Harper's POV
"Want to watch the game with me sweetie?" Dad asked me as I stared blankly out the window.
"What game?" I spoke, never breaking focus from the world outside.
"The World Cup, what else?" he slightly chuckled.
I nodded and made a lame attempt to look excited about watching the game. My mom was giving me the cold shoulder because of the whole tattoo and other stupid things. I didn't want my dad to be upset with my either so I tried to do everything he wanted to do and make him happy.
She felt like I've changed. I don't think I did but even if I have, it was clearly for the better. I don't exactly feel different, I just feel good and happy. I'd be happier if my boyfriend wasn't on tour, if Alyson was here along with Little Mix and the rest of the boys, but I'll see them all soon enough.
Dad suddenly jumped up in the air and shouted at the top of his lungs in joy. I guess someone scored a point? He high-fived me and I gave him a fake smile. A file. I remember Louis telling me that Harry files when he's around his ex-girlfriends. I'm not sure why he told me that but it's a cool fact to know, I guess.
"Hey Dad," I called and he mumbled a, "Hm?" without breaking his focus from the game.
"Is Danny home?" I asked and he didn't answer. He was still engulfed in the game. I snapped my fingers twice and then waved my hand in front of his face to gain his attention.
"I'm sorry, what?" he asked.
"Is Danny home?" I repeated.
"He's out somewhere."
"Is he at the mall?" I groaned. "I told him to wait for me!"
"He's not at the mall. I think he's with Charlie." Dad said and then started watching the game again.
"Charlie? As in Charlotte Hartley?" I gasped.
"Yes, as in Charlotte Hartley." Dad chuckled. "Why? Is there a problem?"
"N-no." I stuttered. "I was just wondering."
I'm not mad, I'm just shocked. Ever since I made them hang out that one day, they've been hanging out literally everyday. When we came here, Charlie wanted nothing to do with him. She claimed it would be awkward and "not a good idea" if she were to talk to him. Look how the tables have turned...
My phone buzzed with a text and I hoped it was either Harry, Alyson, or Charlie. I need to check up on Alyson. She hasn't really filled me in on the whole trial thing besides the fact that her dad and Sean are in jail. I need to talk to Charlie about this whole Danny situation because I want to know how things are going and what's going on with them. And Harry...well, I just want to talk to Harry.
And look! It's Harry!
Harry: How's Texas treating u?
Harper: Not so good. Mom saw my tattoo & won't even look @ me :*(
Harry: It's ur body. U can do what u want.
Harper: Exactly! U wanna come & explain this 2 her?
Harry: Yup! I'm on my way!
Harper: Don't give me hope like that! I miss u & I wish u could come here.
Harry: I miss u 2 :*(
Harper: When r u having a break? I need 2 c u.
