Wish You Were Here - Harry Styles

Chapter 1.

I'm Valery Smith and my best friend is Harry Styles. We have known eachother since we were little because our mums were best friends and we have always been there for eachother. Especially since my mum left, Harry was the only one I seemed to have.

My mum left for another man and Harry was there for me as well as his mum and sister. They are like my second family. I'm glad I have them because after my mum left my dad started to get difficult, he would abuse me every night. However, I never told Harry and I dont plan on it ether. I don't want to break my family up as much as it is already even if it is just me and my dad now. So instead I just take the beating. Some nights I get away from it because I stay at Harry's but another nights are a nightmare.

Well that's one thing I hide from everyone but its harder than I thought it would be. Especially since Harry notices the bruises and cuts all the time as he is a very observant person. Meaning I have to lie to him but luckily for me he is naïve sometimes, making him believe me. Well I think he does anyway.

The other thing I hide from Harry is that I'm absolutely, deeply, in love with my best friend, Harry Styles. Well, how couldn't I be. He's the most handsome person I know and that's not even half of it. He makes me smile and laugh so much and is so caring and cheeky. I love him for who he is and I wouldn't change a thing about him. However, I know he will never feel the same about me, so that's why I'm hiding it from him. I don't want to ruin our friendship because it means to much to me. I know he only loves me as a best friend, maybe even a sister.

"Harry come on we're going to be late!" I shouted up the stairs of his house as I stood in my uniform at the bottom where Anne had let me, while she stood in the kitchen making a tea.

"Coming!" He shouted back.

We always walk to school together but Harry takes forever that you would think he was the girl and not me.

"Finally" I sighed as he came running down the stairs, jumping the last two steps and landing on two feet.

"Bye mum!" He shouted, swinging his bag over his shoulder and pulling me towards the door.

"Bye Anne!" I shouted, just as we reached the door.

"Bye you too!" She shouted back just before the door slammed shut.

We ran out side and started walking fast to school as Harry had made us nearly late once again.

"Whats that?" Harry asked as we catched up with my walking speed, but I slowed down a bit now because we were early at school as I now saw it in my view.

"What?" I asked confused but I knew exactly what he was talking about, the cut on my cheek or maybe the bruises on my arm as I had forgot to roll down my sleeves.

"The bruises on your arm and the cut on your face?" He asked sounding worried.

"Oh, that I fell down the stairs last night" I said laughing slightly. "You know how clumsy I am, Anyway, see you at lunch." I rushed, walking off to my other friend Frankie.

"Hey girl" She said as she hugged me.

I looked over her shoulder and saw Harry laughing with his mates, I hope he believes me about falling down the stairs because I never want to see that smile leaving his face, especially because of me.

"Hey" I said pulling away from the hug. I

I decided to roll down my sleeves, stopping anyone else from asking about my bruises.

"So what we got first?" I asked, wanting to just forget about Harry asking about my bruises again.

"Maths" Frankie sighed.

"Oh great" I sighed as we started walking towards maths.

I had most of my classes with Harry and only a couple with Frankie but I didn't mind to be honest. As long as I had one of them, I was fine.

******************

"Hey" Harry said as he walked up behind me at the front gates, the meeting point we wait for each other everyday after school.

"Hey" I said and hugged him tight.

"You want to sleep over tonight?"

"Yea sure" I answered as we starting walking back home.

When I say walking, its mean racing and pushing each other around.

"Hey, I need to get a change of clothes. I will be back in a minute." I said as we reached Harry's house, only realising I didn't have anything to change into.

"I'll come with you." He said, starting to walk across the street to my house.

I started shaking my head quickly making him look at me with raised eyebrows.

"No, I'll be fine." I said pushing him towards his house as I started running to mine before he could say anything else.
