10 || ENGAGED

2015

Two years have gone by and I haven't seen much of Harry, of course not that I could he's too busy touring the world once again, album after album, promoting after promoting, being on radios and TV shows.

By now we were both 21 and he had already accomplished his dream, unlike me. I was barely on my third year in medical school and was barely getting by as opposed to Harry who was ready to retire anytime he wanted.

Am I jealous?

Fuck yes. But still proud of him.

I'm starting to think I should've chosen something else like culinary arts perhaps. I like food, so that wouldn't have been much of a problem.

If it wasn't for my constant need to want to help people, maybe I would've gone for it. Too late now.

As I arrive home, I see my mother outside with Anne planting in the garden my father used to plant in making me smile.

"Good afternoon ladies." I say.

"Hello darling." My mother says.

"What made you want to plant?" I ask, standing under the shade of the tree.

"It's a lovely day, who wouldn't want to?"

"Have you heard?" Anne says making me raise a brow.

"No? Heard what?"

"Harry is engaged!" She chirps making me chock on my saliva. He's what? "Did you not know?"

"I didn't, I haven't seen or heard of him for two years now."

"Well he is busy, but just yesterday he told me the news!" What? How come he didn't say anything to me? What the hell? So much for being best friends.

"That's great." I lie. Why am I lying for? It should be great, he's my best friend! Maybe it's the reason that he didn't tell me, maybe it's because he hasn't spoken to me for two years.

I quickly excuse myself and head upstairs to my room, quickly unlocking my phone and opening up his contact.

I hope you have a happy marriage you fucking prick.

I quickly delete it and type again.

HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME? HAVE YOU BEEN SO INCREDIBLY BUSY YOU FORGOT YOU HAD A BEST FRIEND?

I delete that as well.

Congratulations on your engagement, just heard it from your mum! x

"You fucking dickhead." I groan and fall into my bed.
