Niall Horan - June 8, 2013






The images flashed through my mind like an array. I've been getting these nightmares/flashbacks lately. I don't know what it meant but they're all of that night. The night that I should have been there to pick Hannah up. 





Harry Styles - June 8. 2013






Our annual high-school reunion was coming up and I really wanted to change up my look. I know it sounds stupid but I have looked the same for ten years and I'm currently 28. I really need a makeover. It would be embarrassing to have to call someone over so I decided against that.







I took a quick shower and ruffled my hair up a bit. My hair was naturally curly but I hated it. It was all fluffy and thick. I put in my contacts which I was against using because I always forgot to take them out. Change is good, Harry. You're successful now..







I was a doctor at the L.A. police department. One of those body analysts that you see on T.V.







I didn't really mind my job, considering I went to a few Medical schools for quite sometime.







I shook my hair once more and looked in the mirror. My once dark green eyes were now lighter with a hint of lively-ness. My hair, which was normally slicked back with a ton of gel, is now in its ugly, curly state. The reunion was tomorrow and I had the day off so I went out to go get some new clothes. 







I have no idea what made me want to change my look, but I'm glad I did. I suddenly had this epiphany that if I showed everyone at the reunion how successful I was and that I at least changed, maybe they will like me. 






I never worried about fitting in and I still don't. I just wanted to show those mean jerks who pushed me around, what Harry Styles now looks like. I called my second best friend from highschool -I only had her and Niall- and she used to be a huge nerd.







I dialed her number and she answered, "Harry? Is that you?" "Y-Yes.. Our highschool reunion is coming up and I wanted to see if you would go with me as my date?" I asked nervously. "Oh, I'm sorry Harry, I have a boyfriend... I'll see you there though."





She quickly hung up and I sighed putting the phone down on the receiver. If I wasn't good enough for her in High school, I'm obviously not good enough now. 







I laid on the bed awaiting for Niall to come home. It was quite boring without the little Irish lad doing whatever he did. Today was a busy day for him, none-the-less and I absentmindedly took the day off.





11:56 AM





I darted up out of bed as soon as I saw the time. It was already almost noon, how did I sleep through half of the day? I took a shower and ruffled up my hair. Some of my tattoos were visible but it didn't really matter.





I was dressed in a white v-neck, a blue plaid flannel, dark blue skinny jeans, and white converse. "Hey Harry have you seen--? Woah there..." Niall said tilting his head from side-to-side and rapidly blinking his eyes.





"You okay?" I laughed walking past him to the bathroom. "I've literally never seen ya like this, mate." He swallowed. "I know, I'm hot." I said flipping my curls. "Don't push it, Styles." Niall patted me on the back and nodded, approving of my 'new look'.





I brushed out my curls again and ruffled them once more. Silly, I know but at least it made me look better than I thought.







6:58 PM





I put on my black raybans as we walked across the street to our old High school. So many bad memories in the courtyard that I need to forget. "You okay?" Ni asked as we walked side by side. "Fine, just... I hated this school." He chuckled and nodded deeply gazing at our old brick walls.



I opened the door for him and he strutted in. I on the other hand just awkwardly took my sunglasses off and stuffed my hands in my pocket. "Harry?" "Is that Harry Styles?" "No! It can't be!" Gasps were heard amongst the crowd that semi-gathered around me.



"H--Harry?" Leila broke into the crowd forming around me and gasped as well. "Hi Leila, where's your boyfriend?" I asked. "I-don't-have-one..." She muttered. Figures she would lie. I scoffed and strode off to Niall.




"Having fun?" He asked. "We've only been here five minutes and everyone's already talking about me." I laughed. "I know, I told you looked nice." Niall smiles. I smiled back and nodded, "I guess I really wanted to change my appearance to show all these losers up." "You could look like that and probably get a date or two?" He suggested.

I didn't do this to get a date, I did this to show everyone up. 

After our speeches and dinner, half of the crowd rushed over to Niall and I or they just left. "Are you two successful?" "Well I'm a doctor--" A lot of girls swooned over me, God knows why... I am extremely awkward to be around but okay.

"I'm a detective and we need to go..." Niall said pulling my arm. "Harry, call us!" A bunch of girls chorused as Niall and I sped out of the reunion. "Why did we have to leave so early?" "Shauna texted. We have to go down to the station. Immediately."

I nodded understanding Shauna's orders. Sometimes she can get a little demanding, but it's all worth it if we catch the perps. "Maybe you could start looking like that all the time." Niall suggested as we got into his car. "Maybe." I shrugged.

It wouldn't hurt to go on a date. I haven't been on one since senior year in Highschool.

Niall and I drove off in the distance not knowing what they found back at the station.
