Chapter 2:

Shona's p.o.v

Oh my god! He's making plans for us already! That's so crazy! My mum walks in while I'm dancing around my room to Heart Attack. "What the hell is going on" she says angrily. "I've got a date with HARRY FLIPPING STYLES ahhhhhhhhhhhh" "I don't bloody care keep the noise down or you won't be going." My mum and I don't really get along... She's always so stressed out and she never has any time for me. Since my dad died everything's been really tense. It was a year ago next month, I understand things are hard for my mum but she doesn't take into consideration how I feel. It's like she's in this little bubble and all she can think about is herself and when the next drink will be. She's been drinking so much lately, I'm getting really worried about it... I try and help her but she just throws it back in my face... I don't know what to do. I'm just so thankful I have my big brother James, he is my rock. We have a good relationship but him and mum haven't spoken since she hit him not long after dad died. You see my dad was in the army so he was away for months at a time meaning mum had to raise us basically alone. When we got the letter saying our father was killed in action it destroyed any bond we had ever had with our mum because she was never really a maternal person. I shake those thoughts out of my head and start rummaging through my wardrobe. What to wear? Hmmn...

Harrys p.o.v

I can't find anything to wear omg! My clothes are thrown all around my room. I feel like pulling my hair out! Does Shona think I'm rude for telling her what to do? No... Maybe... I was just trying to be romantic. Louis knocks on my door 'hey what are you doing in here?' he says. 'Umm nothing' I reply in a stressed out tone. 'Harry. I'm your best friend tell me whats going on?!' 'Well... I just called Shona and said I have plans for us so we are going on a date tomorrow but I feel I was too pushy and demanding and and... I can't find a single thing to wear! What if she sees my scars, what will she think? I'm so stupid!!!' I collapse on the floor into a ball. 'Harry, mate calm down. Girls love it when guys take control, we will find you something to wear don't worry about that and as for your scars well that's in your past, you were in a dark place and if Shona is how you say she is then she won't care.' Louis is so reassuring it means a lot that I have him as my best mate. 'Okay, okay I'm sorry. I'm just getting a bit stressed. I really liked Shona in high school so I don't want to mess things up.' Louis nods at me, tells me to take a breather and then he walks out of my room. I rummage around in my wardrobe and finally find an outfit suitable for the beautiful Shona. Outfit sorted but it shows my scars... I hope she doesn't bring it up because it was a long time ago. I hear my name being shouted, what do they want now? I go downstairs and I get attacked with hugs from the boys. They tell me to cheer up and that tomorrow will go fine. I smile at the thought of taking her out. It will be amazing.
