THE BULLY: Harry Styles fanfic

Chapter 16

Harry's POV

_________

The minute we got home, I went up to my room. Not that I didn't miss the boys, but I just needed sometime to myself. I missed the alone time I used to have before Laura and I were left alone.. Not that I'm complaining. Anyway, I've been trying to play the guitar...actually I used to play the guitar 2 years back but I wasn't as interested in it so I stopped playing. Just recently, I watched many videos of YouTube singers playing the guitar and I kinda wanted to be like them... Niall could play the guitar too, but I didnt want him to teach me because he'll just end up getting distracted and start eating. I then took my guitar and laptop out and started going through the basic chords. I wasn't that good but I was trying. I knew all of my chords but I just needed to improve on them. After 15 minutes of strumming, I went onto google to search for some songs to play and sing to. Talking about singing, I like to sing but I'm not fantastic. My friends have heard me sing at school before (they sneaked up on me) and they said I was good.the results given to me on google was a list of basic songs. I decided to go with just the way you are by Bruno mars. I looked at the chords.... It was going to be tough at the start, but no harm trying right? I started getting used to the tune and beat and after an hour, I got the hang of it. It turned out to be better than I thought. You guys must be thinking why I'm learning songs and stuff.. Well, i dont know why too actually. I guess it's just for my leisure time or when I'm stressed. Anyway, summer break wasn't going to end in 2 months, and I'm happy. I continued strumming when I heard a knock on my door. "Umm... Can I come in?" It had to be Laura, knowing the fact that she was the only girl in the house. "Yeah, sure." I replied. She entered the room. I wonder what she was doing here.."oh,sorry was I disturbing what you were doing?" She asked looking at my guitar. "No, no not at all."

"Oh okay...anyway, Liam came to ask me to get you downstairs for some pizza..." She said, looking down at the floor with hair covering her face. "Hmm sure,I'll be right down just give me a sec." I said, putting my guitar and laptop aside. "I never knew you played the guitar."

"Well.. Actually I played it 2 years back but I stopped.. This time, I'm inspired to play again because I've been watching videos of singers and guitarists... And I wanna be like them in the future I guess..." Shit. Why did I just tell her that. I looked down and scratched my head. "Haha, that's cool. All the best on that." She said, giving me a smile.

We then went downstairs for some pizza...

Laura's POV

"Umm may I come in?" I asked. I was really reluctant to go ask him, but a part of me wanted to know what he was up to. I'm nosey, I know. "Yeah, sure." I entered the room and saw Harry on the bed with a guitar in his hands. Wait.. He plays the guitar? I never knew... I then asked him to come down for some pizza. "I didn't know you could play the guitar.." I said. " "Well.. Actually I played it 2 years back but I stopped.. This time, I'm inspired to play again because I've been watching videos of singers and guitarists... And I wanna be like them in the future I guess..." Wow this meant he could sing too...

We both then went downstairs for pizza..

The rest of the day was just plain boring. The boys slept as they were tired leaving me and Harry awake. I was in my room glued to my laptop when there was a knock on my door. "Hey, umm Laura, could I come in?" It was Harry. I got off my bed and opened the door forgetting that I was in my panties and just a long t-shirt over that stopped at mid thigh. "Hey, yeah sure.." I replied. He scanned my whole body the minute I opened the door. That made me remember what i was wearing. "Oh, dang I totally forgot. Give me one minute." I closed the door to change into something more presentable. He just stood there in his spot. I think he had the shock of his life. Having to see a gluten in front of his eyes... I guess it was like having 10 daggers stabbing both of his orbs. Ouch..i was so embarrassed. I couldn't face him anymore. Ughhh why did I forget...c'mon Laura, get a Hold of yourself. Don't feel self conscious. I opened the door and surprisingly, he was still standing there in a daze. "So...." I started. "Ohh umm could I come in..now?" He asked . Ding it. I just like making myself embarrassed do i. "Oh I'm so sorry yeah sure come in." Way to go Laura. He looked around my room and then sat on my bed casually. "So... That's your parents, you and Liam right?" He said pointing towards the photo frame that was neatly placed on my dresser. "Yea, it is..." Talking about my parents was a really hard topic for me. I hated talking about them because it brings back memories of when I was young and it also reminds me of how they got into that car crash. Till now, I still have not forgiven that reckless driver. I still have some guilt in me, for not spending enough time with them and not loving them like how they loved me. If only I could turn back time. If only I could foresee what was going to happen to them and save then when the time of tragedy came. If only I was the one who got knocked down. Besides, I was a pain in everyone's ass. It wouldn't make a difference to society if I was gone or not. No one would miss me anyway. By now, I was still gazing at the photo with tears at the brim of my eyes. "I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you about that photo I'm so terribly sorry." Harry apologized. "Nah it's ok. It happens all the time." I said, giving him a lob sided smile wiping my tears away. He just gave me a sympathetic smile as a response. "Anyway.. What did you wanna ask me? I mean, you came here for a reason right?"I asked, not trying to sound rude. "Oh, yeah. I was thinking, since y'know the boys are still asleep, we could go to the park for a walk,that's if you're free.. If not then I won't bother you..." Hmm... Should I say yes? What if i went and his gang was there? What if they bashed me up like they did the last time? Ugh Laura you idiot. Get yourself together. Go for it. Maybe this walk to the park will lead you both into having a closer relationship. Harry is a changed person. He wont hurt you. "Yea sure, lets get going then." I tied my hair into a top knot and we headed off to the park.
