Just The Way You Are. 7.

Chapter 7.

A few days more passed. I kept going to work and I had to deal with all these little girls who wanted to buy "harry and his friends" cookies" and I had to fake a smile for them. It was killing me. Lucy noticed I changed a bit. She told me I looked kind of sad and stuff, and I had to tell her I was feeling sick but that I wanted to go to work and she did as if she believed what I said.

I haven't received any call or message from Harry which made me feel sadder. I thought maybe he wanted to talk or something but on the other hand, he could be mad too. I didn't know why but maybe he thought I was going to understand what he told me. I wish I could understand him and forgive him now but it was all about my pride. I hate it. I hate having the biggest pride inside of me. I think that was one of the reasons why I had no friends or boyfriends. I started to think that I hated myself right now.

I decided to choose Wednesday as my free day this week. I didn't want to choose Saturday because if I chose it, I would be home alone all day thinking about this Harry thing and knowing everyone is out having fun so I decided to work on Saturday.

That Wednesday, I was home alone, sitting on the couch with my blanket. It was raining a lot outside. I was watching some horror film to make me forget about things. I loved horror films though. Suddenly I heard the door knocking. I was so inside the movie that I thought for a moment it could be a murderer. Who on earth wanted to visit me on this rainy day? But wait, Harry's the only one who knows where I live. Well Harry and also Lucy but she never visits me.

I got up from the couch and went to the door, I asked "who is?" but no one replied. I opened the door and saw it wasn't Harry.

"what are you doing here?" I said.

"Cristy, listen to us" Louis said.

"Did Harry send you all here?" I said crossing my arms.

"of course not, he's on his place all by himself" Zayn said.

"why should I believe you all came by yourselves?" I said.

"Cristy stop being rude and let us talk for once in your life" Louis said. I have to admit those words kind of hurt me but I realized he was right. I should stop being like that.

"okay, come in" I said opening the door wider so they could get into the house.

"sit down if you want" I said and they did as I told them. I sat in front of them on the armchair.

At first they all were quiet. I asked them if they wanted to drink something. They told me that they wanted some water. I went to the kitchen and brought the bottle of water with four glasses.

"so..?" I said sitting down again.

"Cristy, you need to talk with Harry" Niall said.

"he doesn't want to talk with us, he's looking sad every single day.." Liam added.

"he's also in a bad mood whenever someone tells him to smile a bit" Zayn said.

"he's not just affected, we're all affected" Louis said.

"if he doesn't work properly because he's sad, we all become sad too because we're his friends and we know how he's feeling right now" he added.

"guys but you don't understand the fact that he lied to me. He hid it all to me" I said looking at them.

Look, we don't know you as much as we know Harry but I'm pretty sure you're feeling like him right now" Liam said.

"you're dying to see him again and you know it" Niall added.
