Song for the chapter: One Republic - Say (All I Need)

My mum had agreed to the weekend trip after I promised her to take my books with me. Connor said he wanted to pick me up at 9 on Saturday morning, so I dressed myself warm and was ready with a packed handbag and already waiting on the street, when I saw the car coming.

Taylor and Harry where already in it. Harry got out and took my handbag to put in in the back. As we were standing behind the tailgate he kissed me.

“Good morning”, he whispered.

“It is more than just a good morning”, I said smiling. I felt my heart race since we were spending a whole weekend together.

The cars´ inside was heated and I quickly jumped in. Taylor was on the backseat with me while Connor and Harry were sitting in the front.

We had a travelling time of 45 minutes. First we all were not really chatty since we were all still pretty tired.

After we left Holmes Chapel behind us Connor and Taylor seemed to be a lot more imitate with each other. It was like Holmes Chapel was holding them back to act like they knew each other better than just known foreign.

They were joking and laughing about the same things and I was wondering again why the had this unofficial relationship.

Connor told us some funny stories of Manchesters politics. He is such a nice and funny person. He has a different kind of humour than Harry, but after some time I was laughing really hard about his jokes.

He is confident, but in a way that is rather positive than negative. Connor just seemed like a person, who it was really easy to hang out with.

I liked to see him and Harry fool around about things I didn`t understand at all. Sometimes when one of Harrys` favourite songs came on the radio he was turning the volume up and we stopped talking just to enjoy the song.

Harry was humming again and I was hardly reminded of the ride home after the accident in the bakery. I got the same feeling of coming home and I closed my eyes to be able to enjoy the song to the fullest.

“Clary, look”; Taylor said, grabbing my shoulder and pointing out the window. We were there!

I could see the bigger buildings that were in the city center and I stared out the window, happy about the amazing pulse that were always surrounding big cities.

“It`s beautiful”, I said impressed. Harry looked at me and smiled and I smiled back. I was excited like hell. The weekend could come!

(SOME TIME LATER)

“This is your other house?”, I asked shocked.

“My parents are mostly living here in Manchester. I am just over in Holmes Chapel to finish school”, Connor answered while he was opening the huge door to the even bigger house in the middle of the city center.

When I stared shocked over to him, Harry just raised his shoulders like he was used to it. He carried my handbag like a perfect gentleman.

“Mum! Dad! We are here!”, Connor shouted.

Two pretty people welcomed us excited. Mr. Burton was a tall and handsome man, with glasses that made him look older than he is, but the most stunning thing about him was his calm and pretty nice voice.

Connors` mum was a really thin blonde woman, who looked like she had been fallen out of a high-fashion magazine. I was really surprised that they were so friendly and welcoming, when we were having dinner with them at a huge table in the living room.

Taylor tried hard to show her abilities as a perfect stepdaughter. Harry and Connors` Dad seemed to be really close to each other and I found out that Connor and Harry are good friends since kindergarten. Mr. and Mrs. Burton seemed to be really interested in me since I lived in Germany for the most part of my life and they wanted to know how it is over the bog ocean.

But like most adults Connor`s parents had to get back to work, so we decided to take a look at our room and get ready for a trip to the city.

Connor and Harry should be sleeping in Connors room while Taylor and me got the guest room. It was huge for a guest room, even bigger than mine in Holmes Chapel and had a tall double bed with beige and caramel sheets. I dropped on it and sighed.

“I could get used to living like this”, Taylor said and dropped next to me.

“You could, if you two would stop this unofficial sex - thing”, I said. Now it was Taylors time to sigh.

“Like I already told you Clary, it is not that easy.” I got up on my elbows.

“What is so complicated about it?”, I asked. Taylor starred at the ceiling.

“We met at a party and I think we were both pretty drunk. When had sex that night, so there never had been a getting to know each other – thing. We just got down there before we barely knew each others names. When we met in school on Monday morning the whole situation was just weird. I think we really tried to become friends, but somehow we just always ended up in his or mine bed”, she said.

“So we just kept it in secret and after you have seen the house today, it is pretty clear why.” I looked at her.

“What does this house has to do with you two?”, I asked.

“Clary, my mum is a nurse. She is working nearly 24 hours a day and still earns just enough money so we can keep our little flat, which is as big as Ms. Burtons training room. My dad left when I was a toddler and I recapped class”, she said like that should have been completely clear to me.

“Taylor”, I sat up completely, “you are so pretty and smart and the job of your mum has nothing to do with how great your personality is. Don`t let all these things define you! You are an amazing person and Connor is really stupid, if he wouldn`t have noticed it by now!”, I said angry since she clearly didn`t had the right point of view of herself.

“I hope he did”, Taylor said and sat up next to me.

“And what about you and Harry?”, she asked. “You two had sex! I cannot believe that you haven`t told me by now! Simon knew before me and I thought I am your best girlfriend here.”

“I am sorry, but I really didn`t wanted to bring that up in the car”, I said.

“How come? The last thing I know about is the drunk kiss on that party. Was that enough to jump into bed together?” I punched her shoulder softly.

“As you know he brought me home and he just ended up staying for the night, but nothing happened since I was clearly pretty drunk, but we kissed again the next day and I don`t know.
He came over to check on me and that was something so thoughtful that never anybody did before. I like him Clary. He is so friendly and funny and I like being around him and it just felt right that night and I didn`t wanted any longer for somebody else.”

Taylor squeezed: “You two are so cute with each other! And at least you know now why Harry has the reputation to be a heart-breaker.”

“So he actually broke a lot of hearts?”, I asked quietly.

“Girls just fall really easily for his charming personality”, she answered. I wanted to take some time to let that information sink in.

“We should get ready”, she said excited and gave me no time to think about anything other than outfits and the shoes. I stared at her and the pretty hot underwear she got out of her suitcase.

“What are you looking so shocked? I want to have fun on this trip!”, she said as she saw my raised eyebrows. I looked down to my bag, which had a lot of big sweaters in, but not a piece of things that would turn a boy, especially like Harry, on.

“You still have to learn a lot, chicken”, Taylor laughed. She threw a sexy looking sweatshirt over the bed into my direction.

“That should do it, but we still have to buy some hot stuff to wear under that later”, she said and winked, while she disappeared into the bathroom.

I glanced over at the shirt and sighed. Taylor was right, I was new to all of this. I picked the shirt up and put it on, while I was a little bit frightened of the things Taylor wanted me to wear under it.
