Nicole's POV
"Harry?" Liam finally chokes out after staring at me, eyes bulging out of his head in shock for almost a minute after my confession. I guess it must have been a huge surprise to Liam that Harry and I have romantic history, since all anyone has ever really known us as was friends.
I nod, not quite wanting to explain just yet, but I know that I'll feel better if I eventually tell Liam.
I stare at the rising sun, illuminating the golden sky, turning the previously blue-tinted world into a mix of pink, orange, and purple hues. It's funny, how you can be thousands of miles away from home, but sunrise looks the same. I think of the days not long ago when I worked in the little coffee shop, watching the sun rise through the windows as I served people on their morning rush to work lattes and pastries, them never looking around to appreciate their surroundings. I, however, love watching the sun rise and set, it fascinates me how so many things can change between sunrise and sunset, how each day is so drastically different from the next. You never know what's going to happen, and that's the beauty of life. That's what gives me hope, that even though my life right now may be a pile of shit now, I never know what today or tomorrow might bring.
My thoughts drift back to Harry, that fateful summer, one of the best of my life. The urge to tell Liam becomes stronger, and I break the comfortable silence, probably exciting Liam, who looked like he was going to pee his pants in anticipation and curiosity about what Harry and I might have had together.
"Well, first of all, like no one, not even Jess knows about this since it's kinda ancient history. But anyway, as you know, Harry and I have known each other for a long time. As kids, we were inseparable, always starting mischief together, playing pranks on kids at our school, splashing around at the lake, trying to score free milkshakes off the old man who owned the local ice cream shop by singing for him. We were like this for years, and eventually our pranks became more complex, on teachers instead of just students, we'd try to sneak into college parties, and instead of singing for milkshakes, we would go to the bar and try to score free drinks. During this time I developed feelings for Harry, but I was too afraid to tell him for fear of breaking up our friendship. And these feelings took years to develop, for me to trust him, until I was sure I loved him, and believe me when I say I don't fall in love easily. The feelings built up, and it was killing me not to tell him, so I vowed that I would. This was around the time girls started noticing him, and soon he had his first girlfriend, just the beginning of the parade of girls he would bring home with him. But could you blame him? He was talented, funny, popular, handsome. I pretty much gave up hope. Then, on the first day of summer, when we were about fifteen years old, we were having a lazy day, sitting by the lake and talking about the past school year, when everything changed."
I pause, taking a breath as the memory of that day floods into my mind.
~~~
I twirl a dandelion around my fingers, breathing in the scent of the grass that I'm laying on, while Harry tries, failing miserably, to braid my long hair.
I take a deep breath, and blow, scattering the dandelion seeds all over the place, closing my eyes and making a wish.
"What'd you wish for?" Harry asks as I open my eyes.
