The Rock In The Forest [Harry Styles]

Chapter Five

Harry's POV:




I held Vi's soft hand in mine looking out at the crowd. There are around a thousand people all screaming my name and crying. It is only 1:00 p.m. and I am already regretting my decision to come home. Keeping a bright smile on I look out of the corner of my eye to see Violet's unhappy face. Her lips form a frown and her green eyes full of confusion. She looks up at me and asks who the crowd of screaming girls are. All I could do was answer with, "my other life." What was I supposed to say? That I have a thousand fans who followed me home? I need to stop this madness. Now I realize how loud it really is to be a fan. Their screaming is piercing my ears sending a deep pounding to my forehead. Their iPhones make countless noises as they take pictures and videos. Now is one of those times that I am happy Vi and I have such a large age difference. If Vi was any closer to my age, the crowd would label us as something else. Something that we are not.




Snapping out of my negative thoughts, I hold Vi close to me and start walking into the crowd. Since my car is at the other side of the crowd, this would be a bit of a challenge without my bodyguards. I made a fist and held my elbow out making a separator with my forearm. The fans tug at our hair and clothes. At some point my glasses were stolen right off of my face and I could barely see my car. Why the fuck can't fans give me some privacy for once? 




I got to my car pushing over to the passenger side. Opening the door cautiously, I led Vi into the black Dodge Charger. As soon as she was buckled in the seat, I ran for the drivers side making it just barely from a fan pulling on my belt. I slammed the car door shut and locked the car. Putting my seatbelt on, I start the car and put it into drive. Thankfully I told mum that Vi would be coming with me to the new house in advance. I kept my eyes sharp on the road.




I can't believe those fans. How the hell did they find me in the first place? Why didn't I bring a bodyguard just in case..... Ugh, I just need to get to the new house, then I will explain what happened back there but the look on Vi's face tells me she figured it out already. "Um.. Are you okay?"




"Yeah." She's mad. Very mad. Her eyebrows are scrunched up while she stares out the window avoiding eye contact with me. I can't deal with trying to explain to her now. After what just happened I need the time from now to the house to calm down. Once we are there I will try my best to pull it together but not right now.




Violet's POV:




What was that? I knew that Harry had fans but not like that... Maybe he didn't know they would be there either, he did look surprised when we went outside. He didn't seem to like having to push through the crowd very much and the high pitched screaming must have hurt both of our ears. I know that he tried to talk to me but I am too confused and annoyed to talk right now. Since he gave up easily on talking to me, it looks like he feels the same way. Both of us need to take time to ourselves and process what happened back there.




Trying my best to avoid looking at Harry, I looked around the leather seat and saw mum and dad's cars. Relieved, I sink into the warm leather and close my heavy eyes. It feels too early to be tired but I don't mind. It's a long drive to the new house and I sure won't be spending it awkwardly avoiding Harry. I took my phone out of my back pocket and checked it one last time. I saw a few Twitter posts and one iMessage. I slid my finger across the screen to read the iMessage:




From: Mummy

Are you ok sweetie? That was pretty crazy back there!
