Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

19. For You

I kept counting down the days and tomorrow was Februray first leaving 33 days until I'm nineteen.

I don't know why I was so excited to be nineteen, I guess it's because I feel like everything will be okay. I prayed both Oliver and my father wouldn't find me nor Liam anymore.

Liam walked up to me on the table dropping a newspaper in front of me after coming back from the run I had ditched.

I looked at him in confusion furrowing my eyebrows.

"Do the puzzle" he said excitedly.

"Why?"

"It's a good start for the day"

"But why?"

"Just do it!"

"Okay! But I don't understand why" I rolled my eyes taking the pen he handed out for me.

"It's fun" he sat next to me looking over at the paper.

"I'm sure it is" I said sarcastically looking for another meaning of water.

Oh God.

"This is so stupid" I said writing h2o on the thing.

"Oo! That one's laughter!" he exclaimed.

"Which is the opposite of what I'm doing!" I stood up, "You finish it I'm going out today"

"Where are you going?" he said moving his eyebrow at me making me stare at him.

"I was going to go to the cinema with Sophia if you want to come with" I said tying my hair up.

"Sure, just let me get ready" he said and I nodded stepping aside letting him pass by me, I went into the the guest room picking out some clothing for me to process. I had to retrieve the remainder of my clothes from Harry then again I don't want to go to his flat. I'll just buy more clothes...

I dressed as fast as I could brushing my hair and struggling to get my converse on.

"Vanessa" Sophia called.

I stood in front of the oval mirror in the room gripping the bow into place on the back of my head then grabbing my bag and heading out with Sophia and Liam.

"What are we watching?" Liam asked.

"We were going to watch a chick flick but now that you're with us..." Sophia teased making me giggle.

Liam intertwined his fingers with hers making me look away. I sighed silently getting into the backseat of Liam's car. My phone began to ring as Liam was starting the car.

Mel

I hit ignore not wanting to talk to anyone that had connections with Harry. Later it beeped meaning I had a voicemail. I unlocked my cell phone hearing in on the message.

"Vanessa we need to talk. Where are you? Please call me back!"

I erased it turning my phone off and shoving it in a pocket of my back.

"Who was that?" Liam asked looking at me through the rear view mirror.

"No one special" I replied keeping my eyes out the window.

During the movie I kept fidgeting. I excused myself getting up and out of the screening room. I leaned against the wall next to the door checking my notifications scrolling through the missed calls and messages. I finally got enough and pressed call back.

"Hello? Vanessa? Finally!"

"What do you want?" I asked switching my phone to the other side of my head.
