Reaching Out. (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty One

Harry's P.O.V

There's not a bloody way of me thinking this party is going to end good. I am already aware that Ashton will be here along with Alicia. Also the guys, Niall, Louis, Zayn and Liam who grew quite fond of Bella. Especially Zayn.

Which makes me hate him even more then I ever did, because he likes Bella. My Bella.

"Harry, are you okay?" Bella says tugging gently on my arm a concerned look on her face.

Nodding I give her a faint smile and turn open the door to the frat house. Booming music and loud talking coming from inside automatically give me a head ache.

Bella follows close behind Tea, her hand leaving my arm to keep up with her best friend.

I never really understand how Tea and Bella are friends - best friends to be exact. Tea is like goth and wears a lot of black and red and she seems like a dark person. She is pretty though and her personality is great.

Bella. Her personality is beyond perfect. Shy but outgoing you can't go wrong with her. Curves in every right place. Flawless skin. --

Shaking my head I look around the room for where they went but find no signs of either of them.

"Hey, mate!" Louis chirps patting my back with a large smile.

Nodding I raise my eyebrows quickly and smile before turning and bumping into a small figure.

"Harry!" Alicia says with a smile running her hand up my arm squeezing my biceps.

Bloody hell I think to myself, looking for Bella or anyone for that matter that doesn't royally piss me off.

"How about we sneak off into one of those rooms upstairs and get the real party started." She says with a wink pulling me towards the stairs.

"No-- what the hell. No you fucking slut."

"Excuse me? You had no problem before you met that tramp over there." Her arm flails up pointing to something across the room.

Turning around quickly a sigh of relief escapes my lips as Bella makes her way towards us.

"You're too good for her. I don't understand what you want from her. Her virginity? What the fuck is she too you."

"She means nothing to me." I say the words leaving my mouth too quickly to even think.

Smirking Alicia nods and pushes past me shaking her head with a wicked laugh.

"I'll be upstairs if you want anything." She calls back exciting the room into the hallway.

Rubbing my face I turn around to look at Bella, tears in her eyes.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"Really? I mean nothing to you. Well that's just great Harry. Thanks for that. Way to make me feel wonderful."

"Bell, I was only just saying that to get her off my case."

Shaking her head she rolls her eyes and presses her finger on my chest.

"Don't call me Bell and most certainly don't talk to me." She says before turning and walking away.

Fuck Harry. You should go after her. You never do. This time you should just go.

"Bella please!" I call after her only to have everyone look over in my direction.

Shaking my head I walk deeper into the house hoping to find her.

"Hey!" Niall calls after me.

"Have you seen Bella." I ask rubbing the back of my neck.

"Yeah. She looks hot as fuck in that dress. Like holy shit. Her ass and her che--"

"Want to shut the fuck up. Where is she right now?"

"I saw her in the kitchen." He says pushing past me and rolling his eyes.

"What is with you. You're being a dick tonight. First you shrug off Louis. I thought you two were best mates. Then you passed up sex with Alicia and now me?"

Groaning I turn and walk away from Niall, sliding past people to get into the kitchen.

I really fucked up bad this time. I don't even know why I said that. I wasn't thinking. I like Bella.

Do I? She's a friend and all but she isn't that 'great' or anything.

Shaking my head I look around the kitchen and spot Tea her body pressed tight against Liam's, talking to Louis.

Niall pushes past me and joins the group Louis patting him on the back with a smile.

Walking further into the kitchen I see the familiar jacket which belong to a tall and skinny figure.

Zayn.

In front of him is a laughing Bella her smile no reaching all the way up to her eyes.

It's all my fault.

Walking over to the large group I stand beside Louis wrapping my arm around his back pulling him close.

"Hey mate you seem a bit down?" He says, which comes out more as a question.

Shaking my head I smile and give his shoulder a squeeze.

"I'm great actually! Sorry for being a dick earlier you know? Eh, Nialler sorry too man. Wasn't thinking straight." I say giving them a firm nod.

"Sounds great. Want a beer?" Louis questions smiling up at me.

"No, thanks though."

"Sure, man."

"Where's Bella!? I thought she was with you. Harry, you better not have lost her!" Tea says, glaring at me.

Rubbing her back Liam leans down and whispers something in her ear causing her to smile.

"She's just back there with Zayn. She is pissed at me. But I don't even give a fuck!"

Turning around and pointing to where I last saw Bella and Zayn my hand drops to my side when they are both gone.

"They were there I --"

"Save it Harry you're a fucking dick." Tea says walking up to me.

"I heard what you said to Alicia. You're a dick. A big fucking dick." She continues pushing past me.

Turning and looking at the group behind me they shrug and hand me a beer.

This time. I don't decline it.


Bella's P.O.V

"Zayn I need to pee." I say frowning and covering my face.

Earning a chuckle he puts his hand on my lower back and pushes me through the crowded room.

