Taken- One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 4

Avery’s POV
BOOM the fireworks were going off loudly right above our heads. They were so beautiful There was always something that mesmerized me about fireworks they were so beautiful, they always reminded me summers before my parents divorce we would go and stay with my cousins in Minnesota for the 4th of July. They had a lake house and my older cousins Jack and Luke would shoot fireworks off the dock. Those were some of my fondest childhood memories, those and Florida. I was snapped out of my daze when I felt Harry’s hand wrap around mine, interlocking his fingers with mine. I hated holding hands. I never even let Derek hold my hand, but there was just something about this, with Harry that made it okay, that made it not so weird. I kind of liked it.

Kenzi’s POV
Me and Niall were watching the fireworks together. He had his arm around my waist, and we were sitting very close to each other. Fireworks are so beautiful. They reminded me of summers in Colorado. Those were the best summers. It was always so warm in the day but almost always rained on the 4th. One time we were at my pool and it started to rain so hard that everyone was gathered under a tiny awning, but they shot of the fireworks right on time anyway. I loved summer because it meant no school. I hated school. I always got pretty decent grades but there is just something about waking up early just to be around a bunch of people you don’t really like for six hours then coming home and doing homework for two hours. I felt Niall’s grip tighten as an exceptionally loud firework went off, I laughed a little bit and he smiled down at me. When I woke up this morning I never dreamed that I would be here tonight with my dream guy. Today was perfect. This summer was perfect. I hoped this year would be perfect.

Avery’s POV
Harry’s grip tightened on my hand as the finale started. He turned me around to face him. I knew what he was going to do as he started to lean his head down to meet mine, I should have stopped him. Why would I do this to Derek. He loved me. He was one of my best friends. But Harry was so sweet and cute and apparently he liked me too. Just then his lips met mine gently as his hands moved to my waist, pulling me closer to him. I wanted to kiss him back. I couldn’t if I did then I would be no better then... his lips moved perfectly against mine. Stop it Avery, this is not okay. I pushed him away. I had to get out of there I couldn’t do that to Derek. I ran off toward the front gate to get a taxi. I heard him call after me but I wouldn’t turn around. This was just a one time thing I would never see Harry Styles again, so none of this mattered anyway.

Kenzi’s POV
“Well looks like Harry and Avery are getting along just fine” Niall said pointing to a couple making out in front of us. I gasped in shock. I could not believe Avery. How could she do that?! She always did things like this to sabotage her current relationship but this was a new low. “Or not” Niall said as Avery pushed Harry away and ran past us I shouted after her but she didn’t turn around. “What happened there?” Niall asked as Harry walked up to us running his hands through his curly hair.
“I have no bloody idea” He sighed looking rather disappointed.
“Um, we better go after her.” I said. The fireworks had just ended and it was late so we should have left anyway. My phone buzzed, it was Avery Sorry I was feeling sick I’ll meet you guys at the hotel - A. Why did she lie to me like that. I looked around for Megan,“have any of you seen Megan?” I asked
“Yeah her and Zayn are snogging over there” Liam said. When did he get here? The other boys looked surprised. I couldn’t say I was shocked Megan was kind of a slut.
“Okay, well bye guys. Um I guess I might see you later.” I said, I reached up to give Niall a hug
“I’ll call you,” He said kissing me on the cheek.
“Great”  I smiled at him. When I finally found Megan her and Zayn were still going at it. I practically had to pry them apart. “Come on, we have to go!” I said pulling her away. When we got into the taxi my phone buzzed. It was Niall already. Just making sure you didn’t give me a fake number haha Can’t wait to see you in London ;) xx Niall. He was so cute. When we got back to the hotel all the lights were off. We walking into the bedroom Avery was in one of the beds. “Hey Ave, how ya feelin’” I said gently.
“I’m such a bitch” She groaned
“Wanna tell us what happened” I said as me and Megan went to sit on the end of her bed.
