Driving to Nowhere

Chapter 17 ~Driving to Nowhere~

Chapter 17:

It was 5:30 and everyone should start arriving around 6:00. Harry, Liam, Gemma, Anne and I were dressing nice to go to a "nice dinner." Harry was in a nice button up blue shirt and I was in a periwinkle (A/N it says perrie lol) high-low dress with black gladiator sandals. My toes were painted and matched my nails, blue polish that coincidentally matched Harry's shirt. My hair was curled and the brown waves hung at my hips.

"Harry babe? You ready to go?" I knocked on his door to his room.

It's been about a month and a half that I have been staying with them. It's been weird pretty much living here but I had to go home soon. My dad had probably noticed I have been gone. He most likely didn't care. I cared for my dad but now I was starting to realize, he didn't love me. He cared for his alcohol and nothing else. Harry and I have been working on and searching information about my moms murder. It makes me upset, but it helps to know I could put my thoughts to rest.

"Yeah! Come in!" I slowly opened the door. I didn't want to see him without pants. It's awkward, it's not like I've known him forever. I feel like I have, but this month feels like a year. I've been through so much with him. And it's crazy. I love him and I barely know him. I know him well but I haven't known him for a long time. (A/N I'm sorry if the grammar is bad lol)

I walked in the room and he had his shirt on and was holding something behind his back.

"Harry? What are you hiding?" I was curious. He seemed full of secrets but he told me everything... I think.

"I thought I would get you a little something." He gave me a genuine, Harry ,cheeky, Styles smile.

"But Harry it's your birthday not mine."

"Exactly, that's why I bought you something is because I wanted to ask you something else today. I'm saving it for tonight though." He taunted me with devious looks of excitement during the car ride. Obviously he wasn't driving, so we say in the back together with me in the middle, harry and Liam at my sides, and Gemma and Anne in the front. We pulled up in front of the catering place and all the cars were parked around the back. There were a LOT of people, more people than I expected, like 70-80 people. Luckily, at the last minute I ordered 10 more pizzas for people who wanted more thank one piece, which would be a lot. There were so many cousins who looked like Harry in pictures at his house I was scared to meet them all.

My hand felt its way to Harry's large hand and he escorted me out of the car.

"Where are we? I thought-," we opened the door letting him walk in first.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone smiled with huge dimples like Harry's.

Before harry could say anything 3 boys along with Liam have him a group hug and they all shouted in unison,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZ!" Haz? I guess it was a nickname. Harry was wide eyed and a wide smile crawled acrossed his face.

He turned to me and embraced me in a warm hug.

"Thank you," he whispered sweetly.

"Faith, this is Niall," pointing to the blond.

"Nice to meet ya." He had a thick Irish accent. It was really funny actually, I've never heard an Irish accent before.

"Hi," I smiled sweetly and waved.

"That's zayn." Zayn had a dark quiff and waved at me. He seemed shy. But he was really cute! I had Harry though, I wasn't shopping.

"And this is Louis!" Louis gave me a toothy grin and was filled with energy. He seemed funny, just like Harry.

"Hi, I'm faith." I stood next to Harry as the boys talked about wanting their careers to take off. Then as they got into deep conversation Harry pulled me towards the back of the party room. I was nervous. I didn't know if he had to tell me something or thought it was too loud and couldn't hear himself ask where the bathroom was.

"Haz?" I laughed. "Is that your nickname?" I played with his hands.

"Uh, yeah." He seemed a little embarrassed.

There was a small, weird silence between us.

"Um Faith? I told you I had to ask you something. And so I am going to ask you now." He seemed a bit nervous.

"Okay?" I was open to whatever he had to say. Anything at all.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a small box.

"Faith Olivia Parker? Will you-"
