You Are My Best Friend

The next morning, we hopped onto the jet that would take us to the next city. I snoozed the entire way, and woke up as we landed on the tarmac. I stretched, grabbed my bags, and walked off, stilll a little sleepy. After I got settled in my hotel room, I decided to head to the gym downstairs and just exercise a little. So I changed into some workout clothes and headed down.

Later, in the gym, I’d been on the treadmill for about 20 minutes when I heard someone open the door. It was Harry.

“Hi, Sky. Hey, that rhymes!”, he said. Such a little kid at heart!

“What’s up, Harry?”, I asked.

“Just thought I’d lift for a bit before lunch. Do you work out alot?”, he asked.

“Not as much as I should...but I like to run”, I answered, hoping he wouldn’t ask me anything else. I was getting a little out of breath, and I didn’t want to pass out on the treadmill in front of him. That would be mortifying. But I had one last question to ask.

“Harry, I know this is none of my business, but...um, how did it go when you called Taylor?”, I asked, to curious to wait until he said something.

“Well, I called her yesterday. Before the show. She said she was in LA. Um, she said she had to talk to me before I could really say anything. She said that she’s been talking to this guy, Harris or something, for awhile. And, well, I told her how I felt. We are both pretty happy with how it ended. I mean, no hard feelings. It still is kind of...I dunno, weird, to end something that’s been a part of your life for a while though”, he said.

I thought of my own breakup just a few months earlier and knew exactly what he was talking about. I hopped off the treadmill, and gave him a hug.

“I’m sorry, I’m probably really sweaty and gross, but I feel like it's what I had to do, being your friend and all”, I said, “I know it probably hurts-”

Harry cut me off when he put his lips on mine. I lost all my breath. It was sweet, and lovely, and I leaned into him, and when I felt his arms wrap around me, I lost any control I had, and knew Sammy was right, that this was what I had been waiting for this entire time. But this entire time he’d been dating Taylor-

I pulled away, breathless, looking up at Harry. I had no idea what to make of what had just happened.

“Um Harry, I really, really like you, but you just ended a long-term relationship, give it some time”, I whispered, and ran away before I could regret what I said, leaving him open mouthed.

Notes

WHAT DO YOU THINK???? Agree with Skylar? Think she's an idiot?
I LOVE IT!

Recently read a book called 99 Days (idk the author) but if you've read it, Harry is like Gabe,and Zayn is like Patrick. Like, that's who I thought of the entire time I was reading. Any way, sorry to bore you with my boring news, I just really love to read!

So, I'm from the midwestern US. Any international readers?

LOVE Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
