I awoke the next morning to a knock at my door.
"Hey Licia, can I come in?" I hear Brenden talk with a quite voice.
I looked at my phone to find it was only 5:13am, I sat up puzzled as I said yes.
"Hey, what's up? It's still early."
"I know, I just need to talk to you about Harry." He said with a worrying look in his eyes.
"Okay..."
"Look, I know you like him, it's obvious and don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic for you but Alicia, you're just about to turn sixteen... do you think it's the best idea for you to be getting into something with an international idol? He has so many fans and they can be vicious."
"Brenden, I can handle it myself, and anyway he doesn't like me." I interrupted.
"Please Alicia. Just let me talk.
Look, I saw the video of what happened yesterday and as much faith I have in you, he isn't always going to be there to help you." He sat on the edge of my bed and grabbed my hand.
"I know you have depression and anxiety and that you don't let things said like that go so easily. I just don't know if you can handle the pressure to be in the spotlight constantly. I'm worried about you already, we all are! The whole family. I just don't want anything to happen to you to push you over the edge."
"I know Brenden... That's all I can think of too. Am I strong enough to handle the responsibility of even being a friend to him? It kinda scares me to be honest. But I like him, I really do." I tried to stop my voice from wobbling but it betrayed me.
"I know darling, but what would be best for you?
We're going to Southbank for the fireworks tonight so make sure you're home by 2 please."
"Wait, so I can sped the day with Harry?"
"Yes... Just don't get yourself into any trouble! Mum would kill me." He laughed.
"I love you Brenden... Thank you." I smiled and gave him a kiss before he left my room.
I look at my clock and it's only 5:30. After I decided that I can't get back to sleep, I went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee without waking up the others.
Jason waltzed down the stairs about 15 minutes later with his hair in a mess and eyes half closed.
"Morning! Fancy a cup of coffee?" I smiled.
"If you make it." He laughed, so I headed back into the kitchen and made another 3 coffees as I could hear Brenden and Faith heading down the stairs.
I greeted Brenden and Faith and walked back upstairs with my coffee to see if Harry was awake yet.
'Hey loser, you up yet?'
'Yes, I am in fact' He wrote back immediately
'So, um, I'm free till 2 if you wanted to do anything?'
'Perfect, that works out amazingly!'
'Well, isn't that good! What shall we do?'
'Um? How about I'll come pick you up in an hour and we'll just spend a day at home watching movies and getting to know each other?'
'okay sounds good :) Tell me when you leave and I'll send you the address'
'sweet, see you then! x'
I skipped back down the stairs and told Brenden my plans. He was a little reluctant at first but came around to the idea thanks to Faith.
