All The Same Mistakes{Harry Styles fanfic}

Ch 16

I pulled outside of my house. I chuckle to myself a bit, remembering Grace would be here soon. "Welcome home!" Harry waved from the couch. I frowned at him, examining his busted lip and black eye. "You look bad, babe." I slipped off my shoes by the front door. "Wha- oh. Yeah I know." He said, placing a finger onto his reddened lip. "Uh, I have company over tonight." I looked at him. "What! No, you cant? I look horrible." Harry yelped. "She'll be here soon." I smiled as I sat next to him.

A knock came to the door about fifteen minutes later. "I got it." I lifted my head from Harry's chest. "Hey!" I smiled as I opened the door. "Hey Banana!" Grace smiled. "Who's your fri-" Harry cut himself off when Grace stepped into the door. He looked mortified. "What are you doing here?" He mouthed, tilting his head. "Harry I told her." She giggled, slipping her heels off.

"What? Um, uh.","Harry it's fine. Why didn't you tell me earlier, guys?" I asked as I walked back towards the couch. "Yeah, Harry?" Grace asked Harry as she sat back into the love seat. "Well uh. I don't know actually." Harry looked at his shaking fingers. "N-no reason." He sniffled. "Harry why are you crying?" I cuddled next to him.

"Is there something else you're keeping from me?" I asked, getting irritated. "Please, Harry. Tell me. We can't do this anymore." I looked him into his teary green eyes. "Please." I pleaded. "Fine!" He yelled. "Come with me." He grabbed my hand and pulled me up from the couch. "Uh, grace we'll be right back?" I said confused as Harry pulled me down the hall into his room.

"Harry what's going on?" I sat onto the end of his bed beside him. "I was protecting you guys..." He sniffled again. "From what?" I asked quietly. "Alex. He- he.." He stared at me for a second, his head soon falling into his hands. "Harry?" I took him into my arms as he started crying harder. He usually wasn't so weak. "Harry, calm down." I stroked his back. He placed his hands onto his thighs and revealed his wet, red face. I wiped his cheek with my sleeve. "Just breathe." I whispered. He started coughing, in result from crying so hard. "Harry, please tell me." I took his wrist.

Harry cleared his throat. "He- said... he said he'd kill you guys." He mumbled out. "W-what?" I whispered, looking Harry in the eyes. "He texts me everyday. I tell him I'll call the cops, then he puts down more threats and I don't know what to do. I'm just making it worse." He started crying lightly. "I don't want him to hurt you like he hurt Grace. I wouldn't be able to make it without you guys. You're all I have." He combed his fingers through his hair, beginning at his tear soaked bangs. I just kind of stared at him for a moment. "Can we go back into the living room." He asked. "Are you going to tell grace?","I was hoping you could."

"Grace, uh can I talk to you?" I asked as I walked down the hall behind Harry. "Sure?" She stood from the couch and walked into my room with me. "Well, Harry said that Alex.. He threatened to." I was cut off with building tears, my throat becoming hoarse. "Alex said he'd kill us." I looked into her puzzled eyes. "He- he calls and texts Harry everyday." I looked at the wall, breaking our eye contact.

After my choked explanation we end up being in each others arms, crying until Harry poked his head into the door. "Are you guys okay?" He smirked weakly. "Y-yeah." We looked at him, quickly breaking our embrace. "You wanna cry with us?" Grace asked, being as cheeky as Harry. "I'm good?" Harry cocked an eyebrow with a grin as he closed the door. Grace and I looked at each others tear stained faces and laughed. "

We finally cleared our throats and walked out of my room. "Did you have fun?" Harry looked at us. "Great fun." Grace smiled. "Hey, I gotta head out. I'll see you tomorrow banana. Harry, are you gonna see us tomorrow at work?" She asked. "Yeah, sure." He smiled back at her. "Later guys!" She said as she closed the door.

"Hey Harry?" I asked as I walked towards the couch. "This is a stupid question, but... Why are you guys so close?" I sat next to him. "Oh, uh no problem. When we were 14 we were at her house and playing hide and seek and her home pone was ringing. She went to pick it up and it- it was a police officer. Her mom, brother and Dad had been in a car accident." Harry looked at the tv intently. "None of them survived. And my mom had disappeared a year later. Leaving my sister and I." He took a deep breath.

"Anything else?" He asked. "How'd your sister die." I looked blankly at him. "She- she got really sick. Nobody really knows." He wiped the tears from his eyes." I remembered my last thing. "Your dads in the Military, right?" I smiled. "Yeah. Oh my god- that's right!" He stood from the couch. "How did I forget?" He laughed. "He'll be here in a month." He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "No way, that's amazing Harry! I can't wait to meet him!" I was so excited for both of us. "Neither can I." He looked at me. "Wait, what? Harry, you've never met your dad?" I paused to look at him. "I'd never told you?" He looked back. My past came flooding in. My father had left when I was three. "Wait. Anna, am I missing something? Why are you crying?" He pulled me into his chest.

"Now it's my turn." He said, sitting me onto the couch. "Do you have any siblings?" He asked. "Nope." I smirked. "How did your parents meet?", "I don't know..?" I looked to the side. "Where's your dad." Was his last question. "I don't know." I looked him into the eyes. "He left." I sighed. "Oh, Anna... I didn't know."

"Harry, it's fine." I put my hand on his shoulder. "Can we go to bed, please." I smiled a bit. "Only if I can carry you." He laughed.

"Never!" I hopped from the couch and ran towards the hall before being scooped up bridal style into Harry's muscular arms. "Now we can go to bed." He looked at me and smiled, setting me carefully onto the bed. "Hurry styles!" I laughed at myself, accidentally making a joke. Harry jumped into bed beside me, brushing his cold feet on mine."Goodnight." He whispered, wrapping his arms around me. "Night babe." I kissed him and nuzzled under his chin.
