. Niall went to me and pat my back.

"What's going on, Haz?" He asked with his Irish accent. I went to the kitchen and grab the last sandwich on the table. I stuffed myself. Niall followed me and gave me a confused look. "You know, Harry. You can te--"

"Why have I put Essi in that situation? She was crying the whole ride! Stupido!"

"Wh-"

"I should've been stubborn to her that time! Now, she's crying and really hurt because of me! Fvcking me! I'm a fuvking ass!"

"What's going on?" Zayn asked while Louis and Liam were at his back.

"Can't you fuvking see?! I fancy her, Niall! And....and I did that to her!" My hands were everywhere and I didn't notice that my hand bump on a glass. I tried to catch it whole, but broke in my hands. My left hand was now full of blood. The boys looked at me and panic. Of course, Liam went near me and came to the rescue. I was so numb that I can't feel my hands right now.

"Shit. C'mon. Put the pieces in the sink." He lead me there and I dropped every piece of it. I twist the faucet and cold water started to flow. He put my hands there. "Zayn, can you get me some towel. Louis, first aid please." The two boys quickly move. They gave Liam the things that are needed. Liam did his work.

"Are you okay now, Harold?" Louis asked. I just shrugged in return.

"I'm sorry, Niall for shouting at you. I was just...."

"It's alright, man. I understand that. I feel you." I looked at him and he stared at me. Am I right? Could it be? He liked-

"You're right there." He said with a smile.

Yeah, I'm right.
