Jas POV

It's really amazing how fast time has flown. Friday was finally here. I
still could not believe what Harry had said about wanting to spend this
evening with me instead of going to the party. He loved to party and so do
I. We used to go to every party, whether invited or crashed ones, enjoying
the free booze, the dancing and the girls. That's how a straight person
should be. Right? But not tonight... hehe!

Reaching school this morning as usual, at our locker, we were bombarded by
Patrick and Ryan in regard to the party.

"Harry tonight you're coming right? You better come ya. I am really looking
forward to spent time together with you.... I.. I mean all of us.... having
fun tonight." Patrick yapping in a single breath. Only to stop at the end
to take a deep breath. We all stared at him and after a few second we laugh
at his predicament.

"You guys, me too. It will be fun as always. The four of us." Ryan added.

"Huh, well....... I'm kind off......." I stuttered. Before I even continued
Harry spoke.

"Sorry Patrick, Ryan. We have to skip this one. Me and Jas had already had
planned for tonight. Right Jas?" Harry turned to me and winked.

"Yes, yes... sorry." I stuttered again and was blushing so badly. My cheeks
felt so hot at the moment and I was hoping that the guys did not see the
redness on my face.

"NO! NO! NO!" Patrick snapped looking at Harry's bluntly. All of us were
shocked of the moment. Looking at his face redden with anger and we think
there's fumes coming out from the top of his head. People around us turn to
stare at this small commotion. Everyone seems silent and waiting for
Patrick to carry on. Harry gave a glance around us and as if on cue
everyone start to move away.

 "Why, Harry, why are you always spending time with Jas alone and not
together with us like we used to. Aren't Ryan and me your best friends
anymore? What we have done wrong to be side parked always. Tell us Harry."
he spoke with a teary eyes. Not waiting for any answer, he just turned
around and run away towards our classroom. Ryan gave us a sad look and run
after Patrick.

I am so flabbergasted, surprised and shocked all in one. Turning to
Harry's', there was sadness in his eyes. His face looked stoic with no
expression, I could not tell if he is angry or sad. But his eyes tell
everything. I tapped his shoulder lightly. He turned to face me and I saw
the beginning of a tear at the corner of his eyes. He looked so vulnerable
at that moment, so I do what I think best, and hug him. He sobs on my
shoulder. Hearing him cry makes me start to cry too.

He pushed, gently away, he looked at me and turned to go to class. Entering
the classroom, the atmosphere was rather solemn. Our teacher Mr. Brown had
not arrived yet. So we proceed to our desk. Everyone seems to glance sadly
towards us, but mainly to Harry. He was out on the spot with the event in
the locker room. Going up the stairs to our seat, my eyes landed on Ryan.
He looked at me and nodded his head while Patrick had his face palmed on
his desk sobbing silently.

I felt so guilty as this was somehow all my fault. Because of my
selfishness, I had forgotten of our friendship with Patrick and Ryan. I
turned to face Harry, who was looking out the window ignorant with the
things happening around him. I tapped him again. He looks at me. "Harry, we
don't have to do it tonight. We can do some other days if you still want
to." I spoke in a low voice. Do not really wanting for the rest of the
people around us hearing it.

"I'm sorry Jas. Just to be fair to you too, I will just stay at home
tonight." His words just came out as a mumble, loud enough for me to hear.

"No Harry, for friendship's sake, lets all four of us go to the party
together as always." I suggested. He shook his head in disagreement.

"No. Instead lets do this. Keep on with the plan, I'll talked to Patrick
and Ryan later. But there's going to be some changes k." I just nodded.

The class had ended and Harry quickly went to Patrick and Ryan.

"Guys, we need to talk." Ryan and Patrick looked at each other and followed
Harry and me out the door. We walked together silently out from school
toward our hang out place. Once we have reached there, Harry was the first
one to speak.

"Patrick, Ryan. Look, I'm really, really sorry if lately me and Jas seems
to forget about our friendship and all. Not my intention seriously."

Patrick tried to interrupt, but Harry stops him. "Let me finish. I treasure
our friendship so much and I don't want anything to happen with it. All of
this is just a misunderstanding. I do really not like to go to Carmelia
party due to the obvious reason I don't like her. Both of you know what
happen between me and her right. I'm sorry I didn't inform both of you and
I asked Jas to make plans for tonight." Harry spoke lengthily. "So, let me
make up to the both of you. Let all of us go out together tonight and have
fun as always. Just the four of us."

All four of us just looked at each other.. After a minute of silence,
Patrick was the first one to speak. "I am sorry guys for being childish and
jeopardize our friendship. I shouldn't act that way. It's so immature from
my side." he looked as though he was going to cry.

Not another word was spoken, Harry just went closer to Patrick and hug him
tightly. Seeing that, me and Ryan jumped to join them in a group hug. It
was really a romantic scenario. Together once again like always. A
friendship that is bound by love and brotherhood.

That Friday night, Patrick had borrowed his father's car to pick us up one
after the other. Ryan sat beside him and I was sitting in the back seat
with Harry. All the way to town, we had been sitting rather comfortably
close to each other. Occasionally I would be holding on to Harry's tight
for stability whenever Patrick makes a sharp turn.

Harry's had his one arm over my shoulder and was holding me closer to him
and he radiates warmth from his body and the scent that he was wearing,
soothes my scent of smell serenely. All night long Harry's was always by my
side and I am not complaining. Whether in the movie theater or at the
diners, he will be beside me.

The night was filled with laughter and joy as we were reminiscing the time
spent with each other like old times. We had decided to make plans for a
camping trip, just the four of us, during the school break and all of us
are enthusiastically looking forward for the day to come. I treasure and
love our friendship.

But I will always love Harry more.
