Never Look Away
Chapter 1: What's today's date?
Carly’s POV
“Hey babe?” Harry asked from the couch.
“Yea?” I called back walking to the doorway so I could hear him.
“What’s today’s date?” He was filling out some sort of form while he watched tv.
“September 3rd.” I turned back to the kitchen and went back to doing the dishes.
“Holy shit! Your birthday is in 10 days!” He yelled, his voice getting louder like he was coming over to the kitchen.
“Yea” I chuckled putting the last dish away. “Then I’ll be 19.” I did a sarcastic smile with my thumbs up.
“Aww, don’t act like that.” He wrapped his arms around my waist nuzzling his face into my neck.
I giggled and touched his cheek, guiding him to my lips. Our lips crashed together and moved in sync as he pushed me against the counter gently. I loved when he took charge like that and he knew it; the only bad part was he was holding me against the wet counter.
“Harry” I mumbled nudging him back. “This counter is really wet and cold.”
“Sorry.” He wasn’t sorry; he didn't even try to hide his laughter.
“Shut up.” I pushed him aside and walked away.
Harry’s POV
“I feel like we haven't talk about stuff in a while. How are you and Carly?” Niall asked genuinely while he looked through the open window.
“Dude, the last 2 months with her have been crazy. As cheesy as it is, I wouldn’t change any of it. She really is the perfect girl.” I was smiling by the end of the answer.
“I know she is. You guys are perfect for each other and honestly, I’ve never seen you so happy.” He looked at me and smiled. “And it’s obvious that she is happy.”
“Yea, I know.” The smile on my face faded. “Niall, what do you want to do for your birthday?”
“I don’t know, what does Carly want to do?” We’d all been trying to see what they wanted to do but neither of them would answer.
“She never answers, she just asks what you want. You make a decision about what you want and I’ll ask her to do the same and then we can make it amazing for both of you.” Them sharing a birthday made everything harder for us to plan anything for them.
“Fine, I will. Give me until tonight?” He asked and I nodded. “Okay, I have somewhere to be. I’ll see you later.”
“Okay.” I watched him stand up and walk out of my room.
Oh gosh, this is going to take so much work. She’s so indecisive when it comes to stuff like this…but she’s worth it. I need to make this great for both of them but especially her.
Carly’s POV
The music played while I cleaned my room. It didn't take much time because I wasn’t home enough to mess it up but I am the queen of procrastination so…it took almost an hour. By the time I was done, I was back to the beginning of the album so I walked over and changed it. Scrolling through the artists on my phone, I realized that I couldn’t choose. I decided to put it on shuffle and leave it alone.

“Come in.” I called laying down on my bed.
“Hey.” Louis mumbled as he and Zayn walked into my room.
“Hey, what’s up?” I sat up and watched Zayn sit on the edge of my bed with a cough.
“We’re going board shopping, wanna come?” Louis and Zayn had really gotten into skating and they started turning me into a skater too but I didn't mind.
“Yes!” I almost squealed.
“Okay, get dressed so we can go.” Zayn laughed and stood back up while I did the same.
“Get out and I will.” I rushed them out and shut the door behind them.
“Hey babe?” Harry asked from the couch.

Thanks so much! Loved both stories! And yeah I've been writing but I had to stop because of school and all the work.
