Chapter 37
"Come on girlie it will be fun" Perrie shakes the pom poms.
"God no." I say "We are not cheerleading for the boys, everyone will kick us off the field."
"Come on please. It will only be first half." Perrie pouts. I look over to El "fine"
"gee thanks." I roll my eyes at her.
"Ok let's practice. Lucky your sling is gone girly." Perrie nudges me.
"GO ROVERS. DONNY ROVERS" We all scream out and I just stand there thinking how I got myself in this situation.
"Ok break time."I call out and slump myself on El's couch.
"I really hope the boys can play a sensitive game this week." El says referring back to the fight that happened a few games ago.
"Yea well if they stick as a team, they should." I say with much confidence.
Harry's POV:
"Umm coach. " I knock on his door.
"Come in H."
I drop my bag down and speak to him. "May I ask why you've made Tommo Capatain?"
"Well your track record hasn't been all that great Styles. Bedsides it's a team support we all need a fair go." He responds.
"Is that it?" He speaks again. "Umm yea, cheers" I pick up and head out to the filed where I see Louis so I ran over to him.
"How could you" I shove him "WOW mate what are you on?" HE fixes his shirt up.
"I'm captain of the Rovers not you. Just back off." I push him again.
"Piss off, you've been here for less than a season and think it's your own territory." He shoves me back.
"It's a team support. So act like a real sportsman." He yells.
"You know what forget it." I leave.
I walk home in frustration and text Bridget, she gets me so hopefully she will understand.
I shower and get changed and make some toast for myself and then the doorbell rings.
"Hey is everything ok?" Bridget asks me as I let her in.
"NO." I yell
"WOW ok, you wanna tell me calmly." She sits on my kitchen counter.
"Louis took my captain spot, so now all the scouts will be paying more attention to him" I say angrily.
"Just because his captain, doesn't mean they pay more attention to him Harry, it's a team sport. They watch how you play cohesively." She says wisely.
"Yea so everyone keeps saying." I run a hand through my damp hair.
"Is that why your upset?" She asks me and I finally turn to face her.
"What it's not a good enough reason?" I snap
"No I just thought something bad happened." She looks down to the floor.
My guilt and tiredness kicks in and I realise I've been mean.
I sigh loudly, "I'm sorry." I walk up to her "It's ok you need a punching bag, I get it." She says.
"Hey," I lift her chin so I can see her beautiful eyes. "I shouldn't take things out on you, I'm sorry." I peck her lips.
"It's ok Harry, really." She smirks.
I look to the ground and hold her hands in mine. "I love you so much." I say and kiss her passionately.
"I love you too." She breaks away to whisper and our lips attach again. My hands play around with her hair as I kiss her. She arcs her head back and her back allowing me to kiss her neck. I then give up and pick her up and we go into my room.
"Hey have you heard from Liam lately." Bridget asks me as we stand at my locker.
"He said he should he would try and come today."
"Hey Soph." Bridget greets her as she goes to her locker which is next to mine.
"hey." Soph weakly smiles.
"HARRRYYYYY MATTEE." I see Liam coming over, whats with him. Bridget and I just loo at him he grabs something from his bag.
"Here is part of our English oral, I might run late though soccer practice." He gives a paper to Sophia which she takes, without acknowledging him.
"Come on H." Liam says, I shut my locker door and kiss Bridget's cheek and we head off to soccer practice.
Bridget's POV:
"You ok?" I ask Sophia. She nods her head.
We both sit next to each other in English with Perrie and El in front of us.
"Ok I am aware that some of our fellow male students are missing, but we are starting anyway." The teacher comes in and starts.
"Ok Sophia your up first." Teacher says, "good luck" I rub her back.
She stands up and I know she is dreading reading Liam's paper.
She stands at the front and I smile at her. She takes a deep breath and begins.
The assignment was to pick out a quote from the novel 'me before you.' and to expand on it what we think it means to our personal life.
Sophia begins reading Liam's.
"So this is it. You are scored on my heart, Clark. You were from the first day you walked in,with you ridiculous clothes and your bad jokes." She starts to smile.
"And your complete inability to ever hide a single you felt. You changed my life more than I have changed yours. Don't think of me too often. I don't think of you getting all maudlin. Just live well.
Just live."
She concludes Liam's quote with a tear spilling from her left eye.
Then she moves onto Liam's explanation part of the assignment.
"I think this quote can be seen from many different angles. But for me this point in my life right now it's about a special some one I remember everything from the fist day seeing her and they have changed my life in ways I never thought possible. But now I have hurt them in the worst way a person can hurt a loved one. So now all I can say is I'm sorry and you can go ahead living a life without me, Don't think of me too much, but know life is still life as long as you are still breathing even though we aren't together just live your life sadly without me, just have fun and live it."
And now Sophia's voice is barely audible and has tear stained cheeks.
"Hey sorry, were so late." Harry sits next to me. There has been a few more presentations since the boys has been gone and I have spent that time trying to get Sophia to open up but she won't.
"Bridget your turn." Harry and I stand at the front and I start quoting our quote.
"I hadn't realised that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hasn't predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried the remenants with you when you went."
I take a breath and conclude and look at Harry to signal him.
"Basically I write songs, about her feelings." Feelings she doesn't even know she feels yet, so I write as the composer and it takes us to our own little bubble." Harry takes my hand and i blush.
"Thanks guys, that was so sweet." The teacher says and we walk back to our seats. But then Liam walks through the door.
"Take a seat Mr Payne." which he does.
"Ok we will finish the rest of the orals after lunch." The teacher announces as we all stand up.
"LIAM" Soph calls out and he turns around.
"It was good what you wrote." Is all she says and walks out leaving Liam heartbroken but not as much as her again.
"I need to get my Cupid radar going" I say and Harry laughs.
