“Harry darling! How was school?” Anne, Harry’s mother cooed.
“Fine thanks. Is it alright if I stay at Liam’s tonight?” Harry questioned.
“Of course! Speaking of Liam, I saw Carter walking início today with tears in her eyes. What happened to her?” Anne asked worriedly as she was very fond of Carter.
“I don’t know mum.” Harry retorted bitterly.
Anne nodded and looked down, sighing slightly.
“Just look out for her Harry. She’s had a rough time and after all, you two used to be the best of friends. She’s on her own at school Harry. There’s no one there to look out for her. She probably has no one to turn to.”
“I promise mum.”
Unfortunately, those 3 words Harry had just tittered were complete and utter rubbish. There was no way in hell he was going to do that. He didn’t need a petty coward like Carter ruining his reputation.
His mum pulled him in for a hug and kissed his forehead. He was always a big mommy’s boy. He would often stay at início with his mom almost every night with his mum some time ago. But that has all changed over the past two years. He has become much mais independent and secretive, much to Anne’s disappointment.
Harry journeyed up the stairs and plugged in his iPod. His room filled with the sounds of ‘free fallin’ por John Mayer, one of his all time favourite songs.
'She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves jesus and America too
She’s a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves cavalos and her boyfriend too
It's a long dia living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin her heart
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
Harry sang along to the song with his coração content.
Ironically, this song strongly relates to Harry and Carter’s current situation. You wouldn’t think it at first, but if you read through the lyrics carefully, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Nobody knew this, but Harry had an un-dying amor for music, especially singing. No one but his mum and stepdad had ever heard him sing. If I’m being completely honest, Harry has an amazing cantar voice and is unbelievably talented. His mother can’t understand why he never sang in public, but it was because of the simple reason that he wanted to spare himself ridicule at the hands of his mates.
His phone vibrated in his pocket and he scanned the screen briefly to see that it was his girlfriend Lucy calling him.
“Hello?”
“HARRY! I’M BACK!”
“Really?! That’s brilliant!”
“Do you want to come over baby?”
“I can’t, I’m staying at Liam’s.”
“Oh.”
Harry bit his lip before replying.
“You can come if you like. I’m sure the boys won’t mind…”
“YAY! See you later sexy.”
“Bye Luce.”
He put his phone down and quickly packed his stuff before venturing out the door.
* * * * *
He arrived at Liam’s and was greeted por Zayn, who pulled him into a big man hug. The two strolled into the sitting room, where the boys were chilling out on the couches. There was no sign of Carter, much to Harry’s dismay.
“Guys… is it ok if Lucy stays too? She’s just back from Germany today.” Harry pleaded, biting the inside of his mouth and hoping they would say yes. The boys exchanged glances before Liam spoke.
“Of course Haz.”
“Thanks mates. I’ll call her now.” Harry beamed and left the room.
Zayn turned towards Liam and slapped him across the face.
“Why did you let Lucy come?!” Zayn spoke through gritted teeth. Louis and Niall nodded in agreement with Zayn.
“Guys, she’s just come back from Germany. Harry really missed her.” Liam explained, looking each of them in the eye. Louis sighed and sat back in his chair.
“I guess you’re right.”
Just then Harry came back in and sat on the couch.
“She’s gonna be here in an hora or so.” He told them, grinning widely.
“Cool. Why don’t you go up and say hi to Carter? You can also put your stuff up there; you’re staying in her room tonight.” Niall said.
Harry’s grin grew even wider upon hearing he was staying in Carter’s room. He strolled up the steps of the stairs and into Carter’s room. Carter didn’t notice his entrance as she was engulfed in her homework. Or should I say Harry’s homework.
“Carter….” Harry whispered in a spooky tone.
Carter’s head snapped up and she saw Harry staring back at her. She let out an ear-piercing scream until Harry came over and covered her mouth.
“Shut up you idiot!” he spat.
