Wish You Were Here - Harry Styles

Chapter 2.

VALERYS POV:

I slowly opened the door and closed it again. I looked in the front room and my dad was asleep. I creeped upstairs trying not to make a sound. As I didn't want to wait my dad up, I just wanted to get my stuff and leave without him noticing, without any beating.

I got to my room and packed a bag of clean clothes and slowly went down stairs again. I got to the bottom with the floor board creaked.

SHIT!

I looked at dad and he started to wake. I put my bag near the door and started to open it. But I wasn't quick enough as my dad stood in front of the door just before I went to open it and stopped me from going anywhere.

"Move!" I said harshly and regetting it straight away.

"Why? Where are you going?" He said nearly shouted like usual.

"I'm going round a friends" I said not wanting to say Harry's, he always thinks something is happening with us if I mention him.

"You going round that boy, Harry's again?!" He started shouted and I just nodded, knowing I couldn't lie to him, knowing he would find out the truth.

"You fucking slut, you're round his house every night nearly! I bet you fuck him every night for pleasure!" He shouted and tears started forming in my eyes, knowing this would come as he always insults him and I hate it.

"No!" I shouted wanting to prove that we aren't.

"What? Dont use that voice with me!" He shouted.

Grabbing my hair and pulled it, so I was facing him and close to him. I winced, grabbing his hand but he didn't budge. I screamed and tried to get his hands off my hair but they were too tight.

"Let go of me!" I whined.

"Fine!" He shouted and chucking me across the room and my back hit the wall.

I felt my head, bringing my hand back to my eyes and seeing blood running on my fingers.

Shit! What was Harry going to think?

"GO NOW! I don't want to see you!" He shouted and I quickly got my bag and run to Harry's with tears in my eyes and blood on my head and hand.

I didn't know what Harry would think when I turned up but I didn't want to stay any longer in that house, not after my dad making me bleed.

I knocked on his door and he answered with a smile as usual but it faded when he saw me with blood on my hand and tears running down my face.

"Valery, what's wrong?" He asked and pulled me into a tight hug. He felt the top of my head with his hand as he hugged me and saw it had blood on it. "Valery?" He asked looking at me worried, making more tear run down my face as I didn't know if he would believe me if I lied to him again.

I just hope he does.

"I-i hit my head" I said "I-it hurts so bad" I said and wiped my tears away.

"Come on, lets clean you up." He said and took my hand in his and took me to the kitchen.

He grabbed a cloth and ran it under the tap, getting it all wet. Ringing it out a little bit before he walked towards where I was sitting on one of the stools by the island. He placed the cloth on my head where it was bleeding, making me wince in pain.

"Ouch!" I said moving his hand with the cloth away from my head.

"Valery, I have to before it gets infected." He said and put it back on. I grabbed his other hand that was free in mine and sqeezed it tight because of the pain.

"You're so clumsy" He laughed.

Ok, so he believed me?! That's good right?

"Yeah" I said laughing a little as he put the cloth down on the counter.

"Come on, lets go watch a movie" He said as he helped me off the stool and we made our way up stairs, hands still entwined making my stomach do backflips. "What you wanna watch?" He asked, letting go of my hand making me frown a little as I sat down on his bed.

"I dont mind" I said as he looked at all the dvds.

He put one in the dvd player and then sat down on the bed next to me. Our backs resting against the head board, legs touching only slightly, though it still gave me butterflies.

"What we watching?" I asked and he gave me his cheeky smile.

"Guess?"

"Ermm.....Love actually?" I said, knowing straight away from his smile that he had put on his favourite film.

"How'd you know?" He asked, acting surprised.

"Because you're my best friend and you love this film." I said laughing, Harry joining in with me.

"Of course." He said, putting his arm around me as we watch the film.

Yes I definitly am in love with my best friend...

HARRY'S POV:

I love Valery. Yes as a best friend but I think I love her more than that too. She knows me more than anyone and we have such a laugh and she always makes me smile. But I've never told her I love her because I don't want to ruin our friendship, as it means too much to me. She means to much to me. Plus she probably doesn't even like me back.

I started to hear her muttering and I knew she was alseep. She always mutters in her sleep, I never thought she muttered important stuff just random words, so I've never bothered to listen properly. I kissed her forehead and put the cover over both of us as I watched the rest of the film with her in my arms.

We always have sleepovers, we just love spending time together. We have known eachother since we were born because of our mums, they use to be best friends, just like we are. Well, I don't know if they are still but since Valery's mum left for another man things havent been the same. She tries to act fine but I know she's not. She's good at hiding how she's feeling sometimes and I hate it. Especially because she hates when I worry about her so she tells me she's fine.

We're like her second family to her and she probably spends more time here then I do myself. I use to always go round her house and that use to be my second home but ever since that one night her mum left she would always stays at mine or she would make an excuse for me not to come round, I dont know why though? Maybe she's embarrassed about her family now that her mum has left but she should know I don't care. She's still the same old Valery to me. Her family wouldn't change that. I know what's happened, I'm not judging her.

She says my mum is like a second mum to her since hers left she always comes to my mum for advice, probably more than me lately.

Soon I found myself falling asleep as well.

*NEXT DAY*

I woke up as I felt no one beside me, making me open my eyes wide as Valery should be beside me.

"Morning" I heard My mums voice say at my door.

"Morning, where's Valery?" I asked

"She went home, her dad called her early this morning to go home" Mum said and I nodded.

I got up and had a shower and dressed for school, when I was drying my hair I got a text.
