“They just said they were trying to give you your phone back and you ran off. They were trying to catch up to you.” Tristen explains to me. Oh, so they weren’t trying to hurt me, just trying to give me my phone back. Tristen hands me my phone. “Thanks” I mutter to her. “No problem babe.” I go and sit on my bed. “So, about yesterday..” She pauses. She looks at Sunny and then continues. “We both love you a LOT. And it devastates us to see you so gloomy. We know that Harry was the first guy you ever felt this way about. But maybe he’s just not the one. He knew that you couldn’t offer a long term commitment, so I don’t under why he’s so mad. At least you’re going to London. You’ll meet plenty of new people to help you get over Harry.” “Yeah. I just can’t help but think that maybe if I would’ve told him, we might’ve figured a way to make it work while I was in London.” “Wait.” Sunny said interrupting me. “You want to be with Harry even after you move to London?” she asks me. “Yes.” I say instantly. Oh my gosh. My eyes widen and I look at Sunny and Tristen. “YES. I want to be with Harry. And I just now realized that I want to be with Harry long term. Or however much of Harry I can get.” I look down at my feet. “I’d be lucky if he even looked my way again. I blew it.” “You didn’t blow it. What you might have done was wrong, but we all make mistakes. And if he can’t accept you for a person that makes mistakes, he doesn’t deserve you. You’re not perfect, not even him. Wasn’t he the one that slept with someone else just so he could forget about you? That doesn’t sound so perfect to me. So don’t beat yourself up about it.” “Yeah, you’re so right. Thanks guys.” I go and hug them. “I’m going to miss ya’ll so much.” “We’re gunna miss you more.” “Let’s go out today!” I suggest. “Yeah! How about a girls day at the mall and spa?” Tristen asks. “HELL YES.” I say. “Sounds perfect.” says Sunny.

“Oh. My. Gosh. I’m so exhausted.” I say while throwing all my shopping bags onto my bed. “Today was so much fun!” says Tristen. “Yeah, but tiring.” says Sunny. “Awh. Are you guys really going to bed?!” “YES.” Sunny and I say in unison. “Boo you guys.” She says while sticking her tongue out at us. What are we now, five?

I wake up and hear a voice. “I don’t know Niall. She seems really torn up about what happened. She even said that she wants a long term commitment.” It must be Tristen talking to Niall about me. “I know. I know. But no one’s perfect. How can he point fingers when he’s done things that are just as bad?” She stops and I assume Nialls saying something. “Are you seriously taking his side on this?!” She pauses again. “I’m not taking sides. But she’s my BEST friend. I just want her to be happy. Just the other day you said Harry was moping around while on tour. You know they both need to see each other so they can realize how stupid they’ve been.” Niall talks for what seems like 5 minutes. “Fine, take Harry’s side forall I care. I’m sorry, but I can’t be with someone who is ignorant. We’re over Niall.” And she hangs up the phone. So they are dating!! Well, were. Oh my gosh. I can’t believe they broke up because of me. I hear Tristen sniffling. She’s crying. I decide to let her know that I was listening. “Tristen, I can’t believe you just did that for me.” She looks over at me. “You heard all that?” “Yeah.” I walk over to her and sit next to her. “How long were you guys together?” She takes a deep breath. “He asked me out the night we went to the club with him.” I think back and remember how that was the night before I spent my whole week Harry. “So you guys have been together for almost 2 months and didn’t tell anyone?” “Yeah. We weren’t sure if you and Harry would work out or not, so we didn’t want to make it awkward.” “Awh. Babe. You are so thoughtful. I’m so sorry you and Niall got stuck in the middle of all this.” “It’s okay. I don’t want to be with someone that can’t respect me.” “Well, I want you to know that I will always be here for you. Forever single together!” She laughs a little. “Thanks Car. I love you.” “No problem babe. You’ve always been there for me. I love you too. Now let’s get you to bed.” I step off her bed and let her get situated. I start tucking her in. “Sleep right, don’t let the bed bugs bite.” And I kiss her forehead.
I walk over to my bed and realize that I’m not tired. I take out my phone and decide to text Harry. Yeah, Harry. I need to at least explain to Harry the situation with Niall and Tristen and hope that he can help me get them back together. They wouldn’t have broken up if it weren’t for me, so I’m going to fix what I broke.

“i know i’m that last person u want 2 talk 2 or see, but it’s an emergency. i need u.”
Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit, but that’s the only way he’ll reply back to me. I instantly get a text back.
“Who is this?”
My heart drops. He deleted my number. Well, I don’t blame him.
“Carter”
“oh. Wut do u need?”
“ur help”
“w/ wut?”
“I can’t tell u over txt, I need 2 see u.”
“we’re not in the states.”
Shit. I forgot they were touring the world. What am I going to do now? I decide not to text back because I’ve already made a fool of myself. I put my phone on my night stand and lay down to sleep.

“WAKE UP CAR. Today’s your last full day in America.” yells Tristen. I roll over to face her. “Why do you have to be such a morning person.” I put my pillow around my ears. She jumps onto my bed. “GET UP! GET UP!” UGH. “Okay, okay. I’m up.” “Good. I’m going to shower. You better be ready by the time I get back. Sunny and I have today all planned out for you!” I reach for my phone and see that I have 4 new notifications. I unlock my phone and see that they’re all from Harry. Wait. What?! I see 2 missed calls from him and 2 texts.
“r u hurt?!”
“call me back asap”
Awh. He still cares. Oh boy. He thinks I’m hurt. I text him back.
“Sorry, I fell asleep. No, I’m not hurt.”
“Car, do you care to explain why Harry called me last night asking if you were hurt?” Sunny asks me. “Oh, um.. I texted him about something and fell asleep. Guess he thought I was hurt.” I tell her. “Why did you text him?” “Long story.” I decide to keep my plan of getting Tristen and Niall back together to myself. She looks at me for a second and her face softens. “You know you can tell me anything.” “I know. I just need to do this on my own.” “Alright. Well, we better start getting ready before Tristen comes back and sees us still in our pajamas.” “Yeah, she’d kill us.” I joke while saying. We both get ready and Tristen comes back. “Let’s go eat some breakfast and then your first surprise!”

“OHMYGOSH. THAT WAS SO AWESOME!” I screamed while stepping off the roller coaster. Sunny and Tristen decided to take me to Disneyland. “Heck yeah! That hour line wait was SOOOO worth it.” Tristen says. “Let’s go get something to drink. I’m so thirsty!!” says Sunny. I buy a drink first and find a table nearby to sit at and wait for Sunny and Tristen to get their drinks. I pull out my phone and see that I have a text from Harry.
“glad 2 know ur ok. wut was it u needed?”
He’s not gunna drop the subject, is he? I just delete the text and look up to see the girls approaching me.
