You & I (Harry Styles)

7. The Eye

-Ria's POV-

The day had been extremely fun with Harry. It felt good to have some company while here in England, seeing as Eliza had basically ditched me. I was a firm believer in "all things happen for a reason and a purpose" and so maybe it was meant to be that I break my phone so that I could make a friend. Though, I wasn't such a fan of the "break the phone" part, but oh well.

I had returned in the evening to my dorm to of coarse, find no sign of Eliza. I sighed.

It wasn't like I necessarily wanted to feel like I felt, but we were in England together for crying out loud! We should've been spending our trip the way best friends spend their trips.

I really hated feeling this way and maybe I shouldn't be. I didn't want to whine, complain, or get into any problems though- I wasn't here to get stressed out.

I breathed in and out and told myself to find a distraction. My attention fell upon the phone Harry had let me borrow. That had been really nice of him to trust me with it.

I sat on the couch and scrolled through the music and smiled. It was almost identical to my own. I decided to connect my email address and all that other stuff to the phone should anything pop up.

Soon after it beeped.

-Is it working good?- the text banner read. I clicked it and it took me to Harry's message page.

-Yes, it's good. Thank you again so much, Harry! I'd be phoneless without you. :)- I sent.

-You're welcome, Ria;) Also, is the music okay?-

-Yeah actually we basically listen to the same exact kind, that's pretty funny.:)-

-Really? That's cool, I told you we were meant to meet haha!;)-

I laughed at his message. - Haha, I'm glad we did! Especially like right now.-

-Why right now?-

-It's just my friend.:/ But never mind about that.-

I didn't want to dampen anyone's mood and I had told myself I wouldn't complain.

-That's what friends are for. :) I mean me, not her, right now. - Harry sent.

I smiled. -Yes, you right now... thank you :)-

-My pleasure haha :) So what are you up to?-

We texted about random stuff for awhile longer when I was interrupted by the front door opening. I sat up alert and looked past the kitchen to see Eliza walking in. She turned around to the doorway.

"So tomorrow, Chad?" she was saying. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, can't wait, Eli." Chad replied and then they kissed and he left.

She was already kissing him?

Eliza walked in all the way and saw me. "Oh, Ria!" she exclaimed. "I didn't know you would be back by now..."

"Have you seen the time?" I asked a little harshly.

"But I thought you'd be hanging out with that guy you met." she said putting her bag down.

I stood up. "And what? Is that all I'm supposed to do? Hang out with some guy I just met?" I said coldly.

"Well, I don't know," she looked uncomfortable. "I'm hanging out with Chad. I thought you would be doing something similar, Ria."

"And spend all my hours drooling over some boy?" I retorted. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I'm off to my room." I had to leave before I said something I regretted.
