The New Girl

Chapter 15

I woke up. I looked at the clock on my wall, 9a.m. I turned around and saw Harry's side empty. 'He must be downstairs' I thought to myself. I heard my phone ringing so I lazily got up and answered it.

''Hey mom. What's up?''

''Hey honey! Aww! I missed you already! I'm fine, shopping a little on my day off..''

''I miss you too. Sooo, is China nice?'' I asked, laying on my bed again, smiling.

''Yeah! I wish you could come.. You'd love it here!'' I sighed.

''Take some pictures for me okay?''

''Okay love! Oh! How was the party? What did you buy? Tell me everything!''

''Mom. Calm down. The party was fine, I bought a nice dress and other girly stuff.''

''Any boys?''

''No..'' I lied.

''Yeah, I'm sure about that. Anyways, I need to go now. We'll talk later okay?''

''Okay, bye mom. Love you.''

''Bye hun, love you too!'' I ended the call and put on my pink toms.

I walked downstairs and entered the kitchen. There he was. Harry. He was making breakfast.

''Good morning.'' I stood next to him, observing the pancake in the pan. He looked at me.

''Morning Alice.'' He turned around and grabbed two cups of tea. He offered me one and I thanked him.

''Soo, what do you want to do today?''

''Um, what do you mean?'' He asked confused.

''I was hoping we could, you know, hang out for the day.'' I told him, sitting on the counter opposite him. He turned his back on me so he could prepare the pancakes.

''Um, sure..'' he trailed off.

''Great! So where would you like to go?''

''I don't know.. Any ideas?''

''Hmm, we could go to the festival!''

''There's a festival?''

''Yeah, that's what I was told..''

''Is there a reason for the festival?''

''I don't know! It's your city not mine! You should've known, not me!'' I laughed getting off the counter and grabbing the milk and two glasses to place them on the table.

I heard Harry chuckle. He brought the pancakes on the table. I placed the maple syrup and the Nutella next to them and we both sat opposite of each other. I took the first bite and I was surprised. I didn't know Harry was such a good cook.

''These are really tasty!'' I said pointing at the pancakes with my fork.

''Thank you.'' he said smiling.

''So do you fancy going?''

''To the festival?''

''Yeah.'' He stopped to think, hesitating he nodded his head.

''Sure, I'll come.''

We continued eating in silence.

It wasn't an awkward silence. More like comfortable, we would talk here and there but that's it. We finished and I place our dishes in the sink and washed them.

''Hey Alice?''

''Yeah?''

''Can we stop by my house so I can change?''

''Of course..'' The next thing I said was completely unintentional.

''Can you pack all your clothes as well?'' My eyes widened and Harry looked at me with confusion.

''Why?''

I sighed.

''My mom is gone for a month.. Can you sleep here until she gets back at least? I'm terrified of being alone in this creepy house.''

''Your house is creepy? It's huge and well decorated and warm!'' he said, surprised by my statement.

''I don't like it though.. It creeps me out.'' I said ashamed.

''I know this is something very embarrassing to say to someone but I hate being alone.''

Great, I sound like an attention seeker.

''My mom would work all the time.. But my dad stayed at home with me while she was gone.. Now he left so..''

My eyes began to tear up, I looked at the floor. Harry walked near me, lifting up my chin so I would look at his emerald green eyes.

''It's okay, if you want me to stay I'll stay.'' he whispered.

''Really?'' I smiled genuinely.

''Yeah.''

''Thanks.'' I looked at him, suddenly my eyes caught his pink, soft lips. I looked back at his eyes and smiled widely. He half smiled.

I walked out of the kitchen and entered my room change. I wore a turquoise, long sleeved T-shirt. The sleeves were dark grey and there was a dark grey pocket too. I also wore my jean jacket but I didn't zip it, a pair of ripped off leggings and my turquoise rebound high-top trainers.



I brushed my teeth, washed my face to remove the make-up and the smudged eye-liner and mascara from last night. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs to see Harry leaning against my car and waiting for me. I grabbed my keys and opened the car door.

''Okay, lets go.'' I started the engine and I drove at Harry's. During our car ride there, I turned the radio on and the song 'Take a chance' By Abba started playing. I love this song. I started dancing and singing along while driving, Harry was glancing at me with an amused look on his face.




''We're here!'' I stated.

''Can I come with you?''

''Sure..'' We got out of the car and entered his house. I was taken aback.

This place was small and messy. How can Harry live here?

''Harry?''

