Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

39. Lifted

Driving in a car, in the dark, with nowhere to go is not how I planned tonight to go.

I didn't know what much to do but go to the only house I can think of that's close enough to go to at night.

I walked up the stairs I've only ever been up once lightly knocking on the door.

The door swung open to a tall smiling boy, "Vanessa, what brings you here?" Calum asked holding the door out farther for me to enter.

"Umm, no reason. Just came to see Gen" I answered giving him a half smile.

"Yeah, of course. We were just watching a film in the living area" he held his hand out, motioning for me to come in.

"Why would she go in if she knows there's someone in there?" Gen asked stuffing her face with popcorn with Luke sitting next her.

"Because if she didn't then it would be a horrible movie" Ashton explained throwing a handful of M&M's at her.

"Don't throw things at me!!" she exclaimed throwing popcorn back.

"Stop it" Luke said taking the bowl from Gen, "I want to watch this"

I cleared my throat to make my presence visible in the dark room having eight pairs, minus Calum's, on me.

"Vanessa!" Gen exclaimed getting off the couch shuffling popcorn kernels off her clothes, "What are you doing here?" she asked walking over to me.

"Umm..."

"She came to see you" Calum answered sitting by Ashton and Michael.

"Oh, okay" she smiled taking my hand and leading us to the hallway, "What did he do?" she whispered.

"Why do you think anything happened?" I asked trying to fake a smile.

"Because I know Harry more than anyone and I know he did something to bring you here"

I sighed look up at her, "We had an argument is all"

"What did he say?"

"He over reacted about me hanging out with you"

"And?"

"He started yelling about how he doesn't care about me being harmed"

"Did you tell him you were with me?" she asked crossing her arms.

"I forgot my phone"

"So that's a no?" I nodded, she bit her bottom lip, "I don't really know how else to say this but you should've called him"

"You're siding with him!"

"No, Vanessa I'm not but let me put it this way. The last time a girl he really cared for left with out him knowing she got hooked on drugs and got killed"

"Everything has to be about Ally! Ally this, Ally that. I'm not Alison!!" I exclaimed having the four boys in the living area look back at us.

"I know you're not, and so does Harry. But Vanessa he's trying not to mess it up, he was worried is all"

"That still doesn't change the fact the he said hurtful things, that by the way aren't true. I own no blades anymore"

"Vanessa, Harry's a son of a bitch. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. But he's like that because a lot has happened"

"Like what? Besides Ally"

"I can't say"

"Why not?"

"It's not my place Vanessa"

"Just tell me"

She looked away bringing her dark eyes back to mine, "Do you know about his dad?"
