Not So Normal <AU Harry Styles> (In Heavy Works)

I

Alright, so this was origionally my first fanfiction I ever wrote but it sucked so bad I had to make some major changes and rewrite the whole thing. I'm sorry if you liked it the way it was before, but I'm the author so...haha. Please let me know if it still sucks I'll apologize even more. Also, just this once I'm leaving the first chapter up at the very end of this one, just to show how stupid I was. Enjoy.

"Scout, you are not going outside. Look," My mother pointed outside the window to the pouring rain. "it's dangerous."

I rolled my eyes, shrugging my coat on. I didn't care in the slightest. I was going outside whether she liked it or not. I was nearly an adult, the least she could do was acknowlege that. I mean, sure, I was insane in the head and had a 'mild form of every mental disorder under the sun' as my father put it. But still, I knew what was wrong with me and took it upon myself to do whatever the hell I wanted just to piss my parents off.

So I went outside with my navy blue  satchel over my shoulder and pencil tucked behind one ear. I was drenched by the time I was down the driveway. Still, I didn't care.

Walking down the cobble stone road of Ringwood, a nearly nonexistant dot in England. It was a small town I lived in with my parents with virtually nothing in it but run down flats, old houses, a market, a park, the smallest hospital there ever was, and a school where everyone from a fetus to nearly collage age went.

It was an understantement that I was bored there. I was dying there.

I was trugging through the cold rain, lips probably blue and trembling, to the park. My boots were soaked through leaving freezing pools of muddy water in my socks, and my plain brown hair was stringy and sticking to my face. I spit out a strand that had found it's way into my mouth, grimacing as thunder rolled around in the sky.

The weather wasn't extremely unordinary, nothing out of the blue about it. I had never seen the light of day to be honest, it just rained all the time. But this rain seemed off to me. Somthing about it just...didn't settle with me. The rain seemed...I didn't know exactly. I couldn't tell if the water was cold or warm when I really paid attention to it, and the gray clouds didn't just seem gray. They were almost a strange shade of purple if I squinted. Even the air didn't smell like rain. It didn't have a scent at all if I breathed deeply.

I frowned to myself, holding my satchel to my chest, trying my best to keep it dry. I arrived to a ginnel, or an alley way if you prefer to call it that, and hurried in. It was dry, due to the overhang of the two house's roofs meeting together in the middle. At last, I would sit down and just think to myself.

That's the only thing I ever did. I would just think about things and write after I was done thinking. Or seeing.

Sitting down on an old bin that was a sturdy enough plastic that could sustain my weight of a wopping 92 pounds, I leaned back against the brick wall and listened.

The rain had gotten lighter, yet the pitter patter of it's drops against the pavement still remained audible. A few cars passed, spraying the water on the streets every direction. I could hear the thunder roll through again, what sounded like a thousand kettle drums being pounded on in the sky. A mewl of a cat sounded to my left, and I looked down to see just that. A cat. A very wet cat to be specific, with short brown hair that was matted with dirt. I smiled gently, letting it smell my fingertips before it deemed me worthy of it's touch. It pushed it's face into my palm, closing it's eyes.

"You filthy thing..." I sighed, talking more to myself than the animal that sat to my side. The cat's eyes opened, but something was different. It actually looked like it was offended, to sound completely healthy in the head. I frowned down at it in confusion for a few moments before a shiver ran down my spine.
