Euphonious Memories {H.S}

31.

I was in a deep sleep in an uncomfortable place when I fell and hit my head on the ground.

"Skyler?" I realized that I had fallen asleep outside the apartment door and I fell because Gemma opened it.

"Gemma wha...where were you last night?"

"Erm...asleep in here." She said and pointed to the inside of the apartment. "The real question is where the hell were you last night?"

"I was out here banging on the door waiting for you to let me in! Did you not hear or get any of my calls?"

"Oh my God I am so sorry I was dead asleep and I haven't checked my phone I keep it on silent."

"It's fine." I said agitated. I walk into my apartment and head straight for the couch, burying my face in the pillow. When I start sobbing, Gemma comes and sits next to me.

"What happened?" She asked with genuine concern. "And where is Harry?"

I lift my head out of the pillow and wipe the tears off my face.

"Who knows?" I said through a sob and Gemma gave me a tight hug asking me to tell her everything, so I did.

The Day Before (Harry's POV)

This was the perfect day. Skyler and I were finally (sort of) together. She chose to eat at Panera Bread, so we were sitting there eating, and having a casual conversation, when I noticed a familiar guy sitting in a booth close to us.

I couldn't quite remember where I knew him from, but there was something about him that I didn't like.But I just ignored him and tried to focus on Skyler.

She was so beautiful. Her eyes were like a blue crystal that was so pure and perfect.

She was talking and I wasn't really listening to what she was saying because of the distraction, but she laughed at whatever she was talking about and when she did it felt like the whole world stopped in that moment.

Her smile was perfect. I would  have watched her laugh all day if I could have.

I didn't deserve her. Not after what I was keeping from her. The thing I was keeping to myself was a terrible thing to keep from her.

There was so many, but the big one actually included her, and at that moment in the restaurant I wished I had never done what I had.

All of a sudden, the familiar guy calls Skyler's name out. I then remembered that it was that Ethan guy from the party.

My heart immediately dropped to my feet and my face became hot from anger.

She waved back at him and then he got up and started walking to our booth.

Who the hell did he think he was, walking up and ruining our "date"?

He talked to her for a few minutes and I wasn't listening until he mentioned Skyler being his co-worker.

My heart dropped even further to the ground than it already was at his words.

If she was going to be with him, every single day, she would talk to him even more than she already does.

She would undeniably want him over me. I mean, he wasn't too bad in the eyes and was really fit.

She would obviously like him more. And there was no question that he liked her.
