First Love // H.S.

54

'Finally you're here! And... Harry.' William calls out when he sees me and Harry entering Maddie's house.

'Yeah, there's a lot of explaining to do, but he's my date and I broke up with Luke.' I tell.
'I'm confused. Are you back together, or what?' William asks.

'No. Olivia and I still need to figure some stuff out.' Harry answers for me.
'Yeah.' I agree.

'But aren't you, like, furious she cheated on you, Harry?' William asks Harry.
'She didn't cheat on me. She fell asleep at Luke's house, and he made it up.' Harry tells.
'What? No, really? That can't be real.' William says surprised.

'It is. I remember what happened. I got something like a flashback. In reality, Luke and I didn't even kiss again at his house. I wanted to call Harry, and Luke literally took my phone so that I couldn't.' I explain.
'Whoa, what the fuck! I knew he was too good to be true!' William calls out.
'Me too, man.' Harry says.

'Harry, I hate it that One Direction is going on a hiatus. But does this mean that we're gonna get solo music?' William asks, completely changing the subject.
'I'm working on some songs, but I can't really tell you anything.' Harry answers.

'Um, you two talk and become friends, I'm gonna find Maddie.' I speak up. William looks at me with his mouth wide open in surprise, then points at Harry while he keeps looking at me.

'Yes, Will, you're talking to Harry Styles right now. I'm gonna find Maddie.' I laugh. William gives me another look full of surprise and fanboy, and I walk away to find Maddie.

I find her kissing Thomas, her boyfriend of almost three years.

'Maddie!' I call at her. She doesn't seem to hear me, neither does Thomas.

'Mads!' I call again, tapping her shoulder. She finally pulls away from Thomas.

'You're here! Tell me what was taking so long!' She calls out excitedly.
'That's a really long story, I'll explain everything later!' I call back. The music is pretty loud, so I have to talk really loudly.

'Is Harry really your date or were you messing with me?' Maddie asks.
'Harry, as in Harry Styles?' Thomas asks.
'Yes. Liv?' Maddie says.

'Yeah, he's over there talking to William.' I tell.
'Oh, I see him!' Maddie calls out.

'You used to like him, right?' Thomas asks, sounding kind of jealous, but in a cute way.

'Used to, yes. No one compares to you, Thomas, no need to be scared. And I'm really not into dudes with long hair.' Maddie says with a chuckle.

'He didn't always have long hair! And he's gonna cut it off to donate soon.' I tell.
'Somebody's gonna wear his hair?' Thomas asks.
'Yes. Isn't that so cool?' I answer.
'Yeah! He's a good dude. Not many people do such thing.' Thomas replies.

'Maybe I'm the one that needs to be jealous.' Maddie says jokingly.
'Nah, no need to be.' Thomas answers.

'Hi, Maddie. Happy birthday.' Harry's voice says from behind me. I glance at him over my shoulder, and unconsciously take a little step backwards to that I'm standing with my back against him.

Ow, shit, that's something I used to do all the time when Harry would stand behind me.

He doesn't seem to mind, since he doesn't step away, or something like that. Instead, he puts his right hand on my waist.

'Hey, Harry. Thank you. Long time no see, how've you been?' Maddie asks politely. She obviously notices me standing against him and his hand on my waist, since she keeps looking down at his hand and then at me, flashing me questioning and confused looks. No jealousy. She's obviously over him and truly in love with Thomas.
