Chapter 27: home alone

The next day at school was pretty normal. I endured the many boring lessons of the day and was so thankful when the bell went. Henry and I went to Quantico after school and ended up staying late. It was weird when Henry went home with JJ, but I was just so happy that they'd made up. He still hadn't completely forgiven Will, but they were civil and talking. When I went to bed that night I seemed to have an odd feeling of emptiness. It was so swerd not falling asleep next to the warmth of Henry's body. For some reason it took a lot longer for the darkness to finally take over and for me to enter the land of dreams.

"Stella, Stella, Stella." Someone shouted shaking me. I opened my eyes. Dad was standing over me looking slightly worried.

"What?" I asked, a little to firmly. I happened to be having a very nice dream about Henry, when dad woke me.

"Sorry, you weren't waking up, I was worried. You've got school and I've got a case." Dad informed me apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I was having a good dream. Be safe and don't get killed." I said a lot lighter.

"I'll try not to, and don't go getting yourself into any trouble. If you need anything call me and if it's really urgent call Penelope." Dad told me.

"I know. Now you should go, we can't have you missing the jet." I smiled. Dad hugged me.

"Be good and be safe." He said, walking towards the door.

"When am I not." I called out. After dad left I got out of bed. I got myself a quick breakfast as I needed to leave earlier to catch the bus. I got ready quickly as well, just shoving my hair into a messy ponytail. Picking up my bag and keys I headed to the door. This was the first proper case dad was called on and I was really dreading spending the night alone. Walking out of the apartment complex, I plugged myself into my phone and listened to my playlist as I waited for the bus. The bus stop wasn't far from our apartment and luckily for me I was running a bit late so I didn't have to wait to long. When it arrived I found myself a seat and decided to get lost into the world of rhythm the whole journey.

I arrived at school a lot earlier than usual. I swiftly made my way to homeroom, excited to see Henry. When I entered I was slightly disheartened that he hadn't arrived yet, but was still happy to see Grace and Sophie.

"Hey Stel." Grace smiled.

"Hey Grace, hey Sophie." I replied with a smile.

"You're early today, I take it Henry didn't stay over." Sophie smirked.

"Yeah, my dads on a case so I had to take the bus, and Henry's gone home." I replied.

"Talking about Henry I see." Jake said eavesdropping.

"All you two talk about is each other." Harry commented.

"Tell me about it, I tried to have a decent conversation with Henry the other day, but no, you're the only thing on his mind." Adam moaned, this caused me to blush.

"I don't talk about Henry all the time." I said, trying to defend myself a bit.

"You so do." They all said, simultaneously. Just then Henry walked in, looking slightly stressed.

"Hey guys, um what are you talking about?" He asked.

"Ooh nothing." Adam said, causing all of them to laugh.

"What's up with you? Overslept did we?" Jake asked.

"Kind of. No one woke me up. My mums on a case and my dad got called in. I had to practically run all the way because I missed the bus." Henry explained.

"Wait, hold up a sec. You've got a free house?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure for how long. Dad could come back tonight or early tomorrow, and mum could be back anytime." Henry said.

"Well what say we make good use of your free house." Adam said with a cunning look on his face.

"Guys no house party, I've only just been allowed back in my house." Henry moaned.

"Come on Henry. It doesn't have to be a party, I'm sure the seven of us could find a way to entertain ourselves." Harry smiled.

"I'm not sure guys." Henry replied, I could tell he didn't want to mess up the progress he'd already made with Will and JJ.

"Come on Henry." Sophie pleaded.

"Yeah, it'll be a laugh." Jake joined in.

"Fine! But as long as it's only the seven of us." Henry said, giving in.

"Yes!" Cried Adam.

"You know we love you." Smiled Harry.

"Yeah, yeah, of course you do." Henry smiled slightly. The group soon gathered, talking about plans for tonight.

"Hey Stella. I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to talk to you." Henry said, slightly ashamed.

"Don't worry. I've missed you though." I admitted.

"So have I! It's weird not having you next to me at night." Henry sighed slightly.

"I know, I miss my teddy Henry." I joked.

"Well stay the night then. Your going to be home alone and I'd much rather you be safe." Henry pleaded. Not wanting to look to keen, I pretended to think about his offer.

"Fine. I don't see any reason not to." I finally said.

"Great. I'll come to your after school so you can get ready, then we'll walk over to mine." Henry said excitedly.

"I can't wait." I said genuinely.

"Wow." I commented, as Henry took off his shirt. I was sitting on his bed. School had finally finished and wed just got back from my house. I was now sitting on Henry's bed whilst he changed.

"Wow, what?" Henry laughed, sliding on a polo shirt.

"You're hot Henry." I blurted out. Henry must be working out because his abs were amazing.

"Why thank you, you're not to bad yourself." Henry smiled. He slipped of his school trousers and put on a pair of jeans. He then sat next to me and stared at me intensely.

"Now I don't know about you, but I'd say we have about ten minutes, before people start arriving." Henry hinted.

"Well we should make the most of it then." I smiled cheekily. I'm not quite sure how but Henry and I ended up passionately making out on his bed. After what felt like an eternity, we were horribly interrupted by the doorbell.

"Do we have to get it." Henry moaned.

"Yes, we do." I smiled.

"Ooh but I just want to be with you, I missed you." Henry replied.

"Henry, we were away from each other for a night." I laughed.

"I know, but you're really one of a kind Stella." Henry smiled.

"Well you're not bad yourself." I joked. The doorbell got a lot louder.

"We should get that." Henry said standing up, and I followed.

Four hours later, five teenagers were passed out in a deep sleep on the living room floor. Henry and I had drunk, but felt responsible to be the sober ones. It had been an amazing night and everyone had a good time, but in the end the alcohol took over.

"We should go to bed." Henry suggested, looking at his watch.

"I know." I stretched, standing up and following him to his bedroom. I looked in the bag of clothes I brought, and was horrified to see that there was no pajamas.

"Uh Henry." I said embarrassed.

"Yes." He replied sweetly.

"I forgot my pjs." I said, my cheeks turning red from embarrassment.

"It's fine, you can just borrow one of my tops." Henry smiled. He passed me an oversized blue top and I slipped it on. I only had my panties on underneath, but luckily for me the top was fairly long. Henry slipped into bed next to me, for about an hour we just chatted. About friends. About family. About life really. Then out of nowhere, Henry kissed gently on the lips.

"What was that for?" I asked shocked.

"For being you." He replied. He did it again, but this time I kissed him back. Soon we were kissing again. His hands started at my hips but then moved slowly up my body. Once they reached the top, they made their way back down again. I hugged him tightly, not wanting this to ever stop. I don't think he did either.
