Resist (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter Seventeen

HARRY'S POV

Abby's brother thought we were dating. I wish... I wish.

But she invited me to go meet her family and spend time with her in Holmes Chapel, was I that friend-zoned?

ABBY'S POV

Oh god why did I invite him? Why do I have to put myself in a position to get hurt again? What if I really do like him? What if the wall I've built up tall and strong was torn down by some boy that I met less than a week ago? Some handsome, sweet, protective, dreamy, tall, muscular- shut up Abby!

Harry and I stood up to leave when the waiter stops me at the door and hands me a piece of paper and smiles.

I read the paper. 'Heard you were single, call me sometime.' Then he wrote his number. Harry saw it and gritted his teeth on the way to the car. Before I reached to door I threw the piece of paper in the trash. Harry smirked and I smiled at him.

"Did you enjoy your self?" He asks and puts his hand over mine.

"I did, I've never laughed so hard with anyone else." I couldn't help myself from smiling.

"Well I have one more surprise for you." He smiles and drives into an empty park. It was dark.

He laid a blanket on the grass and laid down on it. He patted the space next to him. I laid down a foot away from him and look up. I gasp. The stars were so prominent.

HARRY'S POV

Why was Abby so far away from me? I didn't like it.

"The stars are so.... breathtaking." She beams.

"Like you." I look over at her and see her face turn read. "I know you would like this part."

"How?" She asks.

"We both took astronomy junior year. I sat a couple rows back. You always seemed so intrigued by it. You would always ask questions." I say smiling, remembering how she would stare off with her wandering eyes but wouldn't be zoned out. She would be thinking of whatever the topic was. Some reason I knew that.

She doesn't say anything but scoots right next to me.

"Are you cold?" I ask her.

"A bit."

"You want my jacket out of the car?" I ask her.

She shakes her head. I frown. "But you could.. Um." She bites her lip. I laugh at her and face towards her and put my arm around her waist and pull her into my chest. "That's better." She snuggles her head in the space between my chest and neck.

No matter how long I've wanted to be with her, no matter how much I wanted to be with her, I knew it would never happen. She's just being nice to me and flirting with me because I'm protecting her, but Ill take what I can get. She was so incredibly beautiful and even though other people didnt see it, she was so innocent. She wouldn't hurt a fly. It's hard to look at someone and KNOW that you love them but also know, that they will never love you back.

I am in love with Abigail Tomlinson. I couldn't tell her. I can't make her feel guilty.

ABBY'S POV

When Harry pulled me to him warmth ran down my body. He made me feel so comfortable and safe. I wish I had noticed him in school. Nothing with Adam would have happened. I could trust people. I wouldn't be running away from my ex boyfriend who wants to kill me. I needed to stop lying to myself, I'm in love with Harry.

I couldn't tell him that ever. I can't get hurt again. And I can't hurt him... ever.

"We should get going." He says snapping out of his deep thought and snapping me out of mine.

"Yeah." I say. I get up and face Harry. "Thank you. Tonight was amazing." I say and get on my toes. I rest my hands on his shoulders and peck him on the lips. He blushes.

"No, thank you." He smiles and drives us back to his house.
