Harry's POV

"No man, I'm telling you she was gorgeous. She had these eyes that just... they spoke to me mate. They told me what she kept withdrawn. I mean we hardly had a conversation, but the few words we did share she said them so seductively." I conveniently left out the part about her tainted wrist to my suite-mate Calum. "I don't think she even knew how fucking hot she sounded." I chuckled.

It's been hours since the plane ride with Jane. I still haven't gotten over her and her... difficulties. I guess it's because I don't know what to think; how to react to her situation. She had this amazingly simple aura to her and I knew there were these little hints that something was not right, but not that she was cutting. I mean no one would immediately jump to that conclusion, right?

"Sounds like someone has a crush!" he laughs while puckering his lips and making kissing noises. He is so immature.

"Ha-ha. I just might, but I don't know where she was headed." I sigh.

"Awe dude. You didn't get her number or anything?" he playfully smacks the back of my head as a way of saying I'm stupid. Which I really am. Fuck.

"No, I didn't. That doesn't give you a right to fuck with me man." I pretend a scowl but it quickly turns into laughter.

"I knew you would give me shit about that." he laughs along.

"So when are you and her planning to do the switching?" I ask him about his and his girlfriend's annual plans.

Every year they make me switch rooms so she can be in mine, even though she's really at Calum's, so they can be closer to each other. They've been together since freshman year and they act as if they were a married couple. It's cute and all, but I always get stuck with her room mates. It's really awkward and then they start getting all... flirty after a while. So what if we just happened to fuck a few times, that doesn't mean we're a thing. It's just a way to pleasure each other.

"Well I'm guessing not today. It's already two in the morning."

"That hasn't stopped her before." I smirk.

"I guess you're right. I mean nobody can resist Cal-Pal for too long." He laughs. "No, that's what love is Harry. You can't ever stand being away from them. They become a part of you." He looks up at the ceiling and inhales deeply.

I scoff.

"Yeah, Yeah. Don't get all soft."

I start dazing off trying to imagine what it's like to be in love. Is it as good as everyone makes it out to be? If I ever love someone will that fill this empty void. Do I even want to love? What if it is all just pure bullshit?

"Yo, Harry. Harry!" Calum waves his hand in front of my face bringing me back down to reality.

"Yeah?" I say already knowing what he's going to tell me.

"So, about the switching rooms thing... Tee just text me an-"

"I know, I know. Time for me to evacuate. It's three a.m. though, did she tell her suite-mate?" I question while grabbing my plaid pajama pants.

"Uhhh, yeah. Mhmm." He looks away from me to the window.

"Alright. See you tomorrow. Take it easy tonight with Tee." I wink.

"Whatever man." He laughs.

I press the home button on my iPhone to check the time.

"Six fifty-eight, right on time." I read aloud.
