Half a Heart

Chapter 5

Aria's Pov

Today has been the best day of my life. All these years I have felt feelings for Harry that I never told anybody. I thought that if I didn't tell anyone how I felt that maybe the feelings would go away. Not that I didn't want Harry to be my boyfriend because I did, but I never in a million years (bse reference haha) thought that the feelings between us would be mutual. Why would he like a girl like me? I'm Aria Connors, the girl who listens to music to much and doesn't go out enough. Harry is, Harry Styles. Wow, what a great description. Just his name sounds perfect. He is talented, kind, and not to mention he's gorgeous. He makes me feel like I'm not just boring old me. He see's something special in me that not even I can see in myself. I don't know what it is but he knows it's there and I am eternally grateful for that. (Did that sound creepy omg) I love him. More than anything. It might sound crazy, I'm only 16 but when you love someone you know and I don't think there is an age limit for feelings.

"Aria, are you hungry?" Harry questioned interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah, I could eat." I said giggling.

I was to caught up in my thoughts and Harry to remember how hungry I actually was.

"Do you want to go into town and eat out, or do you want to make something?" Harry asked.

"Pizza sounds really good." I said

"Oh my gosh, it does. Let's go know!" Harry said standing up.

I stood up and put my shoes on. I looked up at Harry and he was already looking at me. I smiled blushing and he smiled back his cheeks turning red.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yep!" I replied.

Harry opened the door and grabbed my hand. I looked down at our hands and smiled and then looked back up at him. He smiled at me and said, "I love you so much Aria."

"I love you too, Harry." I said squeezing his hand just a little bit tighter.

Aria's Pov (Still)

We walked into the Pizza Parlor (is that spelled right lol?) and my mouth began watering. Our hands still intertwined perfectly. It was like our hands were made to hold each other. Nothing has ever felt so right then this moment. Right now, being here with him. We stepped in line behind about 2 other people. Harry let go of my hand and I frowned my hand feeling cold without his. But he immediately wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I smiled again. It was our turn at the register.

The lady smiled at us and said, "What can I get for you guys today?"

"Ummm, we'd like a large cheese and pepperoni pizza with Two medium drinks." Harry replied.

I have to say I'm proud of him for knowing my order. That's what a good boyfriend is. One who knows what kind of pizza you like.

She handed us our cups and said, "Go ahead and take a seat, your food will be out shortly."

We walked over to the pop machine and we got out drinks and sat down at booth across from each other. I smiled at him enjoying this moment with him right now.
The waitress walked over to us with a tray of our pizza and set it down.
"Enjoy your meal!" She said.
"Thank you." Harry and I replied.
-------------------------------------------------------
We finished our pizza and walked out of the shop.
"We can walk you home now if you're ready." Harry said smiling grabbing my hand.
"Yeah that's fine." I said looking down at our hands blushing.
"Aria, I'm so happy you're my girlfriend." Harry said.
"I couldn't be happier either." I said looking at him and smiling.
We walked until we got to my house and I saw that my Mom wasn't home. Which was weird. She usually doesn't work this late. I will call her when I get inside. We walked up to the door still holding hands.
"Aria, today has been the best day of my life. Not only because you're my girlfriend now although that's pretty awesome too. But because I got to spend the day with you. And I love you so much." Harry said.

"Harry, I love you more than you will ever know. Through all the crap I've been through with my dad, you never left my side and I'm so grateful for that and you. And the thought of you being my boyfriend is crazy because I've had a crush on you for the longest time. Today was amazing and I'm happy to spend the rest of my days with you just like this one. I love you" I replied.
Harry unlocked our hands and wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. We stayed like this as long as we could enjoying our time together. It was the best choice I ever made. All I've ever wanted to do is hold him the way I am right now and I finally can.

We let go of each other and he pulled me in and rest his hands on my cheeks and kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight Aria, I love you very much." Harry said.
"I love you you more." I said smiling.
"Do you see the stars up in the sky?" Harry said pointing at the night sky.
"Yes." I answered.
"The amount I love I have for you in my heart," He said grabbing my hand and placing it on his chest. "Is larger that the distance from here into that galaxy of stars and back." Harry said.

"I don't know how I can beat that but I love you just as much or more than you love me I promise. Let's not be cheesy babe. The only way to describe it is that I love you more than Pizza." I said giggling.

"Dang I think you beat me." Harry said laughing.

"I love you so much, goodnight." I said cupping his cheeks with my hands.

" Goodnight, love." Harry said smiling.

I watched him walk down my front steps into the night.

"Be safe! Call me when you get home!!" I yelled.

"Okay, mom!" Harry replied.

I smiled looking up at the stars.
