Pages Of Our Lives // Harry Styles Fanfic

Chapter 19 • Family Feud

"Hey, I forgot to tell you, family dinner tonight." Harry says.
"Ok, I have plans later." I ate a strawberry.
"With who?" I drooled some. Not expecting that.
"Cam." I lied but it was obvious. Cam is in Belize. I could have said Joice or Gemma.
"MJ, with who?" I couldn't lie to him.
"When I left I ran into Sean on the street and he's been taking me out to coffee."
"Sean?! Are you kidding me?" I don't think I have seen him this angry.
"Yes. While we were...you know, separated." His temper went down.
"Just coffee?"
"Just coffee." I assured him.
"I don't want to lose you." He said after a few moments of silent.
"You're not losing us."

  I grabbed the car keys off the counter.
"Taking the Porsche." I yell. Harry walks around he corner.
"Not like that." He says as he pulls up my shirt and pulls down my shorts.
"Stop it." I smack his hand.
"Open toed shoes?! When did you become a slut?" I laugh with horror.
"You're an ass."
"I love you."
"Ya ya."
"Be safe."

I sat down at a cherry wood bench next to Sean. Something about that ring aways caught my attention.
"Thats a really beautiful ring, Sean." I say.
"Thank you." He reacted differently than the last time I brought it up.
"I told Harry this time."
"How did he take it?"
"After pulling my shirt up and pulling my shirts down he let me go." He chuckled.
"I don't want to date you. I want to catch up. We haven't seen each other in years Mara."
"It doesn't really matter what you think. It matters what he thinks." It was weird to think that I have kissed him. I've snuggled up to him. I've cried on his shoulder. Hell, I even put on a white dress for this man. And he turned away. Can you really go back to that? Something tells me he wants to go back and I don't think I'm ready to be stabbed again.
"Can I tell you a secret?" I asked.
"Of course." It felt necessary for him to take my hand and or put it on his heart.
"Harry and I are having a baby." He glowed with happiness and hate. I knew what was going through his head: this could have been us. But it wasn't. This was Mara and Harry's life and this was Mara and Harry's beginning family. Sean wasn't apart of it.

We decided we would go our separate ways I was a little depressed but I think that's the same depression he left me with at the alter.

  I got home and David and Louis were playing Fifa.
"Oh hey." David says.
"Since when do you hang out with us?"
"Umm, it's Louis, not us. And since my car broke down." He continued playing. Their eyes fixed on the screen. Harry walked in and kissed my cheek.
"How'd it go?"
"Well that's the last time..." He put his cup under the water dispenser.
"Mmm." He says as he drinks it.
"With who?" David asks.
"No one." I say. David didn't need to get into that. For all i know David beat the shit out Sean after finding him at a bar minutes after me leaving him. David was a good brother but I didn't want blood on his hands and I knew he would hunt him down just for an apology.
"Secrets." He says. I rub my stomach.
"More to come." I say. Harry smiles.
"You and me both." Louis says.
"Come on I'll take you home." I tell David.
"Goal!" Louis yells.
"Thanks mate." David fist bumbed Louis and walked it the door where I was standing.
"No problem." Louis says.
"I'll play." Harry joins in with Louis.

  On my way taking David home to his flat I got a call from Steph that there was a sale going on at Area. She was there with the wedding planner, Erika.
"I don't understand-" David ranted. I switched lanes. "That's not the way to my flat."
"Quick stop." I pulled into Area.
"Quick? Do you know the meaning of quick?"
"I won't be long? You can join me."
"Oh my god Mara!" I parked and we walked in. I waved at Steph who sat at a table with Erika.
"There's a sale going on!?" David asks.

  I got so caught up in the sale and David's constant nagging that I forgot about the dinner tonight.
"Alright, I'm going to walk." David says as he finishes rearranging large letters that spelled S-T-U-C-K  S-E-N-D  H-E-L-P
"Haha. Very funny."
"But I'm seriously going to walk." It was starting to get closer to closing time. David's phone rang.
"Hello?" "Yeah I'm with her." "Area." "I know right?" "Alright." "K, bye."
"Who was that?" I ask.
"Harry."
"Oh shit. What time is it?"
"6:56." He says. The store closed early on weekends.
"We got to go!"
"He said he's bringing your things."
"That's stupid."
"Well he's in his way, so sit tight." Oh god. We're going to be late to the brawl.
"Steph." I said.
"Yeah?"
"You drive David home?"
"I don't have a car."
"Keys." I tossed her Porsche keys.
"You're trusting me?"
"Yes."
"I can't drive a stick!"
"Come on." David says. "You drive I'll stick."
"That didn't come out right." Steph says.

  Harry brought me a sleeveless back dress and red-bottom heels.
"I guessed. I thought you've worn this before so I just went by memory."
"It's perfect." He zipped up the dress.
"Who has the Porsche?" He asks.
"Steph and David."
"Steph drives stick?"
"No but David does."
"Great combo Mara."
"I'm not the one who insisted on coming here."
"Come on." He took me out if the limo by hand. Someone must have tipped off he press because paparazzi was there. I later found out we just happened to eat at the same restaurant That Adam Sandler was eating at.
"It's Harry Styles!" One yelled. I squeezed his hand.
"You got this." He said. "Smile big."
"Excuse us." He opened the door for me.
"What a gentleman man!" They yelled.
"Put a ring on it!" Another said.
"Thank you." Harry said with his hand in the air. Security took over after we got inside. The restaurant was now a battle field. The Twist's and Styles' we're in one room at the same time. Let the family feud begin.

  Dinner went well until Anne's husband accidentally spilled water on Desmond. He huffed in anger.
"Dad." Harry said. Trying to calm his nerves.
"I apologize, Desmond." He says.
"It's ok. We all make mistakes." The mood relaxed. "Just some more than others."
"Dad!" Gemma yelled.
"This is why I divorced you!" Anne shouted.
"Oh! Got a little family feud." I looked to see who said that. Adam Sandler did.
"I apologize Mr. Sandler." Mike says.
"Oh no worries Enjoy your meal." He says. The didn't enjoy it, actually they got right back into it.
"Your hound of a husband is indespicable!" He barked.
"I'm sorry? Who organized this 'fun dinner'?" Anne asks. He huffed again. If smoke could come out of his mouth it would have. As tensions rose Harry searched my touch for comfort. Putting his hand between my thighs.
"You are an awful man and I hope you never EVER treat anyone as horribly as you did me!" Anne yelled so loud is caused an uproar with the paparazzi. "Better yet don't ever marry again!"
"Mara is pregnant." Harry says. I looked at him with wide eyes. Everyone stopped talking. All I could think of was: thank goodness the paparazzi didn't get that.
