Unexpected Love *a Harry Styles fanfic*

Chapter 1

Penelope's Point Of View

I flipped through the pages in my text book looking for answers for this worksheet. I was sitting in the library since it's the quietest place in the school and it's lunch time so I wouldn't want to be in the lunchroom trying to work. The door opened and a few pairs of feet shuffled in. I felt eyes staring in the side of my head and it made me shift uncomfortably. I closed my textbook and put it in my bag with one swift movement and I got up throwing my bag over my shoulder. I grabbed my binder and started walking towards the door with the feeling of the person staring again. I walked out of the library and into the hallway where it was loud and crowded. I pushed past people and made my way out to the parking lot.

"Leaving so soon?" I heard a voice ask, causing me to stop in my tracks.

"Uh..." I trailed off.

"Uh, uh. Look girls she's at a lost for words." She said and walked over with her group of 'friends'. They circled me like a shark circles their prey. I held my binder close. "Why you leaving?" She asked popping her gum.

"Uh." Was all I could make out before I was pushed to the ground causing my glasses to fall off and my papers to fly out of my binder. I grabbed my glasses and put them on. I tried to get up but they pushed me back down. Right now I was beyond terrified.

"Cat got your tongue?" She asked before punching me in my face.

"Gemma, leave her alone." I heard a raspy voice say. She rolled her eyes and her and her friends left. I scrambled to my feet and started grabbing the papers. A hand reached out with my papers. I looked at the out stretched hand. "Here you go, love." He said. I took them cautiously.

"T-thanks." I stuttered shoving the papers in my binder and grabbed my bag off the ground. I started walking towards the bus stop. But feet were following me.

"If you need to go somewhere I can take you." He said. I stopped and turned to him.

"And why would you want to do that? I'm a nobody that your sister just punched." I said and turned on my heels to walk away but he lightly grabbed my arm. I winced.

"Sorry. Look if you don't want a ride, fine." He said and walked away. I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. I got on the bus and sat in a seat. People were staring at me strangely. I think it's because of the bruise forming on my cheek. I sunk in my seat and waited for my stop. When it stopped I hurriedly got off the bus and walked home. A lump formed in my throat as soon as I saw the familiar BMW that belongs to my mom. Why is she home? I hesitantly walked inside.

"Penelope? What are you doing home so early?" My mom asked with a sinister smile forming on her face. My eyes went wide as I saw. She stood up from her sitting position and walked over to me kind of wobbly, signaling she is drunk. I sighed preparing for the beating that was about to come. "I-I asked you a question!" She yelled. I couldn't flinch or she'd throw the bottle at me.

"I-uh, forgot something this morning." I said. Even in her drunken state she new I was lying. She chucked the bottle at me but I didn't move quick enough that it hit me in my face and shattered. I of course have cuts all over my face. She walked over and slapped me.

"There's no lying in this house, little girl. You should know that." She grinned. She spat in my face. "When I wake up from sleeping, you better have gone back to school." She said and plopped down on the couch. You see, we're rich because of my dad working with some huge corporation, my mom works with him, but is also a person who drinks way too much.

"Yes, ma'am." I breathed out. I scrambled off the floor grabbing my stuff and I made my way to the stairs  and I went up them two at a time and I walked into my room and walked to the bathroom. I got all the glass out of my hair and cleaned the stench out of my hair and just threw a pull over hoodie on. I grabbed my bag and binder and left back out of the house. I sped walked down the street and I was almost to the bus stop when I heard a car horn. I looked over as the window to the passenger seat rolled down. I saw the guy from earlier in the driver's seat.

"Hop in, it's about to pour down rain." He said. I sighed but got in anyways. He rolled the window up as I got in and buckled up. "Do you want to get back to school?" He asked with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on shift gear thing.

"Not really." I mumbled. All I saw out of my peripheral vision is him nodding. I sighed not knowing what to think. He pulled into a parking lot. I looked and saw a park.

"We're not staying here, I want to take you somewhere else." He said. I nodded and we got out of the car and I followed him to this nice little cabin.

"You aren't going to kill me are you?" I asked. He chuckled a throaty chuckle.

"No." He said. We walked in. "Just hang out here until the rain dies down." He said shutting the door. We took our shoes off and sat on the couch. "I don't mean to pry, but what happened to your cheek and chin?" He asked running his thumbs over them. I flinched and he retreated his hand. "Sorry." He said. "But seriously what happened?" He asked.

"How did you know it was me walking?" I asked.

"Don't answer my question with a question." He snarled. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"I uh fell in my room." I said. He didn't bother to pry on about.

"Okay, come here." He said. I slowly got up and went to him. He pulled me onto his lap. I looked at him. He lifted his shirt a little bit and wiped the blood off my chin. I thought I got that all? I looked at him. He looked at me and kissed my cheek. I looked at him. "S-sorry." He said.

"It's okay." I said. "What's your name anyways?" I asked.

"Harry. Harry Styles." He said.

"P-" He cut me off.

"You're Penelope." He said.

"Y-yeah." I said.

We spent a few hours getting to know each other and right now I was sitting my room watching television. My mom wasn't home, thank god. Dad was home though. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep just thinking about today.
