SHE - HS

CHAPTER 28: My Girl

A/N: question? Should I make a playlist on spotify of all the songs in this story? Please let me know!! :)

"Congrats you guys," Harry says, pulling both Laney and Niall in for a group hug. I stood there, opposite of him, watching them. He looked up and saw me watching and waved his hand telling me to join them. I quickly snapped out of whatever daze I was in and grabbed Harry's wine glass.

"Red or white?" I ask him, looking down at the bottles. I didn't want to look at him, because if I did I would get nervous and probably drop the wine and break it. Everytime I looked in his green eyes I heard the words he told me about Jack and I didn't want them to be true. I wanted to be happy and I wanted it to be with jack. I needed it to be with jack. I knew it would never be with harry. He was too big, too famous to be dating a high school english teacher. I would be the laughing stock of the world. Also, I didn't want to get my hopes up and get them crushed by him. I needed things to stay the way they were right now. Safe.

"Red," he replied as he walked over to the table with everyone else. He sat in the chair directly across from mine and I slid him his glass of wine. We all started to chat and crack jokes about our pasts.

"Remember when we would always go skinny dipping in the creek after school with Greta and Lindsey? haha yeah, we would all get super high and just fell off the bridge," I ask Laney and I see her face turn bright red. I cover my mouth stopping myself from saying anything else as I start to chuckle. Laney's face falls directly into her hands as I see niall give her wide eyes as he starts to chuckle.

Oops.

"You used to get high and skinny dip in a creek?" he asks her chuckling. "In all my years of loving you, I would've never guessed I was in love with such a rebellious stoner," he said smiling at her. She playfully shoved him as she started to giggle as well. Harry sat there watching all this unfold as he drank his wine and minded his own.

"It's okay," niall continues, "harry and I were pretty rebellious too." all of our heads turn to Harry who now has wide eyes towards Niall . He started waving his hand under his neck motioning niall to stop talking. Niall rolls his eyes and continues.

"When we were in the band, Harry would never keep his clothes on."

"Niall!" Harry raises his voice but Niall doesn't care.

"Before every performance, Harry would run around the arena naked and security would have to chase him down."

My head quickly turns back to Harry who has his face in his hand now. I start laughing along with everyone besides harry. He raised his head and looked directly at niall with his lips formed in a line, giving him the middle finger before grabbing his glass and continued to drink his wine.

Hours go by and everyone grows tired. Laney grabs her phone off the table to read the time.

"It's almost two, we should probably get to bed," she says walking over to the couch. "Are you sure it's fine if we stay Ro?" she asks me. I nod as I walk to my closet to grab them some extra pillows and blankets. It took me a while to find the extra pillows that were stashed in the back, but I grabbed a couple and walked back to the living room, but when I returned everyone was gone but Harry, who was still sitting at the table.

"Where did they go?" I ask him, setting the pillows down.

"I sent them to my house to stay there," he tells me, still looking at his wine glass, "do you have anymore?" he asked. I stared at him for a second in shock for some reason.

"Why would you do that?" I ask him, raising my voice a little.

"Because I have three extra bedrooms in my house and you barely have one," he tells me, turning his head to look at me now. That hurt, but he was right. It would've been rough having them here, I would have zero privacy. I shake my head and walk towards him grabbing another bottle of wine. I pour myself a glass and just before I pour him a glass I realize what I'm doing.
