8 Things-Harry Styles

Chapter One

Evelyn's Point of View:
I messed around with the bottom of my tank top as we pulled over. Sophia had a huge grin on her face, and I couldn't blame her. We finally arrived at her boyfriend's house for his birthday. She hadn't seen him in months, so it was obvious to say that she was excited to see him. I had met Liam and his family plenty of times, but I was nervous to meet the rest of the band and his friends.

Sophia got out of the car and started walking to the front door. I followed her lead and got to the door at the same time that Liam answered. Sophia jumped into his arms and he kissed her with so much intensity. I cleared my throat and the two pulled away. Liam set Sophia back down on the ground and pulled me into a tight embrace. He asked me, "How are you feeling Ev?"

"I've been much better, but not much else I can do Li," I responded and pulled back from the hug. Liam gave me a sad smile and took my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

I smiled back and asked, "Would you mind introducing me to someone to talk to?"

He nodded and took Sophia's hand. We went through the hall into the living room where there were four other men and one woman. Liam introduced, "This is Evelyn. Evelyn this is Andy, Louis, Zayn, Perrie, and Niall."

There was a chorus of hellos and I smiled. Perrie came over to Sophia and hugged her. She then came over to me and hugged me. Once she pulled back, she responded, "It's so nice to finally meet you. Liam and Sophia speak so highly of you. You are gorgeous by the way."

I blushed and thanked her. I smiled and replied, "The two lovebirds also speak highly of you."

We laughed and sat down at the island that separates the kitchen from the living room. After about a half an hour of getting to know one another, Zayn came up behind Perrie and hugged her. I smiled at the pair and introduced, "Hi Zayn. I'm Evelyn."

He stuck out his hand and I shook it. He replied with a smile, "It's great to meet you Evelyn."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Liam called out, "It's open Haz!"

I heard the door open and close and in came Liam's final bandmate. Sophia had shown me who all of the band members were before today, obviously, but this was the first time I was seeing any of them in person. I knew this was Harry Styles; as he was the only band member who wasn't here when I got here.

Sophia hadn't shown me recent picture of Harry and I'm disappointed that she hadn't. Because Harry Styles was incredibly handsome. He walked over to Liam and I took notice to his appearance. He was wearing black skinny jeans and an off white shirt buttoned to the middle of his chest, open enough so you could see the tattoos on his collarbone. His chocolate brown hair was not as curly as it was in the pictures that Sophia had shown me and it was shoulder length, but he made it look good.

Liam motioned for me to stand up and come over by him. I got there just as Liam and Harry were finishing up their hug. Liam introduced, "Haz, this is Evelyn. Ev, this is Harry."

My eyes met his gorgeous emerald green eyes and I stuck out my hand and he took it. I opened my mouth to say something, but Harry beat me to it by saying with a warm smile, "It's lovely to meet you Evelyn."

"You as well," I replied with a smile. We let go of each other's hands and I noticed that Liam had gone back to sit by Sophia, Perrie, and Zayn. I smiled at how happy Sophia was and I faintly heard Harry say something. I looked back at him and asked, "What was that?"

"I asked if you would like something to drink? I was going to get something for myself as well," he repeated.

I blushed and responded, "Sure. But I know where the drinks are, so I'll just come along."

We walked into the kitchen together and he opened the fridge. He asked, "What would you li-. Wait, here you go."

I had a look of confusion on my face and Harry faced me and closed the fridge with his foot. He held out a bottle with a note on it towards me and I took it. I read the note: For Ev only.

I pulled the note off the bottle and laughed. This time, Harry had the confusion on his face. I held the bottle toward him and he started to chuckle. I replied, "Leave it to Liam to buy me Firewhiskey."

I put the note back on the Firewhiskey still in the fridge and Harry and I walked back into the living room. We sat down on two of the arm chairs that were still empty and he asked, "So you like Harry Potter?"

I nodded and asked, "Is it obvious?"

He noticed my Deathly Hallows necklace and responded with a chuckle, "Just a bit."

I smiled and we started talking about Harry Potter for a good 20 minutes. After the Harry Potter conversation, we started getting to know one another in general. Harry asked, "How do you know Liam? I've never seen you before."

"I'm actually Sophia's friend. She introduced me to Liam when they started dating," I explained.

By the end of the night, I think he knew almost as much about me as Liam did. Before we both left, I decided to come out with it and say it, "Would you want to try something Harry Potter related with me sometime?"

He smiled at me and asked, "We wouldn't be eating Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans would we?"

I laughed and replied, "I can't even do that. I'm too scared."

We laughed and he asked, "What would you like me to do that's Harry Potter related?"

I looked at him and asked, "Would you like to try to watch all eight movies with me in one day?"

"That sounds like fun. Sure. When?" he asked.

"I hadn't planned that far, but we could talk and figure that out," I suggested.

He nodded and handed me his phone. I then handed him mine and we exchanged numbers. It reached midnight and I started to get tired. I went over to Sophia and asked her, "Can you bring me back to your place?"

Her eyes softened as she knew why and nodded. She pecked Liam's cheek and told him she'd be back. As Sophia and I were driving to her house, she started, "So you spent a lot of time with Harry tonight."

I nodded and blushed, glad that she couldn't see my face in the dark. I decided to tell her, "He told me that he might help me with number seven."

"Did you tell him?" she gasped.

"No! If we get that close, then I will, but I just met him. He's just going to watch all eight movies in one day with me. That's all he knows," I sighed.

I hugged her when she pulled up to her apartment, grabbed my bag from the backseat, and went inside. I saw her drive back to Liam's and I smiled and shook my head. I got into my pajamas, brushed my teeth, took my medication, and got the futon set for me to sleep. I put in my second favorite movie, A Walk to Remember, and watched it until I couldn't stay awake.
