8 Things-Harry Styles

Chapter Five

Evelyn's Point of View:

After my date with Harry, we continued to go out. Like, as a couple. We haven't even kissed which surprises me, considering his reputation in the celebrity and gossip world. We haven't made anything official, but I'm not sure if I would want to or not. I know what their fans are like. I've seen what they do to Sophia. They find out her address and send her hate mail. They send her hate on social media. When she's in public, with or without Liam, they find ways to insult her. I'm not sure if I want that, especially with my cancer making me weaker than I was.

My phone rang and I went to the island in my kitchen to answer it. I wiped the flour on my jeans and answered it, "Hello?"

"Hello love," Harry greeted and I could hear the smile in his voice.

I put him on speaker and I continued to make my cookie dough. I asked, "What's up Haz?"

"Well, you know our tour is starting up again."

"Mhm," I hummed.

"I wanted you to come to the first concert here in London."

"You'll have to let me know when it is so I can make sure that I'll be there."

"It's next weekend and I want to be able to look to the side of the stage and see your beautiful face."

I blushed and told him, "I'll make sure I'm there."

"Great."

We continued talking for a while and he told me, "There's a carnival going on starting tomorrow. Would you want to go with me?"

"Sure," I said with a smile. "Are you going to win me a teddy bear?"

"Of course love," I could hear the smile in his voice again. "I'll pick you up at 6."

"Sounds like a plan."

There was a few seconds of silence, like he wanted to say something, but then decided against it and said, "Bye Evie."

"Bye Haz," I finished and he hung up. A few seconds later, my timer went off and I pulled my cookies out of the oven. I chuckled to myself, "Perfect timing."

For the carnival the next day, I wore skinny jeans and a magenta v-neck with some Chuck Taylor high tops. Harry knocked on my door and I came out into the hall. He took my hand and kissed my cheek. We walked out to his car and he drove us to the carnival. We got there and the first thing we did was the ring toss. Neither of us won and we walked away hand-in-hand. I commented, "I think it's rigged."

Harry squeezed my hand and chuckled, "Calm down Evie."

I smiled and he pulled me over to a dart throwing game. We both won small prizes and I saw a little girl who didn't win anything and I crouched down to her height. I told her, "This is for you love."

Her eyes widened at the little black bear I was holding out for her to take. I told her, "I saw you weren't winning, so I won this for you."

She looked at her mom and her mom nodded for her to take it. She cautiously took it and then gave it a hug. Her mom took her hand and the little girl waved goodbye to me. I turned back around to Harry and saw that he had given his bear away as well. He hugged me and whispered, "Why are you so amazing?"

"Because I want other people to feel good," I commented.

Harry pulled out of the hug and joked, "You weren't supposed to comment anything about that. I was trying to be romantic."
