AN: btw I always saw ruby as Margot Robbie but with brown eyes so Idk about you but its very pretty

RUBY

I replayed my actions with Harry in my head as I drove home, feeling overwhelmed by my own actions

I don't know what came over me but it was the best feeling if I do say so myself, I had this man who craved control almost wrapped around my finger, waiting for my very move so he could snap at me, but somehow he never did until now, but then again this was our first interaction since I stood up for all these girls years ago, my idea about him never didn't change since then and I liked that, it's easier to make your way around something you're familiar with than something new and confusing, I don't know how fucked I am for this tour  but I guess we'll just have to see

I guess my thoughts helped me for once and I'm shortly pulling up in my driveway, killing the engine and locking my car before I head inside.

walking inside and taking off my shoes, I heard voices inside which actually excited me, because it means that my family is home for once, but hearing an unfamiliar voice stopped me in my track

"mom?!" I called into the house hoping that I'm just imagining shit at this point from the heat outside

"in here, Ruby!" 

uh oh

fuck she's mad, what the fuck did I do?!

I walked my way cautiously into the kitchen, seeing my mother's short blonde hair behind the counter doing God knows what, and a curly head of hair on the stool behind the counter

who the hel-

no

no, you're kidding me

he didn't

"Ruby Amelia Hart, you wanna explain to me what tour this young man is talking about?!" my mother spoke in rage as I stood 6 inches away from where Harry is sat, looking at me like I just offered him some ice cream, not whatever the fuck he just said to my mother

"yeah Ruby, it's not nice to hide stuff from your mom you know?" he smirked slightly my way, his British accent filling my ringing ears, hoping that this is just a fucking joke

"yeah mom I got a job as Mr. Styles' here, drummer" I fake confidence once again, hoping that it gets me somewhere

"I already told you, Ruby a million times this drumming thing is not a job" my mother bitterly fired back, as if she's been here the whole time

your just an X in the equation mother, unknown

"well, I'm an adult mother, I'll make my own choices" I fire back, making both Harry and my mother look my way in shock

what is it with everyone and shocked expressions lately?!

"you do not speak to me like that" she gritted her teeth and starting walking towards me

no I know what's coming

not in front of my boss 

she stopped right in front of me and whispered "we're gonna talk about this later, I'm not going to jail when you're finally 19 and out of my hair" and she walked around me and went upstairs, leaving me once again alone with Harry 

"did you just flinch?" he broke the silence that my mother left us in, looking at me with an empty expression, but I can see the shock he's trying so hard to hide

"no" I answer back with zero emotion, walking into the kitchen and pulling out 2 bottles of water from the fridge and walking back to the kitchen island, handing him one while I open mine deep in thoughts about what just happened and what will happen after this man is out of my house

"tour is tomorrow, you should go pack, I came by to pick you up," he said without looking at me, too busy looking at his water label like it's a Nolan movie 

"fine" 

as I stand up, I hear him murmur something to himself, but I'm too deep in my thoughts to even ask him what he said, so I just continue my walk upstairs to pack my bags, hoping that I won't deal with my mother until I'm out
