Half A Heart

The Roomate

People say plane rides aren't scary; they are wrong. Once you reach the clouds and fly level, it isn't so bad, but the takeoff and landing are terrifying. My guess is that Harry shares the same fear as me, because he is holding onto the armrests with such force, he might break them.

"Harry!" I say for almost the third time.

He shoots his head towards me. "Hm?"

I can tell that tears are forming in his beautiful green eyes. "Are you alright?" I ask worriedly. He looks as though he might be sick, but I probably look sick too.

"I guess so." He shrugs and releases his right hand from the arm rest for a moment, and places it on my hand. I know he can see me blushing, but I don't think I care.

The seatbelt sign above our heads turns on, and I quickly snap mine in place. Harry does the same, and then looks at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I laugh.

He pauses briefly. "I just can't seem to take my eyes off of you."

"Aaron!" She screams in a strong accent. That must be Danielle- Harry dropped me off at my new apartment shortly after the plane landed.

She is sitting on a sofa along with two other girls, who look vaguely familiar to me.

"Hello." I cautiously spit out. "Nice place."

It really is a beautiful apartment from what I can see. The floor plan is so open, and the windows add gorgeous light to the place.

"Thanks! Liam helped me with some of the interior, but other than that this place was designed by me!" She seems so lively, almost the exact opposite of me. I notice the other two girls walking towards me.

"Hey Aaron! I've heard so much about you from Dani! My name is Perrie!" She speaks with a British accent as well.

"Hello!" I reach my hand out to her, but she pulls me into a hug instead. "I'm dating Zayn, if you didn't already know!" She laughs along with the other girls.

Danielle's other friend seems very quiet and shy, but after a nudge from Perrie, speaks out.

"And I'm Eleanor! I'm with Louis." She also pulls me in for a hug. British people have proven to be very touchy so far.

Danielle mutters something about taking my bags to my room, and leaves me with Perrie and Eleanor.

I join them in the living area which is honestly stunning. I'm not sure how much time and money Danielle put into this place, but it's honestly breathtaking.

"So, tell me a little bit about yourself!" Perrie sings. I'm starting to see why her and Zayn are a couple.

I reach into my bag once again to find the letter,- even though I'm not planning on showing them- but I still can't find it. I made a promise to myself to keep that letter safe, and as of now that promise isn't going too well.

"I, um..." I'm very gladly interrupted by Danielle skipping into the room, her chocolate brown curls bouncing with each step.

"What would you girls say to a night out?" She spits out dramatically. I'm starting to think that Danielle's and Perrie are quite similar.

Eleanor nods, along with Perrie who grabs her purse.

They all stare at me for an answer, but I'm not quite sure if I'm up for a Girls Night Out. The jet leg is actually starting to make me hallucinate.

"I'll pass tonight, I'm really tired from the flight."

After a sympathetic nod from Danielle, Eleanor shows me to my room quickly, and the girls head out the door.

I don't even really have time to take in my new surroundings, because my head hits the pillow hard before I even know what's happening.

Harry P.O.V

I miss her already.

It's only been 4 hours, and I can't seem to stop my mind from wandering back to her. I feel like I'm hiding the world from her- it technically is her world.

Thank goodness the boys don't recognize her, but it's only a matter of time before she finds out, and I can't soften the blow enough to keep her from exploding.

I reach for my phone on my night stand and scroll to her contact. She saw me put it in as Aaron Nickelson, but I changed it to Allyson Thomson when she wasn't looking. I really want to call her right now, and explain everything, but I'm the biggest coward out there, so I shut off my phone completely.

My mind is racing with secrets, lies, betrayals, and heartbreak, so I grab my water and force down two of the pills I used to be so afraid of.
