Love Hate

I woke up and stretched. I looked over to the clock. It read 11:27 am.

I moved the covers off of me and walked out of my room, and walked downstairs.

"Hello" I called out.

No one answered.

I walked into kitchen and headed to the fridge. I opened the freezer because I was really craving some ice cream.

I couldnt find any.

"Ugh" I groaned.

I walked back up to my room.

I grabbed a pair of white denim short and put them on. I took my flannel off and grabbed a bra and put it on. I grabbed a black tank top and put that on. I walked to my closet and grabbed the crew neck Harry got for me. It said "Styles" and the last two numbers of his birth year under it.

I grabbed my phone and my purse. I put the purse over my head onto my shoulder as I walked down the stairs I stuffed my phone into my purse.

When I got to the front door I stopped in front of it.

I felt like I had never been outside before.

I grabbed my keys and put my hand on the knob. I slowly opened the door.

It was really bright so I squinted my eyes as I walked to my range rover.

I got in and started it.

I pulled out of the driveway. I headed to the closest ice cream shop. The name of the shop was 'Sprinkles', not very creative.

When I opened the door to the place I was met by a breeze of cool air, and the smell of sugar.

I walked in and walked to the counter to order. The place was completely empty. Which surprised me because it was summer and everyone was out of school.

There was no one at the counter, so I rang the bell on the counter.

"I'll be there in a minute" a girl's voice came from the back.

When she walked out I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was Jess.

She caught my eye and stopped in her tracks. She shook her head a little snapping her out of the stare.

She walked to the register. Now she was standing in front of me.

"H-How can I h-elp you" she stuttered not looking at me.

"Two scoop dish, cookies n cream" I answered her.

She never looked up from the register.

She had a short sleeve shirt on so I looked at her wrist.

Relief washed over my body when I didn't see any new scars.

"That'll be $4.86" she told me. They're ice cream was expensive but it was really good so I was fine with it.

I handed her a five dollar bill, then she gave me my change.

She walked over to the tubs of ice cream that could be seen a window.

The bell on the door rang, indicating that someone else was here.

I turned around to see a woman and a man that looked no older than thirty and a girl that looked about eight.

The little girl ran over to where I was and stood in front of me looking at the various ice cream flavors.

"Emily" her mom called grabbing her. "I'm sorry she just loves her ice cream" her mom said looking at me.

"It's no problem, I was the same as a kid, to be honest I probably still am like that" I said chuckling.

"Here you go" Jess said reaching over the counter and handed me the ice cream.

"Thank you" I said giving her a small smile. She didn't return it.

I walked away, but as I was about to walk out I felt a tap on my leg. I looked down and saw the little girl.

"Don't you date Harry Styles" the little girl asked her eyes sparkling when she said Harry's name.

"Um yeah" I answered her.

"Where is he" she looked around confused.

"He's on tour" I told her.

"Oh, can you tell him I love him" she asked.

I was going to answer, but my phone started to ring.

I took it out of my purse and looked at the screen. Harry's name flashed across the screen. I accepted the call. I put my finger up, telling her just a minute.

"Hi" I said into the phone.

"Hey" he said tiredly.

"I have a little girl who wants to talk to you" I told him.

"Okay" he said confused.

I handed the little girl my phone but she didn't take it.

"Who is it" she asked.

"It's Harry. I think you should be the one to tell him you love him" I said smiling.

She took my phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello" she asked instead of said.

She listened to Harry talk before she said something else.

"I love you" she said a little loud, smiling.

Her parents turned around and looked at her confused.

'Who is she talking to' her dad mouthed to me.

I pointed to my sweater hoping that would help.

"Really" the girl yelled.

He must've said he loved her too.

Her parents still looked at me confused. I walked over to them.

"She's talking to my boyfriend" I told them.

"Why" they asked in unison.

"Because he's from that band One Direction and she wanted me to tell him that she loved him but then he called so I just let her tell him herself" I explained.

"That's really sweet of you, thank you" her mom said.

"It's no problem" I said smiling at her.

I looked at Jess but yet again she wasn't looking at me.

"I'm all done talking to him" the little girl said handing me my phone.

"Thank you" I said taking the phone from her.

"Can I have a picture with you" she asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah sure" I said.

"You don't have to" her dad said.

"No it's fine" I said smiling at him.

I kneeled down next to the girl. Her mom took her phone out and snapped the picture.

I said a small goodbye to them then walked out the shop.

I turned around one last time to look at Jess. She was looking at me but right when I made eye contact with her she looked away.

I wish things would just go back to the way they were.
