A New York Dream

I woke up in the backseat of Justin´s car. I remember how I passed out and the break-up. And the thoughts came back, where am I going to live? What am I going to do? I started to hyperventilate.

-Try to breathe Belle, don´t worry. Everything is gonna be okay.
-I.. I ca.. I can´t.. Breathe..
-Yes you can, in and out. He says and pulled the car over.
-In.. and.. out.. I repeated.
-That´s it, good. Come on, let´s get you inside.

Justin practically carried me in to the elevator. By the time we were on his floor I got my breath back and could walk by myself. We got in to his apartment and I sat down on a chair in the kitchen, the same chair I sat on just a few hours ago.
He prepared some dinner for us while I just sat there and stared. I felt empty inside. After awhile he broke the silences.

-You know you can stay here for as long as you need. He gave me a smile.
-Thanks Justin, but I just want to start over you know? I smiled back.
-Yeah, I understand. But at least stay until you find a place to live.
-Okay, thanks. I said and my thoughts went to my friend Willa.
-Aren´t Willa moving to LA? I asked Justin.
-I think so, yeah. Why? He looked curious.
-Then maybe I can take her apartment! I went to get my phone and called Willa.
-Willa, hi! It´s Belle.
-Belle! How are you? She sounded happy but worried.
-I´m fine. I´m at Justin´s. A quick question?
-Okay good. Yes, shoot.
-Are you still looking for a buyer for your apartment? I asked and crossed my fingers that she still was.
-Yes, actually I´m in New York now to meet a buyer. Why? She said and my mood sank.
-Because I need a place and I thought maybe yours was still available.
-Oh Belle.. I´m waiting for their call now but I´ll call you after and let you know! Okay? If they say no, it´s all yours!
-Thank you Willa. I appreciate it. I answered and we ended the call.

Justin and I eat in silence, we both stared at my phone just hoping it would go of and Willa telling me that I got the apartment. But it stayed silent.
We did the dishes together after we finished the meal and I started to feel better.

-I´ll find another place. Besides, I get to live with my best friend! I said and splashed water in Justin’s face.
-Hey! Stop it! He said and splashed water in my face.

In the midst of our water fight, my phone started ringing and we just stared at each other.

-Answer it!! He said and I ran towards my phone.
-Hello?
-Belle! Good news, the apartment is yours! Willa said happily,
-Are you serious?? THANK YOU!! YOU ARE THE BEST! I started to jump around laughing. Justin, I got the apartment!!!
-If you want, you can come and pick up the keys now. I´m staying at the Sofitel.
-Yes! Thank you! I`ll call you when I get there! I said and I had now a place to live.

We went to the Sofitel hotel and had a drink with Willa and I got the keys. She told me that there weren´t so many furniture’s, a bed, a couch, a TV and a kitchen table with chair. But that sounded perfect to me.
After a few hours Willa had to go and Justin and I went to check out my new place. We arrived and it was lovely. Big enough for me and a bit rustic. But I liked that way. Justin and I said good night and I went out to by some alcohol to celebrate.
When I got back home I thought, I can´t drink alone.
I grabbed my phone and texted Harry.

*Hey, what are you doing right now? You wanna come over for a drink? X Belle*
* Sure, sounds nice! Where to? X H*
* I moved, my new address is 184 Bridge St
Brooklyn*
*Nice, I´ll be there in 15 minutes*

This will be fun, I made myself a drink and sat down in the couch. I put on the TV while I was waiting for Harry. They were showing some talk show and I watched it while sipping on my drink. And then I heard a knock on the door and I went to open it. And there he was. Harry Styles, with his greens eyes looking in to my soul. My knees felt weak.
