Euphonious Memories {H.S}

28

A heavy object laying on top of me caused me to wake up the next morning.

I couldn't breathe. I was hot and sweaty because of the heavy thing on top of me.

I opened my eyes and saw that the heavy thing on top of me was a snoring Harry Styles.

Last night, we must have all fallen asleep talking, because we were on the couch. Harry's head was laying on my shoulder in the crook of my neck, and his tall body was laying on top of my short one.

I had no idea how he got in this position,but I had to get out I couldn't breathe.

I was really claustrophobic and was starting to panic. I tried to sit up, but he started to wake up so I stopped.

It was a really awkward position and I really didnt want him to wake up Because that would have been even more awkward.

I was struggling to breath now. I was trying to squirm out from underneath him when I saw Gemma walk in from the kitchen.

I paused as she laughed hysterically at me. I smiled slightly when she finally stopped.

"Can you please help me." I whispered to her chuckling.

"Sure." She said walking over to help me still laughing softly at the position that I was in.

She helped me out from under him. He stirred a little in his sleep, but didn't wake up.

"Thank you!" I said breathing heavily.

"No problem at all." She said chuckling.  She walked back over to the kitchen and I saw that she was cooking eggs.

"You're making breakfast?" I gasped at the spell of pancakes and bacon. "Mm it smells so good."

"Yeah I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen, but I just couldn't resist." She said smiling.

"It's fine, I don't mind someone cooking for me." I laughed and she joined in.

I sat on the bar stool waiting patiently for breakfast.

"Can I ask you a question?" Gemma said a after a few minutes.

"Sure. Try me." I said

"Are you and Harry...like um...buddies?" She asked through a whisper. I laughed a little too loudly when the words left her lips.

"Yeah right." I said holding out the last word. I laughed at what she was referring to.

"Oh well you two just seem like a couple.  I mean he was looking pretty comfy all snuggled up with you." She laughed.

"Well we are not a couple and we are definitely not sleeping partners." I said a little too mean. "In fact we are completely opposite of that."

Just because Harry and I had kissed like two times didn't mean that we were together.

We actually still hated each other and the kisses were a spur of the moment type of thing.

"Mmmk" She said smirking. Her smirk, in a way reminded me of Harry's.

"I'm serious" I said through a small smile.

"Serious about what?" I heard a deep raspy morning voice ask from behind me.

"Uhh..." Gemma and I shared a shocked look at each other and laughed.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Nothing." We both said in unison.

Later that afternoon, Gemma and I were hanging out and watching tv while Harry was playing the guitar and humming some song that I had never heard before in his room, with the door locked.

"Does he always stay in there?" Gemma asked with wrinkled eyebrows.

"Yep pretty much." I Answered her rolling my eyes.

"So where is Raine? When will she be back? I'm sooo ready to see her. I can't even remember the last time we hung out." Gemma asked me excitedly.

My heart dropped at the mention of her name. Gemma hadn't heard. But then how did she know Raine lived here?

"Oh uh" I took a deep breath. "Gem Raine she's...she was a victim in that shooting." As I told her this, my eyes filled with tears.

Gemma's face immediately fell.

"What?" She asked softly. "What do you mean? No she wasn't."

"Yes she was." I said nodding my head "Harry was in the hospital room with her when she died.

"Oh my God." She said in disbelief. "I must have missed her name on the list they gave me at The Limestone."

Gemma was now crying a river of tears. I scooted over closer to her and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so sorry I thought that you knew." I said.

"What did you do to her?" I hear Harry's voice from behind my back.

"Harry! You didn't tell your sister about Raine?" I asked standing up and walking towards him in anger.

"I...I was waiting for the right time." He stuttered completely caught off guard. "I swear I...I."

"Harry how could you not tell me?" Gemma sobbed from the white sofa.

"I am so sorry Gemma, I swear I was waiting for the right moment. I have been racking my brain of the right way to tell you."

"She...she's really gone?" Gemma questioned sniffling.

"I'm so sorry. I know how close you two were."

After a while of them hugging I had to get something off of my chest.

"Harry, can I speak to you for a minute?"

"Uh yeah I guess?" He said as he wrinkled his eyebrows.

He followed me into the kitchen still looking at me confused.

As soon as we were alone, I immediately said what I had to.

"Harry, I just wanted to make sure that we both agree on something." He looked at me giving me his full attention. "Okay so I know we kissed a few times, but the kisses really didn't mean anything to me. I am pretty sure that they were just a spur of the moment thing, you know? I hope you feel the same way because right now is not really the time for you to be in a relationship. You're dead sister is alive and she just found out that her cousin is dead. On top of all that she most likely has terrible memories from the past year. So I just think that it is best that we just stay away from each other." I said it all so fast that it came out in one breath.

He looked at me for a moment, his sea green eyes looking straight into my blue ones. Then he finally spoke.

"Yeah, sure um...I... yeah I totally agree." He gave me a small smile and slowly turned around to go back to the living room with Gemma.
