Curly Hair and Skinny Jeans

Chapter 11- Back Home

We pulled up in the driveway by our apartment building. We had an apartment right by the beach and had a view of the pristine ocean. I unbuckled and went to grab my purse and when I lifted my head Harry had the door held open with some of my bags in his hands. I grabbed two more from the back and kissed his nose as a thank you. He smiled and when I walked infront of him he tapped my bum.

Cheeky.

I smiled and we walked up a pathway to my family-well now just my- apartment complex. When I pulled out my keychain ofcourse I had to drop it. On the ground were two things, a notice from the Seaside Luxury Apartments Office, and another was a stack of envelopes. I picked both things up and oped the door to my home.

"Ta da," I gestured to the kitchen and living room which could be seen from the doorway. The walls were and off white and the floor was hardwood. The furniture in the living room and kitchen was composed of Teal sofas, a flatcreen T.V, a white rug and coffee table, and basic kitchen, island, and dining set all of the same white-wood. A basic beach house. Everything was clean, my mom had been a neat freak. I placed the mail on the island counter and walked through the hallway and pushed open the white door to my room.

My room was somewhat clean. I quickly put some extra laundry in the laundry basket in my closet befor Harry walked in, but besides that my room was pretty basic. A queen sized bed with a zebra comforter, black and white pillows, there was a white desk with my Mac sitting ontop, a dresser with different makeup and perfumes ontop, and a full body mirror as sliding doors to my closet. The perk was having a big sliding door and personal deck outside to look at the ocean. The light from the glass sliding door reflected off the white walls and hardwood floor to add light to the room.

"It's so cute." Harry said as he looked around the room and plopped onto my bed.

"You think ? I'm just glad it's clean." We both laughed as I plopped beside him on my bed.

"Love, anythings clean compared to my mess of a flat." He smiled and kissed my nose and I returned the favor by fluffing up his hair rather playfully. 

"Um, just make yourself at home...I'm gonna look around a bit." I stood up and Harry followed me out of my room and into the living room. He sat on the couch and I turned on the T.v for him. I tossed the remote so it would land near him and the first thing I did was walk into Mikey's room. And there it was, still a mess.

His college football varsity jacket was on his bed and all of his many pairs of shoes were scattered on the floor. There were socks, shorts, shirts, and other disturbing items of clothing on the floor. But what really caught my attention was the collage of photos on his red wall by his bed. I made a path and looked at all the pictures. Many of them were of him and his friends at college parties, football games, and with his girlfriend Tess. Tess, poor Tess, she lost someone she loved just like me, I'd better call her. I kept looking at the pictures and next were pictures of the family, him and our cousins, aunts, uncles, and then us; My mom, dad, Mikey, and me, we were cute. Then, the biggest picture was a timeline, it had about 6 pictures on it.

All of just Me and Mikey.

From when I was a newborn all the way to our photoshoot from before he first left to college as a freshman. And now, he was gone. Forever. The last picture I saw on the wall was another of me and Mikey when I we did a brother-sister dance at my sweet 16, he replaced dad cause he had been dead, I took the picture off the wall and read the back,
