Fallen Too Far

Chapter 12

I shut the front door quietly and let out a breath, my stomach still dancing from what had just happened. I pushed those thoughts away and quietly walked up to my bedroom. Praying no one would be awake.

I shut my bedroom door, when I turned around I jumped.

"Have a good time?" Talia smirked, sitting cross legged on my bed, a magazine in front of her and a smirk on her face.

"Why are you up?" I asked, walking towards the bed. I've been in my pajama's the whole time.

"I heard you talking earlier and woke up as soon as you left.." She said, still smirking.

"Oh."

"So? How was that lil kiss?" She smirked, I blushed madly, pulling the blankets over my head.

"Shut up!" She just laughed at me.

"You enjoyed it."

And then we went to bed.

"I'm going to miss you a lot" I whispered in my best friends neck, as we finished loading her bags in the Cabs trunk.

"I'll see you on Christmas" She whimpered, hugging me back.

"That's in nearly 2 months" I said, pulling away, wiping my tears away.

"Well have a lot of fun so the time flies" She joked, I gave her the best smile I could before I noticed Harry walking over, with Lou?

"Nice meeting you boys" She said, giving Harry a quick hug and then working her way to Lou, he muttered something to her, making her blush. I looked at Harry who was smiling at me. But then I remembered something.

"Wait Talia!" I said, she turned to me

"Yeah?"

"Come here, I need to ask you something" Harry then grew a knowing look making me blush.

I pulled her to the side, and spoke quietly to her.

"Did you and Louis have sex?" She nearly choked on that, and I giggled.

"Um.. No. We were going to, very close to it. But then that person smashed the party and he brought me to you." She was telling the truth. I could read her like a book and she wasn't lying.

"Oh okay." I said, she pulled me into one last hug.

"I'll see you soon" She said, opening the door and getting inside.

"See you soon" I whispered, even though she had already drove away. But then right away, I had a text from her.

Bestfraaand : Don't forget that outfit you're wearing to school tomorrow :*

I was hoping she forgot about that.

Charlotte : Dang you remembered! I will :*

I put my phone away and the 3 of us awkwardly stood there.

"Well I gotta go" Louis announced, before scampering away.

Harry and I.

Again.

I felt weird, knowing he'd seen those pictures of me. And him calling me "beautiful" was not what I expecting. Especially from him.

"So, I take it.. You asked her?" He asked, snapping me from my thoughts. I giggled, thinking about what she'd recently said to me.

"They didn't.. Almost.. But didn't" I replied, smiling.

I felt awkward, because I was still in my pajamas.

"How do you put a belly button ring in?" He randomly asked, I narrowed my brows at him.

"Do you actually want to know? Or are you thinking of a way to not leave?" I smirked, he just laughed.

"Both?" He replied innocently, I blushed slightly..

"How about, I got inside, shower, change and all that. Then I'll come over?" I offered him, he nodded his head.

"Sounds good" I began walking away but stopped.

"Coffee better be on when I'm there" I smirked at him, he just winked at me before crossing the street.

I finished my hair and checked myself out.. This was one of the many outfits that we'd bought. I wasn't used to dressing like this, but I'm not going to complain anymore..

"Where are you going?" I froze when my mothers voice stopped me at the door. "And what are you wearing?"

Crap.

"Heey mom I-"

"Courtney, did you know.." My dads voice caught her attention and I took that opportunity so sneak off and literally run across the street.

I knew my mum would walk out on the deck to see where I went so I let myself in Harry's house. Anne's car wasn't home.

"Mom? Is that you?" I heard his voice call, from the kitchen I think.

"It's me" I replied, walking over to the room he was in.

When he saw me he laughed,

"Or just let yourself in" He smirked, making it obvious he was checking out my outfit, biting his lip.

"I was hiding from my mother" I shot back at him. He nodded his head before coming over to me, handing me a cup of coffee I asked for.

"You look incredibly sexy" The old me would've ran away crying at that comment. But the girl Talia was working on, held her ground and let it go.

A compliment every now and again wouldn't hurt.

I followed him up the stairs to his bedroom, that I've only been inside once. I looked around, not getting the chance the first time because I was so insecure about every time.

"You have a guitar?" I asked, putting my cup down and walking over to it.

"It was my sisters" He muttered, laying himself on the bed.

"You have a sister?" I asked, smiling at him. He looked down,

"Umm.. Yeah.."

"What's she like?" I asked, wanting to know more.

I took a bold move and sat on him. His eyes widened to this, clearly not expecting it at all. But I was testing him.

"That's a story for another day" He smirked, tracing circles on my hips. I was cautious about this and tried to relax.

It's not like he was raping me.
