HARRY
For the first Friday night ever Zayn was staying inside. That didn't keep him from bringing the party to him. I didn't feel like being hounded by drunken females.
Wow. I really had it bad.
Putting on my classic I put my hoodie on my head and laid on my bed. After Blondie texts me back I can get a little sleep. Although I haven't been sleeping more than four hours at a time, it was better than nothing.
When there was a knock at my door I put my pillow over my head and ignored it. They wouldn't give up.
" I'm sleeping!" I called.
More knocking.
Getting up I dragged my feet to the door. I swung it open and stared at a tall curly haired girl.
" Where's the bathroom?" she asked drunkingly.
" Down the hall."
" Oh I was hoping you'd invite me in..."
" Huh? Why? Never mind, goodnight. Go play with Zayn," I say slamming the door in her face. I was being too much of a jerk. I didn't mean to slam the door, okay I did, but now I felt bad about it. Hopefully I could apologize to her and get back to my music.
Swinging the door open again I nearly screamed. Corie stood there about to knock. The dumbest look was plastered on my face but I couldn't help it. Was this real? Am I dreaming?
She didn't say anything and neither did I.
" Cor..." she silenced me and flew into my arms kissing me deeply.The way she tasted, smelled, the way she felt in my arms. Damn I missed her so much.
She pulled away first, slowly. "Hey," she smiled.
" Hey." I say back. She rubs my face gently, wiping away tears. Am I crying?! I am. I don't care. "Cor I'm so sorry, for everything. There's nothing I can say to change what happened but I'm so sorry. I am."
" Ssh, it's okay Harry," she says holding my face between her hands.
I hug her tightly. This only happened in my dreams and still it was better. This time I pull away first holding her hands in between mine. "You don't know how much I missed you."
" I've missed you too Harry, a lot."
"I don't wanna jinx anything but what made you come here?"
" I found your text messages in April's phone. You care about me, don't you?"
" I'm in love with you Cor," I say meaning it.
" Good, cause I'm in love with you too."
●●●●●
" You changed your hair," I say rubbing my fingers through it.
" Yea, I'm a red head now."
" I like it a lot."
We were laying facing each other in pajama clothes while making small talk.
" Harry, what happened with you and my father?" There's the million dollar question.
" I kicked his ass."
" For me?"
" Of course. Why didn't you tell anyone you were going through that?"
" Well April knew, but I begged her not to say anything. It was embarrassing."
" You have nothing to be ashamed about Cor, it was all him."
" I know," she says holding my hand.
" I felt like I was going crazy without you. Nothing made sense to me."
" I know the feeling. Even starting the summer program didn't distract me."
"A whole new album couldn't take my mind off you."
She smiles and sits up. " I love how open you are with me now."
" I figured that's how I lost you the first time, not being honest. I wouldn't survive losing you again."
" Samesies. Can I ask you a question?"
" What is it?"
" Why didn't you tell me how you feel? I mean even before my incident..."
CORIE
I had driven over Harry's with April and hoped he was there. It was after all, Friday night.
When I got there they were having a party, well Zayn was.
" Long time, no see " he says hugging me.
" I know," I smile hugging him back.
After greeting Louis I go to find Harry leaving April with Niall.
Not sure what I was going to say to him but I wanted him to know I forgave him, for everything.
When his door swung open and he was standing there I was speechless at first.
He looked like he hadn't slept at all and his eyes were lifeless until he got a good look at me.
His kiss was everything I'd ever missed. We laid in his bed talking for about an hour and I appreciated his openness. It was different.
I wanted to know why he was afraid to admit how he felt in the beginning.
Laying on his chest as he played with my curls I listened to what he had to say.
" In England, before I joined the group there was this girl. Her name was Samantha. She was my first love and the only girl I had ever gotten close to. We made plans to marry and I thought why not we'd already been together for 3 years. Now I actually have the money to give her the wedding she deserved..."
" But?"
" Still impatient huh?" I can actually hear him smiling. "But she had gotten pregnant..."
My heart stopped.
" Her conception date was when I was on tour for the first album, so yea she cheated on me. The first girl I ever trusted told me she was cheating through the entire relationship. After that it was hard getting close to any female so I didn't try. They only wanted one thing anyway, to say they'd been with Harry Styles. We were using each other."
" What do you want now?" I ask holding my breath.
" I was going to wait for a better time to ask, but I want you to be with me Cor. Just you and I, no one else. I hadn't been intimate with anyone since you and I don't want to. And I don't want you to think this is about sex. I just want to hold you for the rest of my life," he confesses kissing my forehead.
" Harry I want to be with you too, but I want to take it slow. I got hurt last time because things moved too fast..."
" I would never hurt you like that again."
" And I believe you, but let's just take it slow."
"Okay."
