"The Only Way I Know" (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

I was woken up my the subtle sound of somebody knocking on my door. I did not want to get out of bed. More sleep please thats all I need. The knocking grew louder. I rolled over on my side to see what time it was. My alarm clock said it was 8:30. Yeah definitley way to early to be up.

"Shay!! Come to the door." Ugh why now mom. I rolled over and swung my feet to the side of my bed and sat there for a second trying to wake myself up. "NOW Shay, we don't have all day." Great. "Hold on mum I'm coming give me a sec."

I opened the door to see mum struggle to hold brown, moving boxes. "Oh shit mum sorry." I quickly reached out to grab some of the boxes from her. "Language Shay I tell you all the time." I don't know why she still tells me that I'm 20 years old. God. Whatever.

"Thanks for getting the boxes. I'm gonna take a quick shower and then start packing some of my stuff and putting it into the boxes, yeah?"

"Sounds good dear. If you need me I'll be downstairs." With that she left my room and closed the door. I went over to my dresser and got a new pair of underwear and a bra to put on after my shower and made my way over to my bathroom.

I got in the shower and let the blistering hot water run down over my hair and my body. To me hot showers are the most relaxing things in the world. The hot water seems to relieve all of the stress I could possibly be feeling at that moment. Squeezing some shampoo onto my hand I put it into my hair and started massaging the soap into my hair and scalp. mmm the shampoo smelt of coconut. Then I washed my body and stepped out of the shower. Shit. I forgot my towel out on my bed. And it's freezing in here. Awesome.There was no way I was putting on underwear and a bra while I was soaking wet. I unlocked the bathroom door and walked into my bedroom to find Jade sitting on my bed. Shit. I need to cover myself up and am ass naked right now and my sister is sitting on my bed. As soon as that realization hit me Jades head turned around.

"OMG Shay cover yourself up. Please I don't want to see your boobs." Yeah I didn't want you to see them either my subconsious sarcastically adds. I ripped the towel off my bed and wrapped it around my body and tucked the remander of the towel in at the top.

"So what are you doing in here?" I looked at Jade who was sitting on my bed aimlessly texting away on her phone. "Oh yeah that. Yeah I just heard that you were leaving actually more like moving out. Mum told me this morning."

Well thanks for telling her already mum. That takes a bit of weight off my shoulders. "Yeah I am. I don't know exactly where I'm going yet. I plan to just like drive around until I'm somwhere that feels right."

Jade just nodded her head in understanding. Jades phone rang and she looked down at it. It was a text message. "Okay so that was a text from my friend.But I came in here because even though you make think I hate you I don't. I know I tell you that I do all the time but thats just because I'm mad at dad. Mad at him for everything you know? He tore our family apart and since it was on your birthday I just kinda made you take the blame. When I know you took no part in hurting our family. And I'm sorry I've been such a dick to you these last couple of years. I just want you to know that I love you and I'm gonna be really sad that your leaving but if this is what you want then thats all I need to know."

"This is what I want."

"I can see that. And also I'm sorry for only saying that I don't hate you know when I should of a while ago. Its kinda sucky right? Haha your leaving and I finally apologize. What are the odds?"

"Hahaha I know right. Well I'm happy were on good terms again. I missed my older sister so much."

"I know Shay I've missed my baby sister so much. It's really gonna suck when your gone. It will just be me and mom and you know how boring she can get some times."

"Your not wrong on that one. Hahahaha. She can be a stick in the mud sometimes. But I'll call you everyday and twice if you feel lonely. And don't hesitate to call me either."

"Alright I won't. I love you"

"I love you too." The next thing I know me and Jade are hugging. It felt so foreign but so comfortable at the same time. I haven't hugged Jade in years and there was so many times over the past couple of years that I could have used a hug from my big sister. But I'm not going to say anything now because shes here with me right now. And we made up. So thats all that really matters. Shes here now.

"Hmm Shay where do you want to start?" Jade questions.

"Start what?" I ask.

"Packing you dumby." She picks up a box and lightly tosses it at me. Oh yeah. Whoops I forgot. Well I guess we'll start now.

"Um, lets just start with my clothes. I just pretty much want to take all of them. So lets just start folding all my clothes and putting them in the boxes, yeah?"

"Yep. Sounds good. I'm gonna start in your closet. You can go start on like your underwear and bras. And just go on from there."

"Okay sounds good." Me and Jade starting packing all of my clothes in the boxes. We talked the whole time on what had been going on in our lives. Basically a three year catch up on how our lives had been. I asked her how her last year of college had been going. Since she basically only had like a couple weeks of school left. She said it was the usual. She liked college, opposite of me. She was the 'typical' college girl as you would imagine. She liked to go to every single party that was being held. Every night of the week and stay out until she was so wasted she couldn't remember her name. And then you would here her coming in downstairs knocking random things over and giggling to herself because she couldn't walk in a staight line. Figures. Haha but I loved her anyways.

About four hours later we had finished packing up everything in my bedroom. All my little knick-knacks and what not, the whole way down to tampons and pads. When we had finished it was around lunch time and decided that we would have a bite to eat.

After we ate lunch we started to carry out all of my boxes out to my car. I had an escalade so you could say I had plenty of room for everything. We carried everything out to my car except for a little bag I was going to keep in the passenger seat with me that had like clothes and other over night stuff I would need to keep handy with me.

Once we had finished we both decided that it would be best if I got some sleep because of the long day of driving that I had ahead of me. So I went upstairs and got ready for bed and layed down. I was restless at first, letting my thoughts get the best of me. It's kinda actually sad this will be my last time sleeping in my bed ever. It's such a wierd feeling, like I can't exactly pinpoint it. It's bittersweet. But I have to tell myself, better things await.
