Ella's New 'Friend' (A Harry Styles fan fiction)

Chapter 28

Harry’s POV

“Harry! Time to get up!” I heard my mum yell.

“Ugh!” 

“Don’t make me come up there!” I just laid there hoping that she wouldn’t. 

“I don’t hear you Harry!” She yelled again. I then heard her coming up the stairs. Shit! I should probably get up. Oh well, I’m too lazy.

“Harry, darling, it is time to get up.”

“But, Mum. I just want to sleep.”

“Why don’t we make a deal?”

“You want to make a deal?” I asked sitting up.

“Yes.”

“Okay, what’s the deal?”

“We talk about why you suddenly decided to come home, then you can go back to sleep.  Sound like a deal?” I thought about it for a moment.  I guess it wouldn’t be a bad thing to tell my mum about Ella.  

“Deal.” I said shaking her hand.  She the climbed into bed and hugged me like old times. 

“Now, Harry, Why are you home?” I sighed then looked up at her.

“There’s this girl.” I began, she cut me off.

“Ahhh, A girl.” She said grinning at me.

“Mum, she is Liam’s step-sister. Her name is Annabella.  But everyone calls her Ella.” 

“Oh I see.  And what happened?”

“Well, we got into a fight and well she completely shut me out. Like she wont even look at me. Mum, this girl has become my world, and the fact that she wont even look at me is killing me.  I just couldn’t stand it anymore.  I need to come home and get my mind off things.” I told my mom, laying my head in her lap while she played with my hair.  It reminded me of old times, before girls, before the X-Factor, and before I left.  I miss it all.  I miss my old life, yet I love my new one.

“Honey,  do you love this girl?”

“Honestly mum?”

“Yes.”

“I may only be a teenage boy, but from what I know about love, I surely think I love her.”

“Go back, work things out with her.  Maybe things will get better.”

“I don’t know mum. I just don’t know.”

“Trust me honey.” She said standing up and kissing my forehead, 

“Now, go back to sleep.” She started to walk out, but then turned around. “Oh, and your phone has been going off all morning.” She said while throwing my phone at me.

“Thanks mum.” I said catching the phone.  She shut the door behind her and I looked at my phone.  I had 12 texts from Niall, 36 texts from Liam, 10 texts from Louis, 3 from Zayn, and 1 call from Ella?  Why would Ella call me?  I quickly went to my voicemail and clicked on Ella’s and listened.

“Harry,” Her voice sounded shaky. “It’s 7:30, I’m sure you’re asleep.  I’m sorry maybe I shouldn’t have called.” There was a moment of silence. “ I’m hiding in the bathroom, calling you.  You really didn’t need to know that.  Um.... Okay well I should tell you why I called.  Um.. Harry, I uh, I just. Hold on Zayn! No! I’m almost done just shut up!” She yelled. “Anyways, Harry, just know, I wish you would come back.” And with that the line went dead.  Does she really care about me?
