Since We Were Kids

Chapter 7

Dinner tonight I didn't say much, I mean I usually don't anyways but tonight I really didn't. My parents usually talk about work and things with the country club so I don't join in as much.

"You okay sweetie?" My dad asks.

"Yeah."

"Tracy whats the matter?" I sigh and look up at my at my parents who are both looking nervously at me.

"Remember when we used to go to London?" 

"Yes, why do you ask?" 

"I had a friend there didn't I?" My moms eyes go wide and my dad looks down at his plate.

"What do you mean?"

"I had a friend that lived in London, right? Be honest?"

"You may have a friend for a little while but it was no one you were close with." My mother is such a liar.

"What was their name?"

"Oh sweetie I can't remember his name, that was so long ago." She tried to give a laugh but it was the fakest laugh I've ever seen her give.

"So it was a guy I was friends with."

"Tracy I.. I was just saying he as in the contex of...why is this so important?"

"Nevermind I was just trying to remember my past is all."

"Well, lets not because there are things I don't want to remember from my past." My mom says and her and dad laugh. I give a smile but thats all, why doesn't she want to talk about Harry? I mean I don't understand it. I finish dinner and go up to my room, when I check my phone I have a text from Harry.

*Hey darling, just checking to make sure we're okay, we're okay right?*

*Yes we are.* I say.

*You don't seem like your okay..I'm sorry I kissed you.*

*I kissed you back..everything is fine I promise :) you have nothing to worry about*

I feel asleep while waiting to see if he was going to text back, I woke up at nine this morning and he had replied with *I always worry about you, I want to you happy and I don't want you feeling pressured around me because of the kiss.*

I just said that I didn't feel pressured and he had no need to worry, he didn't reply after that. I'm suppose to meet Jason today, I shouldn't show up with out telling him like he did me. But I don't want to cause a fight. I get up and shower and get ready to meet him when Harry calls.

"Hello."

"Hello love."

"How are you this morning?"

"I'm great i hope you are as well?"

"I am thank you, again thank you for showing up yesterday. It mean't a lot to me." i say and I hear a small laugh through the phone.

"I was happy to go, I had a great time. So what are your plans today?"

"Well i have to meet Jason for lunch and I-"

"Your going to meet him today? After what happened yesterday?"

"Harry I told you he never shows up there when he says he will. That's just how he -"

"No,  I meant after we kissed Tracy."

"it was a kiss, Harry you and I aren't together. I'm with Jason."

"Wow Tracy, you know what have fun with Jason today." before I can say anything he hangs up. Yeah I could've been nicer about it but I mean he just gets so mad when I mention Jason. I mean I will admit that my feelings for Harry are.. a bit confusing at the moment, so while I'm confused about things Harry can't assume I'm going to leave Jason. Well I know I should after the kiss that I haven't stopped thinking of, but I'm just trying to figure things out right now.
