The Only Exception - Paramore

You Found Me- The Fray

We got back to the house and all the boys cars were gone, all except for Liam's. Me and Stella walked through the door finding Liam knocked out on the couch, so we both tiptoed into the kitchen.

"Well i guess you should stay with me, at least until you find a new place." I whispered, she looked at me concerned for a few seconds before opening her mouth to speak and then closing it again. "It's fine, you know" I said rubbing her shoulder, she nodded weakly and came over to me hugging me. "Thank you" She murmured into my chest. "No problem, you can sleep in my room and i'll sleep on the couch, sound good," I whisper shouted,

"Harry, i can't take your bed, it's nice enough that your letting me stay here but i can't sleep in you bed," She said sympathetically,

"Stella," I paused, looking into her eyes, "It's fine" She looked to the floor and didn't speak again. I poured us both some tea and we both drank it in silence, partly because we didn't want to wake Liam and partly because we were both tired and just needed some quiet time. When finished i showed Stella to my room and the ensuite, as she went to take a shower i put fresh sheets on the bed, so it wouldn't smell like nice sweaty me, and then got out one of my t-shirts and tracky pants for her to change into. She opened the door slightly asking for a towel and i laughed, passing her a towel and the clothes i had gotten for her. She walked out a few minutes later whilst i was tidying my messy room, only wearing the shirt, i looked up hesitantly and looked away around the room. "Harry?, i hope you don't mind me just wearing my undies and the shirt, its just the pants were huge on me," She smiled, making me smile. I nodded, about to leave when i was stopped, "Goodnight Harry," I waved slightly replying with, "Goodnight Stella." as i took one more step i heard her whisper 'thank you' under her breath, i kept walking as she didn't know that i heard, with a grin on my face.

I set myself up on the couch, with a sheet and the couch pillows. I switched the lights off and tucked myself in but getting to sleep was a struggle. I kept waking and thinking about everything, the past, the present and the future but it all seemed a blur except for tonight which was crystal clear. So clear and vivid that it almost felt real. I closed my eyes and lay awake for what felt like hours, trying to get my brain to turn off and at some point i fell asleep but i don't remember. 

Stella's P.O.V.

I woke up reasonably early to the sound of silence. I crawled out of bed, suddenly realizing where i was, Harry's place. It almost didn't feel real, last night. I walked over to the window pulling open the curtains and yawning. The sky was grey and the ground was moist outside, just the way i liked the sky. I loved the rain, most people loved summer but for me the most blissful season was winter, where you could feel the wind and the rain on your skin, where you could fully understand and immerse yourself in nature. I just loved it, and i didn't care what other people thought about it.

I found my way to the bathroom looking in the mirror at myself. I didn't like the way i looked. I wasn't skinny, nor busty or even slightly pretty. A scrunched my hair a couple times trying to make it look kind of okay and then settled for the side parted mess i woke up with. I rinsed my face of all the oil that built up on my skin as i slept and looked at myself one more time. I'm not sure if i felt confident with Harry seeing me without makeup on but i really had no other choice. If he couldn't handle a bare faced Stella then he never could have a chance with me. I smoothed the t shirt i was wearing taking a deep sigh and turning for the door.

Just as i opened the door i bumped into one of the boys in Harry's band, the quiffed one with not as many tattoos, i think his name was Liam.

"Oh sorry" He apologized looking confused at me,

"I'm sorry it was my fault, your Liam right," I asked trying to start a conversation,

"Yeh im Liam, " He still looked puzzled as he offered his hand for me to shake,

"I'm uuuu... Stella," I replied shyly, shaking it softly,

"Your Stella, the Stella," He said, raising his eyebrows,

"I guess i am," I smiled gently,

"Ohh umm nice to meet you then,"

" thanks, you too," i smiled,

"So what exactly are you doing here," He asked,

"I um, Harry is letting me stay here for a bit, i kinda lost my house," I looked at the ground, "So what exactly are you doing here," I asked him,

"Well," he laughed, "i honestly just needed to take a dump," He smiled warmly, "but if your wondering why i'm in the apartment it was because i was here last night with the boys and we were a bit worried about where Harry went so i waited behind but i guess i kinda fell asleep."

"Right," I laughed, "Here," I said moving out of the way so he could get through to the toilet, he nodded and smiled with a 'thanks'. I got out of the doorway and made my way out of the bedroom and down the narrow halfway, looking at all the picture frames as i went along. There was so many photos of Harry's friends, family and the boys, well at least i assumed so. There was one which my eyes were instantly drawn to, a picture of Harry, as a child, wearing what seems to be his mothers bra. I smirked, laughing lightly as i stood in awe of how happy he seemed. I traced my finger across the frames as a paced gently down the hallway. I was never really a happy child and my parents didn't like to hang pictures up much. My mother said that it ruined the appearance and design of the space. However i prefered places like this where it felt homely and like family. Family was supposed to be the most important thing right? 

Lost in thoughts i felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, as they grabbed me and rubbed with their thumb softly. I closed my eyes and smiled, knowing it was Harry. 

"Morning" He said hugging me from behind, he had the best morning voice. I turned, only to find a half naked boy in his jocks. I sighed, 

"Harry, put some clothes on," You both laughed as he nodded, "What," He replied, "Don't like what you see, ha?" He questioned, smiling and tensing to make his already present six pack even more existent. I looked him up and down, not replying but instead turning teasingly, standing up tall and holding my head up high as i began to walk slowly down the hallway, making sure to pop my chest out and sway my hips in a sexy kind of way. I felt his eyes burning against my skin as i turned the corner giving him one last look, he was staring intensly at me as i bit my lip, damn i wasn't good at this whole tease act but anyway he was falling for it. I walked around the corner, out of his view as i pulled the ugliest face i could, with double chins. I could hear him coming and i got ready for his reaction. He came around and saw the face i pulled at him and reached for me, starting to tickle me. I squealed as he picked me up swinging me around. Placing me down and whispering to me, "Your so cheeky", I looked into his eyes as we stood there for a moment, out of breathe before i broke the silence with, "You hungry". He smiled and nodded.
