I looked up as Harry walked into the living room; Briony following close behind. She gave me an apologetic look before sitting back down on the sofa opposite me. "Doug, you ready to go?" He asked; not looking at me at all. "Yepp," Dougie said, jumping off the sofa, "cheers for the tea, Briony," I looked at the mug on the table, I didn't remember Briony making tea, "and thanks Mary for the insight into your personal life." Dougie winked. He was a little pervert sometimes. I smiled at Harry; he didn't even acknowledge it.
As they walked out the door, I felt a tear roll down my cheek. He had actually ignored me. Harry had literally, blatantly, ignored my existence. I'd understand if we'd just met, but no, weren't we meant to be a couple? Briony came and sat next to me, "Mary, it's alright, he just needs some alone time. I'm sure he regrets acting like that around you." She rubbed my back.
"I'm just being stupid... I shouted at him earlier, of course he's gonna hate me." I put my head in my hands.
"Do you wanna come to the cinema with me and Tom, cheer you up a bit?" She asked. I lifted my head.
"I don't want to ruin your date." I smirked; emphasising 'date'.
She sighed, "it's not a date. It's just as friends, we're seeing the new disney film, Wreck It Ralph.' She smiled. Briony had wanted to see that film for ages, and now she had a disney freak to go with.
"Like I said, I don't want to ruin it for you. I'll stay home, be nice to have some time alone, sort my head out a bit." I half-smiled, getting up and heading for the staircase, "hope you have a great time." I didn't mean to sound blunt. It just came up spiteful.
"Byeeee!" Briony called up the stairs. Hearing the door slam shut, I walked over to my stereo, and blasted McFly full volume, feeling the bass pump around the room. Picking up my phone, I clicked on the little text message button, and hovered over Harry's name with my thumb. I then thought back to how he hurt me earlier. Subconsciously, my thumb moved to Danny's name and pressed down,
Hey! What you up to? x
I text quickly, guilt slowing rising up my body. I had a feeling I knew how this night was going to turn out. I got a reply almost immediately,
Hi there! Not much, why? x
Right, so at least he knew of my existence,
I have a crappy love life, I'm home alone, in desperate need of alcohol, and need someone to talk to. Fancy coming over? x
Why did I just tell him that. He isn't one of my girly best friend's, he's a fucking guy! So as I was regretting sending that text, another one came through,
Give me a few minutes and I'll be round. Which alcoholic beverage would you prefer? ;) x
That made me think,
I don't care, just something that will get me drunk and relieve stress ;) x
Wow, that was the first time I had ever said a sentence like that...
One stress-relieving-drink-that-will-get-you-drunk drink coming up, madam ;) see you in 10 x
I smiled at the text. Danny always managed to make me smile. A lot more than Harry actually... I didn't just think that. Harry is the one for me... Danny is just a friend... right?
