Twisted Life

Harry’s Point of View
I was staring at the door smiling where Crissie has just excited when Louis nudged me, breaking me out of my trance.

“So what made you guys decide to sleep on the couch last night?” Louis asked, nodding his head to my recently vacated spot on the couch.

“Oh Crissie fell asleep here last night, so I just let her sleep in my bed,” I replied, shrugging my shoulders. Louis gave me a knowing look.

“Does my wittle Hazza have a crush?” Louis asked in a babyish tone. I couldn’t help the grin forming on my face.

“Yeah; she’s just so different you know? I know I can talk to her about everything and it just feels so right with her, you know?” I smiled wistfully at the thought of her.

“Paul’s going to kill you mate. I’m happy that you found someone special, but don’t do anything without talking to Paul first,” Louis stated seriously. I frowned at the thought. I should have thought about this before getting so close to her. She lives on the other side of the world from me, when I’m even home that is. And of course Paul’s already forbidden any of the boys from getting romantically involved with her.

I just can’t help myself; she’s just so different than any other girl. I couldn’t help my mind from wondering to last night right before the pizza guy came. Our lips were only mere centimeters apart; I couldn’t help but notice how fast she jumped back from me once she heard the knocking. Maybe she just doesn’t feel the same way about me…

“Earth to Hazza? You there?” Louis asked, using his fist to knock on my head. I flinched away, glaring at him. “Don’t we have to be down at the hills soon?” I looked at the clock, noticing that we only had half an hour to get ready.

“Shit,” I swore to myself, making a dash to the bathroom to shower.

I quickly showered and got changed, throwing on whatever. I wanted to get to the hills as soon as possible so I could ride up with Crissie.

I rushed Louis down to the lockers so that we could put our boots on and get our skis.

“Slow down mate! She’s still going to be there in thirty seconds,” Louis joked. I just glared at him.

When we finally got to the bottom of the lift I scanned the crowd. My heart dropped when I saw her with Noah. I know she told me that there is nothing going on between the two of them, but I couldn’t help but be a little jealous of all the time they spend together.

I was in mid thought when someone ran into me, almost knocking me over.

“Woah, you okay?” I asked, looking down to see a smiling Crissie looking back up at me. My mood instantly brightened.

“Hazza!” She yelled, hugging me. My arms instinctively went around her waist, holding her close.

“Missed me already?” I asked in a low tone.

“Of course! How could I not miss my Haz?” She joked, pulling back from my embrace. I laughed at her sarcastic remark.

“Let’s go?” I asked, nodding towards the lift. She nodded her head eagerly as we made our way towards the lift.

*****

Crissie and I spent the last few days basically attached at the hip. We talked about anything and everything together. I feel like I can talk to her about anything and I know she won’t judge me. I’m going to be really sad when she has to go back to school in another week.

Today’s our last day at the resort then we leave to catch our flight back to London. Crissie and Kristyn are coming back with us for the week for their last week of spring break. We’re not skiing or anything today since we have an early flight to catch this afternoon. We have little security so hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Louis and I just got done packing up everything as a knock came at the door. Louis looked up and grunted, not pleased to have to get up off his stop on the couch. I didn’t bother to look up to see who it was, assuming it was one of the boys seeing if we were ready.

“Hey, you guys almost ready?” My head snapped up at the voice. I jumped up off the couch and shoved Louis out of my way so that I could engulf Crissie into a hug. I buried my face into her neck and inhaled deeply.

“I missed you,” I mumbled into her neck. I felt her chest vibrate as she laughed pulling away from out embrace. I suddenly felt empty, and wanted nothing more than to have her in my arms again.

“I just saw you a few hours ago though!” She stated jokingly. I pretended to pout at her.

“A few hours in a long time though,” I mumbled, keeping the sad look on my face. She laughed in response.

“Aww, my poor Hazza! I missed you too!” She smiled up at me. I looked down at her, staring deep into her eyes. I didn’t even realise I started to lower my head to hers until I heard someone clear their throat behind me.

“Yes we get it, you guys missed each other. Let’s go before Liam yells at us for being late!” Louis whined. I rolled my eyes at him, mentally slapping him for interrupting.

I grabbed my bags and followed Crissie and Louis out the door.

We stepped outside to see everyone already piled into the black van they had sent for us. Louis dashed towards the open door of the van and hopped into one of the three remaining seats, pulling Crissie in beside him. I shot Louis a look to let him know that I was not impressed. I only get to see Crissie every few months, so when I’m with her I want to spend as much time as possible with her.

I plopped down beside Niall in the back, seeing as it was the only available seat, still glaring at Louis, hoping he’ll get the message.

“It’s my turn to spend time with Crissie; you’ve been hogging her all!” Louis stated, pulling on his seat belt. Crissie sent me an apologetic smile and turned around to face Louis.

It took us about half an hour to get to the airport, a very long half hour if I might add. Crissie and Lou chatted the whole time, both laughing at each other’s jokes. I couldn’t help but glare at Lou throughout the drive.

I can’t believe I’m jealous of my best friend right now. I know he has El, who he loves very much, so why can’t he just let me spend time with my Crissie. Wait, I didn’t mean mine, of course she’s not mine. I scolded myself for thinking it. She can never be mine, Paul made that clear. The thought of never being able to call her my own saddened me; never being able to hold her at night, and to tell her I love-

“Hey Harry you there mate?” Niall asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I took a quick look around to see that we were parked at the airport and everyone was starting to leave the van.

I jumped out of my seat to get to Crissie’s side right away, wrapping my arm around her shoulder pulling her close.

“Sit with me on the plane?” I asked, looking down at her. I noticed she turned a few shades redder and couldn’t help but smirk to myself.

“Sure,” she said quietly. We made our way through security and bag checks and what not rather quickly before being escorted onto the plane. Thankfully there were no fans at the airport to slow us down.

Crissie and I found our seats easily in first class. I noticed she was unusually quiet and couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong.

“Hey love, you okay?” I asked quietly. She looked up at me with a hint of fear in her eyes.

“Yeah, just kind of nervous you know? I haven’t been on a plane since I was six,” I noticed she started to shake a little bit.

“I lifted the arm rest up so it was out of the way and brought her close to my side. She automatically snuggled up to me with her head on my shoulder. I had my arm wrapped snuggly around her, letting her know I was there to protect her. I leaned down and kissed her temple.

“It’ll be fine, I promise. I’m here, you’ll been fine love,” I soothed her, resting my head on her head when captain announced that we were about to take off. My grip on her tightened and the plane started to take off.

Soon enough we were in the air and I started to feel her relax.

“See, that was fine right?” I asked softly. I looked down to see her nod her head while stiffening a yawn.

“I’m tired,” She stated.

“Then sleep love. I’ll be here when you wake up,” I assured her.

“Okay, night Harry,” She said softly.

“Night love,” I replied just before we both drifted off to sleep.
