I answer him back, “No, what happened?” And look away. “Basically, what happened was, I found you passed out on a table. I woke you up and you started cussing a storm at me.” I mentally laugh. “You tried walking away from me, but you fell. Like always.” He chuckles. “I told you you’re bad luck for me.” I say. “Anyways, I carried you to my ride and brought you here. Once we got here, you started complaining about your dress. Then you asked for a pair of scissors. I didn’t know why at first, but then you cut yourself out of your dress. You were pretty drunk and I thought you’d end up hurting yourself, so I took the scissors away from you and just ripped the rest of your dress off. You climbed into bed and asked if I wanted to ‘sleep with you’ and I handed you a shirt of mine. You were pretty upset that I rejected you. And then you fell asleep. I texted Niall after you fell asleep and told him what happened and to tell Tristen that you were okay.” Oh, so last night wasn’t bad at all. Wait. “Wait, how’d you find me on the table?” “Because I went to the club with Niall. He told me he was going out with Tristen and he wouldn’t tell me if you were gunna be there or not. You never replied to my text. So I tagged along. Did you not know I was there? We danced for half the night.” No.. That wasn’t Harry. It couldn’t be. “I think you’ve got the wrong person. I don’t dance.” I lied. He laughs, “Yes. It was you. You were the only girl that looked like a highlighter last night. Which, may I say, looked very sexy on you.” I start blushing. “Thank you for taking care of me Harry. I should probably get going.” I start to stand up but his hand catches mine. “Why didn’t you text me back?” “I never got a text.” Man. I am getting really good at lying. He starts to get louder at me. “Bullshit. I thought maybe I had the wrong number. So I called your phone when you were passed out on the bed and your phone starting ringing. I know I have the right number. Am I not worth your time?! Do you think you’re better than me?” By the time he’s done, he’s practically screaming at me. I start to feel scared. I take a deep breath. I’m starting to feel nauseas again. I run to the bathroom and slam the door and lock it.. I want him to know I don’t want him in here. I start throwing up the soup. Once I’m done, I decide to lay in the bathtub. I decide to wait for Harry to check up on me so I’ll make him feel bad for yelling at me. He never even knocked.

I feel arms around me. I smell a fresh scent. It smells like heaven. I open my eyes and see that Harry’s carrying me. I start to tense up a little bit. “Shh. Relax, love. I’m just carrying you to the bed.” I wrap my arms tighter around him. I don’t ever want to leave his arm. I feel so safe. He lays me down on the bed and I immediately start to feel tired again. Before I fall asleep, I think I feel him tucking me in. I giggle a little in my head because no one has ever tucked me in to bed.
I wake up and see that it’s morning time. I look around for Harry and see that he’s sleeping on the couch. Has he been sleeping there the whole time I’ve been sleeping on his bed?! He is such a gentleman. I get up and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I go to my phone and see that I have 15 new text messages. I unlock my phone and start reading through them. They’re mainly from Sunny and Tristen asking if I’m okay with Harry and to call them when I get the chance. I send them a group text saying, “hey guys, sorry I haven’t texted back. i’ve actually been rlly sick. dont know y. Harry is taking GR8T care of me tho, feelin much better. Call u when I can. Love u.” I walk over to where Harry’s sleeping and tap his shoulder. He starts to move around. I shake him this time yelling his name. He jerks forward hitting my forehead with his. “OUCH. I would’ve taken a morning kiss instead.” He jokes. “Ha ha ha, very funny. I just wanted to wake you up and tell you that you can sleep on the bed.” He rubs his eyes and asks what time it is. “6:30 in the morning” I answer back. God damn. He looks so sexy when he first wakes up. Oh my gosh.. am I turned on this early in the morning? He starts to walk towards the bed and flops down on it. “Ah, this feels amazing.” He looks over at me. “Well, are you gunna join me?” I wasn’t ready to be asked that. “I don’t mean it like that. I promise I won’t do anything except for sleep. But I can’t control my morning wood.” He smirks. Well, it is 6:30 in the morning. I guess I’ll call the girls to come get me later one when they’re awake. I walk to the other side of the bed and climb in it. I close my eyes trying to pretend that I’m tired. “Carter, I’m sorry for blowing up on you earlier. I was just kind of hurt that you didn’t want to see me. I have a lot that I want to tell you. I don’t want to ruin what we have. Let’s just get some rest and see what happens from there.” My heart smiled. I swear it did. I turn to face him and lay my head down on his chest. I’m pretty sure I could stay this way for the rest of my life.

I love you. I can’t live without you. Please don’t leave me. I wake up with a cold sweat. Woah. I don’t know where I was or who I was talking to, but I swear the dream seemed so real. I notice that I’m laying on Harry’s chest while his arm is around me. I have to pee so bad. I slowly get out of bed without waking him and head to the bathroom. I had brought my phone in with me to call Sunny.
“Hello?”
“Hey Sunny!”
“Hey. Got your text earlier. You doing okay?”
“Yeah. A lot better. I think it was alcohol poisoning. I had a lot to drink and I never drink that much.”
“Oh, yeah. So… tell me everything!”
“I don’t have that much time. I think Harry’s gunna be up soon. But he’s been so sweet to me. I’m kind of nervous about what’s gunna happen next. I think I’ve been wrong about him completely wrong about him. But I’m still not gunna fall for his sweet guy charm. I can’t afford to get heart broken.”
“Well, I’m glad to hear that he’s been taking care of you. Do you want me to come get you?”
“Yeah. I have no clue where I’m at though. Some fancy hotel. Let me ask Harry and I’ll text you. Kay?”
“Sounds good. Love you.”
“Love ya!”
I walk out and see Harry on his phone texting away. “Um, Harry.” “Don’t tell me you’re sick again!” “Hahaha, no. I was wondering where we’re at. Sunny said she’ll come get me.” “Oh.” His voice is sad. “We’re at Bay Club & Marina Hotel in San Diego. The boys and I always stay in this hotel when we’re in California.” I text the name to Sunny. This place sounds familiar. Wait. This is the same hotel the boys were at when I came to hang out with them. So this must be the same room Harry had that girl in. Oh my gosh. They had sex on that bed! The same bed I just slept on with Harry. I need to get out of here. I start running for the door and hear Harry calling my name. I run to the hallway and see a bodyguard standing there. I run past him and towards the elevator. I press the button for lobby as fast as I can before Harry can catch up to me. As the doors shut I realize I’m only wearing a shirt. God, I’m such a mess. Pull yourself together. I get a text. It’s probably from Harry. I look and see that it’s actually from Sunny. “Holy crap. It’s an hour away from our dorm. Just now leaving.” Great. Just great. Now I have to wait an hour in a lobby full of rich snobby people giving me dirty looks. I don’t blame them. I am only wearing a shirt. I walk towards the hotel restaurant and decide to sit at a table. A waiter comes up to me and I tell them that I’m just waiting on someone. What am I gunna do? I can’t sit here for an hour? The waiter will get suspicious. “Carter, there you are! I’ve been running around looking for you. Why’d you run out like that?” I really don’t want to see him. I close my eyes and hear him approach the table. I open my eyes to meet green ones staring at me. I take a deep breath. “Sit down, Harry. I think we need to have that talk now.”
