Rylee/Parker p.o.v

I woke up the next morning in a good mood for the first time in a while. The boys left after Harry did and me and the girls decided to go to bed. Today me and Harry were going out for coffee and I was really excited.

I could feel my walls trying to crumble and fall and let him in but that fear was there holding it up. Last night, I let them down a little more than I probably should, but maybe I won't regret it.

It was about 8:30 so I texted Harry quickly asking what time we should meet up and turned on the shower. I stripped down out of my clothes.

A while back I became insecure along with the problems of my family and I haven't even let myself look at my body in the mirror because all I see is a big blob of flesh. I look down and see all these scars I have left on my body and I feel disappointed, but it's one of the only things that still helps me feel alive.

My phone vibrated and I saw Harry had responded saying he would meet me at my house at 10. I sent back an okay and hopped in the shower feeling the stinging hot water droplets on my cool skin.

I washed my hair with my yummy strawberry scented shampoo then conditioned with the same scent. I scrubbed my body with vanilla body wash then shaved my legs just in case I decided to wear shorts or something, which was usually very unlikely.

I got out of the shower wrapping the plush white towel around my body and sneaking quietly back into my room to get a pair of clothes. I grabbed a pair of undies, a bra, pair of black skinnys, and a dark orange knitted sweater. It was 9 already so I threw everything on quickly.

I brushed out my hair deciding to let it air dry and go with my usual make up, concealer, light colored eyeshadow, and mascara to make my lashes look longer. I walked back in my room to find Willow wide awake scrolling through something on her phone.

"Good morning ." I smiled to her. "Morning." she smiled sitting up on the bed. I grabbed my black fossil watch putting it on, and slipping my feet into my leather brown Borelli Sport shoes that Ivy always called "Mouse shoes". After that I grabbed my brown leather shoulder bag and phone deciding I was ready and that's with 20 minutes to spare.

So I decided to sit with Willow for a bit till Harry got here. "So did you have fun last night?" Willow grinned patting a spot beside her on the bed. "Yeah I guess so." I giggled into my hands. "When you fell asleep on Harry, that was the cutest thing. I even took a picture!"

"Willow!" I said smacking her arm and laughing. "Ow! Seriously though, the picture is really cute want to see it?"

"I guess." she lifted the phone up towards my face. I have to admit it was a cute picture I was all snuggled up on him and he looked surprisingly comfortable with me balled up basically laying on top of him. "Send that to me." I blushed telling Willow. "See! I told you it was cute!"

"Yeah yeah I think it's cute." I said giving in. My phone vibrated a few seconds later and it was the picture.

I opened it up and saved it to my phone. When I went to go look at it I zoomed in on my face and I saw a tiny little smile on my face.

Maybe, I did like Harry maybe even a little bit but I don't want to admit it or fall and get hurt because last time I trusted a guy it literally broke me. When I moved over to Harrys face a even saw a slight tug in the corner of his lips and it made my heart swell. That's a feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

A few minutes later I got a text from Harry saying he'd be here any minute so I told the girls I'd be back later and ran down stairs to tell my mom. "Hey Mom, Harry is almost here! I'll see you when you get off work tonight." I yelled through the lower level of the house.
