Change Your Ticket

Chapter 10

A: "Come on Y/N, you need to look dazzling!"

I sighed and rolled and my eyes at my over dramatic best friend. She was trying to make me look as beautiful as she could, even though I didn't want to go over to the top. I was only going out for lunch with Harry, nothing special right? She kept on telling me...

A: "You need to make sure he knows what he's lost and you need to make sure that he ends up begging to have you back!"

Y/N: "Yes, thanks Ash. That's the sixth time you've told me."

A: "Sorry, I'm just too excited. He's so going to try and win you back. You're not going to give in easily right?"

Y/N: "I hope not..."

A: "Oh come on Y/N! You're so much better than that."

Y/N: "Am I though?"

A: "Yes of course you are! Look, you really do need to look pretty."

I sighed and checked the time on my phone and saw that I was meant to be meeting Harry in fifteen minutes.

A: "He's going to come crawling back on his hands and knees like the pathetic person he is. It's going to be so funny. That lying bastard neglected you for so long and now he's going to try and-"

Y/N: "That's enough!"

I stood up out of my chair and stared at Ashleigh with a really cold stare.

Y/N: "Just shut up, okay? I'm sick of hearing it! This is my life, my actions, my decisions, my pain! You know nothing! Stop trying so hard to make me look 'dazzling', it won't work. It's only a friendly lunch out, so just stop!"

I let all of my anger out and finished it with a deep sigh. Ashleigh just sat there and stared at me in shock.

A: "He's the one who's been a total dick to you and I've been here for you this entire time. You know what, forget it."

Y/N: "I don't need your help, I'm fine."

A: "Well I'm sorry for trying! It's my fault you gave yourself a reason to become a fucking punching bag!"

I stared at her in total shock and I felt the tears threatening my eyes.

A: "I don't want you hear anymore, I'm sorry."

Y/N: "Where am I going to stay?!"

A: "You'll figure it out."

She was so blunt and just walked straight out of my bedroom door. What the heck? She had a complete mood change...I tried brushing it off and just headed out the door and waited for Harry on my drive. Suddenly, I heard a car engine slow down and I shot my head up and saw Harry walking towards me.

H: "What are you doing waiting out here?"

Y/N: "Is it illegal to wait on the front doorstep now?"

H: "No it's just I thought that you would be inside..."

Y/N: "Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh."

I sighed and got up, brushing any debris off of my clothes and walked to Harry's car with him and he kindly opened the door for me and then got into the driver's seat.

H: "You can tell me what happened if you want to, but I don't want to pry you."

Y/N: "I...I had an argument with Ashleigh."

H: "Oh I'm so sorry, what did she say to you?"

Y/N: "I would rather not talk about it, but they were very harsh words."

H: "It's going to be okay, she'll cool down soon."

Y/N: "How is it going to be okay when she literally kicked me out?!"

I leaned my arms against the door and sighed heavily.

H: "She what?!"

Y/N: "You heard me correctly. She kicked me out. I have nowhere to go."

H: "Stay with me."

Y/N: "Are you crazy?"

H: "There's enough room in my house and you can stay in the guest bedroom, or I can it doesn't really matter-"

Y/N: "Harry calm down."

I laughed slightly at house much he was rambling and his cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment.

Y/N: "I mean...I'm not sure."

H: "I promise I wont try anything, it's just a...friendly gesture. Yeah, that."

Y/N: "That's really sweet of you Harry but I don't want to be a burden."

H: "You could never be a burden to me."

He looked over at me as I looked over at him and he gave me a reassuring smile. What could go wrong?

Y/N: "Alright, I'll move in with you."

H: "We don't have to talk if you don't want to I-"

Y/N: "Harry stop rambling. Look, I know yesterday I said that I felt like we were strangers but I feel like we are...friends. I feel like we can start over as friends. Just friends."

He sighed and focused back on the road as we turned into a parking space near the  cafe.

H: "I can do that. I promise I'll never hurt you again."

Y/N: "Let's go into the cafe okay?"

H: "We can collect your stuff after our date...Wait I mean um, friendly lunch."

I smiled weakly at him and then got out of the car and walked to the cafe with him. I feel like I'm still dating him but at the same time I feel like complete strangers. I'm probably moving too quickly but there's no time like the present, right?
