Lost (Harry Styles)

Two

An over hyper active puppy comes bounding towards me, tongue lolling out of its mouth. I wince as it barks once more. Panting, the dog jumps up on its hind legs and paws my knees.

The boy smirks at my terrified expression.

"Dixon, stop flirting with her." He says still smirking.

I really don't like him. I can already tell that he is going to be full of himself.

"You must be Harry." My dad says with an overly cheerful smile.

"Yup..." He says in a bored voice, back to how he was originally.

There is an awkward silence. We wait there for about 10 seconds. Me staring at Harry, Harry staring at me. Oh no, I hope this wont turn into one of those staring competitions. I'll lose and he"ll probably never let me forget about it.

A voice interrupts, it must be his mother, "Harry darling, tell our guests that dinner is ready." Thank God for that.

"Dinner is ready..." He says solemnly. One minute he's smiling, the next he's frowning. I've only known him for less than 5 minutes and he's already confusing me.

He leads us to the kitchen area very very slowly. I almost think he's doing it on purpose just to get on my nerves, at the moment he's doing quite a good job of that.

We all sit down around the table whilst dad and Bruce chat and mum and by the sound of it Andrea gossip. Harry is still staring at me. This is really annoying me now. I want to eat my lovely dinner and not feel self conscious.

I can't help but notice some more of his features. He starts playing with his ear piercing, twisting it. He begins to join in a conversation with my dad and Bruce. He laughs along with them. His laugh gives me a tingling sensation. One I can't describe.

"So how old are you Ava?" Andrea says smiling at me as the dog, Dixon, starts licking my leg.

"I'm 17." I say returning the smile. As I say this I start to move away from Dixon but the friction of the floor causes me to wobble on my chair.

"Oh that's wonderful, Harry's 18! He loves being 18, I'm sure you will too." She says with a laugh.

I'm balancing on the two back legs of the chair now trying to grab onto anything that is in my reach. I feel myself finally fall backwards onto the cold hard stone floor banging my head in the process. A twinge of pain shoots through my head as my eyes water from the shock. I open my eyes. Everyone is crowded around me, apart from Harry.

"Are you okay love?" Andrea says with worry evident in her voice.

I'm expecting to have another bruise on my head now.

"Yes." I say feeling my head for a bump or a lump. I finally come across something that does not follow the shape of my head.

"Uh, I think I have a lump on my head." I say with a timid voice as I look up to see Harry rolling his eyes.

"Harry love, can you take Ava down to the basement to get ice for her head?" Andrea pouts and stares at him with her hypnotic eyes.

He gives a loud sigh. I swear...

"Okay, fine."

Do I really have to walk with him? I'd rather let Dixon bark straight in my ear whilst licking it. If he keeps this act up then i'll just offer to go by myself. I haven't even done anything wrong.

We walk out of the room. As soon as the door closes I whisper rather harshly, "What the hell is wrong with you? I haven't done anything to earn these horrible glares that you are giving me. Rolling your eyes when I have a bump on my head. Pathetic."

"It was just a bump. It's not like you're going to get a brain tumour." he says rather calmly.

"Tell me what I have done to get bombarded with your stupid attitude. We met like an hour ago and since when I have barely said a word to you." I quicken my pace. This house is getting quite heated.

"Maybe that is the problem." He says with that glare I almost loathe. I scoff. How dare he, it's not like he made any effort to say anything.

"It's not like you made the effort either." I say folding my arms across my chest, my chest heaving up and down from my anger. I watch him as his eyes slowly trail down to my chest. I quickly unfold them remembering that it makes them look bigger. If it was any other guy I probably wouldn't mind but that kind of attention is definitely not needed when I'm arguing with Harry.

We reach the basement, the room is pitch black as we walk down the stairs.

"The light switch is down there. Im going to switch it on, find the freezer and do something useful for once instead of bashing your head." I can tell he's smirking.

I feel a big force against the back of my shoulder, completely caught off guard I stumble forward and land on my knees which I can tell are grazed.

"Fuck. Watch where you're going will you? I get that you don't like me but there isn't any need to push me. I already have enough injuries as it is." I say with anger evident in my voice.

"Sorry, I really didnt mean to, it's pitch black and-" he says franticly as he switches the light on. His eyes have softened. He sounds sorry but for all I know he could be lying.

"Save it." I say shooting him a venomous look. His eyes quickly harden.

He walks over to the freezer and opens the door. He reaches over for the ice, as he does so I hear a ripping sound and soon realise it's the tearing of his skinny jeans. I can't help but laugh.

He quickly turns around. His cheeks turning bright red. I try to hold in my laughter but it doesn't seem to help. He doesn't look too impressed.

Harry chucks me the ice bag and runs up the stairs towards the door.

"Wait, Harry! I'm sorry." I say just as frantically as he did before. The last thing I want to do is get in trouble. my dad told me to be on my best behaviour...

He stops mid step and turns to face me with a straight face.

"Save it." He says eyeing me up and down in disgust.

Hey, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I will try to update everyday through the holidays and will try to fit it in during school days, it really just depends on the amount of homework I have to do. I tried to make this chapter quite long seeing as the first one wasn't long at all. Feedback would be appreciated :-). Also sorry these two chapters have been boring. I'll be sure to pack these stories with lots of drama, any ideas? Thanks for reading!x
