Euphonious Memories {H.S}

5.

Picture above is what I imagine Skyler and Raine's apartment looks like(the living room)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

About an hour after Harry had arrived at our apartment and I had ran into my room, I was laying on my bed upside down with my feet on the wall reading my book. There was a soft knock on my door so I went to open it. I got up and opened the door seeing Raine standing there awkwardly.

"Hey, Harry and I are going to find something to eat. Do you want to come?" She stood there and couldn't even look me in the eye. She probably felt guilty, but she had no reason to. It wasn't her fault that I didn't like her rude cousin.

"Fine" I sighed rolling my eyes. I grabbed my shoes and followed them out of the door.

"Wait I forgot something." Raine said. "You two go and I will catch up." She then ran back in the apartment.

We walked in silence as I looked at harry from the corner of my eye.

He was walking with his head down watching his feet that were inside of his long Chelsea boots.

At that moment I felt bad. I mean the poor guy barely did anything to deserve this. I decided to try and give him a chance to make a better impression.

"Look harry," I paused not knowing what to say next "I'm sorry for being so rude, I shouldn't have reacted the way that I did and for that, I apologize."

When I looked up at him, he was just standing there glaring at me as usual. "Do you talk?" I blurted out without thinking. So long for being polite.

"Yes I talk. And don't bother apologizing because I don't like you either." With that, he walked at a faster pace away from me leaving me standing alone.

The rest of the day was a blur. I couldn't think of anything (besides the fact that I was a complete brat when he moved in) why harry would not like me. I had never met him before.

We got to the apartment late that night after shopping and eating, we were getting ready for bed. I had been trying to make conversation with Harry all day, but he just brushed me off like I was some sort of annoying toddler.

I saw that he had his guitar leaning against the wall of the living room. He was walking to the kitchen to get some water and was wearing a long sleeved v-neck t-shirt with jogging pants.

"Raine told me you were going to be a writer?" He asked and I nodded clearly stunned that he talked to me first.

"Yeah it's been my dream as long as I can remember." I said walking in the kitchen, sitting on the barstool. He nodded his head. "I heard you're wanting to be a songwriter?"

"It's a long shot,but yeah." He had a water bottle in one hand and with the other he was holding an orange. As he talked I noticed more of his accent.

"Are you from England?"

"Yeah I was born in Redditch." He said seeming a little annoyed now.

"Which side of Raine's family is from England? Because she is American."

"You ask too many questions. I just wanted a little snack not a conversation" he rolled his eyes and turned to walk away. As he was walking in his room I swear I heard him say "especially not with you."

The next morning was a school day. I dragged out of bed as my alarm clock went off at 6am. Harry and Raine were still asleep after I ate breakfast and walked out the door.

I was at my favorite coffee shop in line when I saw a familiar face walk in the door.

"Skyler hey!" Niall said and walked over and gave me a hug. I hugged him back smiling.

"Hey! You never texted me. I started to think you forgot about me."

"How could I ever forget about you?" He asked me. "No. I have just been really busy lately and I don't really get on my phone much."

"Oh yeah I understand. I rarely get on mine. I spend most of my time reading books." I said.

"Hey do you want to walk to school together?"

"I usually ride the bus, but sure" I told him.

We were walking down the sidewalks that led to the university, when all of a sudden, I tripped and fell onto the ground.

"Ouch!" I squealed as I hit the ground. Niall held out his hand for me and I took it, him helping me up.

" Are you okay?" He asked as he helped me up. When I stood up, my face was right in front of Niall's. His arms were around my waist, still picking me up off the ground. He then leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. We came out of the kiss and he smiled at me.

"I am now." I said answering his question.

Everything was great as he walked me to class, until I noticed the pair of green eyes glaring at us from the other side of the road.
