Friend Zoned.

Chapter 1 - 2003, Pinkie Promise.

This is no ordinary story, oh no it's not. This is the story of two children, Harry Styles and Esme Jones, these two children were destine for each other even though they would never believe it.  Their parents are best friends which set them up to be each others best friends aswel but little did any of them know where that would lead. Let's start when Esme was 7 and Harry was 9. It was 2003 in summer where our story starts. 

*2003*

The sun shone down on the Jones' household, Harry and Esme were at the end of the long garden playing in their not-so-top-secret hiding place, their parents by the barbecue, James Jones and Des Styles both with a beer in their hands cooking the meat

"They'll grow up and fall in love" Des told James as they both chuckled to themselfs making Anne Cox and Sandra Jones both smile and shake their heads and rolled their eyes at their husbands attitude. 

Esme and Harry both sat on the carpeted house with fairy lights hanging from the walls

"What do you think they're laughing about?" Esme asked Harry as they both peered over the window

"probably an old persons joke" Esme laughed and agreed

"They're always laughing!" Harry stated as they both layed down next to each other

"I know maybe they're talking about us" Esme wondered before they both burst out laughing

"No way unless it's something good because we're awesome" Harry stated as they high fived

"Ohh yeah!" Esme posed as Harry laughed at his best friend. 

"Esme promise me something?" Harry asked Esme who rolled over facing Harry

"Sure what is it?" She asked at the small boy who smiled showing his dimples

"That no matter what happens we'll be best friends forever? That you'll never leave me?" Harry asked as Esme smiled and nodded

"Of course! I pinkie prommise" Esme stated as she held out her pinkie, linking it with Harry's. 

"Kids  dinner" James yelled to the small children who climbed down the ladder and ran over to the food, grabbing as much as they could before running back to the small wooden house.

"That's their first date right there" Des nudged James who laughed

"Yeah like they havent had millions of them" James replied as all of them laughed once again

"Come on they wont fall in love! They're too close" Anne told the men who gave her a questioning look, they all sat around a small table outside

"We're being serious! Esme will be worried about ruining the friendship" Sandra pointed her chicken at the men before eating it with pride.

"So who will be your first kiss?" Esme asked Harry as she continued to take small bites out of her burger

"I don't know will you be mine?" Harry asked sheepishly as Esme chuckled

"Of course!" Esme called cheerily as Harry smiled at her showing his dimples

"Dimples!" Esme yelled jaumping ontop of Harry prodding at his dimples

"Really?" He asked as she laughed and continued to poke them making both of them laugh.

"You know maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if they fell for each other" Anne chuckled as Sandra wondered

"They are cute" She shrugged as Des and James high fived

"What did we say?" They asked as they all looked at their children play fighting together in the small house in awe.

***

The stary sky came over the house as Des and James started a small bonfire

"Harry Esme come here" Anne yelled as the children ran over to their parents

"What are we doing?" Esme asked as Sandra came out with Marsh mellows crackers and chocolate sauce

"We're making Smores!" She told them as they both jumped up and down grabbing a stick and placing a marsh mellow on the end. Running over to the bonfire they started to roast their marsh mellows

"I love smores" Harry told Esme who rolled her eyes

"I know Harry" She told him obviously as he laughed

"Shut up know it all" He poked his tongue out at Esme before they both ran back to their parents who skillfully put chocolate sauce on the cracker and pulled the marsh mellow on top before handing it back to their children. 

"Harry do you love Esme?" Des asked his son as James chuckled whilst Sandra playfully hit James

"ew no! Girls have cooties!" Harry told him disgusted making the parents all laugh

"Say's the boy who has dents in his face when he smiles" Esme replied jetting out her hip which made the parents laugh again

"What so you don't love Harry Esme?" James asked as Esme shook her head

"No! He's my best friend!" She stated as they both put their arms around each other and took a bite of their smores, just as Anne took a photo of them.

*Present time*

Esme looked at the photo of her and Harry when they were younger and chuckled at the memory, little did she know when she was that age what the rest of her life would bring, and just how wonderful it will be.
