MOBILE // harry
I sat on the couch with my feet comfortably perched on the coffee table in front of me. I flipped through the channels on the television, finding nothing exactly interesting. I stopped on a channel that had another re-run of cartoons as I picked my phone up off my stomach. I unlocked it to see no new messages; the only conversations I had went dead. The one I knew who would reply back was Riley, but I didn't really want to fire up a conversation between us two because she wouldn't stop replying -kind of funny seeing as she was the one I was "with". I locked my screen again and plopped my phone back on my stomach and tried to keep my eyes focused on the television.
Ten minutes went by and my mum and Robin came down the stairs dressed nicely and my mum began speaking to me as her feet touched the bottom step.
"Now look, I know you're a big boy," She started with a hint of sarcasm which made me smile because she was trying to be funny, "But if anything happens while we're out and you can't reach us, there's a couple numbers on the fridge; 999, the next door neighbours or Violet -I mean Lucia's mum." She corrected herself as she went into the kitchen and came back out with her purse. I nodded as I placed my feet on the ground and leaned forward. Lucia's number was on my fridge. How the hell did I miss that? I could easily get her mobile number by pulling the "it's for a project" card. Surely her mum would fall for it, wouldn't she?
"Alright." I smiled as I got up to hug my mum before she left.
"I love you." She said into my shoulder before pulling away with a smile. I returned her smile along with an "I love you too" of course. I watch my mum walk out the door first before watching Robin go after trading goodbyes. When the door shut I waited a moment before heading into the kitchen. I looked through the couple of bills held on by magnets until I found the paper.
Emergency.................................................999
Violet, John and Lucia Callaghan...........01477-627-341
Emily, and Collin Hill..................................01477-026-513
Gemma.........................................................01477-931-620
Harry..............................................................01477-722-951
I found the phone in it's charger and I dialed in the number before pressing "talk". I held it up to my phone and waited for someone to pick up. On the third ring, I heard someone's voice instead of the sound that was becoming increasingly irritating.
"Hello?" I suspected it was Lucia's mum.
"Hi. It's Harry. Harry Styles." I said as I leaned against the counter. I placed the paper beside my hip on the counter top as she responded.
"Oh, hello Harry. How are you, darling?" She asked sweetly.
"Grand." I smiled before speaking, "Is Lucia there?" I asked before realizing. That wasn't the plan you idiot. You were supposed to get her mobile right away.
"She is but she's having a nap on the couch. She had a rough day I suppose. Is it something important?" Lucia's mum asked. I could picture Lucia curled up into a ball with a blanket thrown over her, her back moving up and down as she breathed. Stop.
"Sort of," I lied, "We're doing this project in English and I need to contact her some how." I said as I bit my lip. There was actually a project, I just didn't have a partner and neither did she. Hopefully.
