The New Girl

Chapter 57 - "You ruined the one thing I truely cherished..."

Harry Styles.

The moment the bell rung for class, I walked over to Daisy's usual spot. They always stand near the gym to mess with the jocks, something Daisy would always do back when I was serious about her.

"Daisy!" I called out.

The moment I did, she walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Babe, so good to see you." She giggled, leaning in to kiss me.

I took a step back and removed her arms from around my neck, "Why are you telling everyone that it's mine?!" I snapped.

I didn't care if people could hear, I'm positive they all are aware of what's happened. If Mitchell and Carter already know, then that means Daisy has been spreading it around herself.

Not only that, but the stares I've been getting since I walked into school couldn't be more obvious. I'm so furious at Daisy for doing this, especially when things were starting to look up for Aurora and I. Aside from the twins' kidnapping, everything else was going well. Now I can't even speak to Aurora without her trying to get away from me.

Daisy laughed, "Because it is yours, silly!" She giggled.

I glared at her, "Cut the crap, Daisy, I don't have time for your games. Until I can see confirmed test results that it's mine, I don't want you saying so. You've already ruined the one thing I truly cherished and cared about, I don't need you ruining my future!" I snapped, before turning around and walking towards my next class.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Aurora and Sabrina watching me. I could tell they both heard Daisy and I's little argument and the look on Aurora's face looked as if she was relieved, but she still didn't approach me nor did she call out to me. I'll take that as a sign that she still doesn't want to talk.

I continued walking towards my class, doing my best to ignore all the staring eyes.

Aurora Jones.

Listening to Harry and Daisy's conversation really brightened up my day. Harry told her he cherished me, he really did have strong feelings and wanted whatever was happening between us to work. Unfortunately, I won't be able to for the time being. That could possibly be his child developing in Daisy's stomach and I really don't have the heart to come between them.

I know Harry never planned any of this to happen, I know how much he hates Daisy and having a child with her has never popped into his mind since she hurt him... but I just can't be around him right now.

"Why don't you go talk to him?" Sabrina spoke up from beside me.

I hugged my books to my chest and shook my head, "I can't. As much as I want to talk to him, Harry has to figure things out with this whole baby thing. I mean, what if it really is his?"

"He'll provide the support for the baby, of course, but that doesn't mean he'll fall in love with Daisy. Can't you see that it's you he wants, Jones?" Liam smiled, wrapping his arm around Sabrina's shoulders.

I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks. I know Harry and I are drawn to each other, but it's a bit embarrassing when Liam says it himself.

Of course, I know how Harry feels about me and I'm sure Harry knows exactly how I feel about him. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out, but I just can't be around him right now.

I looked away, "I just can't deal with all this right now, I gotta go." I blubbered, before walking away.

*****

My plan was to go to class, but I remembered Liam and Sabrina were in that class as well and I really didn't want to talk about the whole deal with Harry right now. So I decided to come to this room.

This is the room I sulked in the day after Luke almost... yeah. It's also the room where Harry came and cheered me up.

It's the little things that I notice him do that make me feel absolutely happy. He absolutely loves teasing, but he knows when I actually need him to be there for me. Not only that, but I've noticed him opening up to me more and more. Before the twins incident, things were actually going pretty well. I know he lied about the baby, but I can't exactly blame him for doing so. He was thinking about us, he was making sure things were okay between us because... he and I know just how much we mean to each other. I can't seem to get that through my head because I'm always the one to push him away.

It's not something I want, trust me, I would much rather be with him. I would much rather be eating lunch with him at our secret spot, followed by sweet kisses as we laid in the grass. I would much rather be looking into those beautiful, green eyes of his and just taking in the smell of his intoxicating cologne. I would much rather be in his arms, watching the rain and getting kissed every now and then by those soft, pink lips of his. I want him, I really do... It's just hard to be around someone who makes your heart race while knowing he could possibly have a baby on the way.

"Why do we have to be so complicated?" I whispered to myself, looking at the rainy weather.

It was pretty cold outside, especially since winter is just around the corner.

Who am I kidding, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Not even the weather could take my mind off of him, not even for a second. Of course, I was worried about Harry, there's no way out of that. He's already been through so much with losing his mom and now he has to deal with this baby drama? I wanted to be there for him and help him through this, but we can't seem to close our feelings off when we're around each other. I know it happens to the both of us, we give each other this feeling and it pushes us towards each other.

The same feeling that has helped us make some wonderful memories. Our feelings for each other aren't always bad, they've brought us some really great times and I'll forever cherish those great times I had with him. I was the first girl to actually make Harry stop his old habits. Aside from sleeping with Daisy that one time, he hasn't even thought of being with another girl when he and I got closer.

"Why did this have to happen?" I whispered to myself, feeling my chest ache.

"Because I was the idiot that screwed it all up."

I jumped and turned around to find Harry leaning against the large desk, "Harry? W-What are you doing here?"

My heart skipped a beat just by looking at him. I noticed it doesn't take much for my heart to go crazy when it comes to him... only him. He will surely be the only person that can make me feel this way, no doubt about it.

He shrugged and looked out the window, "I come here when I need to think or just forget about things."

"This is where I-"

"I know," he cut me off, "why do you think I chose this specific room?" He smiled.

There's that smile that constantly makes my heart race. The smile that can always make me feel better, no matter what situation we're in. But it's also the smile that hides everything he's feeling.

I sighed, "Harry, we shouldn't-"

"Aurora, please." He cut me off, once again. "Don't make me stay away from you, please. I just- I'm not me- I mean, I-" He cut himself off and took a deep breath in, then let it out.

The room was silent, the only thing that could be heard was our breathing. It wasn't an awkward silence, more like a way for me to encourage Harry to talk.

I know I said I didn't want to be around him anymore, but I obviously can't just leave and ignore him for the rest of Daisy's pregnancy. He knows that. He knows I care about him way too much than to allow myself to cut all ties with him.

He walked over to me and placed a hand on my cheek, "Aurora... can I kiss you?" He whispered.
