Harry’s POV:
As Skye was lying on the hospital bed, I continued to stare at her, smiling and thinking of what’s happened. “Harry, you should stop staring at her like that, it’s creepy.”
I turned around to see Zayn standing there, one hand in his pocket, another on his cellphone. “I’m just worried about her, that’s all.”
“Why are you so worried about a girl you barely even know about?”
I shrugged. “Something about her is unique, I guess.”
I felt my phone begin to vibrate in my pocket, and I looked at the Caller ID. It read, ‘Amber Moore’. “Amber? I can’t believe you still have her in your contacts Harry, even after all these years.”
I ignored his smartass comment, and answered the phone call.
“Harry?” I heard the other line of the phone.
“Amber..?” My cheeks turned red, as I saw Zayn silently laughing to himself.
“Harry, oh my god, it really is you!” I heard a squeal from the other end.
“Amber, it’s great to see you too,” I replied anxiously.
“Well, after a couple years in California, I’ve returned to Holmes Chapel!”
“That’s fantastic, Amber...”
“What’s wrong, Harry?”
“A lot of things happened while you were gone.”
I heard a silence from the other end.
“You didn’t forget our promise, right?” She asked with a sorrow in her voice.
The promise? Does she really mean the promise we made six years ago?
FLASHBACK
Six Years Ago
I rang the doorbell in front of Amber’s home, bouncing the basketball on her patio before she came. The door opened, and I saw Amber standing there, with a miserable look on her face. “Amber? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, Harry,” her face immediately brightened up. “You shouldn’t ruin those really cute dimples on your face with a frown though!”
She giggled as my face was flushed. “Do you want to play basketball today, Amber?”
“Not today, Harry. Do you mind if we do something different?” She asked.
“Sure, like what?” I asked, holding the basketball in my arms.
“How about we go watch a movie at the Cinema?”
“Okay!” I cheered, as she grabbed my hand. “H-Hey! What are you doing?”
“We’re going to the movies together, silly!”
“You’re holding my h-hand!”
“Is there something wrong with that?” Amber smiled.
“N-No!”
She giggled, as I stood there with a nervous look on my face.
“Hey, do you want some popcorn?” Amber inaudibly asked, as she grabbed a handful from the bucket, munching on the popcorn.
I dug my hand inside the bucket to grab one, when her hand and mine touched. “S-Sorry!” I said apologetically, as noiseless as possible.
“Harry, calm down. I don’t mind if you hold my hand,” she giggled, as I sat there quietly, biting my lip.
“That was a good movie, huh?” Amber said, as she chewed on her Sour Patch candy, while we were walking home. “My favorite part is when that guy got shot!”
“Yeah,” I smiled.
“Hey Harry, can you promise me something?” Her voice became uneasy.
“Sure.”
“Do you promise to be my boyfriend forever?”
“W-What kind of a question is that?” My cheeks turned bright red, as Amber giggled. “A-And we’re not dating!”
“Well, can you promise me?”
“F-Fine,” I replied, thinking it was just a joke.
“Listen, Harry. I have to move away to America tomorrow. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you this earlier, but I didn’t know when to.”
“A-Amber-“
“Harry, please keep your promise. I hope one day I’ll move back to Holmes Chapel, okay?”
“Alright, Amber.”
As we came around to her house, I watched her wave goodbye to me, and disappear into her house.
FLASHBACK END
Present Day
“Harry? Are you there?” She continued to ask.
“Yeah.”
“It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me yet, but can you come over to my house tomorrow?”
I reminded myself that Skye was in critical condition, but also remembered that Amber waited six years for this moment...
“Crap, Harry, we’ll have to continue this discussion at my house tomorrow! See you then!”
She ended the call, as I saw Zayn look at me doubtfully.
I sighed, as he walked out of the room, as I heard him murmur, “Make up your mind already, Harry.”
