Elena's POV

꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂

"Elle wake up, or I'm gonna go get our costumes myself and you know that will not turn out to be any good. You and I both know this." Harry says trying to shake me awake, I groaned.

Harry and I always went to a costume shop that was an hour away because they always had the costumes that suited us and made people think we were mental. Less than halfway through the trip there I fell asleep. I felt bad because Harry was supposed to wake me up when we were halfway there so I could drive because he didn't like driving for so long because he'd get nervous.

"Okay we both know that won't go well." I said getting up and unbuckling the seat belt. Before getting out of the car I popped a piece of gum into my mouth.

"Come on!" Harry says while picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. I didn't budge, I was too tired to say or fight my way back onto the ground.

Hearing the bells of the door, letting me know we just entered the little store.

"Hey Harry, hey Elena." The cashier says, we've been coming here for at least 7 years now. It first started with Gemma taking us for the first few years until we got our drivers license. From there Harry and I always drove there every year.

"Hey Olivia," Harry says, I wave back. I didn't say anything because I was too lazy to say anything but also because if I said anything it would sound weird since I was upside down. I finally felt my feet on the ground.

"Okay what do you wanna go as?" Harry asks while we both browse through the many options we have.

"Can we go as those?" I say pointing to the Stitch and Angel Kigurumi costume.

"People will think we're dating, won't that bother you?" Harry asks, taking the costume and looking at it.

"I don't care what people say when we're together. Can we go as that please?" I beg, he chuckles and nods his head.

"You want a small right?" He asks while nodding his head. He grabs me the small while he gets his costume in large.

"Alright let's go pay." He says as he walks to the cashiers.

"Is that all for you guys?" Olivia asks, I nod and start to pull out my debit card while Harry does the same. We both groan as I hand him my credit card and he mixes them up.

"You already know the drill Olivia." Harry says, "Left hand." She says. Sadly it was Harry's card she chose.

"Yes haha" He says as he happily gives her his debit card.

I sadly shove my debit card back into my wallet and pout my lip. Harry notices and looks always quickly so he wouldn't get too soft.

"Alright fine! If you want we can get food and you can pay." He says and I smile and nod quickly.

"Alright where do you wanna go Harold?" I say while pulling out of the parking spot.

"We can get Mcdonald's." He says and I nod, putting in the location onto my gps since we still didn't know the way there.

"Alright do you have chicken nuggets like the child you are, I got a burger, we both got fries, and drinks. Yep that's everything." Harry says as he starts to drive away but I stop him before he could move from the window.

"What?" He asks looking at me, "I need to count my nuggets, to make sure I have all 15." I say as I open a box and Harry sighs and facepalms himself.
