After a long day at school, doing math and science, physics and biology, English and French, and hanging out with the girls at lunch, it was finally time to go home. I waited at the front gate for Harry’s land rover to pull around the corner. I don’t know why, but I was excited. Excited to see Harry, to talk to him, to be in his presence.At that moment, I saw it. The big black land rover pulled around the corner and into the car-park of Fulton high.When Harry slowed to a halt, he winded down his window.
“School’s out!” He smiled.
I laughed and walked towards to car, and got in.
“How was your day?” Harry beamed.
“It was alright.” I looked at him.
“What happened?” He asked. Funny how I’d known him for a few days, and he could already read me like a book.
“Oh, just this girl.” I laughed to myself.
“What’s her name?” Harry asked, suddenly serious. It was cute how he furrowed his eyebrows when he went serious, but I kind of hesitated to answer.
“Uhh, I don’t know, I forgot.” I lied.
“Destiny, you’re the worst liar.” He laughed.
“It doesn’t matter.” I said bluntly.
“Well, I guess if you not going to tell me, I’ll make you!” A smiled grew on his perfect face.
“Har-“ I started, but before I could finish, his fingers lightly tickled my sides. I let out a loud shriek, than burst out into laughter.
“Are you going to tell me?” Harry’s smile was as big as ever as he dug his fingers into my sides a bit more.
I laughed even louder, harder.
“La-“ I said, trying to fit something between my long lines of laughter. “Lac-“ Another burst of laughter. “LACY!” I finally got out.
Harry immediately pulled his hands away and sat back in his chair. “You’re a ticklish one, aren’t you?” He laughed.
“You’re gonna use this against me, aren’t you?” I smiled at him.
“Yup!” He smiled cheekily.
It fell silent for a minute, and all you could hear was me, trying to get my breath back from being tickled to death.
“So, Lacy, hey?” He asked.
Shit, I’d told him! I didn’t realise because I was being tickled! Seriously Destiny, fucking seriously? Great.
I sighed. “Please don’t do anything Harry.” I looked at him with pleading eyes.
“Oh, I won’t.” He emphasized the ‘I’.
“Harry, what are you planning?” I whined.
“Oh nothing Destiny!” he smiled cheekily, and pulled out of the car-park.
Pulling into the driveway at home, I saw all the boys out the front, looking up into one of the palm trees.
“What is it?” I asked, jumping out of the car.
All the boys were frowning, and so was Clara.
“Someone’s put a camera up in the tree.” Louis said grumpily. “It was the paparazzi. I can see on the side, it says ‘property of channel 9’!” He finished.
“It’s really bugging us, because we can’t get it down. We’re too big. We’ll break the tree!” Liam giggled to himself. He’s so adorable!
Before I could think of what I was saying, I blurted something out. “I’ll get it!”
“Oh, awesome!” Zayn smiled. Harry laughed. All the others looked at each other, pleased.
What have I got myself into? I seriously need to start thinking before I say.
Even though they were a super, world dominating boy band, they were just like brothers to me. I didn’t know them as superstars, I never have, and probably never will. I decided then and there, that we were family.
“Ok, it’s just up there!” Zayn smiled and pointed up into the palm.
I nodded, and grabbed the trunk of the tree.
With a grunt, I hoisted myself up. I put one arm in front of the other, my legs wrapped around the trunk, slowly moving up towards the camera.
After what seemed like a long climb, I was up in the leaves. I shouted down to the boys.
“Ok, I’m up! But I can’t see the camera!” I yelled.
“It’s about one and half metres in front of you!” Harry yelled back.
I edged myself out along the branch of the palm.
“I can see it!” I yelled proudly.
“Grab it!” Louis called back.
I edged myself out a bit further, slowly and carefully.
I reached for the camera, I was so close, but I needed to go out a bit more. But, I knew that if I went out any further, the branch would give way. So, as I laid flat on the branch, my body wound around it, I yelled out to the boys and Clara below.
“I’m so close, but I can’t reach!” I shouted, directly above everyone.
“Just grab it! Come on!” Louis yelled angrily.
“Louis I can’t! It’s a bit further out, but if I go out any more the branch will give way!” I shouted back.
“JUST DO IT! DON’T BE SUCH A WUSS. JUST GRAB THE DARN CAMERA!” Louis shouted up at me, the anger pure in his voice.
I could hear the others cursing at him for being so rude. The tears welled up in my eyes, my heart hurting from Louis’ remark.
I reached out further, expanding my body as much as possible. Finally, my hand hit the camera. I lifted it up, not realising how heavy the camera actually was. The camera in my hands, I lost my grip and fell from the branch of the palm tree.
I let out a loud, frightened shriek. “HELP.” I said uselessly, as I fell down towards the driveway.
I closed my eyes tightly and braced myself for the ground. I could hear the others gasping and yelling things that sounded gibberish to me as I plummeted down.
Two strong arms wrapped around me with extreme strength. I was curled up into a ball, my eyes still tightly shut, tears running down my cheeks.
“I’ve got you.” I heard a deep, husky voice say soothingly.
I opened my eyes slowly. Harry’s face was inches from mine. His cheeks were red and his eyes flashed worry.
At that moment, I burst into tears, hiding my face in Harry’s chest. He held me tight to his chest. I felt like a little baby, but in Harry’s arms, I felt so safe at the same time.
