Gotta Be You

Extraordinharry Listener

I didn't know where to go, I didn't want to talk to my parents about it because that would be too awkward, Louis was with Cassidy and didn't feel like bothering them with my problems, and I had no one else to turn to. Niall came running after me shouting my name. I blocked him out. How could he do that to me, on my birthday! I hop into my new car and drive off not knowing where I'm going. Yes, Niall gave me the car, but I wasn't going to give up the car just because I'm done with Niall, I mean it's a Mercedes!

I look in my rear view mirror and see Niall's car right behind me. I pick up speed trying to put as much distance between us as I can. Fortunately for me, I aced my pre drivers test, so I was able to make the sharp turns. Unfortunately, I didn't take my real drivers test so I don't actually have a drivers license. I rush down a street praying that there are no cops anywhere around. Luckily, Niall gets a red light and I am able to speed right along.

Before I know it, I find myself at Harry Styles'house. I have no idea why. Maybe to let Niall know that he really hurt me. Niall and Harry hate each other ever since last year. Niall had just transferred here from Ireland, all the girls were fawning over him. Before that, Harry had been the only guy that had every girl knocking on his door. Anyway Niall and I started dating and decided to change up my look a little bit. I dropped my glasses, put on some makeup, and flat ironed my hair. Well, after that Harry started trying to get me to go out with him. It kinda drove Niall crazy, maybe that's why I'm here now. I may not look my best, with tear stained cheeks, no makeup, glasses, and my hair in its natural waves, but I came here anyway.

I walk up to Harry's door with tear stained cheeks. He opens the door and says, "Kimberly?"

I honestly have no idea why I'm here, but I have no where else to go. I just needed someone to talk to and I guess, although he wasn't best person, he was next/last on my list of people.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

I shake my head. I'm anything but okay.

"Come on in," he says gently.

I walk in and he guides me to the living room. His parents are out on a vacation or something which I'm grateful for, I didn't want to have to explain to them why I looked the way I did. I sat on the couch awkwardly. Harry went into the kitchen and came out a few minutes later with a cup of tea.

"Alright, you wanna tell me what's going on? You don't have to, I don't want to pry or anything, but you did come to me, so I'm guessing you wanted to talk or something," he says slowly.

I never knew Harry could be so gentle. He seemed like he was experienced with this kind of thing or something.

"I had a sister, Gemma, who went through this a lot, she's off in college now," said Harry, as if reading my mind.

I let out a few sniffles before taking a deep breath.

"I came here because I needed someone to talk to, but I didn't know who. Louis was with Cassidy and my parents were busy cleaning up, and Niall," I stopped a few tears streaming down my face, "Niall was kissing some other girl."

Harry nodded his head in understanding, but stayed silent as if waiting for me to continue. I decided to just let everything.

"Niall cheated on me. On my birthday too. I knew this would happen, once he became super famous lots of beautiful girls would be throwing themselves at him. He promised it would never happen, he only had me in his heart. He promised that after the incident with Alyssa, his songwriter, I would always come first in his career and in his heart. I knew he would break his promise, but there was always a sliver of hope that he wouldn't. And I most certainly did not think he would do it on my birthday!" I cry.

I stay silent for a moment and so does Harry.

"You know," I say, "I always thought, well, wished, you would be my first boyfriend."

I have no idea why I said that, but I just felt the need to.

"You know, I meant what I said on Facebook that one time. I did always have a little crush on you. Ever since that first day in kindergarten when I let you borrow some of my crayons," Harry says smiling.

"You remember that!" I gasp.

"Of course I do, it was the first time I really started to have feelings for you. I wanted to impress you so I had brought my extra special 54 pack that day," said Harry laughing.

I started laughing too. "I never thought you noticed me after that," I say honestly.

"Of course I did, I just didn't want you to know that I had a crush on you. You were always too good for me and I thought if I ever asked you out, you'd say no," said Harry.

I look into his eyes and can see that he's telling the truth. He really is handsome, I think to myself. He's beautiful green eyes are captivating, and his soft chestnut curls catch just about every girls' eyes.

He leans in a gives me a gentle kiss. I'm surprised at his gesture. My brain screamed "this is wrong! You're with Niall!" Wait a minute, no I'm not, he's a cheater. I continue to kiss Harry. When he pulls away, we both smile.

I end up staying for a few hours watching a movie with Harry. My phone has been going off like crazy. Calls from Niall and Louis. I'm surprised my parents haven't called yet, but Louis or Niall probably made up an excuse for me.

After 2 hours, I decide to leave. Harry walks me to the door.

"Thanks for letting me bother you with my problems," I say.

"It wasn't a bother at all," Harry responds, "I love spending time with you."

I blush a little bit and turn to exit, but Harry calls my name.

"Wait Kimberly, I was thinking um, is it maybe to late to ask you out sometime," said Harry nervously.

I was shocked, was my wish of dating Harry Styles really coming true?

I stared at him blankly before answering, "I'd love to go out with you sometime."

His face lit up like a Christmas tree, "great!" he said, "so maybe like Saturday at six we could go out for dinner or something."

"That would be great," I say with a smile, " I'll see you then."

I walk over to my car and drive off, thinking about everything that's happened today. Well, I think to myself, this will be s birthday I certainly won't forget.
