I woke up the next morning and it was raining. Honestly, I prefer rain over sun on most days. After my shower, I headed to the closet. I pulled out a black pair of sweats that only reached and gripped around my ankles. I put on a plain white t-shirt and covered it with grey hoodie. I wore a pair of black converse with white laces and put my hair into a side braid. Then, I took out my make up. I didn't really use much makeup so I just put eyeliner and a tiny bit of blush. I grabbed my phone, and my bookbag and walked out the room to meet my mother in the kitchen.

"Good morning, honey." She greeted me.

"Good morning."

"Harry called and said to meet him outside at 6:40, he's driving you to school since its raining." She said.

"Oh, okay." I was confused on why he didn't text me so checked my phone and he had texted me twice to say good morning and to tell me to meet him outside.

By the time I finished my cereal it was 6:40 and he was already outside, he's never late. I put my bowl in the sink, kissed my mother goodbye and headed outside.

He drove slower than usual but we got there on time.

Lunch time rolled around and I sat with my friends. We finished the conversation from yesterday and turns out Zayn is a real romantic. He sounds like the sweetest boy in the world behind that punk exterior.

When I got up to throw out my trash I looked over at Harry. He was sitting with his nightmare of a girlfriend and Niall. Niall was looking at me and looked at his shoes when my eyes met his. His cheeks were red and he kept playing with his hair. I giggled a bit and sat with my friends. I wondered if he really did like me. Or if Harry was just trying his best to set me up with someone besides Brooklyn. I decided to tell the girls about all of this going on to see what they thought.

"Um, Paris?" Jo snapped me back into reality. I hadn't realized I spaced out for that long.

"Yeah, sorry what?" I asked.

"What's going on in that head of yours? Who is it? Who are you thinking about? Tell us now!" Jo was my best girl friend, that's why she could read me like a book. But she wasn't as close as Harry and I.

"Well, it's no one really. It's just that yesterday Harry told me that Niall kinda likes me and he was gonna ask me out on a date. And I was thinking about it that's all. Niall's really sweet and I caught him looking at me, so maybe I should just give him a chance, maybe?" They all looked at each other and nodded. They told me it would be a good idea. Niall never really got out but he was really nice and had an amazing sense of humor and he was so adorable. So why not?

When the day was over it was pouring harder than it was this morning so Harry and I had to walk back to his car under my umbrella because he left his in the car. He opened the passenger door for me and I sat down. He came back around the front of the car and sat in his seat. He closed the umbrella and put on the back seat.

"So where to?" He asked.

"Can we just go get Pizza, I'm really hungry."

"Okay." He replied.

I texted my mother that I was going to get pizza with Harry and she told me to be safe and to not do anything stupid. A few minutes later Harry pulls up to Charlie's and we get out of the car. The rain had stopped a bit so he convinced me to leave the umbrella in the car. We open the door and walk up to the register. We order a large thin crust pizza, just cheese. They tell us the wait time is about ten minutes so we sit in our booth.

"Harry?" I ask.

"Yes, Paris?"

"I thought about what you said and I think I want to go on that date with Niall." I say.

His eyes widen and he has the biggest smile on his face. "Really? What made you change your mind?"

"Well. I don't really know to be honest. I don't think that he is one of those guys who'd use me. Plus, he's really sweet and cute so why not?" I respond.

They bring the pizza to our table and Harry eats the majority of the pizza.

He drives me home after that and the sun is out again. He gives me an even longer hug this time because I reconsidered the whole Niall thing. I can tell he just wants to make his friend happy and I am glad he's thinking that way.

I unlock the door and call my mother's name but she isn't home. I walk to the fridge and find a note on the door that reads:

*I'm on a date tonight. There's a few burgers in the freezer if you're hungry just cook those up. Call me if anything. Love you. -Mom*

I am glad my mom is out for once. She hasn't dated anyone since my parents got a divorce when I was seven. My dad used to abuse my mom, get drunk a lot and he threatened to kill us. One day she had it when he came home and started knocking stuff over. My mom called the cops but he gave her a black eye before they came to get him. He's the reason why I have trust issues and why I am sometimes bitter. He used to be the best father in the entire world up until I turned five when he started getting drunk and violent. The day of my fifth birthday was the last time he told me that he loved me and I have never been the same since then. But my mom is strong and she's made me the strong, confident girl that I am now, and that I don't need to suck up to anyone. So I'm glad she's started dating again. I just hope she doesn't find someone like my father. I know she won't, she is very careful and has made wise choices since then.

It's 9:45 and I have already showered and done my homework. I decide to make my burger and some french fries. It's 10:15 by the tme I finish eating and I put the dirty pans in the dishwasher. I head up to my the bathroom, brush my teeth and the go to my room. I turn on the tv and watch Full House to kill time while waiting for my mom to get home but before I know it, I drift to sleep.
