"best friends"

Chapter 1

Harry styles imagine

You and harry have been best friends for as long as you can remember. You two were literally inseparable. You two did everything together. Went to school together even though he was a year older than you were. And that was tough considering the fact that he was a senior this year. A lot of people thought you two were dating considering the fact that you two went everywhere together. But, you were just friends. Every time a guy would screw you over, or cheat, etc. harry would always have your back, and whenever you knew the girl wasn't right for him he knew to back off. If was just one of those things where whatever you said, whatever you did, whatever happened, you two would always be there, no judgement at all.

But this time, this time was different. Harry had just been recently liking this girl at your school, Ashley. Ashley was nice, sweet. But you knew stuff about her from the previous relationships that you knew would hurt harry. You couldn't risk it.

"Harry just listen to me! she's not the girl I'm telling you, she's not who you think she is!"

"And you think that's gonna stop me?! Come on (Y/N) you always do this!"

"Do what?! Protect you?!"

"You always find a reason not to date every girl I've liked, there's always been a particular reason why I can't be in a relationship! I haven't been in one relationship because of you in all of high school!"

"Fine, go after Ashley, I won't stop you, but when you find out what happened or what she'll do to you like the times before, don't come crying to me because I warned you!"

Harry slammed the door leaving your house. You couldn't believe him, he's always listened, why is he being so stubborn? You wondered.

The next day at school harry was acting strange, he did everything to avoid you. He didn't even wave to you at all whenever he saw you, when you gave a smile, he rolled his eyes, and walked away. Deciding what the hell was going on you text him

"Mind telling me why you're not talking to me?"

"I'm not gonna let you make my decisions anymore. Quit protecting me, I'm going after Ashley"

"Fine. You wanna get hurt? Go ahead. But avoiding me isn't gonna do shit."

No reply.

You couldn't believe that harry would actually pull a stunt like this. Ashley wasn't good for harry but you have to show him a way to prove it.

That night you didn't hear from harry or anything, being a little weird considering the fact that he lived with you and your mom after what happened with his parents when he was 10.

It had been 11:30 when harry finally came home.

"Where have you been?" You curiously asked

"I was out with Ashley" he remarked giving you a glare

"Look, ok I'm sorry! I won't make any more decisions for you, I get it, you like Ashley and you can go after her as much as you want too."

He stopped in his tracks on his way to his room, which was right next to yours and put his hand up. "It's not that I'm mad at you for stopping me, but for treating me like a baby" he turned around looking at you "if anyone's supposed to be protecting someone, it's me protecting you."

You looked up at him "excuse me?"

"Come on (Y/N), I'm older than you and I don't think it's fair for you to protect the older best friend when you still the protecting" he brushes your hair.

You smack his hand away from you and scoff "you're kidding right? You spend one night with Ashley and she's already changing you! Forget it harry, I'm done"

"But (Y/N)-

You slam your bedroom door before he can say anything else and lock it so he won't walk in. You couldn't believe that he was treating you like a baby, for the first time in your life. you always treated equally, not one older or younger than the other. One night with one girl really can change him can it?