Carter’s breath hitched as Harry slid his hand away from her mouth. She gazed up at him and he sat down at the edge of her bed. He placed his cold hand on her leg and she quickly moved it away, shaking.
He absolutely loved this. The way she trembled anytime he came near her. The way she screamed anytime she saw him. The way she cried any time he touched her. He had complete control over her and loved every single segundo of it.
“Looks like I’m staying here tonight.” Harry smirked. Carter’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
“What the fuck are you talking about Harry?!” Carter exclaimed.
“Oh the little whore can curse!” Harry chuckled.
Carter looked down until Harry slapped her, causing her to snap back up.
“Look at me when I’m speaking to you, you slut.” He growled.
“…anyways. I’m staying in your room tonight.” He continued, lying down on Carter’s cama and sprawling his arms and legs.
Carter ran out of the room before Harry could catch her and went down to the boys. She wanted to be anywhere but near Harry.
* * * * *
“Lucy!” Harry beamed as he pulled his girlfriend in for a hug.
“Hi Lucy.” The boys tittered in unison. She simply gave them a small nod, barely acknowledging them.
“So… where are we staying baby?” Lucy questioned, attempting to seduce Harry por caressing his broad shoulders.
“Upstairs. I’ll show you.” Harry blushed shyly, taking Lucy’s hand and bringing her upstairs.
Carter plugged in her earphones and hummed along to the song quietly. Like any normal 16 ano old, Carter loved music.
Her bedroom door swung open and in walked Lucy and Harry. Carter wanted to scream, but decided against it because she didn’t want to suffer the consequences.
Strangely, Harry and Lucy completely ignored Carter and walked straight past her onto the bed. Carter breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen to her music.
Hopefully tonight won’t be too bad then….
* * * * *
Later that night, Carter decided to go to bed. She gave each of the boys a kiss before heading upstairs and into her room. Harry and Lucy were too busy making out to notice Carter’s presence so Carter hopped into cama and closed her eyes.
After about an hora of trying to get to sleep, Carter gave up. She was constantly waking because of the two loves that were in cama across from each other. I guess it was better than them torturing her, but all she could hear was them laughing, beijar and chatting amongst each other so there was no hope of Carter getting any sleep.
Soon, Carter was fed up. She grabbed a blanket and a travesseiro and ventured down the stairs. She journeyed into the sitting room and lied down on the couch, pulling the blanket over her and trying to get at least a small bit of sleep. The sofá was very uncomfortable, but carter managed to fall asleep.
* * * * *
The seguinte morning, Niall was first to get up. After he raided the fridge, he entered the sitting room to find Carter fast asleep.
“Carter!” he called. No response. He smirked slightly before exiting the room.
He returned once again with a pen in his hand. He crept over to where Carter lay and leaned over her. He giggled quietly before drawing on Carter’s face. He drew a moustache, glasses, a uni-brow and a beard on her face.
She looked rather smashing if I do say so myself!
He laughed hysterically before skipping out of the room. He was met por Louis in the hall and told him to go into the sitting room and look at Carter. Louis did exactly that and came back out of the room howling with laughter.
The two of them went back into Carter again, this time Niall had his violão, guitarra in his hand. They stood around Carter and Niall began to strum his guitar.
‘It’s time to get up in the morning.
We’ve got McDonalds breakfast for you!
We drove to miles to get it,
So you better get up and eat it!
Don’t be a selfish little girl……
It’s time to get up!
It’s time to get up!
It’s time to get up!
It’s time to get up!
IT’S TIME! TO! GET UP!’
por now, Liam and Zayn had joined in and Liam was jumping on topo, início of Carter. Carter flopped off the sofá and landed with a thud on the ground. She stood up and roared:
“IT’S TIME TO GET UP!”
All of the boys burst into fits of laughter.
These were the moments Liam and the boys cherished. The times when they see that beautiful smile on Carter’s face.
