Chapter 10: Half of My Heart

“So officially Harry has expressed his feeling for you! Obviously he likes you!” Erin squealed hugging me.

I felt like I couldn’t breathe and my heart and stomach were constricting from the nervousness. They also had a slight flutter. Tonight I was going on a date with a guy I had been drooling over for the past year. A guy who ever day I thought I feel even more and more in love with. I learned new things that we had in common about him every day. His smile made me smile whether in a photo or in life. And in real life he really liked me. I wasn’t currently in a dream, but just to make sure I pinched myself.

“Ouch!” I yelped as I pinched my sensitive skin a little too hard leaving an immediate and tiny bruise on my forearm. I looked down at it smiling. This was definitely not a dream.

 “What was that for?” Ashley asked shooting me a funny look. She was currently digging in my closet looking for something nice to wear. She claimed the clothes I had brought with me for this trip were not “Date-worthy”.

“I was just making sure I wasn’t dreaming.” I responded happily. At once giddiness took over and once again I thought I’m going on a date with Harry Styles! Me, just a ordinary girl with not much of anything to offer except a bit of humor and weird facts on places I had never been to and things I loved.

“Oh Charlie!” Erin said shaking her head and smiling. She hugged me tightly as her phone beeped. She looked down and read it. “Niall says good luck tonight and that Harry has promised to be on his best behavior. I guess this is supposed to be reassuring to me?” She said laughing as she responded to her sweetie’s text message with the widest smile on her face.

I honestly still couldn’t get over how wonderful they were for each other! I still remember how we would have endless conversations of how Niall and Harry were so wonderful, how Zayn was hot with his model looks, how Liam was so sweet and great looking and how we loved Louis for his humor, and how it would be to meet them. We, scratch that, I would fantasize how they would all like us because, in my opinion, we were awesome! Now here we are on a name-to-name basis. It’s still strange how fast things can change.

Ashley finally came stumbling out of my closet over tossed out clothes that she deemed un-worthy. In her hand she held my Halloween costume from last year. It was a Greek goddess dress that I had made from black curtains. Unfortunately I had deemed unworthy and did a last minute change and instead went as a Weeping Angel from one of my favorite British TV show Doctor Who. Yes I’m a nerd no denying that, but with that costume I won a prize at a social gathering.

“Why have I never seen you wear this?” She asked staring at it like it was holy or something.

“Well it doesn’t suit me. I felt too exposed in it.” I shrugged. She laid it on my bed and went back into my closet pulling out some black sandals. She smiled as she looked at her decision.

“You are wearing this!” She declared. She was very determined at making me look good which in my opinion was a bit hard due to the fact I had an awkward body shape. I looked at the pick and winced.

“Ashley you’re forgetting it’s going to be thirty degrees tonight.” I said reminding her that we weren’t in the summer and even if I wanted wear the outfit she picked out for me, which I didn’t, I would freeze my bum off. I watched as she slapped her head like she had forgotten.
