6 || STORY OF MY LIFE

2013

"Can I please get a decaf coffee with almond milk and a blueberry muffin?" I nod.

"Name please?"

"Heather." She says.

"Your order will be right up." I say, giving Alice beside me the order. I was about to take the next person in line before a very familiar voice came out through the speakers.

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain... I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days...

"I love this song." Alice sways to the music making me roll my eyes with a smile.

"What can I get for you?" I ignore her, despite my inner self wanting to jump up and down from the excitement.

"You know you're lucky to have known him." Alice says, giving the coffee to the customer.

"Wait, you know Harry Styles?" A girl asks making me scrunch my eyebrows.

I remember Harry telling me he didn't want people mobbing me so whenever anyone asks, I should always say no. "Of course not." I lie. The girl simply gets her coffee and walks away. "Nice going." I tell Alice making her make a face.

"My bad, but honestly - how lucky can you be to be best friends with the hottest popstar of the year? He's more popular than the queen, and his career only just started."

"Sure." I shrug.

"How do you even handle something like that?"

"Well, despite having grown up with him and doing everything together, I will always remember him as being the guy who wiped his boogies on my party dress." I say, remembering when it was my 5th birthday and he had gotten a cold and refused to miss my birthday.

He ended up sneezing and "accidentally" wiped his boogers on my dress.

"Kate, you do now how many people will pay for that type of information? You'd be on the news!"

"Nah, I don't want to embarrass him just yet." I laugh.

After my shift is over, I get a text from none other than Harry with a picture of us both as kids.

How cute x

I smile before replying.

Miss me already?

Don't flatter yourself, my mum sent me them.
