You and I

Two

Bella was pleased the next day was a Sunday. She could rest. She was so tired from the excitement from the concert the night before that she didn't get out of bed until 10:22 the next morning. It would have been even later but her sister barged into her room, gasping about something that Bella couldn't quite understand because she was still groggy.

"Bells! Bells! Wake up!"

Ugh, so annoying!

"Leave me alone, Ash. Let me sleep." Bella groaned, burying her face in her pillows, folding her arms underneath it. She was nice and warm in her bed, her legs tangled together beneath the sheets. But Ashley persisted just like any little sister and grabbed one of Bella's arms, attempting to drag her out of bed.

"No, you have to wake up!"

"Mmmm, why?" Bella murmured.

"You have to see what Harry Styles tweeted last night! He mentioned us!"

Her sister's statement made her eyes snap open. She lifted her body up onto her forearms, her messy bed hair falling in tangles over her shoulders. She rubbed one of her eyes and her vision finally became vivid. Ashley stood next to her bed, wide awake, wearing a floral dress and her feet were bare. Bella was about to ask Ashley why she was still full of adrenaline but then, another question entered her mind.

"You don't have Twitter. How do you know about his tweet?"

"Mum's got Twitter, remember? I was on her phone when I saw it. Bells, Harry Styles remembered us!" Ashley grinned like a five-year-old, not one that had just turned twelve. Bella wasn't big on social media. She only had a Facebook account which she didn't use much and she would like to keep it that way. No Instagram. No Twitter. No Tumblr. Bella liked her privacy. She didn't brag about things that happened in her life. She hadn't gone on Facebook the night before and posted 'Went to 1D concert tonight. Harry blew me a kiss and I died'. What would be the point in doing that? No-one had to know. It was her business. A memory she only wanted to share with family and friends, not random people on the Internet.

Bella sat up and the sheets fell to her waist. The night was warm so she only had a singlet and boy shorts on. She moved the sheets off her and set her feet down on the carpet that embellished her bedroom floor.

"Right, show me this tweet, then." She said, running her hand through her hair, attempting to untangle some of her locks. Ashley beamed widely and walked quickly out of the bedroom, Bella following her.

The sun was out, steaming in through the large glass sliding door that led out onto the balcony. Their apartment was located in Newtown, not far from Sydney's CBD. They were on the third floor and had a nice view, the Centre Point Tower standing tall in the distance. Their mother was awake and having a coffee, watching a morning show on the HD TV. The living room was spacious with a soft brown couch and two separate armchairs, gentle cushions positioned here and there. The whole apartment was connected with an open kitchen and the dining table just by the kitchen counter so talks could be had if someone was cooking.

"Morning, Mum." Bella croaked.

"Good morning, Bella. Tired from last night?" Jo smiled.

"Yeah, didn't realise I was so deadbeat." Bella responded, opening her mouth to have a little yawn.

"Mum, can I borrow your phone again? I want to show Bells Harry's tweet." Ashley said.

Their mother nodded and unlocked her phone, handing it to her youngest daughter. Bella waited about a half a minute before Ashley shoved the phone screen in her face.

"Look! Read that!"

Bella dropped into a seat by the kitchen counter, taking the phone from her sister. She blinked to adjust her eyes after sleeping for about ten hours. The words on the screen suddenly became clear and Bella fought the urge to gasp.
