Stole My Heart
12
When we got home, I dropped my bags by the door, not even bothering to unpack. I fell onto my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I wanted to cry but didn’t have the energy. I heard my door open and the stairs creak as Lucy ascended. The bed shifted as she lay down next to me.
“Everything is going to be fine, Darcy. You’ll see. We’re going to make it through this together,” she whispered. I flipped over and hugged her.
“I know. I’m glad you’re here with me,” I said. She hugged me back. Our phones rang at the same time.
“Hello?” we said in unison. It was the boys.
“Hi beautiful. Did you have a safe flight? Are you home okay?” Harry asked. I heard Lucy murmuring into her phone as well.
“The flight was fine. We just got home. I miss you already,” I said. I waved to Lucy as she left, her phone clutched to her ear.
“I miss you, too.”
I opened my computer and a video call request popped up.
“Babe? Some guy named ‘Harry Styles’ is video calling me,” I teased.
“Who? I don’t like the sound of that guy,” he responded. I opened the call and his face filled my screen. He still had his phone to his ear.
“Oh, this Darcy girl just answered my call. She’s very pretty. She’s also talking to someone on the phone,” he said and I saw his lips moving on the screen.
“Really? That is so weird. This Harry guy is really handsome. His hair is so curly! His eyes are so green,” I said. I bit back a laugh as his face changed on screen. “Don’t let that get to your head.”
He deflated and I full out laughed this time. We hung up and I unmuted my computer. I didn’t know what to say. I stared into his eyes as he looked into mine. I heard Paul calling him in the background. He frowned.
“I’ve got to go now, but I’ll call you tomorrow, okay? I’m glad I got to see you today. I love you,” he said.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting. I’m glad I got to see you, too. I love you.”
I clicked the ‘end’ button and my screen went dark. This was just the beginning of a very long three months, but I knew that I was going to be alright. I closed my computer and changed into my pajamas. I was exhausted from the flight.
“Everything is going to be fine, Darcy. You’ll see. We’re going to make it through this together,” she whispered. I flipped over and hugged her.
