Why me?! (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 8 Fire

•Alex

After several hours of waiting, four boys come outside the jail with Harry. He quickly introduced me and we were driving back to this brunette guy named Liam's house. Zayn and this blonde boy named Niall were in his car. I was in the car with Liam, Harry and Louis who was smoking in the car which made me cough a few times.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop smoking in my car?"Liam warned but his voice was very gentle. Louis just shrugged.

Once we were all at Liam's house, we went inside to basically have Harry tell us what happened even though I was there.

"Did you deck him...hard?" Louis asked with excitement. I chuckled a bit too hard. Harry shrugged it off.

"Well what should we do now? I need to get out of this funk." Harry asked.

"I know this really cool place at the beach we could build a bonfire." Zayn said. We all agreed.

"Can I invite a friend or two?" They all said yes and started chatting again. I went upstairs into I'm guessing Liam's bedroom. It was really clean for a boy's bedroom. I took out my phone and dialed my friend Tiffany.

"Hey girl!"

"Hey want to come to a bonfire tonight?"

"Sure. Why not?"

"Cool I'm texting Jai now. Pick her up on the way would you?"

"Yes ma'am see ya soon." After I told her the directions, she ended the call. I texted Jai saying she was coming soon.

They pulled up in the driveway in Tiffany's yellow jeep with no doors. I want that jeep so bad. Or any car in general. We greeted each other and I lead them inside.

"Guys. Meet my friends Jailene and Tiff..." she was staring straight at Louis and the creepy thing is, he was staring back. I tapped her and she blushed and tried to hide her face some. They greeted them with waves and handshakes, except Niall who hugged them. He's an odd one, but I like his enthusiasm.

Me, and Tiff sat in front while Jai and Louis sat in the back talking about random stuff. While we were driving I couldn't stop staring at this one light in this very big building. It was so mesmerizing.

We arrived at the beach and got out of the car. After we set up, we talked and I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

"Hey can I talk to you alone for a sec?" Harry asked. I nodded and followed him to behind the cars.

"Well, we've known each other for a while now and I wanted to ask you something, but before you say no I wanted you to hear my feelings about it." He looked around trying to put words together.

"Alex, I really like you and not just  for convience but the kind of feeling when every time I see you, I feel all bubbly inside. I have that feeling for you. I can't even think straight. I probably sound stupid. I'm sorry you don't have to say yes, but I was just think we could, be more than friends?" I leaned in and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Yes," was all I could say. We hugged for a long time until I pulled away. He held my face in his hands and he leaned down and our lips connected. There are no words to describe how perfect it felt. The stars were twinkling above us. The smell of the fire all around us.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you too." Which was weird considering I've only told my brother this. I don't know why or how, but it just felt right. I feel do love him. I've never put myself in such a vulnerable position before.

We walked back to the bonfire to see Tiffany laying her head on Niall's shoulder and Jai and Louis practically swallowing each other. It seems like everyone had a nice night. We were all pretty tired so we drove back. Harry drove the jeep and I sat passenger side. Jai and Louis fell asleep in the backseat. Tiff went in the other car with Niall.

As I was was staring out the window and listening to the soft music playing, I felt something touch my thigh. I look down and see Harry's hand resting there. I look up at him. His eyes meet mine and the only thought that came to mind was,

"I love you Harry," I've never said that to a boy before. He looks up and smiles at me.

When we got home Louis carried Jai upstairs and they slept in a spare room. Zayn, Niall and Tiff went back to their separate houses. Liam said we could have his room.

I climbed under the navy comforter feeling very accomplished. I felt the bed dip and I knew it was Harry. I turned around so he could wrap his arms around me.

"I love you." he said and we shared a long passionate kiss. He started to put his hand in my stomach.

"Hey, I actually haven't... done that yet."I stammer.

"Sorry. I just really want you. I'm sorry forget it, that was uncalled for. Goodnight baby, I love you." he said. Those 3 words warm my heart every time.

"I love you too," and with that, we drifted off to sleep.
