Stranded Together {editing} A Harry Styles Fanfic

Chapter 2- Island Day 1

I gathered a few logs and started a fire.

"So Harry, why do you always keep to yourself?" Sofia asked.

I paused for a few minutes to think about it. I never really opened up to anyone before, but it wasn't like I could just walk away. I was here with Sofia, one of the prettiest girls in school, and she seem genuinely interested. She inched closer to me. I wrapped my arm around her and she rested her head on my chest. Her body heat warmed me up, because all I had on was a light white tee-shirt, since I gave her my main shirt.

"I don't know. I guess after my dad died I never felt like I could get close to anyone. My mom always tried to get through to me but I never let her in," I admitted for the first time aloud. "You know I never told anyone that before," I added. I wanted her to know that I had a whole other side to me other than the bad boy reputation I had at school.

"You know you're a lot different than I expected," She said as if reading my mind. "And I've watched you from afar too," she said looking up at me. Her beautiful brown eyes glistening in the moonlight. It was the perfect time to kiss her, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on her after everything that happened with Ryan. "And, I have to tell you, I still remember back in middle school after your father passed, I tried to talk to you, but you shut me down," she said looking into my eyes.

"I do remember, and I wish back then I was man enough to let someone in. But I was just so frustrated and didn't give a shit about anything," I said, really opening up. "Maybe if I had, things would have been different for me, but then again, maybe not."

"Well I think you're really brave. I couldn't imagine losing one of my parents," she said. She started to yawn. "You know I usually fall asleep listening to music," She whispered.

"Well I'm not as good as a recording, but I can try," I told her. I started gently singing in her ear and moved the strands of hair from her face, tucking them behind her ears. After about 10 minutes she was fast asleep. I laid down next to her, closing my eyes and listening to the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks.
