Candy Man - Harry Styles

009

Only three minutes later we were in the car, but with an unexpected guest.

Harry sat in the passenger seat while I had to sit in the back like a child.

He carried in a boring conversation with my mother until we arrived at a gas station.

"I'm going to get gas, what would you like to drink?" My mother spoke looking at Harry.

"I'll just have a water, here." He pulls out fives bucks from his pocket and hands it to my mother.

"Oh okay thank you. What would you like, Lana? You know what I'll just get you a water, you don't a whole bunch of sugar. Might as well try to lose a few."

I sat back shocked by my mothers words.

She opened the door and walked to the station. Harry then unbuckled his seatbelt and turned around to me.

I sat behind the drivers seat so it was quite easy for his eyes to meet mine.

His face held a sad expression.

"Baby." He spoke as a tear fell down my cheek. 

"You don't need to lose anything, not even an ounce. You're perfect and if your mother can't see that, than that's her problem." He comforted me.

I honestly was chubby. I didn't have the flattest stomach or the skinniest thighs but I was not fat. I mean I'm 5'10 for crying out loud. Although I was tall I had muscle and some extra fat but I didn't look overweight.

It just hurt me to know that I wasn't good enough for my mother.

"I'm sorry, I'm just disappointed." I breathed out as more tears rolled down my cheeks. "In myself."

"Why? You haven't done anything wrong." He said eyeing me questionably.

"Im not good enough for her, for anybody. I've never had a boyfriend. I'm almost always taller than the guys I like. I'm not as skinny as the other girls. I just don't know what to do anymore." I sobbed into my hands.

"Shh, it's okay baby." He reached over and rubbed my knee trying to comfort me.

"I need to stop crying or my mother is going to be mad and call me a crybaby." I spoke.

"No she won't, I won't let her. But I want you to know something, it's okay not to be okay sometimes."

I nodded to him, just as my mother cam out of the store.
