Kiss You (1D fanfic)

Chapter 3

Charlotte's POV -

I rubbed my eyes and sat up. It was pitch black in the room, not even the tiniest light had managed to squeeze through the black blinds. I felt my way to the door, slipping over my clothes and make-up in my hurry to reach it. I let out the breath I had been holding in as I twisted the steel handle, and collapsed in the hallway. I hadn't realised how much my heart had been hammering, how scared I had been in the room. I guess my fear of the darkness was still there.

I walked over to the cupboard and reached for the coffee jar, but realised it was empty. We didn't have enough money for extras, everything was dependent on what I raised that week.... I was lucky to have found a job - even if it was going to be humiliating to be working at my own school, it brought in a consistent, good salary that would help me pay the bills. I knew I would have to take on other jobs on the side if for birthdays or Christmas, but other than that I would,for the first time in years, have just one job. As there was no coffee, I heated up myself a glass of warm milk and sat by the window, staring out into the frosty looking road. I thought about how different my life was. Two years ago I was a girl with a loving family, a group of amazing (or so I thought) friends, and every boy in the school wanted me... Now I had no one apart from Bella.

When they found out I was pregnant, my parent's disowned me. They sent me a cheque in the post twice a month, and found me a place to stay, but other than that, I never saw them. My friends didn't want to know me, and the father (the biggest player in the school) didn't want to know either..... My parent's only started talking to me about 6 months ago. They realised what they had done was wrong, and decided they wanted to be a part of mine and Bella's life again. Although I did feel sorry for myself, I knew that it was the right thing to have done. Bella was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I loved her so much. But if only I could look after her better.....

Harry's POV -

I couldn't stop thinking about how much Charlotte had changed. What happened to the clever, confident and stunning girl I used to know? I didn't usually go for the pretty girls, but there was something about her that made me want to run up and kiss her.

I wanted to speak to her more about her child..... how old were they? Girl or boy? Who was the father? So many questions were running through my head, I was finding it hard to breathe....

"Harry? You look a bit pale? And what was that you were saying about Charlotte?" Mum asked me. We were having dinner.

I blushed and looked down. I didn't realise I was talking out loud....

"You are, dear. Maybe you should go lie down?"

I sighed,and jammed my plate in the dishwasher.

"I'll take Bowie to the park, get some fresh air..." I mumbled, running out of the house.

Charlotte's POV -

I pushed Bella along, laughing as her sweet little voice squealed 'we're soaring, flying!' She had an annoying obsession with high school musical, which had grown and grown as she saw each movie. Now she was completely obsessed - there wasn't a day that went by when she didn't watch at least one of the movies again. We were on the way to her playgroup, and she was excited about seeing her friends for the last day before Christmas. Together, we had made star shaped iced cookies for the class, and she was clutching the container to her heart, as she shrieked. I tugged down my skirt, it was annoyingly long, but I wanted to make a good impression. Today was my trial day, which seemed silly as we had a two week holiday tomorrow, but I was happy anyway. I had been saving up for months for Christmas, but a little extra money was always good.

"Hey, Charlotte?" A deep voice behind me said.

I spun round carefully, making sure not to topple the buggy, to be greeted to the face of Harry Styles, his green eyes piercing into mine.

"Harry? But? One Direction?" I stuttered.

He smiled, looking entertained. "It's my winter break....."

"Yea.....?" I said, not catching on.

He chuckled, and looked over at Bella in her pram. She gave him a wide smile.

"Hello! What's your name?" He said enthusiastically, looking at her intently.

"I'm Bella! Like in Beauty and the Beast!! But I'm not married to a BEAST! Boys smell!" She replied just as enthusiastically, her smile growing bigger.

"How old ar------" Harry began, but suddenly, he grabbed my arm and the buggy and pulled us roughly, a look of madness on him face.

"Harry!?" I exclaimed, terrified.

I looked behind me, and saw a car skidding on the ice. The driver was pulling hard on the breaks,but the car was just gaining speed. And he was driving towards us.

I screamed.

We were all going to die....