''Yeah?'' He turned around and grabbed my hand to lead me to his room.

Once we entered his room, I mentally gasped. There was only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. Nothing more, nothing less.

''Yeah I know, crappy room right?''

''No, it isn't. It just.. doesn't look like a teenager owns this kind of room..'' I sat on the bed looking around. Harry was packing his clothes and other personal stuff.

''Okay, I'll go change and wash up and we'll leave.''

''Okay.'' I said.

I stood up to investigate a little. I saw blood on the floor and on some walls. Why is there blood? It looks like blood, it must be blood. Yeah, it's blood..

I also saw some cigarettes. Harry smokes?! He never told me he smokes! But if he does smoke, why didn't he pack them?

I went to the kitchen and saw beers on the counter. Who drinks this much? I heard Harry coming downstairs.

''Ready?''

''Yep..'' We got in the car and I started driving.

''Harry? Why was your bedroom's floor covered in blood? Did anything happen there?'' Harry stiffened, he sighed nervously and messed with his hair.

''Can we not talk about this?'' he asked a bit angry.

I got frustrated. I opened up to him last night and this is how he repays me? Never mind, I don't want to ruin my day or his right now.

''Okay.''



We finally reached the festival. People looked so happy and alive. I turned to look at Harry. He wasn't amused, he was just walking next to me looking at people.

''Oh come on Harry lighten up!'' I jumped in front of him dancing like a maniac. He chuckled and rolled his eyes smiling. I did my job. I made him smile, a genuine smile.

''Doesn't it feel good?'' I asked.

''What feels good?'' We continued walking and I took a few seconds to answer back.

''To smile..'' I trailed off. Harry turned to look at me and grabbed my hand.

''Come on, lets go to the roller coaster.'' he said. I smiled and nodded.


I had so much fun at the festival. Harry and I went to most of the games. He won me a bear too. So cliche but it was such a kind gesture.

We were now at the Ferris wheel. I love the Ferris wheel. I know it sounds a bit cheesy but I do. I got in with Harry and we were on the top. I stared at the breath taking view of this city. The sun was gone and it was now replaced by a full moon. The stars were shining, I turned to look at Harry. He was admiring the view as well.

''Beautiful, isn't it?'' I sat close to Harry.

''Yeah, it's nice.''

''Can I ask you something, Harry?''

''Um, sure?''

''Where were your parents when we went to pack your things?''

Harry stared at me, his gaze slowly falling to my lips and back at my eyes again.

''I'd rather not talk about it.''

''Why? Is there something wrong?''

''Nothing is wrong Alice. I'm fine.'' His eyes getting colder by the second.

Why was he getting all mad at me?

''Harry, I told you about my 'secret', it's time for you to open up to me.''

''I don't want to. And you can't make me.'' I sighed and turned to look at the view.




Festival was over, we were heading home.

''Do you smoke?'' I said breaking the uncomfortable silence in the car.

''What?''

''I said Do. You. Smoke.'' I turned to look at him but quickly looked back at the road.

''Why do you care?''

''Here we go again. Harry I told you a million times I just do. Just tell me I want to know.''

''Yes. I smoke, okay? And I don't care if you have a problem with that, you don't get to tell me what to do.'' He answered back, more like yelled in my face.

''Fine then! Go smoke and die. See if I care!'' At this point I parked the car and got out of it, slamming the door leaving a dumbfounded Harry in.

I entered my bedroom, changed into my pajamas and went downstairs to lock all the doors.

I saw Harry sitting on the couch with his hands on his head. I sighed and sat next to him.

''I didn't mean that..'' I confessed.

I patted on his back to comfort him and I continued. ''I just get attached to people so easily. I care for you Harry. I really do, you need to know that.'' I whispered.

He sat straight and sighed.

''My mom left us when I was a kid.''

I immediately regretted pressuring him. I saw his eyes tearing up and my heart broke.

''My dad... he's in jail''

Tears welled up in his eyes I know he couldn't hold them back.

''So I'm basically the only one left in my family..''

Tears run down his cheeks causing me to cry too. I hugged him and we layed on the couch. Silence was the only comfort we needed. I turned the T.V. on for distraction though.

We eventually calmed down and we just talked.

Finally it was time to sleep. I walked upstairs and lied on my bed. Harry was changing, when he came back he was in his pajamas. He got in bed and I snuggled closer to him. His hands secured around me, making me once again feel safe.

''Good night, Harry.''

''Good night, love.''

And soon enough I was in dreamland.
