Friends to Strangers

Chapter 4

Previously...

Harry's POV

I whipped my tears and my mum left my room. I lied back down on my bed and pulled the sheets over my head. I must have of fell asleep because my phone had woken my up. I checked my phone and I got sat up and whipped my eyes.

"Harry?"

"Hello?" I reply not recognizing the voice on the other line.

"It's Kaitlyn. How did it go?"

"Not good.."

"Why?"

I was crying again and stayed silent.

"Gemma. She-she's gone."

"Oh, Harry. I'm really sorry."

"I came home and my mum told me and she doesn't know where she went. I knew I should've stayed.."

"Harry, don't be so down on yourself. Do you want me to come over?"

"No, I just want to be alone..." I hung up before she could answer.

Kaitlin's POV

As much as I wanted to support Harry, I knew he needed some time alone. The rest of the day I was just watching films and I got bored after 5 of them.

***

I didn't want to be alone so I went to Jessie's house. I put on a jacket and walked downstairs. I started walking to her house and it was about to rain. I walked as quickly as I could before I got rained on. I got to her house and knocked on the door. She opened the door and she was drunk holding a vodka bottle.

"H-hey K-Kaitlyn."

"Jessie? Why are you drunk."

"My parents are out of town."

"Are you alone?"

"Nope." She walked inside and I followed her, closing the door behind me. Two of the most popular guys were in her house. Trevor and Nathan. Trevor was on the couch and Nathan was sitting on the floor. I took off my coat and sat next to Nathan.

I wasn't surprised that Trevor was here. We are good friends actually. He told me how he was this crush on Jessie so I'm not surprised. Jessie sat on the couch next to Trevor.

"Hey." I told the guys.

Trevor gave me that look that screamed 'OH MY GOD!'. Trevor was one of those cool popular guys but he was different with girls, I guess. "We were playing this game that involved the vodka and I guess, Jessie lost." Nathan mumbled. I could tell he had a couple shots too.

So, we began to play this 'game'. Jessie wasn't as drunk as she was before. I had about 3 shots and so did the other boys.

"You know what I want?"

"What?" I giggle and reply to Jessie.

"Tacos."

"We should go get some." Trevor replies to Jessie.

We got out of the house and wait in front of the car Nathan's. I remember that night when Harry and I got Taco Bell past midnight. I admit, I'm worried about Harry. I had to call him. I had to. I was looking at my phone, questioning if I should call him or not.

"So who's driving?" I ask, looking back to Jessie.

"Um, Nathan? Who else? It's his car."

"Oh, right, sorry." Jessie walks up to me and looks into my eyes, "Are you okay?" She asks me.
