The Boy In The Beanie (Fetus Harry Styles)

I Need You Like You Need Me

The room automatically fills with "awe's",except for a few preps sitting in the back they just stare as if we're a couple of ugly mutts but for once I don't mind them watching me. For once I don't care who's watching, or how many people are watching. Right now the only person I see is Harry.

The only sound I hear is the word "yes" roll off my tongue.

A huge smile instantly appears on Harry's face and he hugs me then Mrs. Alm interrupts the hug and says,"I'm happy for you two but remember, no PDA."

"Sorry ma'am." says Harry before turning to look at me and whispering "later, love. later."

As soon as we leave the classroom and head outside for our break Harry grabs hold of my hand and intwines our fingers. When we wait for Aria at the bench we always meet at, he puts his arm around me.

I see Harry giving a dirty look to every guy that walks past us, even the teachers.

"Harry, you don't have to be protective, don't worry you're the only boy that likes me."

"Are you kidding?!" he exclaims,"From the first moment I saw you I had a crush on you so don't let any of these jokers fool you."

"You did?" I ask.

"Yah, I did. I liked that you weren't like the other girls who were loud and rude."

"Thanks."

"You always seemed calm, nervous and shy on the outside, but deep down you seemed calm." He says leaning in and rubbing the tip of his nose against my cheek.

"You also seem to know what's important, I like that." he continues.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"The way you care about Aria, I can tell that you truly care about her and that you know your friendship with her is one of the most important relationships you'll ever have with anyone." He says.

"I do care about Aria, she can be a hand full sometimes but I know she's a genuinely good friend."

"What about me?" he asks, "What do you see in me?"

I think for a little bit and finally say,

"I see a boy who is talented but not boastful, kind hearted and genuine, imaginative but real, funny and sensitive, and beautiful inside and out, but most of all, I see myself and everything I want to be."

"But you're you and that's all you need." he says.

I look him in the eyes and say,
"I need you more than you think, Harry."

"And I need you like you need me." He says.

I check my phone when I get to my locker after school and I have a text from Aria that reads,

"I left after first period, wasn't feeling well and the nurse sent me home so obviously I won't be coming with you today."

I reply by saying,

"Oh that explains why you weren't in class today I'm sorry that you're not feeling good I hope you get well soon."

"Hey." says Harry taking my backpack from me.

"You don't have to hold that for me, besides I was just about to head out to wait for my stepmom anyway."

"Yes, I kinda' do that's part of being a boyfriend."

Hearing him say that gives me this weird feeling that sends a smile to my face.

"And I can walk it over to your car I'm not in a rush."

"Don't you have a bus to catch?" I ask.

"Nope."

"Isn't your sister or mom waiting to pick you up then?"

"No."

"Then how do you get home?"

"I ride my bike." he says.

"Wait. Was that how you got to my house everyday after school?"

"Yah it's actually not that far, I could walk to your house."

"Do you live up three houses from me?" I ask.

"Yah that's us." he says with a grin.

"I saw the UHAUL truck in front of that house but I didn't know that you lived there why didn't you tell me?!" I exclaim.

"I don't know, it never came up." he says with a shrug.

"When things like this don't come up you bring them up!"

"Sorry. I didn't know you cared so much."

He's giving me that smirk of his.

"Well now that I know there's no way I'm letting you ride your bike home."

"It's fine, really."

"No. I won't allow it c'mon my stepmom's here."

"Are you sure she's ok with it?" he asks.

"Just say hello and she'll love you, remember it's all in the accent darling." I say mimicking his voice.

Harry goes and grabs his bike, I help him put it in the trunk of the car and we hop in. My stepmom greets him with a smile and it grows as soon as Harry introduces himself. I guess it is all in the accent.

"So you're Eden's classmate, Harry?" asks my stepmom.

Harry clears his throat and says,
"Boyfriend."

"Ohh really? Since when? I haven't heard about this yet." she says looking at me surprised.

"Today ma'am, I asked her today."

"Wow how'd you ask her? I need details."

"I wrote her a song." he says, blushing.

"You wrote that song for me? I thought it was for the project." I ask.

"Of coarse it was for you. There's been nobody else but you on my mind for the past two weeks."

"Awe." says my stepmom.

This is really weird I want to hug him but my stepmom is making me uncomfortable.

While we're going down the street, Harry points out his house, even though i already know which one it is and we stop, it's a big blue house with a red door like mine, except for my house is white.

We stop to drop him off and he says,

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Nolle."

"You can call me Sasha." she says.

"Ok, Mrs. Sasha." he says showing his dimples.

He takes her fingers in his hand and kisses the top of her hand. Then, he goes to get his bike and just as he's heading inside he walks passed my window, kisses his hand, and waves in my direction.

Finding out that Harry lives so close just makes me feel a whole new level if safety the kind of love and safety that only Harry can provide me with.

He's right, we do need each other.
