Lost in The City // H.S.

Chapter 11

"So have you talked to Harry?" Piper asks as we continue to look through the racks of clothes. I give her my famous glare she has earned three times this week for asking that same question.

"No," I state and continue to look at the sweaters in front of me.

"Well have you heard from him?" She questions with her eyebrows raised at me.

She has been questioning me about Harry every time I have seen her this past week and today I am finally getting officially done with the topic.

"He texted me yesterday and asked if I was going to your birthday party tomorrow night, which obviously I am and he should know that," I say annoyed.

"So did you text him back," Piper says dramatically starting to get aggravated at my short answers.

"No I didn't text him back. I ignored him because I still haven't made up my mind about him." I say because I don't want to forgive him, but I also don't want to stop seeing him and talking to him so I am currently irritated at Harry for making me want to forgive him, Piper for continuing to bring him up, and myself for lacking the strength to want to stay away from him.

"So you're not going to forgive him?" She questions confusion clear on her face.

I roll my eyes and groan at her prodding me for information.

"If I forgive him it will be for me not for him. And I haven't decided if it's better for me to forgive him or hate him. So no, I didn't text him back and I'm not going to until I make that decision," I state giving her the answer she has been begging for.

"So how long is it going to take you to make a decision?" She tries to ask casually.

"I don't know Piper, but you hounding me for answers isn't going to help me make the decision," I snap at her.

"Okay I'm sorry," she says putting her hands up in surrender. "How about we talk through it and I can try and answer any questions for you and maybe that will help you in deciding," she says and looks at me sweetly like she's trying not to piss me off again.

"Alright," I sigh as we move to another part of the store to look at shoes. I'm more than happy to listen to her ramble rather than dealing with more of her questions that I can't answer.

"Okay," Piper begins. "So I've known Harry for around three years. I met him through Zayn,"

"Zayn's the drummer right?" I question.

"Yes, I met Zayn at university and then met Liam, Harry, and the other guys through him. I started going to their shows. Which at the time was them playing in shitty pubs nearly an hour outside of the city once a month." She continues.

"Really? That's crazy compared to where they are now,"

"Yeah, they did that for a few months then started to get more regular gigs. A year later they were finally playing at some pubs in the city and now they have their regular schedule at the O'Connells pub, but play another places when they can." She says as we scan the shoes shelves.

I'm a little surprised that she knows so much about the band but I guess she has been friends with all of them for some time now and Chloe is dating Liam so I am sure she shares info all the time.
