Waking Up To Reality (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 17: Explanations & Reasons

Allison's P.O.V.

"Liam James Payne, you're such a bad, bad boy. I've never seen this side of you." I hear the girl say.

"Well, I'm just a bad boy for you." He says. It was his voice. Yep, it was Liam. I just wanted to freaking punch him and slap him so bad, but decided not to because I didn't know what had happened. And I know where he lives, so no worries.

I decide to just stop thinking about what happened and go inside. I walk trying to find the snacks table. Once I see it, I see Anne worried. She's not doing anything with the snacks. Not eating them, not organizing them. Nothing. I walk over to her.

"Anne, are you okay?" I say. She looks at me and stands up and hugs me. She hugs a lot. It's nice.

"I was so worried about you. What happened with your friend?" She says and lets me go.

"Um, I honestly don't know what happened to her. And that's Vanessa. We live together." I say.

"Oh, that's Vanessa!" She says.

"Yeah, sorry you had to see her that way..." I say, apologizing for Vanessa.

"It's fine. Some people break down at the most unexpected places at the unexpected times." She says.

"Yeah... but, I still don't know anything about why she was like that." I tell Anne.

"Some people don't need a reason." She says.

"But, she's not some people. She never cries in front of people. She doesn't like it. And the way she was crying, there must be a reason behind that." I explain to her.

"Well, maybe she did have a reason if that's the case." She says.

"Most likely..." I say. Things were getting kinda awkward and Harry comes over to us. Thank the lord!

"Hey, baby." He says and kisses me on the cheek.

"Hey." I say.

"Um, how's everything going?" He asks us.

"Yeah, it's good. But, Vanessa left. She wasn't feeling good." I say to him.

"Aw, that's too bad." He says. "Hey, I need you to go talk to Gemma." He says to me.

"Why?" I ask her.

"I don't know, she just wants to get to know you better." He says.

"Alright. Where is she?" I ask him.

"She's in the other side of the room." He says. I say bye to Anne and go to Gemma. Harry stays talking to Anne. Probably about me...

I spot Gemma and go to her. "Hey, Harry said you wanted to talk to me?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah! Well, not really, but sure we can talk." She says and I sit down next to her.

"Alright. So, what do you wanna talk about?" I ask Gemma.

"I don't know. So, tell me about your life before. You know, before you were our neighbor..." She asks me.

"Well, there's not really much to tell. I lived back in a little island and that wasn't that exciting. Like, not many things happened back there." I start saying.

"I don't care about where you lived. Just tell me about you." She says.

"Okay, okay. So, my parents are divorced and I don't talk to my dad anymore. We had this fight and it all got so complicated. I just stopped talking to him. And if it wasn't for him, I would've never met Vanessa or Alice or Connor or Jack or Dylan or Luke or really none of my friends." I say, thinking about when I first met all of them.
