Shattered - H.S. |on hold|

Twenty. [Harry Pov]

I woke up with a weight resting on my shirtless chest. Looking up I noticed a mob of brown shoulderlength hair spread over my left side and a hand perfectly stretched out on the other.

As we lie here in peace and silence I start to think of what happened yesterday. Cleo who kept bragging about how delicious her pasta was, constantly asking Belle for confirmation while that last one sipped her wine as a true majesty.

If it wasn't for her I would have been annoyed ten times worse I actually was, it was her presence that really calmed me down. Knowing she was willing me to be there aside her, that's what I kept thinking until they put on three musicals claiming it to be their favorite movie.

I remember one of the first days here, which had only been a month ago, when I had just tried to put Lux asleep. It was an incredible job to me, to put Lux asleep in the early days, I just couldn't do it. She needed a mother figure to stay around while she tried to sleep, or a daddy one. Just not a big brother. So when she was finally breathing soft snores I was extremely relieved but especially proud, that was until these two started to blast the most ridiculous songs through the building. I remembered how I lost my temper back then, and how I did last night once again.

But what stuck in my mind was in both cases Belle followed me onto the hallway. The first time she was extremely frightened, offering help with her soft stuttery Australin accent voice. While now she cared and she became behind me because she still wanted me around.

I felt a warm spark flood through my body as I remembered what she said about maybe going on this real date, maybe it was the wine flooding through her system already, maybe it wasn't. If she didn't talk about it later on I would certainly ask her out.

As she turned off my body her shirt was lifted, revealing her hipbones and making me gulp all the while. It wasn't for the amount of tanned flesh that was revealed, but the memory of yesterday that hid behind it. Belle had gone way into the game that she couldn't even see straight when we finished. We had a good laugh, except the very last game where I found out the girl right beside me had had an eating disorder, and thinking of the few times I saw her throwing up, she might be still suffering.

I wanted her to ask about it, I wanted to hear her story but I didn't have the guts to ask her and I doubted she would remember.

My fingertips gently stroke over her jutting out hipbones, I noticed her frown forming onto her forehead but she didn't flinch as usual. She was getting used to my touch. Instead of continuing tracing her skin I pulled the hem of my shirt she was wearing to cover her up once again.

Right when I wanted to pull her close to my chest again a knock on the door disturbed us. I tried my best to leave the bed without waking her up, which I accomplished and walked to the door, only to reveal an unexpected guest.

A dressed up man, perfectly in uniform including the all to famous hat on his head. With my outh agape I studied him, voices in my head were cursing out loud. How could I forget that cops are checking up on me.

The man stretched out his arm, showing me his certificate. I didn't bother to check up on his name, though he seemed familiar. Probably from the past months I spent at the police offices all across the country.

“Mr. Styles, we're here to check up on you and your sister, can you please take a seat.”

I know this part is extremely short but I am starting revision week & exams after that and I really really really wanted to update. I want to update again this week but I can't promise you anything and otherwise it will be after the 13th December AND I CAN PROMISE U THAT IT WOULD BE GOOOOOOD. I hope you guys stick with me through my exams & that you kind of enjoy this part, next part will be in Harry POV too x x x
