On My Own

Meeting the Band

MARIA'S POV~

We sat talking for a while, eating while I learned more about him. The real Harry styles, not the famous band member.

"So where is the rest of the boys?" I ask looking around the restaurant.

"They're probably waiting in the van for me." He said slurping on his milkshake.

"Don't you think their gonna get mad?" I asked laughing, almost choking on my iced tea.

He ran his hand through his hair.

"Why would they? Niall was the one who wanted to come here in the first place. He almost made us crash. Are you ok ? " he asked looking up at me concerned .

"I'm fine." I said as Louis walked through the front door, followed by Niall .

"Hey mate. Where'd zayn and Liam go?" He asked walking up to Harry.

"I dunno." Harry replied.

"NANDOS!!" Niall screamed running up to the register where grace was.

Her eyes grew wide.

"How come nobody mobbed you guys yet?" I asked Harry who was now facing me again.

"Your town is small and we aren't supposed to be here until tomorrow but we landed earlier than expected"

"Oh." I replied as Louis came back with Liam and zayn at his side.

"Found em" he said looking directly at me.

Niall came back with food in his hand, and they all sat around me.

"Oh, Hello." He said looking at me.

"Hi." I replied lifting my hand then slapping it back down on my lap.

Zayn looked at me.

"Who's this? " he said turning to stare at Harry.

Harry nodded in my direction.

"I'm Maria." I said looking at him.

I pushed my long black hair over my shoulder.

"Ow! Everyone's gotta hit the Irish one."

"Sorry!" I said picking up my phone.

"LET'S GO CRAZY CRZAY CRAZY TILL WE SEE THE SUN" They boys all glanced at me.

I answered.

"Hey Maria! Where'd you go?" I heard Michelle say through the phone.

"I'm at NANDOS."

"Oh, are you done? Amanda's getting hungry."

I sighed.

"I'll be there soon. I'm leaving now."

I hung up and started to exit the booth.

"Where you going?" Asked Harry who was now gazing at me.

I moved the bang that covered my eyes.

"I've gotta go. My-" I thought about this for a moment. He doesn't need to know about my daughter. This was a one time opportunity and I probably won't see them again.

"Your what?" He said snapping me out of my trance.

"My...Best friend. She needs help." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well it was lovely meeting you Maria. Are you going to our concert tomorrow?"

"I don't think so. I've just started living on my own."

He raised an eyebrow at my answer.

"I don't go to school. It's a long story."

He nodded.

"Can I get a quick picture with you guys?"

Louis chuckled. "Eh, why not? YOLO!"

I handed Harry my phone and he snapped a picture of us.

"Thanks." I said reaching for my phone.

"Don't you want one with me?" He asked sticking out his lower lip.

"Yeah." I replied and he turned on the front camera, kissing me on the cheek at the last second.

I blushed.

"Thanks " I said as Louis tapped me on the shoulder.

"Here you go." He handed me a bag of food.

"Thanks." I replied grabbing my phone from Harry.

"Bye!" I said rushing through the front door.
