Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 22
Harry's eyes were so sharp and determined.
I held in my breath, in fear of what Harry had to urgently tell me.
Seconds gone by, but they felt like eternity.
I was getting impatient by now, I was literally trembling with curiosity.
Harry suddenly sucked in a deep breath, as he bit his lips.
"Did you notice that Dani wasn't at the party today?" he asked.
I stared up at him, as my eyes roamed his perfect face, nodding.
"That's the thing... you see..."
"She got ran over by a car?" I asked excitedly.
Harry frowned. "No, not that-"
"She fell off a cliff and broke her neck?" I asked, beaming with wild thoughts.
Harry's rosy lips had twitched up into a bewildered smirk by now. "Colby, not that either. Listen-"
"Oh! Wait! She got pushed into the ocean and got eaten by a shark?!" I gushed.
Harry's hands wrapped around both of my wrists.
The grin wiped off of my face, as my heart raced at the fact that he was holding me.
Harry pressed his forehead agaisnt mine, as I flushed from our short distance.
"Why do you sound so excited at those thoughts of my ex-girlfriend?" he whispered.
My eyes widened.
No way. Did he just say-?
"You broke up with her?" I asked, almost too shocked to speak.
Harry's lips twitched up to a small smile, as he nodded.
Horror washed over my face, as I pushed Harry's body away from mine gently.
I began searching both of his arms, looking for bruises or cuts.
"Colby! What are you doing?" he asked, pulling his arms away.
"Oh God! You broke up with Dani?! She must've freaked on you!" I cried.
Harry shook his head, as brown locks went flying out of his face.
"No! She didn't kill me. She just got angry... and thought that I was leaving her for..." he paused, looking at me intently. "you."
My heart wrenched, as my gaze dropped to the wooden flooring of the deck.
"M-me? O-oh." I hesitated, licking my lips.
It wasn't true, now was it?
Harry would've never broken up with Dani for someone like me.
Dani had long, platinum blonde hair. Her icy blue eyes could seduce any man she wanted. She was tall and thin enough to be a model, and to top it all off, she had a gorgeous tan complexion.
Me? I was the complete opposite of Dani.
My hair was nothing special; straight and dark brown. My eyes were also a boring shade of brown. I was average in height, and I was thin, but barely had any curves. My skin was pale, even after all the sunburns I had recieved this summer.
Straight to the point, I was never going to be better than Dani.
I felt Harry's long, lean fingers tilt my chin up, as he took a brace step closer to me.
I gulped, as I forced myself to look at his blazing eyes.
"Why do you sound so disappointed?" he asked, eyes shining.
"I'm not." I lied, turning my face away from him.
Harry traced his warm hands down my cheek, as he leaned in.
I closed my eyes, waiting for his lips to come in contact with mine.
But, I didn't want them to.
Harry must've noticed my flinching, because he brushed his lips agaisnt my cheek, instead.

the depressing moment

when you only get a few likes on your profile picture.

I cried a lot because of you.

Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 18
A little under an hour later, Jason had showered, as I waited in his backyard, trying not to get splashed by the guys that were goofing around in the pool.
Jason finally came through the screen doors, with his hair fully blown dry.
He grinned cheekily at me, as he held out a hand for me.
I smiled back, as I took his hand.
"Where are you two going?" Gerald asked, rising up from the pool.
Harry's eyes shot towards where Jason's and mine's hands tied together.
He looked at Jason with envy, as his eyes flashed back to mine with saddness.
I stared away, shuffling my feet as I focused on the ground.
"I'm taking Colby out for dinner." Jason smiled, pulling me closer to him.
Addison frowned, as Harry abruptly stood up from his sunchair.
Dani sprang up with him, due to the fact that she was hanging on his arm.
"Really? Why don't Dani and I come with?" he gritted through his teeth.
A part of me wished that he would come, but a part of me also wished he wouldn't.
Without hesitation, Jason nodded. "Why not? That sounds like a double date to me."
I cursed under my breath, as Jason gave me a curious look.
Harry jogged up to us, with Dani lunging behind.
"Great, where are we eating?" Harry asked, as we climbed into Jason's car.
I crossed my arms stubbornly, as I stared out the window.
"I was thinking between Japanese or Italian." Jason responded.
Dani suddenly let out an annoying moan from the back.
"Ew. I hate raw fish, and pasta is so fattening!" she cried.
I rolled my eyes, shooting her a glare.
How could Harry deal with someone who was so whiny and irritating?
If I was with Harry, I would never be like that.
I clenched my fists in anger, wondering why I would even think of such a stupid thing.
"Maybe you shouldn't have come with us, then." I muttered under my breath.
I guess I didn't say that quietly enough, because I watched from the rearview mirror, as Dani sprang up from her seat.
"What did you just say?" Dani asked, flipping her bleached hair behind her shoulder.
"I said, maybe you shouldn't have come with us if you're going to be so picky." I groaned, calling out louder this time.
I could feel Jason glancing towards me, while stuggling to keep his eyes on the road.
Dani let out a screech, as she laid her head on Harry's shoulder.
Harry shifted uncomfortably, as Dani glared at me with her icy blue eyes.
"Harry! Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Dani asked.
"Shush, babe. We're going to Japanese, okay, Jason?" Harry asked.
Jason nodded, as he made a turn.
The care was completely silent, except for the faint sound of music coming from the radio.
After a good five minutes, I watched as Dani peck Harry's lips.
I caught Harry making a disgusted face, as Dani's lips met his.
Dani pulled away, and smiled at me with evilness.
"Well, at least we aren't going to Italian. It's so fattening, I don't want to look like Colby in the future." Dani purred.
I was sure that she didn't mean for me to hear it, but I did.
I could tell Jason didn't hear her, because his eyes were so concentrated on the road.
Harry, on the other hand, stared at me with sympathy, as I threw my head back on the cushion.
"Don't say that, babe. She's gorgeous." I heard Harry mumbled after a minute.
