Keep Me Warm [Harry Styles Fanfic]

Chapter 12: Studio?

I placed the tray on the sink and went upstairs to get changed as Harry had popped out to get something.

Half way up the wooden steps, holding on the banister I remembered I was in short sleeves...

I brought my left arm into my stomach then quickly peeked, my scars were still there. Why wouldn't they be? They had been there for years now.

I stroked my fingers over them shivering.

White ugly lines, so pathetic Anna

I then carried on up, stroking my thighs, luckily the worst of my past was covered.

Lacey's bedroom was down the landing through the study and behind the big white door.

My eyes caught my rucksack immediately as I stepped into the room, the curtains were still drawn and the key chains on my bag glowed.

I decided to wear the purple sweater in Lacey's wardrobe, the one she'd never given back to me and some leggings. I walked over to the mirror contemplating whether or not to put the extra tights I brought on. I normally wore about three pairs of tights under my leggings or jeans so no one noticed my weight-loss but I was only going to be hanging around here with Harry, Lacey and whoever else. Besides, I'd eaten a lot compared to usual.

It'll be fine, your legs look kind of nice today anyway

What has Harry done to you Anna?

I don't know but I like it

No you don't, he's making you fat

Shut up

Oi

I put my pyjamas into my bag and placed it at the bottom of Lacey's bed, letting the arguments carry on in my head and slipping my toothbrush from the front pocket. I liked brushing my teeth, I liked the feeling of freshness after, it was like every breath I took was pure and clean.

"You only just up?" Lacey asked as I walked into the kitchen.

"No, I just brushed my teeth" I replied conscious of the unknown faces that were now staring at me.

"Oh, this is Louis and Zayn" Lacey smiled and so did they.

"My names-" I started.

"I know you, you're Jake's sister" Louis' smile grew bigger knowing who I was. But that wasn't me, he had just proved he knew my brother.

I sighed and replied "yep, well my names Anna"

"Well nice to meet you Anna" Zayn looked up from the plate of toast he was eating and smiled. I couldn't quite place where his accent came from...

"Nice to meet you too" I nodded.

I felt a large hand grab my waist from behind and the bottom of a head placed on my shoulder, "Hey everyone, I bought some brownies" even just from the presents of him, I knew who it was

Harry.

He dug his head into my neck as I steadied myself on the counter I'd been leaning on and turned my body round to face his.

"Hello there" I said, hovering our noses next to each others.

His plump lips made their way to mine and softy slipped away again "Hi beautiful". The words look a breath of mine away as I was playfully tugged closer to him by the arm wrapped around my waist.

"Oh I see" Zayn's accent muffled into the background of the world Harry was moulding for me until Louis broke it;

"Yeah, Jake ant going to be happy"

"Jake wont find out..." Harry pulled away from me and placed the bag of brownies onto the breakfast counter "not for now anyway" everything went quiet as they watched me and Harry look into each others eyes from across the room. I knew he was hurt, as was I that we couldn't be together officially.

My stomach noted at the thought.

Harry had placed himself behind where Zayn was sitting on the high stool. I wonder if they knew each other? Or was acting casual around everyone just something boys did to show dominance or something...

"You coming to the studio today?" Louis asked looking towards Harry who was now worryingly looking towards me for a reaction.

Harry? A studio?
