Not Alone For Long

Chapter 11

Cat's POV

"What did you just say?" I questioned Harry as I tried to calm my breathing down after choking on my drink. Usually, someone would welcome a friend with open arms but I was so used to being treated like rubbish that I wasn't used to someone actually wanting to spend time with me and that shocked me.

"I just said that's what friends are for, I mean we ARE friends right?" He had taken a seat across from me with Gemma by the window talking with Jen who sat across from her. Confusion played on his face as his eyes widen a little bit with what like like sorrow. "Unless you don't want to be friends with me-"

"No no no, it's not that," I cut him off,

"It's just usually people don't want to. And, I don't know, I just don't understand why you would want to be my friend," I shrugged a bit, it was a nervous habit I had.

"Cat why wouldn't I want to be friends with you. You're probably the nicest person I have ever met," he took hold on my hand that was on the table causing me to jump a little.

"Okay Harry," I sighed. So that's it then I guess we are friends. It was weird thinking about it. Someone actually wanted to talk to me,to get to know me, to spend time with me for once. It made me smile.

"We better get going now though, I don't want her to be late to school," Harry stated as he began to tickle the little girls sides causing laughter to erupt from her mouth. She squirmed under the table and to our side to get away from him.

"Alright little ones shall we go?" I made my way out from the booth and waited for the girls to hop off before exiting the cafè.

I got Jen into the car and sure enough when I started, it didn't turn on. It was out of gas. I slammed the stirring wheel in frustration. Of course this had to happen to me.

"What's wrong?" Harry came over to my side of the car.

"It's dead, out of gas," I sighed. If I waited it would probably take at least an hour for the repair guy to come and help me.

"Well why don't you call someone and I could give you a ride while its being fixed. I don't mind." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Are you sure I don't want to insist," I grabbed my phone after he nodded and called the repair guy. A short discussion with him later we were ready to go.

"He said he'd drop it off at my house when he got it running I have him my address and everything but of course it was going to cost extra," I explained to Harry as I buckled Jen into the back of his range rover before taking my seat in the front.

"No problem, we are going the same way any who so it doesn't bother me at all," his smile was genuine and warm causing me to blush. Why couldn't everyone be this nice to me?

•••••

We had dropped the girls off at their school an now were on our way to ours. At first, the car ride was awkward between us but as soon as Harry turned on the radio that changed.

We both started singing to Maroon 5 and just talking. It was nice I had to admit but of course it didn't last long as we pulled into the school.

Kiera was standing right next to her car which of course Harry's parking space was next to. This wasn't going to end well for me.

"What the hell is SHE doing with you!" Kiera stormed over to us, high heels clicking against the tarmac.

"I was just giving her a ride," Harry sighed, running his hands threw this hair. He was upset.

"I don't know why you would give that worthless piece of shit a ride!" Kiera stormed over to me and glared at me.

"ENOUGH! She is NOT worthless and if I find you picking on her again, your gonna be sorry!" Harry yelled. Now Kiera and Harry were face to face. Anger surging between them.

"Was that a threat Styles?" Her hands were balled up at her sides. She looked like she was going to slap him.

Oh if she hits him, I will beat her to a pulp I don care what anyone says or what the consequences might be, I thought to myself.

"It will be if you continue to annoy her, now come on Cat we don't have to deal with this bullshit right now!" Harry took my hand in his and began to drag me away from a now fuming Kiera.

I gave her a smirk and waved at her innocently, which caused her to dig her hands into her hair and pull in frustration.

And that was victory enough for me.
