Part 4

Harry's POV

So as I drive back home I'm thinking about what's going on. Do I really want to mess with this girl, I mean I could completely ruin my reputation. I could become, dare I say, uncool. I don't really fancy leading her on. She's nothing special- boring clothes, shy, boffin. But its for Taylor, I remind my self, and I love Taylor. She's beautiful and popular and has an amazing body. Oh her body. I shake myself and focus on the road. I wish I could stay like this forever. No responsibilities, no deadlines, just a road, a car and myself. I feel free when I'm driving alone - even if it is down a housing estate. I know I have to be home soon though. Well, if you can call it a home its just a house where people, who happen to be related, all live together. My stupid older sister, the slut. My younger brother, the tosser. My mum, defenseless and weak. My dad. He's not my dad though. He's just a man in the house. I drunken wreck who beats up my mum, just for fun. The sick asshole who I am ashamed that my mum married and that I am obliged to label as my dad. My grip tightens on the steering wheel, turning my knuckles white, as I think of him beating the shit out of my mum. But she refuses to leave him. I have tried to stick up for her before but she just gets upset before he knocks me one. I don't want to go there.

But I have to. For my mum. For my little shits of siblings who I must keep away from my da...- John. I'm the biggest and strongest so I need to keep the safe, no matter how much they piss me off.

Alice's POV

As I sit here in bed, feeling confused with today's events. I don't really know what to do with myself so I text Megan. Megan is my very bestest friend in the whole wide world. I know it sounds cheesy but we came up with it when we were small. We became friends in reception because my name is Alice Megan and hers is Megan Alice. We thought it was amazing, magical even. I sent the text-

To: Meggie <3

From: Aliceeeee

Hiiiiiii, bored as hell here, come round? love A xo

I sat waiting for a reply.

"Urgh why does she take so loonngggggggg!?"

I heard a knock at the door and wet to answer it. It was Megan stood there, typing on here phone. She looked up at me and blankly said,

"I think you've got a text..."

I looked at my phone and opened the new message. It read,

*here :)* from Megan

"Heheee, come in, idiot!"

We both laugh as she walks through the door and goes into my kitchen.

"Want a drink?" I ask - I'm planning on playing it cool before I tell her about Harry texting me.

"Yeah, coke?"

"Sure." I answer

My phone vibrates against the work top as I turn away, trying to hide my smile.

"Can you check who that is for me please?" I ask, in as calm a voice as I can produce - trying not I laugh soooooo badly!

"Oh my god."

"What?" I ask. This game is too fun!

"It's from... Harry... styles!"

"Again! Jeeez that dude won't leave me alone!"

The look on her face is priceless.

"What? is there something your not telling me Alice?!" she walks towards me - I know she'll get it out of me somehow.

"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. Taylor an Harry broke up today and he came over to me, asked me for my number and gave me a lift home, before saying that he is 'looking forward to seeing me tomorrow' no biggie..."
