I'm in love with my best friend?
I will not give up
I wiped my last tears and looked over at Zach. He had his hair almost like justin bieber. He was also pretty tan and buff.. But .. I don't really like buff guys.. I like guys like Har- no.
"So, what's up with Harry?" He asks looking at the road.
I tried my best to not cry while I talk.
"Nothing. It's complicated." I said looking out the window.
"Alright." He replied.
We drove for a while. I have no idea where we are headed..
"Where are we going to go..?" He asks.
I actually didn't plan to come with Zach. So I didn't really know.. I just needed to get away from Harry and all the 'Tiffany' crap.
"Why don't we just go on our date tonight at 8:00?" I suggested.
"Alright, that's cool with me." He says. "Where do you live?"
I told him the directions and when we arrived, I unbuckled my seatbelt.
"I'll see you later babe." he winks at me.
I smiled and got off and closed the door. He gave me one last smile and drove off. As I walked inside my house, I threw my bag down on the couch. I was about to plop down on the couch and then I heard my mom yell from upstairs.
"AAAHHH!!" She ran downstairs and Toby ran after her.
I giggled. My mom saw him and grabbed a broom near by and pointed the broom at Toby.
"Mom. Calm down. This is Toby." I said walking over to him and picking him up. Toby licked my face. I smiled pulling him off.
"Why is there a dog in your room?!" She said, putting the against the counter.
"Well, I found him when I was walking home from Harry's house. And I couldn't just leave him here. He's just a puppy. I mean look at him! He's too adorable!" I said putting Toby out in my mom's face. She backed away.
"Amy." She sighs. "I-" she looks at my puppy dog face.
"You pick up the dog's crap. Not gonna be my job." She said pointing at me.
I smiled and hugged her tightly. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"
"Yea yea whatever." She said.
I pulled away and walked upstairs with Toby in my arms. I walked into my room and set him down on the floor. He ran his bowl and grabbed it with his mouth and ran back to me. I'm guessing he wants food.
"You want food boy?" I said as I grabbed the bowl and put it back to its original spot.
I filled it up with food and Toby started to eat. Damn that dog is smart. Especially for a dog who has been on the street for who knows how long! He had a pretty smart owner. But must've gotten stupid for losing him abandoning him. Idiot.
I walked to my bed and laid down. I was exhausted. Mostly exhausted of crying. My eyes must have been drained by now. I was tired of crying for Harry. I was mentally and physically tired. I looked over at my bedside table and saw my picture of me and Harry laughing. I crawled to it and grabbed the picture. I had one last glance at it and put it back faced down. I can't stand to look at Harry right now. It brought me sadness. I laid down again and I decided that I should just take a nap to take my mind off things. And to pass time. I was bored. I grabbed my pillow and fluffed it. I laid my head down and closed my eyes. [BZZZ] I sighed and slid my phone out of my pocket and opened it. It had 17 missed calls by Harry and 8 missed messages from him too. I rolled my eyes and ignored them. I opened the new message that I had from Perrie.
Perrie : Hey girl, where are you?
Amy : I'm at my house. I left to get away from all the bullshit.
She replied instantly.
Perrie : Oh ok, glad your safe! Are you going to go on the date tomorrow night?
Amy : No. I decided that I should just go on the date tonight. :)
I put my phone aside. I closed my eyes and finally took a nap.
~ Harry's POV ~
"So what am I supposed to do?" I said looking at my feet.
Liam, Zayn, and Louis were sitting on my couch across from me. While Eleanor and Perrie were sitting on the floor criss-crossed. I was pacing back and forth in anxiety. When school finished, we scheduled a meeting at my house to try and help me out with Amy. No one has came up with an idea.
"Why don't you text her?" Louis says.
"Like I haven't. I called her like 20 times and left 10 messages. She hasn't replied.."
"Eleanor, don't you have Amy's number?"Liam says, looking at Eleanor.
"I do, but I'm afraid she's mad at me for the incident that happened before." El replied looking down.
"What happened?" I asked stopping.
"Well, when Louis told me to tell Amy to call off the date, she got all mad at me and then stormed off." She replied.
"But Perrie has her number too... She can call her." El said looking at Perrie.
"Oh yea! I'll text her right now." Perrie says while she takes out her phone and starts to text.
We all waited to see what Amy had said. Then a while later Perrie speaks up.
"She said that she's at home. She also said that she's going to have her date tonight. I texted her where she was going for the date but she hasn't replied. I think she might be sleeping or taking a shower or something."
"Okay, well, when she replies tell me." I said.
