Chapter 06 ~ Home Visits

Two days couldn't go quick enough for me. I went to work and got the students to do their work, rather than explain my absence to them. Not that I woud anyway, I don't get too personal with them, so telling them I went to see my ex to get our relationship back together is too personal. 

I was leaving work with Jade next to me. She was explaining her weekend, which she let slip she was spending with Zayn. I already knew she was seeing him, him being at her house the other day gave that away. 

"Alright, I'll see you Monday" I waved her off and climbed into Niall's car. My ankle was still sore and bandaged and will be for another two weeks at least, which I'm not too happy about, I'm actually pretty annoyed because I just want to go out and kick the ball around.

"Hey" Niall greeted once in the car completely. 

"Hey" I replied putting on my seat belt. "Could you take me to my mum's? I want to be there when Harry arrives. Though he might be there now..." I rambled on and Niall just shook his head and laughed at me. Just because I was so madly in love with this boy who I haven't seen in so long. 

"Alright mate. Shoot me a text when you're ready to come back yeah?" I nodded.

The trip was short, shorter than I remembered it being, but maybe it was because I was so keen on seeing Harry that it didn't seem long at all. When Niall pulled up I thanked him and took my crutches out and waved him off before making my way up to the front door. I knocked twice and moments later my mum opened the door, greeting me warmly. Not before questioning me on my foot, as everyone has seemed to do when I see them. 

I told her what happened and she just shook her head with a giant smile on her face. I understand it may be amusing to people that I got tackled by a girl, but in my defence she caught me off guard, and I'm sticking to that. 

My mum lead me into the house, explaining that Anne and Harry should be arriving shortly, so while we waited she made some tea and we talked about our lives. I feel for my mum I do. She hadn't found anyone since my step dad died, and before that my prick of a dad left without any warning what so ever. I was one when he left, so I didn't know him, but if he left us then he's a prick. 

I could tell my mum was happy that Harry and I are contact again. I went into a slight depression when Harry cut me out of his life completely; by changing numbers and taking me off social medias. I didn't talk to anyone, only left my room for school, not that it mattered, I never paid attention and didn't do the homework. In a way I was like a zombie. I didn't do anything but walk around. 

When the door bell rung, only Anne ever did that, my mum got up off the couch from her seat next to me and went to answer it. Shortly after the door opened I heard my mum and Anne exchange greetings, as well as sniffles. I guess they hugged one another, than I heard her speak to Harry. He replied nicely, like the good boy he was raised to be, and I loved the sound, music to my ears. 

I heard them all enter the living room where I was seated and as soon as Harry caught sight of me he rushed past our mum's and fell on top of me to embrace me in a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around his back too and hugged him back, not as tight as him, I didn't want to hurt him, I had no idea how weak, or strong, he was at the moment. 

"I missed you" Harry mumbled into my neck. "It's been two days but I missed you like crazy" he pulled back so he was still sitting on my lap, just facing me instead of being nuzzled into my neck.

"I've missed you too" I smiled at the older boy in front of me. I moved some of his hair from his face then rested my hand on his cheek. I brought him down slowly and gently pressed my lips to his, but he pulled away before it got too much for him.
