Heres To Us 1

Chapter 11

Harry’s POV

“Mum?!” I shout as I walk into our house.

“In the kitchen!” She calls.

“You told me to tell her how I feel. I did and it seems like she doesn’t either. “I slam my fist on the counter.

My mum doesn’t seem startled. “Well, how did you approach her?” She starts guiding me to the couch.

“I don’t know. She asked me.” I shrugged. My mum’s eyes suddenly lit up. “And how did she react when she found out about Cara?”

“She hated me. She left and said that I ditched her for Cara.” I answer. I didn’t get any of this.

“She likes you too Harry.” She laughs. “No, she doesn’t. I just don’t get it, I try to be nice and bring her a project that was due, and she tells me we can’t be friends out of nowhere! What did I do wrong!? I swear I hate women!” I stand up and my mum pulls me right back down.

“You obviously don’t hate women if you’re head over heels for one.” She rubs my back for comfort. “Head over heels?” I give her a weird look.

“You don’t just like Adelaine do you?” My mum sounds confused. “What’s more than like? I can’t love her.” I scoff.

“Harry, you never know. Just wait until she gets home. ” My mum patted my back and got up.

 Adelaine’s POV

“You said that to him!?” Gemma whisper shouts over my shoulder so our math teacher wouldn’t hear her.

“I didn’t know what else to do! I feel stupid! Why the hell would I say that?” I look over my shoulder. “You could have hurt his feelings! Adelaine, that was being a bitch.”  Gemma sighed deeply and continued solving the problem on the board.

I rubbed my face and put my head down. “Adelaine, do you need to go to the clinic?” Mr. Lunsford asked me. “Consoler, actually.” I correct him. “Okay, let me write you a pass.” He nods his head as I collect my stuff.

“Do you need a ride back Ad?” Gemma asks me as we walk out of the school. “Um, no. I need to clear my mind and come up with a good apology for Harry. Maybe a grand gesture? I don’t know.” I shrug.

“You obviously don’t know Harry.”  She laughs. “Why?” I ask. “Because, he doesn’t like big things. Just tell him you’re sorry. Now hurry up and go before you get seen.” Gemma gives me a hug before I start walking towards my house.

“Mom!” I call. “We’re in here!” She calls from the study. “We?” I ask.

 

“We’re going on a vacation with the Styles this weekend.” My dad says happily. “Vacation? Where?” I put my backpack on the floor.

“We’re going to the Bahamas!” My mom seems so happy. She really hasn’t been anywhere since we moved from the U.S. The last time I’ve been back in Cali was for the KCA’s with Gemma.

“Yay.” I say and walk back to my room to get out of my uniform.

I changed into a casual tank top and some shorts. I put my black TOMS on and went back downstairs.

“Where you going?” My dad asks. “I have some apologizing to do.” I sigh and go out the front door. What feels like a daily routine, I walk over my lawn to Harry’s.

Instead of going through the front door, I find a way to climb up to the roof. A tree or a spare ladder. I’m not much of a tree climber, but I don’t have anyone to hold the ladder for me.

I sigh deeply; not wanting to climb the tree. I should’ve worn my Converse.

“Oh look, my knight and shining armor.” I hear Harry open his window. “You’re not helping.” I laugh. “Help me.” I reach my hand out. “Why should I?” He crosses his arms.

“Because you like me and I have very important news.” I say, struggling to hold onto the tree.

“You know you’re messed up for using that against me. What’s the important news?” He doesn’t look like he’s going to help me anytime soon.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being a bitch this morning. I’m so sorry.” I manage to say without regret.  “Apology accepted.” He’s about to shut his window. “Wait!” I stop.

I was still deciding if I should tell him how I really feel or not. “We’re going on a vacation.” I sigh. “I know. Now good night Evans.” He shuts his window and I’m stuck on this tree.
