Chasing Pavements.

Chapter 25

*Harry's POV*

As the journey continued we have all discussed the change in the world today, from what it was like when my dad was a kid. We discussed me as a baby, Katie laughed throughout the numerous stories that my dad told of me. Even showed some baby photos on his phone when we stopped at the service stations.

Katie's phone was still going off. Was she not answering it for a reason now. I have noticed a few times, that she was pulling it out her pocket probably checking who it was and then she would shut it back off again. I swear if anyone is giving her shit I'll...

"So Harry, how's school, or haven't you found a new one yet?" My dads loud manly voice interrupted my thoughts, filling the car.

I noticed that while the topic was on me, Katie checked her phone. I looked over her shoulder and quickly read the text. It was a text from Ruby.

Shit you couldn't be here baby. It's not the same without you. I hope you have a good time. Rachel said bring her a souvenir back, lol. This party is boring without you baby, Reece keeps asking where you are, he's drunk, so we told him you're was with Harry and he started crying, K, he likes you. A lot. Niall and Rachel on the other hand, they've been talking and flirting all night, it's cute, they daren't kiss each other because they are in denial about how they feel, like they won't tell each other. But Reece claims he loves you.

Would he have fucked her? The feeling makes me feel sick. Ruby could be a cunt sometimes.
I hated the fact her and Katie were best friends and she has much more knowledge on her than I do. That pisses me off. Ruby pisses me off. Stop texting Katie, she's mine.

I wanted to see what she would reply about Reece, but my dad snapped me from my thoughts and I realised how jealous and pathetic I was being. Pft I don't care if she texts, talks to or even fucks boys, ha.

"Harry?" My dads voice was raised slightly. Even causing Katie to look up.

"Oh erm I'm back into the shitty college, it's not that good but I'm only there for a few more months then I can move back here." I told my father.

"You do know you only think it's not so good is because you got kicked out, right?" Katie argued. What?

"No. It was shit anyway!" My dad noticed the tension between us, I can't even remember why we were arguing again...

...the kiss right. Yeah we need to talk about that but I'm not sure if I'm ready. My dad quickly changed the subject so me and Katie would stop bickering at each other.

"Haz, what are your plans for tonight, me and Kim are having a lazy night. You can either come with us and have a drink, or do your own thing in the apartment but only in the apartment? Completely up to you." He said finally pulling into the estate where the blocks of apartments filled the ground space.

"I think, well I don't know yet, I'll decide later, but for now just like, staying in."

"Ok, well, Kim is going to let you's in the security bit then we are gunna head straight out and get some snacks for our lazy night. Make sure you get food, and don't be up at daft o'clock in the morning like you were with Joe." He pulled up into the parking lot.

Katie and I stepped out the car together and made our way to the boot of the car. I reached for Katie's bags and she didn't even acknowledge my kind gesture, took the bags from my hand and thanked my dad for the ride.

"Thank you, Mr. Styles." She said really politely only to get laughed at in her face. Her cheeks grew every shade of red and pink mixed.

"Please Katie, call me Andrew, or Andy, I prefer Andy." He kept laughing. Katie gave a fair smile and nodded, walking into the building.

She said hello to Kim and she said hello too. I could tell these were all going to get a long.

After we climbed the stairs with what felt like forever we finally reached one of my dads room, his has two rooms on this floor, because ones mine, therefore I went into the one that was mine. I dumped mine and Katie dumped her stuff and I decided to have it out with her now, before this weekend was over before it started.

"Katie, what is wrong with you?" I asked.

"Nothing, just maybe well I don't know, the fact we kiss all the time and then you completely act like it was normal, but you know it's not because we're not together, then there is that question that I ask myself, why aren't we together if we keep kissing like the way we do, you know what I mean, the feeling of fire burning at the sensation. That feeling. Then I ask myself, what does he want from me, you haven't actually told me, you kiss me the carry on. Don't carry on. Let's talk about it. Because it plays on my mind all day long, every day. And...it hurts because, because I fucking love you."

"I love you too. More than anything. More than anyone. I'm not just saying this because you feel like shit, I'm saying this because I mean it. The amount of times I've been wanting to tell you how I feel, well I've lost count. I just love you Katie. You make me a better person."

"You are just saying that." She looked down at the floor with a disappointed look on her face.

I moved closer to her, taking her in my arms, reassuring her with silence, before I spoke up, "I love you. I love you a lot." I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too."
