Bruised. (A Harry Styles Love Story)

Chapter 18

Jacey’s POV

I slipped into consciousness as I heard someone knock heavily on my door. “Wake up Jace!” Louis said, he was obviously my new alarm clock now days. Always woke me up in the morning. I heard the door opening, shuffling feet followed and suddenly the curtains opened wide. I hid under my covers. “Noo!” I groaned feeling like a creature of the night.

“Oh come on Jacey, we have things to do today! Fun things!” He sang as his voice got distant and the door came to a close. I decided to lay there for five extra minutes, getting used to the blinding sunlight that shown through the windows.

Once I finally rose out of bed, I rubbed my eyes and headed for the shower. When I got out I put on something comfy and made my way out of the room. I walked out into the small living room/kitchen. Where everyone was minding their own business. “About time!” Louis said. I rolled my eyes, taking my hair band off my arm and tied my hair up in a sloppy ponytail.

I then made my way over to the refrigerator and grabbed some orange juice.

I poured myself a glass. Eleanor walked over to me, “Lazy day?” She asked, eying my outfit.

I nodded. “Oh yeah..” I sighed still pretty tired. I’m not much of a morning person. I took a sip of my juice almost choking on it as someone came up behind me.  “Hey Jacey.” Zayn said, a small smile on his lips. “Hey, sleep well?” I asked, giving him a genuine smile. Zayn gave a shrug, yawning in the process. “Yeah I suppose.” He said, then grabbed a banana and leaned against the counter. “You know, Harry won’t ever shut up about you. He gave me a mouth full last night.” He chuckled then peeled the banana and took a bite.  “Hm…what’s he say?” I asked.

“A lot. He’s like fangirling over you.” He laughed. I glanced over at Harry who eyed Zayn suspiciously. I shook my head and smiled lightly. “Well, I’m going to go shower, I need it.” Zayn said patting my head as he headed off.

I’m not a dog..

Since I’ve been living with Eleanor and the boys, I’ve realized how much I’ve changed in such little time. They changed me in a good way and I’m really happy they did. I’m lucky I have them, they’re my family.

Harry walked over to me and raised an eyebrow.

“What were you too talking about?” Harry asked. A hint of jealousy and curiousity in his eyes.

“Oh nothin’” I smirked ruffling his hair and walking away.

Harry grabbed my hand spinning me around, his face dangerously close to mine.

“Nothing is not an answer..” He said seductively.

“GET A ROOM GUYS!” Niall yelled, eating a mouth full of cereal.

My body froze up as his eyes connected with mine.  

Oh god, oh god, too close.

“When I say nothing, I mean nothing. Just simple greetings.” I said, getting closer to him, he got tense and his eyes widened slightly. I can play at this game too.

“Whatever you say..” He whispered winking at me and walking away.

I grabbed some wheat bread and Nutella. This stuff is amazing, like…like…. pure sex…

Okay maybe that’s a little too exaggerated.

I then sat down next to Eleanor and Niall who were watching the news.

“Good morning San Francisco! Today will be a bright and sunny day. Fairly hot and a few passing clouds. Go and get out to the beach! Or perhaps the zoo!” The weather man smiled.
