Wildest Dreams ~~~ H.S

8.

I wake up to hear my phone buzzing like crazy. Why are people texting me so much this morning? I check my phone and see that it's Kelsey.

My Dearest ❤️: Kelsey

Drama Queen 🙄: Andrea

My Dearest ❤️:

sorry

Drama Queen 🙄:

oh thats okay! we can make plans for another day

My Dearest ❤️:

Drama Queen 🙄:

I sigh and place my phone down. I completely forgot that we had plans so I don't really mind that she had to cancel. Although I am surprised she had something came up. Hopefully she is okay.

I am about to go back to sleep, but I get another message. I check who it is and it's Michael.

Babe 😘: Michael

Babe 😘: 

hey luv! i just wanted you to know im not free this weekend. i know we were gonna go out for dinner tomorrow, but my mom isn't doing too well. see you later luv

I inhale sharply. Why is everyone cancelling on me? Did I do something? I know his mother has been sick for a while, but he shouldn't have agreed to the date if he knew he probably wouldn't be able to go.

I close my eyes and lay back under the covers. Just as I finally get in a comfortable position, I get another message. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? WHY CAN'T MICHAEL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO RESPOND RIGHT AWAY!

I sit up and check my phone and my anger immediately washes away. It's just Harry. I calm myself down before I read his text. I don't want to sound rude to him because of my boyfriend when it isn't Harry's fault.

I decide I don't feel like texting, I just want to vent and let it all out. I call Harry and wait for him to pick up. I almost break down into tears when I hear his voice.

"Hey," When I don't respond, he can tell there is something wrong. I wish I could just hug him right now. "One moment." Harry hangs up on me and salt streams out of my eyes and into my ears when I lay down on my back.

I try to even out my breathing and wipe my tears away, but they just keep coming. I slip off my bed and onto the floor. Do you ever wish you could just disappear? Is there something wrong with me specifically that the two people I'm closest with keep cancelling plans?

My thoughts dig deeper into my head, but they stop when I hear someone knock on the door. I quickly sit up. Please be Harry, please be Harry, please be Harry. I open the door and there he is, in his pajamas and with tubs of ice cream. His green eyes are full of sympathy when I look at him. 

Without thinking, I run and hug him. He places down the ice cream and pulls me closer. I listen to his heart beating and feel his chest rising slowly when he breathes. I wish he could hold me like this forever and always.

We stay like this for what feels like infinity until I break the hug, knowing Harry would never break it first. "Sorry." I whisper. I am literally praying my voice won't crack. His finger reaches my cheek and it wipes away my tear.

Wow. Very straightforward of you Harry. 

I feel a smile start to crawl across my face as Harry places his hand on my lower back. He leads me to my bed and he goes to get the ice cream. He grabs spoons and walks over to my bed to sit next to me. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" He hands me a spoon. 

"Well, my best friend cancelled plans that we had for like the millionth time in a row. I was fine about it before, but now I noticed it is happening regularly! But it really got to me when the same thing is happening with my boyfriend. I don't know if it's something I did? I just wish they would tell me what I'm doing wrong."

I feel my throat close and my eyes start to burn. I lean on Harry and my tears get on his plain white shirt. "I'm sorry," He shifts to place his arm around me and get more comfortable under the covers. "You don't deserve that. Maybe you could have a talk with them and try to work it out. And it's definitely not something that you did, you are such a sweet and funny person."

I feel him chuckle from underneath me and I smile as I close my eyes. "Thank you so much Harry. I know we just met, but I feel like we have been friends since we were born." 

He places his hand on the back of my head. "Of course, same with me." He puts the spoon into the huge tub of ice cream and tries to shove it in my mouth. When I don't open it, he keeps trying to stick it in but it just gets ice cream all over my face.

I finally give up and eat the spoonful of ice cream. 

Harry grabs the laptop I left on my night stand and opens up netflix. As I suspected, he puts on Love actually. It's one of his favorite movies. Don't ask how I know that, it's the work of the fandom.

We watch it while we continue to eat the ice cream.

I'm so glad I have Harry.
