Invisible 2 (H.S. AU)

Chapter 19

Victoria's P.O.V

I was sweating the whole way home. What was I going to tell mom?

"Baby, are you okay?" Harry asked me.

"Just nervous," I replied.

"Don't worry, it's going to be okay," He said, putting his hand on my leg.

I smiled at his warm touch, but it didn't unravel the knots in my stomach.

The ride to my house was quick- too quick. I squeaked when my house came into view.

"Love, I'm sorry. Its going to be okay." He kissed me on the cheek.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too." He responded. I gave him one last look before I got out of the car and trekked my way up to the house.

Harry's P.O.V

I watched my girl as she slumped up the stairs. I felt bad that she was probably going to get in trouble again with her Mum but to be honest, I wasn't that sorry.

I loved her to death and didn't want to see her yelled at, but to feel her fall asleep and wake up in my arms was like nothing else in this world. It was worth the guilt I felt for getting her in trouble. It was magical.

Is that selfish?

If it was, Victoria didn't seem to mind seeing ad she didn't argue with my suggestion. Much at least.

I pulled out of her driveway as she made her way into the house.

What was I going to do now? Honestly, I didn't have much of a life outside of my beautiful girl so I wasn't really sure where to go.

I didn't want to go back to my place, it felt too empty there. Ever since Victoria walked into my place that very first time and lit it up with her energy, it feels wrong without her there.

Well.... College would be starting soon. Maybe I should go to the mall and try and buy some shit. Didn't kids like to go buy new clothes or something for school?

I wasn't a 'normal' kid growing up in high school. So I wasn't sure what we were "supposed" to do.

In a split second decision, I headed towards the mall. Fuck it.

On the ride there, I began thinking about college. In all honesty I had no idea what subject I wanted to major in just yet. I applied to the community college near my apartment to take general education courses until I figured it out. With as shitty as my grades were in high school, I'm surprised a college even accepted me.

I mused my life decisions as I pulled up at the mall.

Parking in any random spot and getting out, I stared up at the huge collection of buildings in front of me, sneering. I had no idea why I showed up here. This was a place for preppy teenage girls. The only reason any guys showed up here was when they were being dragged by said-preppy-teenage-girls.

Sighing, I walked inside anyway. I was bombarded by the overwhelming sent of perfume as soon as I walked in the door. Oh God.

Plugging my nose and walking quickly away, I decided to make my way to the food court. My stomach growled in agreement.

I walked around for ten minutes, lost as hell. "Where the fuck is the food court?" I huffed in aggravation.

I saw a couple walk by holding hands and eating pretzels. I knew I must be close.

Seeing the couple made me miss my own love. I wondered how she was doing?

I grabbed out my phone to text her when I heard someone call my name. "Harry?"

Ice shot down my spine as I recognized the snakes voice.

She came right up next to me and I dropped my phone in surprise. She kicked it and it scattered across the floor.

"Oops! Here let me get it." Be fore I could protest, or even move, she picked up my phone and looked at the screen.

"Its not cracked, all good." She smiled, handing it back to me. "Sorry about that hun."

"What the fuck do you want Stephanie." I growled. "I'm not in the mood for your fucking games."

"hey, hey, hey. That's no way to talk to your ex, now is it?" Her eyes flared up at the word 'ex'. "I miss you. Time has been good to you." Her eyes racked my body that looked no different from when she last saw me.

"It's only been four months." I sneered at the she-devil.

"Has it?" She asked. "It seems like ages since we last made love." She stepped closer and her eyes and voice grew soft.

"I've never made love to you." I told her. "It was all out of need."

"Oh that's not what I recall hun. I remember pretty well how many times you told me you loved me. I loved you too."

"Of course you did." I spit at her sarcastically. "You've never loved another human being but yourself."

"And you." She smiled. "Why don't we catch up? Food courts right there."

"I have nothing left to say to you." I told her. Yet I made no move to run. I should. I know I should run- far far away from this stupid girl with gorgeous blonde hair. But I couldn't bring myself to.

I have never, in my life, been able to say no to her. Today was no different.

And she fucking knew it.

She smiled, knowing she had me trapped. "Lunch is on me." She smiled, sashaying towards the nearest food place.

I snorted. She always used to tell me she would pay, and she always knew that I wouldn't let her. I guess some things never change.
