We haven't talked in a week. A long and agonizingly dreadful week.


It was clearly a week wasted from my summer because all I did was lay in bed and watch Netflix. The only times I'd get up was to get some food and lock myself back up again.


There were times I'd even call the house phone just to lazily tell my mom to get me more food. And of course when I showered I'd usually just sit down and cry because of all the thoughts I was having. I didn't want it to end this way. Not like this. Not through a fucking text message.


And this one time when my mom came in, she gave me the talk. Yes, that talk.. No, not that talk. But the talk, if that made any sense at all.


Dean and Sam were quietly arguing from my tv, as my mom sat down beside me.


"Yes?" I asked.


I felt bad for my mom, seeing I hadn't really told her everything going on. Not like I had to anyway, this was my private life I guess.


"Alex is so worried about you." She sighed. "How long has it been since you last saw her?"


''I don't know." I lied yet spoke bluntly.


"Okay, what's wrong?" She frowned. "I hate seeing you like this. Is it stress? Is it college? Because if it is, I--"


"It's this boy. I know it's utterly stupid of me to be moping around like this because he isn't even here but.. God, he ruined my life." My voice shook as I paused the episode playing. "He ruined my life in the best way anyone could, and now he ruined my life further and.. Mom.'' I whined as she just takes me into a hug, even though what I was saying probably made zero sense.


"Boys." Mom sighed knowingly as she stroked my hair gently.


"Yeah I just.. He's all the way across the world, mom. I can't do this. I'm not made for pretending everything is okay when it isn't."


"Do you have feelings for him? Like, real feelings." She motioned as soon as we pulled away from the hug.


"I..I guess I do." I thought over it. "I know I haven't officially met him, but there's something about him that keeps me from leaving." I groaned.


I was the one who told him to keep his distance from me, drunk or not but it's been a week. Maybe he decided the same.


"If it's meant to happen then he'll be the one coming back. And if he really does care about you, I promise he'll come back." She tells me, her slight accent showing making me smile weakly.


"Okay." I sighed, but I was honestly just losing all the hope I had by now.


Mom left shortly after but what I noticed was that she didn't even bother getting me any food.


I gasped, jumping a little as I held a hand to my heart once my phone dinged twice.


Oh god. I take it, fully unphased already knowing by now that of course it wouldn't be Harry.


Nialler : natalie yo


Me : heyoo


Nialler : i just landed! I cant believe im home ahhh


Me : omg that must be so exciting


Nialler : it is ugh, i swear im gonna cry


Me : oml haha

Me : me too niall


Nialler : oh god no way


Me : what?


Nialler : is harry crushing on you?


Me : idk


Nialler : oh im confused bc he's back in cheshire isnt he?


Me : bye


I groaned loudly, I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to talk about him.


I know I clearly said I'd move on from this, but hell it isn't going the way I planned.


I was a mess over a boy I never even met.. Yet.


Well I don't know if I can count on it anymore.


I spent another few hours after that watching reruns from season five of Supernatural.


I was starting to fall asleep as I hugged my pillow towards me.


My phone dings again. Dammit Niall. I was second


I unlock it and suddenly, I have lost the ability to even. What the..


.


Harry : i really like the song medicine

Me : wyd


Harry : well im texting you, a girl named natalie that i know she's gr8


Me : no no no no


you arent just going to pretend like this past week didnt happen what


Harry : im sorry


Natalie i got drunk and im being completely honest it wasnt me talking it was my bad side talking


But tbh, i remembered everything i said and just.. Idk. I was breaking you, i didnt like that.


And i read the message, the one where you told me to 'stay a stranger' and i agreed with you there, maybe we do have to move on so i kept my distance and i would wait til you talked first


And that's exactly why i havent spoken to you these past seven days


Me : oh


Harry : do you want me to stay out of your life?


I was overreacting mostly bc of this alcohol in my system but idk im sorry i cant explain myself as well love


Me : im stupid for saying this and i hate you so much rn for what you put me through this past week but i never wanted you to leave in the first place


i was only saying it bc idk, i lost all hope


im probably never going to get to meet you


Harry : im going to just say this right now, but im in tears


Me : me too


Harry : i was actually listening to the 1975 and i listened to medicine


The band overall reminded me of you bc you said they were your favourite


Me : harry aw


Harry : and i cried listening to the song bc its the perfect description of what i see in you, in us idk


Me : you want to marry me?


Harry : what


Me : the lyrics talk about wanting to marry that one person


Harry : I'd imagine you walking down the aisle actually


Me : stop right there *hand emoji*


Harry : im so so so so so so so so sorrrrrrrrrry


Me : why so many so's why so many r's


Harry : idk its my way of saying im sorry for being a dick and im sorry for probably ruining our non-existent relationship further


I'm SOOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYY NATALIE


Me : i dont want to seem like that one girl who just runs back to you after an apology


Harry : ill give you space? Do you need time? Bc if you need time to think about it I'll give you all the time in the world


Me : fuck


Harry : what did i just say something wrong or are u still niagra falls asf or


Me : YOU'RE JUST MESSING WITH MY FEELINGS IM JUST A GIRL A GIRL WHO LOVES TO EAT BAGEL BITES AND WATCH SUPERNATURAL MARATHONS AND CUDDLE WITH MY STUFFED ANIMALS


I SING TO WEIRD SONGS AND TWERK TO UMA THURMAN FULL BLAST AND I SLEEP AT 1AM AND THINK IM SUCH A BAD ASS BC OF IT SO WHY ME

I dont understand you


Harry : someday you will love :)


Me : fine


Harry : ??


Me : well i forgive you for being senseless and drunk as you completely shattered my heart


Harry : be honest, was this week as long and dreadful for you as it was for me?


Me : yeah it was. I've been kinda bed ridden listening to sad songs and that playlist you made me


Harry : that sounds depressing


Me : IT WAS


Harry : but anyways, the point of my first text was to find an excuse to apologize but tbh i rlly like the 1975


Me : you and me both edwardo


Harry : you and me both.


Harry : i love how that sounds


Me : really? Me too.


Harry : and natalie?


Me : mhm


Harry : im not going to leave you. I mean, i wont stop bothering you for awhile so just saying, you're kinda stuck with me for the rest of your life.. through this tiny phone screen


Me : and well, i guess you're stuck with my potato self too


Congrats you win a potato how great does that feel


Harry : ._____.


Me : so we're okay?


Harry : we'll be alright.


Me : if you say so


Harry : through this torturing yet fun text swap, maybe someday in the future I'll finally get to see you


Me : please do bc idk if i can actually fly myself over there anytime soon. My mom paid off my tuition for uni, and she's probably had enough of paying for me


Harry : well natalie you clearly cant fly over here bc you dont have wings


Me : THESE WINGS ARE MADE TO FLYYYY

Me : you make me rlly happy


Harry : i never thought I'd hear you ever say that, well in this case see you say that but


You make me the best version.. of myself.


Me : and the night you got completely wasted, did you.. idk, did you try things out with other girls?


Harry : no actually i passed out after our convo


Me : what would have happened if you didnt pass out?


Harry : i wouldnt. I wouldnt do that to you no matter how drunk i was baby


Me : but its inevitable, it would have happened if you were still in that state


Harry : but you have no idea how much i would have regretted it


Me : well at least they actually get to kiss you I'd be happy for you


Harry : no


Right now, i dont want anyone else okay? I want you to understand that nat


Me : so what are we then?


Harry : im not sure, what do you want us to be?


Me : well.. no matter how much i despise the thought of texting or long distance relationships, idk what this is


Harry : we can be whatever we want to be nat
