I Did This?

Chapter 8

*Zayn's POV*

"Penny. Can I ask you something?" I asked. "Sure." I led her to her first class because she enrolled here to be with me. "I kind of want to have a proper date. Like I could take you out." I said. "I'd love that." she said. "After school, I can take you to lunch?" I offered. She kissed my cheek and the bell rang. "Yes." I hugged her and headed to my own class. Yes! Mission accomplished.

I found Penny at her last class of the day and we found our bikes. "I'm headed somewhere. I'll meet you home tonight." Harry said. "Alright." I said.

Penny got on her bike and I hopped on mine, leading her to a small restaurant. We parked our bikes on the side of the building and walked inside. We waited a few minutes before we got a table. We got drinks to start and ordered our food.

"Penny." "Yes." she sing-songed. I smiled. "Tell me about yourself. I only know that your very beautiful and your a werewolf." I whispered when I said the last word. That's not something you say out loud in public of course. "That's all. I want to know everything there is to know about my wonderful girlfriend." I explained.

She smiled and said, "Well. I lived with my dad for my whole life. My dad was gay and his husband died when I was young. My dad and I were really close. He taught me everything about myself. We lived in Manchester for a while until we moved up north in Wales. I don't remember the town name because we stayed there for a few months before my dad passed. He had a heart attack."

"I'm sorry." I said. I felt really bad. He was all she had. "It's alright. I like talking about my dad. Just not that part. Anyway. When he passed, I left and came down here. That's when I met you and Harry." "Well you can stay with me as long as you need. Unless its forever. Then I would be overjoyed." I said. She giggled. "Thank you. It means a lot that you'd take me in." she said.

I continued talking about myself and my family. She told me more about herself and shared some interesting stories about her friends. When we finished eating, we left to go back home.

Hopping on our bikes we rode through town, taking the long way to my house. "This place is so nice." se stated. "It's a nice neighborhood, yea. There are never any bad things that happen here. It's a peaceful place." I explained. We rode down the streets, admiring all the average-sized houses that filled the small town.

*Harry's POV*

I saw Alison throughout the day. She told me to meet up with her at my first period class at the end of the day during one of the classes we had together. I waited there and she snuck behind me, immediately hugging me. "Hey. Where are we going?" I asked. "I don't know. We could go anywhere." "I thought you had something planned." I thought she asked me because she knew what we were doing. Think quick Harry.

"No. This was last minute." she said. She grabbed my hand, intertwining fingers and asked, "Do you wanna go to my place?" I went from looking at our hands to her eyes. The golden brown shone through the tint of green. It was beautiful. "Sure." I said, swallowing nervously. She just knew how to take my breath away.

We walked out hand in hand to her car and drive off. Josh was nowhere in sight; Alison told me earlier that he was leaving during the school day to go on a vacation for his mother's birthday. We had the whole week to ourselves and he would be back by Friday.

We arrived at her place and she led me in the familiar abode. We went to her room and we sat on the bed. I laid down with her cuddling next to me.

We talked for hours on end about each other. I just had to be stupid and ask, "Why are you going out with Josh if you don't like him?" It got strangely quiet as she sighed and told me. "He wasn't a jerk. When we first got together, he was sweet. Now he kinda uses the popularity to bully people. The last new kid that I befriended had to transfer because Josh wouldn't stop." "Oh." I breathed.

There was a knock at the door and she started to get up. "I'll get it. It's probably my mom from work." She closed the door behind her and headed for the door. I could hear what was happening.

*Alison's POV*

I was happy that Harry was making an effort to gain my trust again. He scared me that first night. Now he just wanted to be my friend. I kind of wanted more. Josh was a jerk and I didn't feel anything when we kissed. He wasn't the same person as he was when we first met. Harry makes me feel, almost alive.

I opened the door and there stood the devil. He grabbed my wrist and pushed himself inside, using me. "Where is he?" he asked. "I thought you were with your mom on vacation?" I asked. "She got mono so we are postponing the trip to next weekend. Now answer me. Where. Is. He?" "Not here." For the first time, I felt a sting on my cheek from a slap. "Don't lie to me." he threatened. Harry came bounding down the stairs and saw the slap.

"Don't hurt her! You sick bastard!" Harry yelled as Josh was pushed against the wall, Harry holding him by the collar. "What kind of man lays a hand on a woman? Have some respect." Harry growled. Harry had swung at Josh's cheek, close to his eye.

Before Harry could hit again I stopped him. Harry looked to me with compassion. "I'm sorry." he apologized. Harry lifted Josh of the wall, Josh smirking at me. I shot him a disgusted look. Harry threw him out, yelling, "Don't come back! Or I'll do worse." I looked out the door and Josh. He looked upset, about to cry and whine like a child. It was almost pathetic. "Ali, please." he pleaded. "We're done." I confirmed for him and he stormed away.

Harry led me back inside and grabbed an ice pack for my cheek. "Thank you." I said. "Your welcome. A man is not a man if he hurts a girl. Especially someone as beautiful as you." he said. He placed the ice pack gently as I winced from the sudden cold source. Harry eased it on my cheek, careful not to hurt me.

It was silent as I looked to him. I admired all of his features. The way his chocolate brown curls fell on his face. The twisted hair looked soft and gentle. His skin was smooth and perfect. His eyes glimmered, even in the lack of light from my house. A bright emerald green, they were. His lips were full and pink as they pulled back on his face, forming a smile. He really was a one of a kind guy.

*Harry's POV*

She looked to me as I placed the ice pack on her check. I smiled as I saw her beauty. She was perfect. Should I take this chance. I asked myself if I should even be here. Wasn't I dangerous? I decided I should as I leaned in slowly. She followed through, meeting me halfway. Our foreheads touched and I felt her breath on my lips.

This was for all the marbles. Millimeters away and I heard a the jingle of the front door open. "Honey! I'm home!" It was her mom. So damn close. He giggled and went to say 'Hi' to her mother. I put the ice pack back in the freezer.

Alison followed her mom back in the kitchen and asked, "Oh. Who are you?" Alison whispered to her and she gasped. "You look different." she stated. "I didn't change anything." I said. "Something changed." She walked to the fridge and I said, "Alison. I should go. Zayn's probably freaking out about where I am." "Oh. Ok. I'll see you at school. Right?" "Absolutely." I said.

I snatched a quick kiss on her lips while her mom was turned around and headed out the door. That quick kiss made me feel almost whole inside. The sparks were short but sweet, and I loved every second and millisecond.

I ran back to school to pick up my bike and rode home. Tonight, was probably the best of night ever.
