Harry's P.O.V.

Tuesday

I spent all day doing nothing. I just sat in bed watching movies all day and texting my friends from England. Gemma and my mum had to work. Since I don't have a job yet, I'm allowed to just chill. When they get home, Mum tells me to get ready to go out to dinner. We go to a really fancy restaurant. Mum keeps asking Gem if she's met any boys that she likes yet.

"No, Mum, I haven't met anyone yet."

"Okay, fine. What about you Harry? Met any girls yet?" Mum then asks me.

"Nope. I haven't met any... but there's this one that I've seen around." I say, lying a little.

"Ooooohhhh Harry's got a crush on someone he doesn't even know!" Gemma teases.

The rest of the night was great. We return home and the girls go to bed. I change into sweats and turn the T.V. in my room on, watching a movie. I doze off.


I wake with a start. I had that dream again. My dad... what happened to him. I calm down and go to the kitchen, getting a glass of water. I suddenly hear something. It sounds like voices coming from outside. I look out the window and smirk. Walking out the back door and down to the beach where I see Avery floating in the ocean singing her heart out.

"And I will swallow my pride. You're the one that I love. And I'm saying goodbye. " she sings, still not knowing I'm there, on the beach, listening to her angelic voice.

Avery's P.O.V.

As I'm swimming I start to relax and, not caring about anything, I start sing a few of my favorite songs.

"I can see the city lights
From where I stand on the top floor
And I'm not sure if I'm dead
I raise my hands to clouds
To check if heaven is with me now
Cause the devil's in my bed
She won't love me like she could
She won't hold me like you would
I bid this city goodnight
And cover the street lights like my eyes
When it's quiet I'll go
I'm saying my sweetest goodbye
Under billboards
Of fastfoods and mobile phones
Cause they don't treat me like they should
Cause they don't need me like you would
My toes curl clutched to the edge
I'm filled up with regret
Could you forgive me yet?
Would you know if I fell
From this hotel?" I let the lyrics sink into the water with me. Then start another song.






"Say something, I'm giving up on you.
I'll be the one, if you want me to.
Anywhere, I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.

And I am feeling so small.
It was over my head
I know nothing at all.

And I will stumble and fall.
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.
Anywhere, I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.

And I will swallow my pride.
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.
And anywhere, I would have followed you.
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.
Say something... " I finish the song... and I hear clapping. What the heck?! Nobody was out here at all. I look to the beach to find none other than Harry. I get out of the water, anger boiling in my veins. But not at Harry, at myself for not paying attention to anything. I grab my towel from the beach where I left it and start for my house, not saying a word to him.

"Avery, wait!" oh great. He wants to talk. I turn towards him once I'm close to my back porch.

"What, Harry?" I say, quite coldly.

"I just wanted to say you're a great singer." I glance down, not sure what to say. Nobody's ever heard me sing before... ever.

"Well, thanks." I say, about to walk up the steps for the porch.

"Wait, can I come in?" He asks. I want to say no... but he just looks so sincere and I break.

"Fine, but not long." We go inside, "You can wait here, I'm going to change." I change and come back to the T.V. room where I see Harry looking at the picture of my parents on their wedding day. I clear my throat to let him know I'm back.

"Oh, hey. Are these your parents?" He asks.

"Yeah. Why do you want to know?" I reply.

"I just wanted to say that you look a lot like your mom. Where are they now?" He says.

"Oh. I'm sorry, but you just stepped over the line." I tell him, seeing him frown.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. Do you, um, want to do something?" I don't get it. the other day he was all flirty with me and now its like he's a completely different person. That doesn't change my opinion of him though. I still don't like him.

"Fine. Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

"Sure what movies do you have?"

"They're all in the top drawer. You can pick one out." He picks out Beauty and the Beast. To which I give him a weird look from the couch.

"What? It's a good movie" He says. He comes to the couch after starting the movie and sits very close to me. Too close for my liking. I try scooting away but he wraps his arm around me. I knew he'd still the same annoying flirt from the movie theater.

"Nope!" I say and move down to the floor.

"You know, you felt pretty cold. Don't you want to be warm?" He asks.

"No, just leave me alone. I don't want anything to do with you! Now please, go home." I say... maybe overdoing it a bit. But I'm mad.

"Sorry. I guess I'll just stay out of your hair from now on." He gets up and leaves. Well now I feel bad. I know I hate him and all, but I'm not heartless. I have feelings and so does Harry. I'll apologize to him tomorrow after work. I sit on the couch and finish the movie. I realize that Belle falls in love with someone who she hated at first. Maybe that'll happen with Har... NO AVERY! What are you thinking? You will never fall in love with Harry.
