The second I dropped down on my bed my phone went off.
Hey, I think we should talk. Meet me at our tree? Xx Will.
I'll be there in ten
I text back. She doesn't respond but I can see she's read it. I leave instantly. I know I will be way to early but I haven't been there ever since I moved back. I kind of forgot about the place.
It was our place.
Just walking here makes me feel like the happy kid I used to be. How I would always meet Willow in our tree. Calling each other from home and than sprinting to the tree.
I was about ten back than, I guess. Now I'm seventeen... time passes by so quickly if you really think about it. I remember running down this pathway. Trying to beat her there. It depended every time who won which made it a game.
Back when my biggest worries were if I would be there earlier than her...
But here I am. Guess I beat her today. But I cheated in a way, telling her I would be here in ten.
I look at the carvings we once made. Still being scarred into the tree.
"W.S. + H.S. 4EVER"
"Willow Sage and Harry Styles. Forever." I mumble to myself before climbing into the tree.
We both had our own branch. Mine was the left one. Hers the right one. We would sit there for hours. Talking, gossiping, hiding from our parents. Just living our "rebellious" life.
We were so innocent back than. With no idea of what the world had waiting for us...
I suddenly hear the tree creek. "Hi buddy..." Willow says climbing on her branch.
"Hi." I gave her a little smile back. Not knowing how mad she is.
"I talked to Louis" she says. "Apparently he didn't listen when I told him to just go home."
I can't help but let out a chuckle. "Louis doesn't listen. You should know that." I say shaking my head.
"Well I thought he'd be smarter. But he told me about uhm... the fact that you play every night. He has a list you know?" She say with wide eyes.
"A list?" I ask
"Yeah. Of all the songs he's heard you play including the date." She says smiling. "He cares about you Harry. And I know you care about him even more. And I gave you a hard time but you deserved that."
She's right. I did deserve it at first but it got a little far in my opinion. At least give me the chance to apologize you know.
"Look Harry I know I have nothing to do with your relationship but I know how fragile Louis really is. That's why I got so mad at you. I know how hurt he was after the things you said and-"
"I know too. He just pushed my buttons and I snapped." I say with tears rolling down my face. "I wanted to make it up, to say sorry but he wouldn't talk to me and-"
"I know Harry. It's okay now." She reassures "we're all good now. Okay?"
"Friends?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows.
"Besties!" She says smiling bright.
We both laugh at how we just reenacted the way we became friends.
We talked until the sun went down and kept talking until the sky was filled with beautiful stars. It was about 10 o'clock when I walked home.
"On another night walk Hazz?" I hear his soft voice ask.
"Hi, I just talked to Will. We're all good again."
"Thank god." He says
"What were you doing?" I ask a little confused about why he's sitting in his window.
"Waiting and hoping for you to play..." he admits sheepishly.
"You do this every night?" I ask a little honored.
"Yeah. Basically..." He shrugs.
"I'll be there in a sec." I say smiling.
I run up the stairs, grab my guitar and sit down in my window. I slowly start strumming Have It All and just smile widely knowing he'll actually here it.
