Wildest Dreams ~~~ H.S

19.

A cab pulls over and it's a small one. "This'll have to do," Diana moves towards the window that the driver had opened. "Can I sit in the front?" 

"No, sorry. You can only sit in the back." The cab driver snaps back. Someone is in a bad mood today. 

Diana sighs and is trying to figure out how we are all going to fit in the back. Diana smirks at me and sits in the seat all the way to the left. "Maybe you should sit in the middle so Harry can get out first to help you." Harry's eyes light up and he nods. I know he is just trying to be nice so he can help me out, but what am I supposed to do with my big fat cast that won't have room?

I roll my eyes and squeeze in anyway, and Harry gets in after me. I try to shuffle my leg into a better position, but it isn't comfortable at all. "Rockefeller Center, please." Says Diana politely. I know she did this on purpose so I could have a 'moment' with Harry and she can still whisper her stupid nonsense about him in my ear without anyone else hearing.

Harry continues to help me find a spot for my leg. We try moving it to the side near Diana, but she obviously wasn't going to let that happen. "Why don't you put it here," He pats his lap and moves his legs closer to me so it would be comfortable to place my leg there. "You don't have to of course, and it may not be super comfortable, but it would be better than the other options."

Diana elbows me in the shoulder and gives me the 'if you don't say yes, I'm going to be very mad ' look. I hesitate, but before I know it, Diana is grabbing my leg and positioning it onto Harry's. His expression is soft, but I know that I look super tense right now. I would much rather keep my leg in the worse position ever than be doing this right now. But I can't hurt Harrys feelings, so I decide to keep it there.

The car begins to move forwards after everyone is buckled and settled. "Why are we going to Rockefeller Center?" I ask, facing Diana. There is no reason to go to a big tourist destination that is usually busy around this time.

"I just wanted to go! The sun is going to set soon anyways, so we might as well go to Top of The Rock." Harry smiles and places his hand on my shoulder.

"It will be so much fun, don't worry Rae! We could all get dinner right after too," I sink into my seat, much more relaxed. It doesn't sound as bad. Dinner would be fun, right?  "Plus, you have never been there before so you will love a new experience." I sigh. Harry is probably right.

"Okay, fine, you guys win. But I'm not paying for dinner because it wasn't my idea." I say as I cross my arms.

"I'll pay for all of us." Harrys says. Diana and I turn to look at him. I think we were so shocked we broke our necks. Diana knew that I was just kidding, but Harry took it seriously.

"Oh, I was just joking I didn't mean-" Diana pulls me by the ear so she can whisper before I can say anything else.

"Don't you dare say another word. Just accept the free dinner because I don't want to pay for an expensive meal!" She says quietly, letting go of my ear. That was pretty harsh.

"You were saying something?"

"Never mind." I say quickly so everyone can just forget what happened. 

Before we know it, we arrive at our destination. Diana pays and Harry helps me out. I look at the tall building. There has to be 50 floors at least. There are quite a few statues around it and flags of different countries are lined behind a fountain. It's so beautiful. 

Diana leads Harry and me inside. We all look around for a bit, but Diana quickly grabs us and we go to the elevators. She brings us to many stores, and I am mesmerized. This place is huge and well kept. There are a lot of crowds, but I don't mind. It was like nobody knew who any of us were and we could just be normal people for once.

I know that this is something special, and that I am going to remember this for the rest of my life. Harry helps make room for me to crutch through the packed areas and I thank him. He's so sweet for helping me in the car and in here. 

After a little while of going through some shops, Diana takes us back to the elevator so we can go to Top Of the Rock, which is an observation deck at the top floor of the Rockefeller Center. Harry pays for the tickets and we make our way outside. 

It was the most perfect timing; the sun was setting and all of the buildings were starting to sparkle and light up, just like Harrys eyes. The view was perfect. The sky was lined with orange and pink near the ground and the higher it got, the more purple and navy blue it became. It was gorgeous.

I crutch over to the glass railing and it was overlooking the whole city. Harry follows me, but I barely even notice. I was too distracted with all of the things going on down below. There were fewer cars on the road and the street lights were lit up.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Harry asks as he leans against the railing next to me.

"Yeah," I look over at him as he looks at the sky. "But not as beautiful as you." His smile glows, and is so much brighter than the lights in all of the skyscrapers and buildings. 

I hear his soft laugh before he begins to speak. "You're such a flatterer," He looks over at me and his smile is even bigger. "You're beautiful too. Even in your black shorts and plain white crop top."

I roll my eyes and look back at the almost completely dark night sky. I'm so happy that I'm spending my first trip to New York with me new best friends. "Hey! Let's take a picture together for my instagram!" Diana rushes over and pulls out her phone, standing to my left. Harry wraps his arm around me and I feel Diana elbow me again. If she keeps doing that, I'm going to have a permanent indent in my shoulder.

"Fine, but send it to me so I can post it too."