"Well let's go fix that problem."

Nodding I walk up the stairs and down the hallway, stepping over people who have already had to much to drink and who are passed out.

"When we get back downstairs I'll get you a drink. There's this raspberry punch that you'll die for." He says with a smirk.

"Does it have alcohol in it?

"Yes!" He exclaims. Turning a corner down another hall stopping at a large door.

Smiling I nod and open the door. The white tiles shine and the walls are a blood red.

"Nicest bathroom I've ever seen." I say laughing.

Nodding he leans against the wall opposite of me and smiles.

"I'll wait out here for you."

Smiling I walk into the bathroom and lock the door, finishing my business and fixing my hair in only a few minutes.

Exciting the bathroom Zayn stands in the same spot before a smile still painted across his face.

"Let's go get you a drink." He says taking my hand in his.

***

Five drinks later my voice is slurred to the point where no one can understand what I'm saying.

Normally I would never in a million years drink as much as I did tonight.

I only did so to get my mind off Harry. How could he possibly say I mean nothing to him.

How could you mean nothing to a person who saved you in the school hallways.

"Bella! I have been looking all over for you! Where the hell have you been!" Tea says crossing her arms.

"I've been right here!" I say giggling and covering my mouth.

Scrunching her eyebrows together she turns to look at Zayn.

"How much did she have to drink?!"

"Umm. Like. Um. Four.. Five cups of punch."

"Are you fucking serious! You peice of shit! Oh my god. We need to get you home Bella." Tea says grabbing onto my arm.

What? Why. We've only been here two hours and I'm already having a blast.

"I want more to drink! I'm having fun." I say giggling again turning and looking at Zayn.

He smiles back and Tea stops and looks at me.

"You're so drunk. I'm surprised you're still walking."

To be honest. I'm pretty surprised I'm walking too.

"I'm going to find Harry and get him to take us back to your house." She says walking away.

"No, no, no, no, no!" I say chasing after her pushing a girl who's skirt is too short out of the way.

"I'm not going anywhere with Harry I don't like him. He is a dick."

"I know. But he is our only way home. Common."

Groaning I grab her hand and she pulls me threw the large crowds of people.

Entering the kitchen I spot Niall, Louis, Liam and the dick hole Harry.

"Bella!" Niall cheers as we get closer.

Everyone turning to look at us Liam and Louis give Tea and I a warm smile.

"Harry were ready to go home. Bella's had to much to drink."

Giggling I shake my head and look at Niall who is staring at me.

"I'm actually quite fine Tea!" I say.

"I could really go for another drink!" I add on looking around the room.

"I'll get you one sweetheart." Niall says walking past me smacking my bum.

Giggling I watch as he walks over to the counter to get me another drink.

"Thank you." I say smiling as he returns with the raspberry punch in hand.

"Any time." He says smirking looking at me then over to Harry.

Harry.

Starring at me with wicked eyes, full of what seems like, hate?

I don't see why he hates me so much. I've done nothing but be nice and take him in as he is.

Our first date, he was so sweet. So perfect. A gentlemen. Now he is just a fucking asshole. The time we went to the fair and Ashton came and ruined everything.

Ashton.

Squeezing Teas hand tightly I turn her around and look her dead in the eyes.

"We need to go. Now!" I say.

Just as the words leave my both a finger taps my shoulder and whispers in my ear.

"Hey baby-doll."

Pushing my elbow back into Ashton's gut I gulp down the rest of my drink before pulling Tea out the house.

"Harry come on!" Tea screams to Harry as we exit the large frat house.

Seconds later Harry comes sprinting out the house and getting into the drivers seat.

Both me and Tea getting in the back seats he turns to look at me and furrows his brow.

"If you puke in my fucking car I will leave you at the side of the fucking road." He says his words like venom.

Nodding I look at Tea and then down too my lap.

***

"Holy crap!" Tea says as I rush into the house throwing my keys on to front table and kicking my shoes off.

Running up stairs into my bathroom I lock the door and get down on my knees in front of the toilet. Disposing the alcohol in my system.

Tears leaving my eyes I sit back against the cabinet cupboards and rub my eyes.

What did I ever do to Harry. How can he be such a dick in such a short period of time.

Ashton. I should've known he was going tonight. He even have me signs of it. How could I ever be so stupid!

"Bella! Open the door." Tea says pounding on the door.

Crawling over I unlock it and make my way over to the spot I was in before .

As Tea enters the room her features soften as she takes in my appearance.

"Bella." She says softly with a frown.

Sitting down next to me she wraps her arms around me and rests her head on my shoulder.

"He's an asshole. I know you liked him."

Shaking my head I roll my eyes.

"I've barely even known him for very long. Why would I even like him. Like you said. He's an asshole."

Nodding she looks up at me and sighs pushing the hair up off her forehead standing up.
