Alex's POV
The day flew by pretty fast. All my classes had boring lectures, as usual. Throughout the day, I couldn't stop thinking about Harry. The way we had laughed together when we're supposed to hate each other. This is high school, and in high school, differences are strictly separated; not but the school, but by the student body itself.
I was interrupted by my thoughts as I heard the slamming of my locker door. I looked up to find, of course, Harry.
"Hello Alex." Harry smiled.
"Hey Harry." I returned the smile.
"When will you be ready? I'm excited for this ride!" He exclaimed.
"It's a three hour ride to Ridgeway, what's so exciting?"
"I get to spend three hours with you, of course." He smirked.
"Oh hush Styles, let's go."
We walked to the car in silence, but not that kind of awkward silence. It was more of a peaceful silence.
I caught myself staring at Harry, admiring his natural beauty. I know its weird to call a guy beautiful, but not for Harry. For him, beautiful would be an understatement.
As I climbed in my car I immediately felt a little bad by my thoughts. I can't be thinking these things. I have a boyfriend. A boyfriend that I'm about to drive three hours to see, I might add.
"With Harry." My subconscious adds.
I ignore my thoughts as I start the car and begin to drive.
"I'm hungry." Harry states not even five minutes into the drive.
"Harry." I wine.
"Stop at Chick-fil-a? Please? I'll buy!" He pleads. The smile on his face is almost impossible to resist, so I give in.
After we order our food, we are finally on our way.
"Can we play a game or something? To pass the time?" Harry asks.
"Like?"
"20 questions!" He exclaims like a child.
"Harry, seriously? Can you pick something else please?" I beg.
"Fine, truth or dare."
"Fine, you first."
"Okay, Alex truth or dare?"
"Well I'm driving, so truth."
"How many boyfriends have you had in your life?"
I should have seen this coming.
"Two. Justin and Jake." I answered.
"Seriously? Two?"
"Yes, my turn now. Truth or dare?" I moved on.
"Truth."
"Okay, how many girls have you slept with this year alone?" I asked.
"Ah, so we're getting personal. Only three." He answered effortlessly. Okay.
"Truth or dare Alex?"
"Truth."
"Since we're getting personal, are you a virgin?"
I didn't really know how to answer this question. I wasn't expecting this from him.
"Alex? I'm waiting."
"Technically." I finally answered.
"Technically? What does that mean?"
"It means technically. I've never actually given myself to someone, but.." I stopped in mid-sentence.
"But what?" He asked.
"Nothing."
"Oh I get it, you just haven't gone all the way yet."
"No, that's not it."
"Then what?"
"Nothing, it's nothing." I wish I would have just said yes.
"Alex, it can't be that embarrassing."
"It's not embarrassing."
"Alex, you can talk to me about anything."
"I hardly know you, Harry. No I can't." I spoke quietly.
"Yes you can! I'm not going to laugh. I promise!"
"It's not anything to laugh about!" I shouted, tears brimming in my eyes.
"Alex pull over." Harry demanded.
I immediately pulled over, catching the seriousness in Harry's voice. Harry got out of the car and walked to the driver side.
"I'm driving." He stated. I didn't hesitate to slide across the seat, letting Harry drive.
Harry and I continued on the drive for about an hour and I couldn't help but noticed how disturbed he looked. He must have realized that I was looking at him because he turned to me and began speaking.
"Alex, I'm not trying to make you upset but can you please just talk to me? I'm not going to tell anyone."
"It's not that I'm afraid you're going to tell someone, Harry."
"Then what is it?"
"I'm just not ready to talk about it! Can you please just respect that and drop it?!" I exclaimed, my voice being louder than I expected.
At this point, I was full on tears. I didn't want to cry in front Harry, or anyone for that matter. It shows that I'm weak. I don't want to be weak anymore.
"Fine, will you promise me something then?"
"Depends."
"Whenever you're ready to talk about what happened or if you just need to talk to someone, promise I'll be the first you come to."
"Harry, I--"
"Promise me." He urged.
"Fine, I promise." I choked.
I turned over on my side and closed my eyes, stopping the tears. I felt Harry's warm hand reach over and wipe my tears, then wrapping itself around my own. I probably should have pulled away, but I didn't. Instead, I fell asleep hand in hand with Harry.
