Or So It Seems (h.s.)

Chapter 5










After dropping Harry off, my mind was a complete mess. Like holy cow. I just spent the day with Harry Styles and got his freaking number! I guess him and i are friends now which psyches me out! It's unbelievable.







A grin was permanently printed on my face. Of course crazy love songs were buzzing on the radio so i turned the volume up and danced around. We've all had these kinds of moments and they are so wonderful. The moments where you just want to dance and be free because you feel on top of the world!

I untangled my hair out of my scraggly bun and allowed it to flow in the natural wind coming from the windows.







When i made it home, my dad was asleep in his suit on the couch. He must have come home early from work..




I walk over to his spot and kiss the top of his head.




Startled, he woke up and grabbed my arm "oh, Lorraine, its just you. Good god, you scared me!"







I giggled. His reaction was a little bit funny. "Sorry dad. Why did you come home so early?"







"Ahh.. My meeting didn't go so well.."







"Is everything okay?" I was generally concerned. He's never come home this early before.




"Yes, yes.. Everythings fine, i'm just in a rough patch, we'll be fine.."







When he said 'we' i know he wasn't just trying to convince me.. He was trying to convince himself too.







Hes always had troubles at work, but i don't think he's done anything bad enough to cost him his job. He always works as hard as he can and does all that he can to support us.







I try to help too but i mostly just get my new things with my paycheck from Twinky's.




"Alright, well i'm going to hit the hay. Goodnight, i love you." I told him.




"I love you" he croaked.




I shut the door behind me and checked my phone to see if i had any messages. Nope. That one was expected. I flip on Ed Sheeran's album and toss my phone onto my duvet.







It was around 9 o'clock so i slipped on my pajamas and pulled my long brown hair into a messy ponytail.







I sent Harry a text that said "Goodnight Harry, thanks again. :)xx" and smiled thinking about everything that happened today.
