Fix You - Harry Styles Sister Fanfic

Chapter Three.

“What, are you not happy to see me?” Harry said, his arms falling to his sides, dropping from there previous stage of expecting a hug.

“Uhh yeah- long time no see…” I said, feeling uncomfortable with all the family around.

‘Make it look sincere…’ I thought as I made my way over to Harry.

He engulfed me in his arms and spun me around before I could even wrap my arms around him. All I could hear was aw’s and it made tears prick in my eyes.

He finally put me down and I cleared my throat.

“I umm- I’m going to go freshen up…” I said before running up the stairs and to my room.

 Once I was in my room I closed the door quietly and dived onto my bed. I just lay there, thinking about nothing, when my door opened; someone entered.

“Go away!” I groaned, not having the energy to lift my head and identify the person.

“Mum sent me up to get you, birthday girl.” Harry chuckled, picking up stuff and looking around. This bugged me, when he was my age if I even looked in his room he would yell at me. That’s one thing our family is weird about, our own space and belongings.

“C’mon El – oh and I’m taking you out tomorrow.” He said as I sat up and slide to the end of my bed.

“I have school.” I said shooting him down. He looked at me seriously then busted out in laughter.

“Yeah ok, some online schooling bullshit.” He said and I just stared at him frowning.

“Harry?!” mum yelled from downstairs. “Coming mum.” He yelled back, and then walked over to me.

“Let’s go.” He said offering me his hand, but I stood up and rushed past him out the door. I heard him mumble something along the lines of ‘well then’ but just kept going.

“Well how nice of you to join us…” mum said, annoyed and I merely smiled.

We sat around the extended dinning room table, all eating and talking about the little things.

I on the other hand, sat there, quietly and ate. Not a single person probably remembers I’m here, there all focused on Harry. Asking him about touring and how all the boys are, all that stupid stuff.

“So Harry…” Robin started. UGH.

“Mum may I be excused?” I asked, removing my arm from around my leg, perched on the chair so my knee was blocking my face.

“Umm sure sweetheart?” she replied, looking confused. I got up and brought my plate to the kitchen, washing it off and then grabbed a bottle of water, before heading downstairs.

My fisherman’s sweater was sitting on the couch so I grabbed it and threw it on before dialing Abby.

“Hey! How’s the party?” she asked, her two brothers could be heard fighting in the background.

“You knew and didn’t tell me?” I accused her, with a humorous huff afterwards.

“Uhh duhhh! Your mum let me in on it while we were waiting for you yesterday ha!” she chuckled.

“So anyway, like I asked before. How’s the party?”

“Ugh, same old shit.” I groaned. “Everyone focused on Harry?” she asked, she knows the way it is around here.

“Yeah…” I said my voice shaking. “Hey, Ellie its okay! Look I know how you feel, remember who as twin brother that are 7.” She said gradually growing annoyed by the mere talking about them.

“Aha I forgot.” I said, wiping a few tears from my cheeks while chuckling. The faces of Tom and Hank pop into my mind.

“I have to go, but text me alright?” Abby said before I agreed then we hung up.

I buried my face into my hands, trying to stop my shaky breaths and tears. It was no use. The dam was broken and I couldn’t stop the flow of tears. I still heard everyone upstairs chatting so I just let it all out.

Fuck it.

Harry POV

“Hey Harry, can you go get Ellie again?” mum asked and I got up going downstairs.

I was concentrating on my phone going downstairs and just popped in the door way of the basement.

“Ellie mum says to come back upstairs.” I said not glancing up from my phone.

“Just give me a minute.” She replied, her voice sounding weak and compromised. This caused me to snap my head to her.

“Are you ok?” I asked. She nodded, wiping her face with her sleeve.

“What’s wrong you can tell me?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“I have a migraine, don’t really want to be around anyone.” she mumbled.

“You sure?” I asked, because I know she’s lying. “Yeah…” she whispered. “C’mon Ellie! Get your butt up here!” mum yelled from upstairs and I saw Ellie close her eyes, more tears escaping.

I turned around, taking two steps at a time back upstairs, walking into the packed family room.

“Where is she?” mum asked, all attention on me. “She say’s she’s not well.” I replied, sitting on the arm rest of the sofa.

“Oh that’s to bad.” Aunt Maureen sad and everyone started talking again.

“It was good to see you too!” I said numerous times to family as they slowly filed out.

“See you soon.” My mum said to the last group of guests leaving.

“Well I’m going to go to my room now.” Gemma said then flew up the stairs.

“Yeah its getting late, I think I’m going to go watch some TV.” I said heading downstairs.

Ellie was still downstairs, curled up at one end of the sofa. I went and sat on the other end and turned on the TV. Channel surfing for a few minutes before I heard mum and Robin upstairs.

“The least she could do was come up and say bye to everyone. How ungrateful could she be?” Mum said, putting away the plates.

“She’s had quite the attitude lately, its getting old. I agree.” Robin answered back.

“I’m so embarrassed and anger at her.” Mum said slamming the kitchen drawers. I looked over at Ellie and she had tears in her eyes again. It did look like she stopped crying for a bit.

“El, c’mere.” I said, putting the control on the table. She looked hesitant looking at my face and not moving. Until we heard mum slam another drawer. Ellie sprung up and crashed into my side, sobs exploding from her.

“Hey, its alright.” I said rubbing her back trying to calm her.

“Mum hates me. Robin hates me. The whole family hates me.” she said into my shoulder.

“No Ellie, she’s just stressed. Its okay.” I said kissing her forehead. Just then we heard footsteps coming down. Ellie turned her head to look at the doorway which now had an anger looking mum in it.

“Young lady, you should be humiliated!” Mum yelled. “We put all this time into this party for you and you hide and not talk the whole time?”

Ellie gripped my shirt tighter and tried to stifle her cries.

“Mum I’m sure she’s sorry.” I said trying to hint to mum that now’s not the time.

“Well she’s in big trouble with me tomorrow…” mum trailed off, slowly leaving.

“El lets watch a movie, what do you say?” I asked and she nodded slowly.

I put in ‘Across the Universe’ one of her favourite movies and she cuddled up to me more. About half way through she fell asleep and I took her upstairs to her room. Boy do I have a surprise for her tomorrow.
