When I wake up... You will be here

Chapter 18

Together 

Harry's P.O.V.

Emma and I were walking down the street, letting the afternoon sun in our skin warmed us. The sky was tinged with orange and the wind was cool. We left the movie theater, where I had held her hand all the time and now that I wasn't anymore, I felt empty.

The golden light of the sun reflected in Emma's emerald eyes. Her sweet laughter in the air, reaction to my words. I smiled back and for a moment I thought... Really is so bad if I would take her hand at 'public'? Do I really care if they invent a rumor just to hold her hand? And if they do ... Would I mind? The answer is obvious, I would not mind.

I look at Emma from the corner of my eye. She had half a smile in her pink lips. Without hesitation, I took her hand, not caring at all of what people would say. She squeezed my hand, in a reflex action. I started to make circles with my thumb into her palm. I look at her and she gives me a shy smile.

"You'll get in trouble?" She asked in a whisper.

"I don't care beautiful." I said and kissed her forehead.

When I went back to the apartment he shared with Lou everyone was there. His eyes fell upon my accusers. Niall walked to me, took my arm and almost dragged me to the couch in front of the television. In the news were photos and photos of Emma and me together, as the girl of the news spoke.

All eyes were staring at the screen while listening to the girl talking. I paid no attention to the girl. I only stare at the photos one after another, watching Emma and her sweet and shy, but shinny, smile. 

My phone vibrated in my pocket ... A message from Emma.

"Did you see the news? This is totally crazy!"

I smiled. 

"Yea... You look beautiful in the screen."

"Harry... That's not the point. Do not I will get you in trouble?"

"You care? I don't. It was a wonderful afternoon"

"Yea, I can't deny it... And no, I do not care"

"Soooo... What is the problem?"

I frown and sated at my phone's screen, waiting. 

"That the entire world thinks something that's not true"

And the reality hit me like a bucket of cold water when you sleep. I do not mind that they think that, contrarily, but... What if she minds? My heart squeeze in my chest, shrugging. I felt like all the world came over my shoulders. I gulped and hesitate a bit before typing my replay.

"It bothers you?"

"No, really no"

I let out the breath I have been holding, without noticing. On my lips appeared a smile. She did not mind. I sighed with relief and my smile widened when I realized that for the world we were together ... It is not true but it's something, right?

"I will pick you off from school tomorrow... Good night beautiful" The eyes of the boys went over me. I smile at them and shrugged. 

"Good night Harry. Ps: I think that it will be better if you don't get out of your car this time. ;)"

I laughed.

"Okay Styles tell us what happened ... And do not miss a detail" said Eleanor. The interrogation began and something told me that this was going to be a long night...

Emma's P.O.V.

Harry and I had gone in dates several times. He had kissed me a few times. The truth was that we seem like boyfriends but we were not. We were friends but at the same time we were something more. It was weird. Logan had told me several times that I shouldn't grown too fond for Harry, which will may me damaged, that I was swinging on a tightrope.

But when he warned me, it was too late. I was with Harry all day stamped on my mind. He had gotten under my skin, to the bottom of my soul. I did not even have excuses to go and see him and his smile dazzled me. He has become my own drug. I needed him, wanted him with me all day.

When he sang softly to me, and just for me, I felt that I touched the heaven with my fingertips. I felt that his scent intoxicated me and was jealous ... Jealous of the all the pretty girls around him.

I sighed as I got the last books in my backpack. 

"Today I will not go to the practice ... You can go if you want but I think it would be useless." Logan words repeated in my mind over again.

I end of putting my stuff in my locker. There was no one at the school. Except for some teachers and a few students in detention. I closed my locker with a slam and give a small leap of scare when I saw him by my side.

"Hey babe." He said trying not to laugh.

"Harry, don't you ever escape me like that." I made a moue.

He laughed and hugged me, and then gives a little kiss on my forehead. I wrapped my arms around him, burying my face in his chest, breathing in his scent...
