I remember that blanket. I remember it too much. I remember it too clearly it hurts. And I knew what was in that specific blanket.

Harry walked over to me without meeting my eyes. I turned my stare at the floor as he placed the blanket in my hands. And I did the biggest mistake I can make there.

I looked up to his eyes.

His eyes were glassy. Tears. There were tears in his eyes. And I felt the sharp pang at the back of my eyes. Why is this happening now? Why am I so weak? Damn it Cherry, hold your shit together.

"Here" Harry mumbled and turned and went back to his spot. He didn't catch my eye as wrapped the blanket around himself. I sat down on the floor again. From the corner of my eye, I saw Gemma giving me a confused glance.

"Okay" Niall said as we felt the air around us got thicker with tension. "Let's start" He handed each of a bottle of Coke, since Anne won't let them drink any alcohol.

"I'm gonna start" Louis said. "Never have I ever sent a dirty text to the wrong person"

Everyone chuckled and took a sip from their bottle. Everyone looked at me weird. i shrugged.

"You" Gemma pointed to me. "Sent a dirty text to someone?"

I shrugged. "It was to Olive, thankfully" Olive wooed.

"What did you sent?" Liam joined in. I widened my eyes and gave Olive a warning glance.

"She was saying something about butt sex" Olive cackled. Eveyone started laughing right. Well except for me and Harry. "Oh honey I-"

I closed the cap of my bottle before swinging it and smacked him right across his jaw. "Shut up dickhead"

"Woah" Olive swayed and fell on top of Zayn. Since the bottle was made of plastic nothing major happened to Olive's jaw.

"Woah, she can be very violent sometimes now right?" Niall said in between his laughs.

"Don't mess with her, yeah" Olive stated. I held up my middle finger at him before turinng back to the game.

"My turn" Harry said. "Never have I ever gone skinny dipping"

All the boys took a sip from the bottle.

"When did you go skinny dipping?" I asked Olive.

"Oh I went last month with Alicia" He simply said.

"Alicia?"

"Yup"

"Who's Alicia" Olive visibly tensed.

"You could say she's my girlfrien- yeah- kinda- girlfriend, yeah"  And that's when I choked on air. I stared at Olive with wide eyes. He gulped down.

"Oh we're going to have a long conversation tonight Olive" I warned and Olive nodded his head. The game went on, secrets were spilled. Niall admitted he sent a picture of his ass to his grandma who had a tantrum after seeing it. Louis confessed that he once stole his sister, Lottie's tampons pack for some unknown reason he won't tell us. Liam said he used to hang out with his older sisters too much when he was young and they make him wear make up sometimes. Zayn, well Zayn wasn't much more open, he just revealed that he sometimes smoke weed. And everyone knew that.

"Okay, now me" Gemma bounced. "Never have I ever broke someone's heart"

Everyone became silent you can hear a pin drop. No one took a sip. Gemma let her eyes dance over everyone before saying out loud.

"Good then-"

He got cut short when Harry lifted the bottle into his mouth and took a long gulp from his coke.

There goes the silence again.

"Whose heart did you break Haz?" Gemma gasped. Harry continued to drink out from the bottle.

Once Harry's over, he sighed. Then he lifted his eyes to look. To look at me. There was tears in his eyes. For the second time of this night, I saw tears in Harry Styles eyes. He didn't tear his gaze away from me. His stare was intruding. It was almost like he was apologizing but at the same time he was controlling me.

I shook my head and hugged my legs closer to my chest. Harry's stare was still on me. I needed to cry. I could already feel the tears bubbling up in my eyes.

"Cherry?" Gemma softly spoke, as if she was afraid to disturb the silence.

"Gem can you-" Harry started put paused. "Can you p-" He stopped himself again. I could hear the tears in his eyes. He was trying to stop the tears. I've experienced that before. It's when you are so near to break down and if you spoke you know you're tears will just spill out of you? "Damnit" 

"Haz" Gemma stopped him. I heard her getting up and soon others followed the suit. I felt a comforting pat on my shoulder, Probably Olive. I heard louis whisper a faint 'It's fine Haz'

Once they left, the space around us became quite, again.

I kept my gaze on the floor, too scared to look up. My hands were fisted around the blanket which was keeping me warm. It was burning on my skin.

"You kept this" I found myself speaking, just a faint whisper.

"I did"

"Why?"

"How could I not?"

I removed the blanket from myself before bringing it on to my lap. It was a white knitted blanket. One the edges were red pom poms, made from wool. They were attatched to the blanket with two green leaves at the end. And scattered around the white fabric was what took me to the edge. Cherries.

Harry and I got matching blankets on one Christmas. Of course it wasn't planned, but that turned out to be a huge coincidence. We were walking through streets of Holmes Chapel when he saw the blanket on a window of some thrift shop. I'm gonna get you that for Christmas. He said. So you and the blanket can match.

The next day, I went right into the thrift store and bought it, as Harry's Christmas gift. Harry on the other hand had gotten me a blanket from the same shop too. He had gone looking for the cherry blanket, but once the seller said it was sold the day before, Harry had gotten a blanket from the same design except there wasn't any patterns on it. It was a plain green blanket with pom poms at the edges. It was green, just like his eyes. 

Harry silently kept looking at me while I ran my fingers on the warm fabric. He looked like he was trying to ask me something.

"Did you kept yours?" He finally asked. I lifted my head to look at him.

"No" Yes.  "Why would I?"

QOC - What's your favorite music album of all the time

Well I would have to go with Made in the A.M (obviously) because it really....I don't know how to descirbe it. Made in the a.m is so sad and depressing but at the same time it's just a ball of sunshine. You know what I mean. And I also love FOUR by One Direction (duh!) 

That's a wrap