Perrie nods and continues to play with her phone.
A while later passed and everyone left me alone to get my thoughts together. I walked to my room and sat on the edge of my bed. I looked over at my bedside table and saw a picture of me and Amy laughing. I picked it up and stared at Amy. She was so happy. I smiled. I felt a tear fall down my cheek and onto the picture frame. I heard my door open. I wiped my tears and looked at my mom walking to me. I smiled and she sat down next to me.
"Harry. I know your sad because you think Amy hates you right now, but you can't let yourself down because of that. She's your best friend and has been since middle school. I know deep down inside her she still misses you right now." My mom says rubbing my back.
"How do you know?" I said looking up confused.
"Gemma overheard you guys downstairs. She told me. Amy, doesn't hate you, Harry."
"She said she .." Tears started to build up. "She never wants to see me ever again." I said remembering when she said that to me.
"She was probably just really heartbroken at that time and couldn't think straight. I'm pretty sure she didn't mean it forever. She can't hate you forever."
"She sure sounded like it." I said looking down.
"Listen. I want you to stop crying and make things right between you guys. I hate to see you like this and I can tell that you love her. Whenever she's around, you become this happy little four year old who just won a stuffed bear at a fair."
I chuckled. "I do love her. But I don't think she loves me back." I said frowning.
"We'll there's only one way to find out." She said and she kissed my forehead. "You can figure out the rest, right?"
"Yea." I replied.
And with that, she left the room. She was right. I can't let myself down. I have to go make things right. And I will. Once Perrie gets some more information about the date. I looked back at the picture and smiled. I put it back on my bedside table and started to get ready for my plan.
~ Amy's POV ~
"Hey wake up sweety."
I opened my eyes and my vision blurred so I blinked a couple times.
"I need to go to work. I might be home very late tonight so I want you to be careful." She said looking at me.
"Okay.." I yawned. "I also have a date with Zach tonight." I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes.
"Ok, be careful sweety." She kissed my forehead and walked out my room.
"Oh, and Amy?" She says peeking her head at my dorrframe.
"Yes?" I said looking at her.
"Put the dog in the backyard before you leave." And she left.
"Toby! It's Toby!" I said yelling.
"Yea yea whatever!" She yelled back. Then I heard the front door close.
I looked at my phone and it was already 7:12 pm. Thank god my mom woke me up. Then I had another message from Perrie. I opened it.
Perrie : Kay well good luck! By the way, where are you going for your date? :)
I didn't know. We never actually discussed on a place. I texted Zach. I got off the bed and walked to my closet to get my clothes ready. I got a see-through black collar shirt with some ripped jeans and white converse. Wasn't really that ... Dressy for this date. I walked to the bathroom and took a shower. I got out and did the rest of my usual routine when I get ready. I curled my hair again. Same ol' same ol'. I walked out and grabbed my phone. It said 7:58. Hmm. Right on time. I had a message from Zach. I opened it.
Zach : I don't know... I was thinking that cafe on miller street?
Amy : Okay sounds good. :)
And with that I replied to Perrie.
Amy : We are going to the cafe on Miller Street.. :)
[DING DONG] I looked up and continued to text.
Gotta go, Zach's here! :D
I slid my phone back in my back pocket and ran downstairs. Then I forgot to put Toby back in the backyard. I ran back upstairs and grabbed toby and put him outside along with his bowls. I kissed him goodbye and opened the front door. There stood Zach with his hands in his pocket. He is wearing a leather jacket over a blue shirt and had black jeans. I smiled.
"Ready?" He said.
"Yup." I walked out and closed the door.
We walked to his car and I waited to for him to open my door but he just walks to the other side of he car and gets in. I awkwardly stand there and opened the door. I got in and buckled myself. Then he drove.
"You smell good." He says sniffing the air.
I giggled. "Yea that's my vanilla perfume."
"That's what it is." He smiled.
I would always melt for that smile.. But, it's not the same. I'm not the same girl I was.. I would be freaking out right now. Me being in his car, going on a date. But .. I'm not.
We finally arrived at the cafe and it was already sprinkling. Great weather for a date. We got out and walked To the cafe. Everyone on the streets were holding hands and had umbrellas. They looked so cute. On the other hand, me and Zach were just walking. Hmm. Harry wouldn't have done that.
"So, what's up with Harry?" He asks looking at the road.
I tried my best to not cry while I talk.
"Nothing. It's complicated." I said looking out the window.
"Alright." He replied.
We drove for a while. I have no idea where we are headed..
