Accidents Happen (Harry Styles)

Chapter 2

Harry and i sat on the beach for hours on end just talking about life... about everything! Even though i only just met him, i feel like i can trust him with my whole heart. Even though he doesn't say much about his life, i feel like i understand absolutely everything he tells me.

He tells me he is only in Australia for another 2 weeks, which i am disapointed about because i was hoping he had moved here. Harry makes me forget about all the fucked up shit that goes on at home. I tell him about my dad leaving me and my mum and not wanting to speak to me. I tell him about my mum's addiction to alcohol and i tell him i want to be a pro surfer. I have never told anyone any of these things. I have never opened up to anyone until now.

"Have you ever felt like you just want to run away form everything that you are sick of?" Harry asks.

"I know exactly how you feel! Thats why i come down here to the beach. I just come down here to clear my head and imagine a better life with none of this shit. This beach is like my safe haven." I say. 

"Atleast you have somewhere you can escape to and feel like you belong to it. I'm constantly moving around and i have no permanent place. I dont have a safe haven like you do." 

Harry hasnt told me what he does for a living but all i know is that he doesn't stay in one place for long. He also said that he just wnats to have a break from whatever he is doing. I look down at my watch and i gasp when i realise what time it is.

"Harry its 3am!" I giggle. I watch his face as i tell him the time and he quickly jumps to his feet. I can't help but notice some black ink on his arms as he jumps up.

"Oh shit! I have to get back!" He gasped. "It was really really nice to meet you and i wish we could do this again."

"Why don't we meet back here tomorrow night? And i promise we won't stay as late." I suggest.

"That's a fantastic idea! I'll meet you back here tomorrow night at 9?"

"It's a date." I can't help but smile. Harry is the only good thing in my life at the moment.

"Well, i'll see you tomorrow night then. Good bye Lily." He says with a wave and a big grin as he walks backwards and starts to run back along the beach to where ever he is staying.

"Bye Harry." I whisper under my breath as i watch him run along the dark beach. I can already feel myself build up with nervous butterflies for tomorrow night. Actually, i'm more excitied than anything. Harry is one of the most amazing people i've ever met and i just wish he wasn't leaving in two weeks.

I get up from the sand and pick up my board. I decide to walk home rather than ride, in no hurry to get back to reality. All the way home, i can't help but seeing those beautiful green eyes in my mind. As I reach my house, i climb over the back fence, not wanting to wake my mother up only to have another fight, which would be the biggest buzz kill in the world. I slide the back door open and creep into my bedroom. I get changed into my pj's and look at myself in the mirror.

I start to get all girly and think, 'Would Harry like my hair better up or down?' I play with my brown hair which is a tangled mess. I mentally slap myself in the face to even think Harry would ever be attracted to anyone like me.

I climb into bed and switch my light off. I close my eyes and go into a deep sleep, dreaming of a boy with green eyes and inked arms.
