Bella

The duvet was piled on top of me along with a blanket when I woke up. I heard everyone chatting downstairs and sighed. It was way too early to talk.

I crawled out of bed and moped downstairs, being greeted by everyone sat at the table. I sat down with Calum and got my phone out, seeing a message from Harry.

Harry- Hey :) You feeling better? Xx

Bella- Much better thankfully... when can I see youuuuuuuuuuu

Harry- Today? I'm skipping school and coming over x

Bella- Friends dont lie- that includes boyfriends :( x

Harry- Good thing I'm not then lol

"Is Harry coming over today?" I asked.

"Yep!" Ashton said, passing me some toast.

I grinned and did a weird dance from excitement. Calum joined in and almost knocked my food off the table which only made us laugh more.

I ate the toast and dragged myself back upstairs to brush my teeth and re do my hair.

Harry wasn't here yet so I lied on my bed and put some music on. Luke and Ashton said goodbye and left for work- Harry arrived a couple minutes later. I heard Calum making sure everything was ok before him and Michael left.

Harry bounded upstairs and entered my room.

"You look much better," he grinned, carefully climbing onto my bed. I nodded and he took my hand gently, kissing my forehead.

"You didn't have to miss school for me,"

"Well I wanted to see you, I've been worried," he said quietly, loosely draping his arm round my shoulder.

"I'm fine and happy to see you," I mumbled, letting my head hit his chest.

"You always say you're fine, promise to tell me when you are just saying that... I'm not gonna judge you,"

"Maybe, I'm just always fine. Wanna watch a film?" I grinned, tracing small patterns on his stomach.

"Is there gonna be a film you haven't already seen?" he laughed, kissing my forehead.

"If we look deep enough, yes,"

However, finding a film I hadn't watched proved more difficult than I thought. It took a good twenty minutes until we just settled on Nemo.

He gently rubbed my back while we watched the film, making me grow tired.

"Go to sleep, I might join you," Harry laughed, laying down properly and pulling the duvet over us both.

"I love you," I whispered, wrapping my arm round him.

"I love you too,"

"You'd think she didn't sleep at all last night, how hasn't she woken up?" I heard Calum say, someone kissing my forehead. Harry was holding my hand and his breath was very close to my face.

"Well done mate, you woke her up," Michael said quietly. I whined and hit my head on Harry's shoulder,wanting to sleep again. He turned over to face me and pulled me in for a hug.

"Harry has to go now," Calum chuckled, making me cling onto him tighter.

"I'll see you at school still,"

"I want you here," I whined.

"Well my mum wants me home," he sighed, kissing my forehead, "get well soon,"

I sulked and let go of him- I'd hardly seen him all day. Calum climbed into the bed next to me and cuddled me, constantly reminding me about how I will get to see him at school.

"Can I go out tomorrow night?" I asked, vaguely remembering mention of a party on our group chat.

"I'm gonna have to go ahead and say no to that one sweetheart, maybe next time,"

"That sucks,"

He kissed my head and turned the tv up.

When Luke got home, he insisted I went on a walk with him. I didn't even have to effort to lay in bed.

"You ready?"

"No,"

"How nice,"

He took my hand and led me outside, the night sky painted with stars. We strolled down to the beach, heading towards some of the rocks.

It wasn't as cold as I expected and the view was actually pretty. He helped me into a rock.

"Why are we here?"

"Because it's quiet," he said, wrapping his arm round me, "tell me how you're feeling,"

"Overwhelmed,"

"That was a quick answer," he chuckled.

"It's true. Everything seems to happen so quickly,"

"That's because you don't allow yourself time to think,"

I sighed and swung my legs back and forth.

"Can I stay at Harry's tomorrow?"

"You saw him today,"

"No, I slept all day,"

"Then aren't you too tired?"

I groaned and hopped off the rock, trudging back towards our house.

"Fine, but I'm picking you up at 10,"
